wireless charging pad for vaporsharks

[davie87]

Hi there I can't find any vendors with the wireless charging pad in stock. So I was wondering if I buy one off eBay which isn't of the vaporshark brand would it still work?

[Pepperty]

It does say that all QI systems would work with your new vaporshark, so logically you can use your own charging mat to recharge up your vaporshark, regardless of make or brand :DThe dna40 has a wireless card inside, I have a dna30 with an external card - I removed as it drove me mental!! you should be fine davie87

One thing:

Requires USB of 5 Volts and 1.5 Amp output.

So either a USB3 port, or a 1.5/2amp usb adapter required

[davie87]

So it won't work plugged into a usb plug socket ie. a phone charger plug?

Depends on phone charger, works fine on my old iPhone charger with 2.1amp output 

[Ripshod]

So long as it gets it's minimum 1.5amps it'll work just fine. Don't want you to be popping fuses on your computer's motherboard then blaming the pad for not working. Most usb2.0 sockets are fused at half an amp.

just checked my phone plug it's a 1.5 amp so I'm good to go,

I recently bought an Anker 5 port high speed 'intelligent' desktop charger ..because i need all the help I can get XMSDEALB code got me £4 off

It works out what power each device needs, saves me panicking and now I can charge my phone/kindle/tablet/e-cig and have charger base connected safely

Oh I like the look of that, ordered. Thanks Pepperty

These 'smart' charging devices ain't smart enough. They identify a device by communicating over the USB, so it's all fine and dandy for iPhones and Android devices and such. The problem is there is nothing to communicate on USB charged ecigs and ego chargers, so it'll just max the port you're connected to. That's a potential 8Amp output Pepperty - I wouldn't recommend these for e-cig use.
