I am probably putting this in the wrong section...mod move it if you must but I put it here in hopes of getting some answers.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a variable voltage passthrough? I know it could only go up to 5V but I generally vape at 4.5-4.8V. I'm sure I'm going to get the answer that I would have to build one myself (if possible) but I'm electronically handicapped when it comes to making one.:blink:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Get an eGo Booster - it's brand new and screws on to any eGo battery so if you have en eGo passthrough you're all set!

One of the tricks with this idea, is that there's a voltage drop across the circuit that adjusts the voltage. Probably more than the .2 volts that you are looking for on the top end.

IDK if they make VV mods with built-in chargers that charge via USB. Then it's kind of a VVPT. I know they do them commonly for 3.7 volts, but the combined batteries take some doing. So... They probably do, but it's not a PT in the true sense. I'd go looking for VV mods with USB chargers and don't get hung up on the passthrough terminology.

OTOH IDK what atty/carto you are using. If you're just after a cooler vape... go the other way and "simulate" 4.8 volts with a higher ohm atty/carto. If LR atty/carto can simulate HV, HR atty/carto can simulate LerV. As an example.....4.8 volts at 3.0 ohms is 7.68 watts. To get 7.68 watts at 5 volts you need 3.25 ohms. So maybe a different atty will get you closer. IDK all the atty types and combos tho, so it's just a thought. Of course, to change "voltages" (watts actually) you'd have to change atties.
