I looked at madvapes but they are out of stock. Does anyone else carry them for $15?
Does MadVapes ship internationally? I'd love to try the 5V USB passthrough!
You hit the nail on the head. Calling a connector with a cable a 5V PT is silly at best and a lie at worst. The CigTech PT is a good device, priced right, with a sturdy cord and is correctly labeled at a 510 PT, not 5V PT.Cigtechs has the 510 passthrough w/o inline battery. Does that mean it'll operate at 5v?

Using such a device the voltage will be determined by the current available and the resistance of the atty being used. With a Joye atty you'll need about 2.3A (2300mA) to get 5V. The cheaper clones, like the SLB/DSE/L2 types will need about 1.6A. Many folks recommend a powered USB hub. Make sure such a hub has at least a 2A power supply. If you look around you can find 5V 2000mA USB ac adapters. Those will power a Joye atty at about 4.4V.
As a side note I see that folks are calling the Joye PT with battery a 3.7V device. It is not. Under load it's at about 3.2V.
Would there be a significant benefit or downside to using my Joye 510 USB Passthrough with a 5V 2000mA USB ac adapter that you mentioned in the above post?
