USB Passthrough question

[artguybri]

Hi guys and gals,

VERY new to all this but love the idea of a manual USB Passthrough, however, i have a couple of questions

1. Can i use a normal plug to USB (something like an ipod plug)

2. ditto for a car adapter

3. Could i use a usb powerpack to run a passthrough? Idea would be to use it traveling to work and back, powerpack in pocket, running PT wire down sleeve to hand, voila! manual PT vaping joy!! Anything i need to look out for?

Yes to all three of these mate, though you might look even stranger vaping with a power pack attached to your belt

As Jrd said, a big yes to all three

1. yes , but I think the ipod plug has an output of 500mA. you need one with an output of at least 1000mA.

2. I can't see why not

3. yes . the kensington comes highly recommended

Apo, I seem to be forever asking you questions!! In your opinion, would the kensington give good output, and how long do you think it would work for? And another question!!! Do you happen to have either a link or a model number for that device??

art, I can't help you directly with that one as i don't use a passthrough..I'm a mod / big battery kinda guy

But those that do use passthroughs often site kensington as the best.
