A standard 3.4ohm 901 might just work on that USB plug, but it's not recommended.

Many thanks Chrissie and Lynda for taking the time to help me.
I'm afraid I seem a bit of a numpty but being a pensioner I can't afford to make mistakes.
I've ordered my new atties and thanks to your tips I hope that my desktop doesn't blow up before I get the USB thingy from ebay that Chrissie recommended!
Cheers Liz

Lisa Thank you for that advice I'd originally asked for help with which adapter to buy as I don't understand the mah thingy :-[ (Hence flippant comment - don't want to blow my head off ) Basically I have a 510 passthrough with inline battery AND a 901 passthrough with no battery (this is my fave ) As I sit right next to a power point, ALL I wanted to buy was a suitable adapter ? transformer ? to plug my passthrough into I didn't really fancy yet another cable with lots of usb ports on the end of it. I looked on e bay, & there are so many different adapters, that would take the usb fittings on the passthroughs, that I didn't have a clue which to buy ??? Hence my still continuing dilemma. It's one thing to connect a charger to an adapter, but a little different when you're vaping direct from it. You need to be sure. I'd really appreciate your opinion on which to buy please. Sorry if this is a really dense question.

Lolli as far as I am aware these plugs are designed to power usb devices so I cannot see you blowing anything off James BUT what do I know James ??? ???

The ones that look like ordinary plugs with a female USB socket in them are usually the ones that are only designed to charge batteries, not to actually vape on. This is a common mis-conception and why I haven't even listed the ones that I have for sale.
You probably can run a standard 901 perfectly well off one of these, also, you can probably run a Joye 510 passthrough (the ones with the inline battery) off one of these also.
What you should not do, is run a Joye 510 through a passthrough with no inline battery on one of these plugs. Other manufacturer's 510s may be OK, depending on the resistance.
If you really want to use some of the lower resistance atomisers (such as standard Joye) on a 3-pin USB plug, then you need to ensure it says that it has at least a 1000mAh output.
If you want to run a Low resistance atomiser off a passthrough, then you need something in the region of 2000mAh.
Occassionally, you will find 1000mAh plugs, but I haven't found a genuine 2000mAh one yet (although there are several that claim to be, but that aren't).

It's not about the passthrough used (well, it is if it's got an in-line battery). It's more about the atomiser used and how much current it draws.
Bottom line, those 3-pin plugs aren't made for passthroughs, they are made to charge batteries and it's due to this potential for misuse that I am reluctant to even put them into stock.

One thing I forgot to say is if you do find a plug with a much greater output, it's probably wise to NOT use a passthrough with an inline battery such as the Joye510 one.

This is my experience within the past 5 minutes:
Vaping Garry Dibley no-inline-battery passthru. Topped up cart, vaped with eBay 7-port USB hub, swapped to e-cigs.co.uk (Simon) white plug/USB adapter and back again a couple of times.
There is almost no difference in the quality of the vape. I could say that there is actually NO difference ???
The white adapter is no longer available, been replaced by the one I pointed to above. Might it be worth writing or phoning Simon to ask about any difference between the two adapters?
I've got up my original order from Simon's site but it only says "white USB adapter", there are no details re mAh etc.

I've got no experience of the white adapator Scylla so can't be very helpful sadly.
Am using my Garry with the USB arrangement that Chris suggested and have been delighted with it, once I got the correct atomiser in it, which was a doh me moment.
Takes a little time, for me anyway to get to grips with the finer 'technical' vaping details.
I have for instance just realised this week that a LR atty is designed to produce a 6v vaping experience with a smaller battery.
Pretty obvious really, but I can be horribly dense at times!

I think it's 5v - which is a "comfortable" vape. Quite a few people find 6v a bit OTT. Chrissie will know. scylla

Perpy, you aren't being at all dense. Prior to buying my first big battery mod - I didn't know a thing about mAh's, different v's resistance etc.
I would actually say the LR atties produce more like a 5v experience with a 3.7v battery. However, don't forget, they won't really work unless the 3.7v battery is over 420 mah.
