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.

Mines for iPad / iPhone but hopefully for VS wireless charger too, any issues with that Ripshod ?

If a device can communicate with the 'intelligent' multiport adapter then yeah, all fine and dandy. But usb charging leads are generally just 2 wires, so no communication. Newer 'updatable' MODs do have these communication wires in the lead, but then you're relying on the adapter's ROM containing the info for your device. Frankly, with the newness of all this tech we're getting now I can't see it Greg

I'd have thought charging current would be limited by the Vapourshark charging board Ripshod and given its wireless not capable of supplying 8 amps.

its by my chair so I'll give a whirl when I'm watching it.

It'll work. It'll look like it's working just fine. A meter may only show a draw od 1.5Amps. But, if something goes wrong (say, a short)in the pad there's the potential for the maximum current to be delivered. In the case of Pep's 'intelligent' multiport that's 8Amps. That current flowing through wires and PCB tracks designed for a max1.5Amps is going to do some damage.

You won't know there's a problem, til it happens.

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

I have something similar, the 6 port Olixar much more expensive but I got £15 off bringing it down to £24.99

When I had my vapor shark wireless charger it didn't like 1amp, it just beeped all the time. Didn't have a 1.5amp wall socket so I used a 2amp, that was fine and so was a USB2 on my PC......I know I go sit on the naughty step now......

I would be tempted by toms ebay link if/when I get another, the vapor shark one was too small, bit of a balancing act when the atty was attached and greatly overpriced for the tech, like the rest of their gear.......



I'll go hide now..!

Just as an update, this has been working perfectly every night

That's good to know, I just order 3 on the strength of this

Going to take a chance on the 1a output, DNAs are specified to be charged at 500ma and I'm not sure what the QI bases that vaporshark supplies are rated at ???

Scratch that last bit - I found it


Requires USB of 5 Volts and 1.5 Amp output.
1000 mAh Charging Circuit
Wireless Charging Card Sold Separately
Compatible with any Qi Wireless Charging Receiver

3!!?

lol

The only thing I will say is they are a bit big, you have the put the shark in just the right place but its easy to do and easy to see when you've done it

The vapor shark had to be in the right place also, except as it was smaller if you had a large filled atty on that place ment it wanted to fall over. These being bigger are prob better.. and 3no  = same price.

Do you find that they get quite hot when charging though
