life of a pass through

[daydreamer]

Hi, got a pass through about 2-3 weeks ago for my 901. I was thrilled to bits with it . Now it seems to have died on me. I thought it would have lasted longer than that. Have I done something wrong.

PS well done to all those who have just started vaping.

Sue, what type of passthrough & where did you buy it from?

[Scylla]

The ones that look like "ordinary" 901s with cable coming out of the LED end are dreadfully unreliable. I had 2, one was DOA and the other lasted about a week

Was yours like these? ...

The Dibley PT is quite another matter (although my button failed after a 2-3 months - yes, Chrissie, I know, but you know what I'm like - I've still got the unused Little Gem here )

If yours was a Dibley passthru from Liberty Flights you have a cast-iron warranty, don't worry!

Hi Scylla,sorry been out all evening and have just come in .Its an ordinary 901 like the picture from oksmokey. I bought mine from Simon e-cigs uk. If they only last 3 weeks,I might as well use ordinary batties. I was really pleased with it as well. sitting on the putor,vaping away,not a care in the world. Back down to earth with a bang.
Has everything got a shorter life span now ? May-June 09 I bought two starter sets 901`s and two extra atties. When some sellers were getting rid of their stock before the ebay ban. I`am still using two of those atties. I was still using one my original batteries until about a month ago.

Sue, I'm fairly certain Simon's passthrough's come with a 30 day warranty, so would be well worth contacting him.

Got to admit that I think that atties have a far shorter life span than they used to have.

Agrees with Scylla, the Garry Dibbley passthrough is far superior & comes with a 12 month warranty : -

They are out of stock of the ones with a 901 adapter though at the moment.

Thanks Chrissie, have just emailed Simon for advice. I know nothing about passthrough`s, so what is the Gary Dibbley ? is that the suppliers name or the passthrough`s. [Is that one of those daft Q]
Considering how long I have been vaping,15 months now,I still don`t seem to know a lot. I have stuck with the 103 and 901 . Thats me all over. Just merrily cruise along until I hit a problem. Sue

No such animal as daft questions, Sue

Garry Dibley is a one-man band who was making mods out of torches and e-cig spare parts, but now he's using Liberty Flights to retail his wares.

His passthru is bigger and stronger and works @ 5v with the right USB hub, though you can happily use it plugged directly into your PC. It looks nothing like a trad e-cig.

And... didn't you do well, all on your own!!!

I`m still smoking analogues Scylla. Gone back to about 10 a day. Still used to smoke 20. I have`nt smoked indoors for that fifteen months though. That makes a big difference.
It has`nt been all on my own really.I had a lot of help from this forum to start with and I still read the boards a lot. I just don`t post very often. I don`t know enough to help other people out. Nice to speak to you again Scylla and Chrissie.
Sue
PS Back to the garden. Trimming lots of hedges. Phew its hot.

[daydreamer]

Did I say 20 a day,I wish. It was 40

[Scylla]

Well then, it's an even greater reduction you've achieved

scylla

[Chrissie]

Agrees with Scylla - well done Sue

Scylla, Sue was also a member of our eBay group, but as her eBay id is very different, you probably don't recognise her

[daydreamer]

Scylla, I can`t fool Chrissie. I used my husbands ID before, frank. I always signed off with Sue though. I `am definitely not a man,so when we moved over here, I chose my new ID. Me to a T.

no matter how you try to hide chrissie will search you out hehe

How frustrating! Thought the whole point of a passthrough, even the basic ones, was that there wasn't much to go wrong ???
Wonder why it just 'died'
