Will VV AC/DC adapter works with USB passtrough?

[Andyhrn]

There are some AC/DC adapters/chargers with VV from 1.5-9.0V (for cameras etc.) and 1200-2000mHA. I saw them in FRY's,RSh,WalMart and BestBuy. Will they work with usb passtrough? May be someone has tried this before?

The only adapters like you describe that I've seen are quite a bit more expensive than the single output variety. But, I haven't tried one for using with a PT.

They cost about 12-30$. WalMart has "Powerline" for 19$ Fry's has them starting from 12$ and up. BestBuy 29.99$ but it has many others VV gradations (like 4.2V per example).

I plug my pt in frequently, when I watch tv and am away from my computer. I haven't had any problems. I use a regular ego 650 mah pt with the power supply adapter (usb plug) that came with my first 510 kit. It's output is 5 volts and is 50/60 hertz. I also have used the usb plug that came with my cell phone and it has the same ratings. I am not an electricity expert but I haven't electrocuted myself yet. With higher voltages I'm sure you'll need a better usb plug but you should be able to plug you pt into a socket no problem. This is just my opinion though.

looks good to me at least the rhinos from frys....might be better to make a VV mod that uses them as a power source...that would give you a more flexible range...

This's for usb PT. Sometimes I need to low voltage for cartomazers and atomizers (from 5+V to 4-4.5V).
I don't like "crack pipes/boxes" modes, btw.
Thanks to all for the responses.

I have a few plug in and car usb adapters for phones and have been using all of them on the same pt for over 6 mo

You should be fine with the multi voltage adapters as long as they are rated for high enough amps. Usually they are rated at higher amps at lower voltage. I wouldn't get anything rated below 2000mA or 2 amps.

What I did is take one of my old 12V 1.5A router power supplies and wired it to an auxiliary automotive 12V power outlet that I picked up from wally world. This allows me to use my 2A cig lighter adapter in the house, or any other 12V auto accessory.

I am going to make a second one of these so I can mount one directly to my desk and have another one up by the recliner.

I can get away with the 1.5A because we are stepping down the voltage from 12V to 5V giving us more available amps.
