usb passtrough. not getting something.

[rmantas]

Hi everyone i am new guy and just got my Titan 510 yesterday.

I am thinking about usb passtrough and i want to ask about voltage.
Usb voltage is 5V is it not too much for my 510? i know that battery's voltage is 3.7V.

So when i make my passtrough do i need to add rezistor to lower voltage?

Here is what i am going to do:
Find somekind fitting for atomizer (i dont want to break my 2 good batteris)
take two wires, + and -, connect button and connect them to usb wire than insert it in laptop ant smoke.
Do i need to add reizstors and where? Is it a good idea? am i missing something?

You will probably get better answers in the mods Forum. Having said that, however, why the plan on making a passthrough? Do you have plans on improving the current ones available? Just curious.

i dont have any usb passtrough and i smoke while am on my laptop. I made a mistake and i both the titan on the reseller in my city so paid more and didnt get few accessories thats my mistake. i also looking to order some juice, because added cartidages are really small, i just smoke a bit and i got no fumes, battery isnt holind for long though. I am new to all this stuff so sorry for mistake and etc.

There are two types of passthroughs that I am aware of. One has an inline battery. This type will provide the voltage of the battery to the atomizer. In this configuration, the USB power simply provides a trickle charge to keep the battery charged. This is a 'lame' passthrough.

The better type of passthough provides the full power of a USB port to the atomizer, Typically this would be 5 volts. I prefer five volts or more to my atomizers for the enhanced throat hit and vapor production. This is not for everyone, though.

I get it, i am going tu use the second way. The main question for me is that 5volt isnt too much for my Titan 510 atomizer? Wont it burn down or overheat, or something?

5v on a 510 atty should be fine... some people say they burn out a bit quicker, but i don't think 5v it that harsh on them.... now 6v and higher is a bit much IMO

 

[jerrydon10]

No, you're OK, just don't let the atty get dry.

5 volts will likely light your fire. Go for it.

hmm i made, but the main problem is the fitting to atomizer, i could find any tight metal fitting so i just came up with isolated cables and creades something but thats not safe and comfotable. hmm

i see it and undestand. my only problem is connector to 510 atomizer. I found some sites selling them but the price is a bit high for such small item

I think it's cheaper to buy the passthrough then do the mod:

JOYE510 Manual Battery Silver


Black Manual USB passthrough for Joye510 - Spare parts - Wholesale & Retail Best E-smoking Supplier=

really not with shipping to my country i would spend about 20,30bucks.
Here i have everything, i just need connector, other stuff is from old mouses, cables and etc.

Hello
I'm a license radio tech and work on computer . I have now built what you are asking about .
1 . don't run anything form your usb port on you computer .
2.build your own power supply use batteries . you can get battery holders at radio shack.
3 the parts I used was form and old atomizer . not a 510 .. but it had female threads that match my 510 atomizer I used 4-AA batteries .
if you want more info let me know.

Why dont run from laptop usb?
Why use batteries, charge them and etc, when you just can plug in and vipe.
