Finally got the PT in the mail today. Dug around in the packaging in case any kind of samples were in there. Nadda (some cool cards to pass around, though!).

It doesn't want to work with my wall charger =( Friggin' BOO. Will have to try something else there. Reckon it won't work with the half-butted car charger adapter I have either, but will give that a go on the way to work tomorrow. So, as I hunkered down like a squatting monkey beside the PC (couldn't reach the seat, so the wife had a hardy-har go at me... I bet I looked the fool), I slapped on a few cartos and gave it a good lashing. Hits like a brick.

The button on anybody else's a little wonky? Kinda' flip-floppy and loose feeling? Only works when I press it down and kinda' rub it back towards the cartomizer side.

Still, it packs a kick like a donkey in a briar patch.

You're not alone. I have three 2 amp wall chargers, which I understand is what you need to use (as opposed to the 500mA ones) with a usb. I'm not fond of using the usb with my laptop but would like to be able to plug into the wall. My passthrough has never worked this way with any of the 2 amp plugs, although it does work with the car adaptor.......

Plugged it up in the car and it worked for the first 2 draws, then conked out. A few strings of choice words and I put it aside and vaped on the regular setups the rest of the work day. Went to Radio Shack after work and grabbed a high-end 2A car adaptor and USB-wall socket thinking, "Boo-yah, baby!" Hopped back in the car and gave the PT another go with the new car adaptor. Nuffin' =( Sad panda all the way home.

Tried the wall adaptor at home and it was a no go, as well (wish I'd caught your post before buying that thing!). So I took the PC head out of its hidey-hole and put it up on the desk closer where I can sit and vape and browse. Precarious and awkward placement, and I'm sure the wife will make me put it back in its safe haven by Monday, but for now it's mine all mine! Works like a charm through the straight USB (despite that button sit-chee-ashun), so I reckon I'll chance it on the PC for now. The punch those things pack will ruin ya' from standard battery setups lol Need...a ...mod... sooooooon!

Looking forward to the weekend off. Nothing big or extravagant about it, but no work has to amount to something! Hope everybody's having a great Friday thus far!

I got the i-Q 5v 2A power usb adpater from Walmarts. Only costs 10 bucks and works like a charm ! Been using it for many months now. Never had a problem no matter which PT I plug into it. It has 2 ports so I keep 2 PT's on it with different flavors. I just plug it in any wall socket in the place depending on where I'm gonna be :smokie:

Thanks for the heads-up! Checking My Store on Wally-World dawt-com right now to see if they have that in stock. If so I may be a happy camper tomorrow, huzzah!

They didn't carry it in my local store so I bought it online at Walmarts and they sent it to my store for pickup in 3 days. You can also have it sent to your home if you'd like :smokie:

Hello everyone :)
I took over my dh's computer for a bit. I took apart the laptop and it doesn't look like I'll be able to fix it :( But I found that they do sell external chargers for laptop batteries. So it can still be used. I'll just have to limit my time and remember to save everything!
Good to hear that your pain is going down Morandir sir! Hope it continues to go that way!
Keener, I hope you find something that works! I love vaping on the PT!! It is complete awesomeness! Although I'm not getting into mods. I still like only V4L batts.
Have fun with that laundry Ms. Keelala!! One good thing about dh being out of work, I haven't had to do any house chores for months!!
ANITA!!! It's great to see you!
Waylonjessi, hope you get some good rest tonight! And have a great weekend!
And lol Iowa! I hate it when that happens!
Hi Keyzy!! I know, I'm late...but hi anyway :)
And I hope you are enjoying your new flavors Chimchim!
Oh, and a huge thank you to Kittypie!! I've been enjoying the sour cherry all day :D

Not sure how long I'll be able to stay on, so I'm going to go browse around. See you purples later!

Morandir, good to hear the pain level keeps going down. We're pullin' for you, hoss. Mojo, mojo, do your thang.

It's late Friday night and I'm bored--unbelievable. Child finally went to sleep, nothing on TV. I'm going to look up an ABBA karaoke song and try to sing it in heavy metal mode, then old Outlaw country mode and see how they turn out. And if that doesn't kill the boredom, I'm gonna' try putting on "The Time Warp" from Rocky Horror Picture Show and see if I can still remember the dance--'cause nothing says "Party hard Friday" like a jump to the left in boxers and a pair of golden oldies flip-flops.
