Where can I get an Auto Charger ???

[JoAnna1010]

Does anyone know where I can get an auto charger that allows a USB charger to be plugged into it.

I am using Red Dragon and Zeus ecigs. Both come with USB chargers that plub into a computer or a wall outlet converter device.....But I would like to have a charger in the car.

Thanks

Amazon has a good amount of them ... However, there are some good and bad ones ...

Most normally use them for PT's (the higher the mAh, the better), so I'm not entirely sure whether the charger will need more than .5A to run it ...

Walmart, IPod section. It is a cigarette lighter to usb adaptor. I got one last week made by Griffin, and it is rated at 2 amps, and has two usb ports. each port lights up when it is being used. I use it with a passthrough.

I'll have to check that out. 2 amps - Sounds to me, like 1 amp per outlet. You can vape with the passthrough while charging a battery. Cool.

I use this Universal USB Power Car Adapter (1000mA) from DealExtreme:

DealExtreme: $2.58 Universal USB Power Car Adapter (1000mA)

It works both ways - as a charger and with my USB PathThrough for M402.

If you want to pay just $2.58 and can wait like 7-9 days before it arrives then go for it.
I love it!

Explain how you are charging your batteries with the usp port? Is it with a specific model?

M402 comes with the AC wall adapter/USB charger and I am using this detachable USB cord three ways:
1. With AC wall adapter
2. With my computer USB port
3. With car USB adapter/charger

Hope this help

It says 2 amp max on the little paper that is inside the packaging. There is nothing on the package that tell you this until you open it up.
here is a link to it. Walmart.com: Griffin PowerJolt Redesign Car Charger for iPod, Black: Audio

edit: Note, it does not come with any cables as depicted in the pics, it is just the adaptor

I don't understand this Amp business.
I think my car's cigarette plug in is 1.5 but I'm not sure.
I hadn't even thought about the possibility that the adapter might come in different Amp strength. Electricity scares the heck out of me.

Thanks for the info it looks like it might work. I wish it was black....and someone has raised an issue about "Amp" power. I will have to investigate this because I don't know anything about Amps or electricity !!!

Hate to sound dumb....but what is a "PT" and what is this 5 amp business??
I just want to put it in my car cigarette lighter place or the other place where I plug in my cell phone. Do you think it will work ???

A PT is a passthrough, a device that you can connect your atty to and then run it off a USB 2.0 port. If your Passthrough is direct, in other words does not have an inline battery, then whether the passthrough will work or not depends on the amount of current it can draw. A port or adaptor that only supplies 500 milliamps may be suffice to power a passthrough with an inline battery, which will only give you 3.7 volts, the same as you would get from a standard E-cig battery. But, if it is a direct passthrough/ no inline battery, it will run off USB direct 5 volts. Giving you improved performance.

Edit: The one I listed above from Walmart is black. You can plug your USB charger into to this and charge it from your cars cigarette lighter. Hope this answers your questions.-- Nic.
