i got my passthrough today and it is AWESOME!!!!!! but for some reason it will not work with my power pack! is this normal, has anyone tried this?
if it is normal has anyone tried using a short usb extension to fix the problem.

as of right now this pass is my favorite device, but if i could use it on my kensington i might never go back to my 510 or m410!!!!:D

o and is there suppose to be a led on the pass? mine does not have one.

It should work 5v out of a usb port is 5v no matter where its from.

I use a 10ft extension and it works great I like it because a i am not confined to the computer area only.

NO there isn't suppose to be a led. the passthru isn't a battery the usb cable goes directly to the cart connection (i am 99% sure on that one, haven't taken one apart)

have you the passthru on the computer? have you tried a different cartomizer?

PLEASE let know if you get it to work on your power pack. if so that opens endless possibilities :D

o ya! i have tried this pass on a wall unit, usb dock and my computer and it is awesome!!!! i did also try a different cartomizer on the kensington because i thought that was the issue, no luck though. i know my kensington is working because my m401 pass works just fine on it.

i am starting to think it is the female connection on the power pack. when it is plugged in there is a larger gap than there is on any other, so i really think that a small extension would fix it. if no one posts in a few days i will just go pick one up and try.

I have a small extension
so if you send me your kensington I will try it out and let you know:D

I understand and that seems like a possibility. I will keep an eye on this post as well. If noone posts and you end up trying it out with the extension PLEASE post I want to do the kensington thing as well.

I was looking around because I had a thought, and I am afraid my thought is right :( that particular power pack might not work on the V4L pass because I think(i am sure this is so) the V4L is a straight through pass no batt and your other passes have batteries inline from what I heard

I verified my theory in this forum
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...anyone-advise-me-usb-power-pack-purchase.html

I haven't personnally experimented on this theory, but it does seem you would need a battery in the curcuit for the pack to have an output. to power the pass

THIS IS JUST A GUESS THOUGH if you try it and it works I am wrong if it doesn't after the short extention than they may be the reason

you could mod it if to work I am sure, if you wanna go through the trouble

but the bats for the VK should do well and while around the house get a long long extension :D

that confuses me! this is the same model of kensington the most are using with the puresmoker passthrough. i have read from the manufacture that there passthrough is a straight through pass! and also it did work once, but it ran constantly without puffing ( i dont even think the cutoff stopped it, dont know why!)

i fully understand what you are saying, i just dont know if that is the case. i may be just hoping a little much here though.

Well all I can say is buy that small usb extension and try your theory out, they don't cost much and you can never have too many extensions.

I wish I had a kensington to play around with, because if it puts out constant power it should work if it didn't I would make it work :D

I have a PCC from V4L (personal charging case) that I love I may purchase another one and mod it to accept my pass. It should work I mean if it can charge a VK batt up to 5 times it should make my pass work as an extended life Vapor King, but who really has the time.

everything that I have from v4l is in reality is all i need

I do not have a kensington, but, I do have car usb adapters coming which I am gonna include with all purchases of these. I also have a few more tricks up smilins sleeves, which should be here in a few weeks, which will BLOW you away:p

Goodluck
