Anyone used or can comment on the above, is it safe etc. I spend 10hrs aday at my CAD computer so would save me charging batteries all the time, I just leave it on my desk with some jiuce in my pro tank. Going through 7ml of juice aday so always charging something.

You mean a USB pass through? Or the one which has no battery just plugs in to USB?

I know it's quite a bit more money, but what about an eleaf istick? Nice and small and VW up to 20W. Can be used as a passthrough, so could just plug it into your USB port and carry on vaping, but not tied to your laptop all the time and battery life lasts well over a day.

I used one of these (it was about £6 from Vapingthings) for about 90% of my vaping when I started. It gave up the ghost after 3 months. Did what it said on the can with no problems.

Edit my policy is to buy from FT if what I'm after is on ebay or Amazon. FT is usually the same or better.

I use one of those all the time at the lappie, to save my other batts for when I go out. They work well for what they are.
I have my Vaporshark & one of those on the go right now. lol

That's it a "USB pass through" if I'm spending half my life next to a usb then why waste batteries for now about £3.... Going through 2no. 2200mah aday at the moment.

Got a VTR, cool fire and spinner, none have pass through but have ordered an MVP 2 from fasttech which has pass through. Is it ok to use the passthrough all day or am I better letting a £3 device do the work/blow up first....!

I like the Ego VV2 Mega pass through..i got 2 and had them a year now with no problems at all..the battery will last a day at least as well.
I deal for work.

I have two of the said items which I bought from vapingthings, had them now about 18months and they still work, but I use my itaste vv3 at the computer all the time now with no problems.

An itaste VV3 is probably the best pass through device I've had - slimline and any size of micro USB lead will work so you don't have to be too hunched up next to the lappy's USB port

I used one of these for months, then it gave up the ghost. I have a replacement on the way from FT. I love not having to charge my batteries except for going out. Definitely a good buy.

Just check that your usb is putting out 2 amps, I use mine from a powered usb hub, as I fear damage to the computers main power circuit [it's a bit old].

2 amps from a usb port

standard USB and USB2 deliver 0.5Amp current... they're not iphone chargers

My mvp2 will go happily all day connected to usb port on pc.

My bad. Tiredness made me mix up usb2 and 2 amp.

My concern would still make me advise using a powered usb hub.

usb 3 is 2 amp i thinks

i think standards are:
usb 2.0 = 500ma
usb 3.0 = 900ma

but usb ports on pcs/laptops are rated to 1.5amp, and some laptops have 'fast charging ports' on them nowadays
