XL Battery = PT?

[Birdy]

I love my VK Passthrough. I have manual VK batteries, and while they're fantastic, nothing rivals the hit, warmth and flavor of the PT.

I seem to remember there being a thread about the new XL batts having a similar hit and flavor level of the PTs- anybody finding that to be true?

 

[Tasselhoff]

Yes, I totally agree with you. I just recieved mine and think they are awesome.

 

[Taryn]

It is very close to me Birdy!

 

[BohNeR]

BUY IT!!!! I just got an XL 2 days ago and haven't touched my PT since

If the car adapter was in a little clear bag when you received it, it should be the right one. They are mis-marked as 200ma. How long ago did you get it?

OH yeah cant remember if came in clear bag,but I think it was unwrapped.

Did you order it from the "super sale" page? Those were the old ones. They've sent me 2 as freebies in my orders and both of them are the new ones.

If all else fails, your local Walgreens should have this one in stock:

E Tek Dual USB Car Charger | Walgreens

Although the website doesn't say, it is rated for 1000ma and works just fine.

Are you using manual or auto XL? Interested in getting one...

I'd like to know too.
I love the manuals but sometimes I actually get a better hit off the autos - because I can sort of wrap my finger around the battery carto connection. With the manual that's like playing finger twister .

So I'm thinking of getting the auto- opinions?

 

[Rockerella]

I haven't tried an auto XL, but the manual XL is close to a USB manual PT, but not quite there. I notice quite a bit of difference. I can't even use the auto shorties, even when covering up the "connection" - I have tmj and get wicked headaches because I "pull" too hard on the autos.

I'm still interested to know how the XL auto compares to the XL manual- and which one is most similar to the PT

opinions?
