Holiday charging help

[striker42]

Off on holiday at start of July. As elecktrickery, batteries and charging are not my strong point of knowledge, thought I would ask here. To prevent carrying a multitude of mains usb plugs I'm considering buying this. Would this be safe to use for mods, phones, tablets and whatever else, or is there a better option available ? TIA.

I used something similar when i went to Ecuador - looks a tad better than the one i got from FT though.
Should be Fine - though sure someone with a better tech head will reply soon enough

I use one of those all the time for phones, tablets and my mods, works a treat

I can't remember last time a charged batts in a dedicated charger, even for my Provari I charge in the Evic mini then swap over.

Thanks digicig, my understanding is it has 2 ports that charge at 2.4A and three that charge at 1A. It should be fine as long as the evic or whatever ain't plugged in to any of the 2.4A ports. Just trying to make sure my understanding is correct before I purchase it. Maybe VapingBad could confirm yea or nae.

You can plug your Evic into any of the ports, it will only take what it needs, mine only uses about 0.75 A when plugged into a 2.4 A supply.  The same goes for all decent USB powered devices they just take what the need, the supply just limits the max.
