Hi, My son brought me a little present in hospital today. It's a passthrough that does away with the battery alltogether. It works OK but now for my question. It's variable voltage, 3, 3.6, 4.2 and 4.8 with the led flashing a different colour to show the different voltages. I have tried all of them and although there is slightly more vapour the higher the voltage there is no difference in TH or taste. I can live with it as it means not having to mess with batteries while in hospital but is there anything I'm missing? After all, there should be some difference, shouldn't there? Phil

it may be that whatever you're running it off can't supply enough current, what are you running it off?

it may be that whatever you're running it off can't supply enough current, what are you running it off? Plugged directly into the mains. Phil

If it's a power supply that can only supply 500mA then that's not enough power. Ideally you need something that can supply 2A.

Ideally you need something that can supply 2A. Hi It,s the passthrough that is plugged into the mains. It does say on the pack that it needs a 2A mains/usb adapter and that is what I'm using. Phil

Ok did you get any instructions? of On mine the light is blue when on maximum voltage.
