Wall wart power supply for passthrough?

[kylecoberly]

SO! I tried out a couple of the suggestions from forum members- the LR Atty for my 901 was great for half an hour, and then annihilated the battery (it won't turn off now). I knew that was a risk going into it, and it was worth a shot, but that's a bit of a non-starter.

I also got a passthrough, but I was warned about plugging them into computer USB ports (and with the good cause- the E/(I x R) backs it up). So, I'm guessing that I should probably have a USB port that can kick out at least 2000mA, and while I found a car adapter that will do that, I've been unsuccessful at finding a wall power adapter that will do it. Suggestions?

EDIT: So much the better if it's something readily available- like, I don't know, an iPhone charger or something that can be picked up anywhere.

RW (hubby) used connectors from batteries and made three mods that are powered by Wall Warts. I have had little trouble with them so never had to think about going the Pass Through route.
Sorry about the bad luck.

You need to look at something like these:

Think I found a solution- just walked over to Best Buy, and they had aftermarket (Griffin) iPad charger. One USB port, 2.1A. Downside was it was like $30, but at this point I'm willing to pay whatever to stop F*c%ing smoking.

So now that I'm able to enjoy some 5V vaping- WOOF, that's an ...-kicker. Believe the hype! I've got some higher nicotine solution coming today or tomorrow (48mg tobacco and 36mg Geoff's Blend from Tasty Vapor). Hopefully some combination of all of this will be enough to kick analogs!!

Glad you found a fix & best of luck to you.

All iPad chargers are supposed to be 2.1amp. If buying over the internet, just make sure it's not a 1,000amp or less one that was for an iPhone, iPod etc. and they just added iPad to the description.
