will my USB passthrough fry my atty?

[ShMiGgY]

How many of you guys have lost an atty that you thought was due to a passthrough? This is for a RN4081 passthrough.

I just placed a new cart in mine, and as soon as i did the light came on and i got a sizzle sound out of it. My lips were nowhere near it..

A bit worried that it's heating up without my help and that it'll kill my precious vapor device.

Attys make sizzling sounds all the time. That is normal. It has nothing to do with your passthrough.

hope so, it never did that with the battery on it. It basically heated up, light came on without me being anywhere near it.

Mine started doing that too when the connection inside started to get loose. That's a sign the passthrough is starting to fail. Most of them arn't made very well. If it happens to get stuck on like that while you arn't around it will eventually burn out the atomizer.

great, i just got it today... QC is sorely lacking in these things apparently... It seems okay for the most part. I might not leave it plugged in much.

I've been looking for a good price for a pass-through setup for my M402, can anyone please send me a private message or post a link to a site where I could get a cheap price for one. Thanks.

This is why I'm so excited about Puresmoker's new passthrough. It's going to be a quality product!

My std. passthrough got so bad I had to quit using it for this same reason.

You might try cleaning all the connections on the passthrough and atty., then blowing into the passthrough. This will sometimes un-stick the switch. I think liquid gets in there and that's what causes it to stick. (I also drain my batteries and passthroughs to help get any liquid out of them too.)

I do suggest you not leave it connected when you're not watching it.

Hubby has gone through 4 pass-throughs and only lost one or is it two attys. I'm getting ready to take apart one of the p-t's to see if I can install a manual switch or clean the auto. If able to clean it, I'll post the results. If I install a manual switch, I'll be working off someone else's mod. Too bad I can't remember his name. Oh well, it's on my screen print at home, so I can thank him later.

I have not lost any more attys with my pass through than with the batterys. Atty's just do what they do. I really think they may last a little longer on the pass through.
