USB Passthru ON THE GO!

[docabramson]

So I have been looking around for some type of Portable Power for my Passthru. I just don't like the hit I get from the slim batteries.

I finally found a reasonable price point and realiable source for them.

BestBuy has a Kensington portal USB rechargeable power pack for $14.99!

I got it today and all I have to say is WOOT! I can use my passthru anywhere.

Hope this helps anyone who like me loves the Passthru.

Also, Steve you should look up a local vendor and get some rta's made with the V4L logo on them. Pretty simple process to cut the logo in vinyl.

What's an RTA?

I think T-shirts are the next logical step as well... What's a fanboy without a T-shirt? (I'm lookin' at you Cimyss)

RTA are cut vinyl, Usually u will see them on car windows. I have one on my car for a VW group I am apart of.

Easy to stick on, Easy to pull off.

i need to do a little more looking into. but the box mod i see on some video reviues look all most like a Passthru wraped in a small box with the cord going to the computer or power supply removable for when you want to vape on the go

I also use my passthru in the car - I got a device from black & decker that turns the lighter jack into a usb power port. cost about twenty bucks.

who sells the model you are talking of..I checked Kennsington web site and they have something that sounds like what you have but for 59.95..unless i'm looking at wrong area..also where did you buy your handy little item?

 

[docabramson]

I got it at Best Buy today, I just checked the website but its not showing the item number as available. We did get it in the store though.

Item Number on receipt is K38021 Portable Power Pack $14.99
I don't remember seeing anything about sale.

The one on Kensington website for $59 is the same, the size reminds me of Misty analog Box. It fits in my back pocket perfectly.

I need a baseball cap with the V4L logo on it. Even better, the Vapor King graphics as they appear on the various cases and boxes. Are ya listenin', Steve?

Oh, and a Mont Blanc fountain pen with the logo would be nice, too.

The units at Best Buy are on clearance, so get them while you can at the reduced price. Kensington has upgraded the product and it now includes an iPod cable, otherwise they are exactly the same.

It's a perfect companion for the passthrough, and you can charge it from a PC USB port while you're using it.

Frys has dual-port AC adapters and single-port 12V USB adapters rated at 2 amps for 10 bucks each.

This is what I use to take my passthrough on the go

Fusion Mini Charger

I can just about make it the entire day on it. Got it at radioshak for $20

I got mine at Wal Mart. Just a guick question. How long will the USB pass through work. Will the battery die just like a regular battery.

I've been wondering about that too. I bet they have a long life span though.

It's not a battery. It's a passthrough. As long as it doesn't get damaged it should last a very long time. I haven't taken one apart, but it doesn't seem to be a very complicated device. I don't think the wiring inside will burn out too soon. How long I'm certain. But years would be my thought.

Steve actually sells these at V4L and they are only 8.95 Vapor4Life- Electronic Cigarette: Vapor King Charger

i made a post about this device earlier but i couldnt post a link so here goes
Solio - Portable Hybrid Solar Charger

its a solar powered USB charger wonder if it would work well with the pass through

bump... I just got my Kensington power pack and do want to highly recommend it for PT. It charges up pretty quickly, is MUCH smaller and lighter than I'd expected, and is just terrific when you want that PT luxury without being tethered to anything. Very nice. (I got the one that'll charge a cellphone on the go as well, very handy item.)

Well I got a similar dilemma. For me batteries (small to XL) perform just ok... I wished it had a little more power yet the USB is way overkill for me, it runs too hot and I feel my carts start tasting a little burn after 20 min + of vaping. Is there someting in the middle out there?
