I will definitely be getting a Reo soon and become a professional Vaper like Jo. Perhaps not the Grand as it looks too big. The mini will do for me.
My wife loves her Leo with atty 3 ohm. I vape my Leo atty for 3 days and it stops the TH. She just carries on for MONTHS with her only atty. I tried her's and my 510 DC 1.5 ohm Carto alternately today and both are exactly the same.Same amount of vapour and TH.
I must add to my previous post about my new 510 Carto that it seems to work better after some use. I am now happy with it but will change to the 306 as soon as I can find a driptip locally for it.

I got a VV PT from HC about 3 weeks ago, but the thing was DOA. I informed them about it, and they immediatly took care of it and posted another one for me...... wich is still not here.....with the other goodies that I ordered with it.....cause its one packadge.....cant waste space was my thoughts....

Any ways....today it got quieter around here, and I thought to go outside and open the PT up.....maybe I can fix it.... and I did, it was only a thin litle wire that had shorted against the body of the PT.....

Vaping it.... what a pleasure to be able to vape at 4.2V and 4.7 V with a dual coil Tank....plumes of vaper....and alot more taste...... I can recomend it as a first VV device and its realy cheap.

Ps... the VV PT can be adjusted to 3.2V, 3.7V, 4.2V and 4.7 V....just for intresting sakes.

Now I'm confused. You downgraded from a Reo back to the normal thick stik and at 650mah or 900mah bats variable voltage.
4.7 volts at 650mah and DC at 1.5 ohm will give you 4 hrs vaping max.
Health Cabin has no more 900mah Bats left.
I still think the Reo is the tops at this stage price wise.

Oh, I see you were just recommending it. Sorry.

Hey Johnny... its just a pass through..... it has got no batt's, and its VV, thus I can only use it at computers USB port. The nice thing about it was the price, I think it was $14.... or something like that, I thought of it as a nice way to see what the hipe is about VV devices.

I think your power source needs to be rated to handle just over 3 amps if you're running a 1.5 ohm dc at 4.7 volts. I'm no expert on pcs but I'm almost positive that the usb ports can't handle more than an amp max. I wouldn't risk trying to draw over 3 amps from it. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

It is 500ma per port on USB2 and 900ma on USB3. So if I=V/R
Amps= 4.7/1.5
= 3.13 amps

You will need 6 USB2 ports to use it if you can find a 6 to 1 cable and if your computer can handle 3 amps.
I did try to charge my 3.7v bat once on my computer and it did not charge although the USB voltage is correct at 5v. Luckily I did not blow something. There must be a protection circuit for over current in the computer.

Hi Johnny, I realy dont know much about electronics....seems that you do know more than me. BUt I have seen People make DIY 5V PT's here on ECF and then here is a link to my PT 510/eGo (3.2V/ 3.7V/ 4.2V/4.7V) Variable Passthrough V2 - $11.90 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail--

I do own a multimeter but never had the guts to try and test the V on my VV PT, becuase there are realy not much space inside the 510 conecter, and dont want to blow something on my laptop if there is a short somewhere while I fire the PT.

Jo, I was a Industrial Electronic Techie on the Cement factories there by you and at SASOL.
I really can't see those things working at full capacity. And most certainly not with a 1.5ohm coil. Even the bat chargers are 500ma max (the 3 that I have) and you need 3.3amps. Ask the guys at HealthCabin about this. I can't fathom how they can say on their website that it works on a computer port only.
Also, I can't find an email address for them as I want to challenge them on this.
There are USB amplifiers available but I am not sure if they amplify voltage or current. So in the mean time rather don't use them as you could blow your computer or at best a fuse.

# On the power wires, the computer can supply up to 500 milliamps of power at 5 volts. A USB 3.0 cable can supply up to 900 milliamps of power.
# Low-power devices (such as mice) can draw their power directly from the bus. High-power devices (such as printers) have their own power supplies and draw minimal power from the bus. Hubs can have their own power supplies to provide power to devices connected to the hub.
Copied and pasted from "Computers, How they Work"
So you will need a USB Hub that is amplified by a separate cable to the mains. So far, I can't find one.
The only one I can find is a 5v 7 port USB Hub at 500ma per port. So you get 3.5 amps if you can find a 7 to 1 cable connector.
I would really like to challenge HCabin on this.
