cr2coolv7 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 My order was one 5v passthrough(referenced as pt from here on out), a five package of soft tip 510 cartomizers and the Car to Usb 5v 2amp adapter. I placed my order very early on a Tuesday and revieved it on the Thursday immediately following. I ordered the pt in silver or stainless steel color. It is a simple 15 dollar pt that was converted from a battery. It has an Orange led that works great and a black button. I haven't had a chance to test it but with the car adapter it hits much harder than my tornado with an lr atty. I mean quite a bit harder. The place the cord runs in the bottom isn't protected by any sort or rubber but I have been using it everyday for several weeks and the cord is as nice and tight as the day I got it. For the price it really can't be beat. On my laptop it hits about as hard with the cartos as my tornado with an lr atty. I use this thing everywhere. It has about a three foot or so cord with is plenty of room everywhere I use it. The button has a nice click feel to it. Not too sure of the technical name for click feel haha. Overall it is a great introduction for those wanting to try higher voltage without a higher price tag. I can easily recommend this unit to anyone and I have to several of my friends. Next up are the 510 soft tip cartos. The end of these has a rubber plug that makes refills a breeze. I for one remove the tip and use my drip tip on the end so I can keep the cartos wet with the passthrough. They are wrapped in black plastic(?) Or something like that which I peeled off to reveal the silver metal finish underneath. I have been using the same carto for several weeks with great vapor and throat hit performance. They also work great on my tornado with the drip tip attached as they are kind short for that device. I mentioned I purchased the 5v 2amp usb car adapter to use with my passthrough. I assumed for ten bones it was going to be not all to great quality. I was wrong. It feels very solid and well made. This thing feels like it is going to last a few years. I have received worse adapters that were three times as much for phones and such. I feel pretty lame that rhymes. Oh well. Last up is the service. Two day shipping is awesome. Another thing I did that I like to do with a new supplier is send a thank you e mail. Jason responded in like an hour. Just fantastic service. I would have no reservations about doing business with Jason at ElectronicStix.com and I guess others feel the same because they have a great reputation on all forums. So yeah I have a 5v setup with cartos and a car adapter for less than forty bucks. I will be using ElectronicStix for many more purchases. I could not be happier. P.s. typed on a phone, don't hate.

Schizophretard Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have a similar passthrough(maybe the same one) and I agree that it is a great introduction for those wanting to try higher voltage without a higher price tag. I bought my first 510 from Jason. I was very satisfied with the product and excellent customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr2coolv7 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Yeah from what I have seen it is a pretty common style unit. One reason I would say go with ElectronicStix is that he offers some pretty swell color options including a metallic burnt Orange looking color and a metallic green as well. If mine craps out sometime in the future it will be replaced by that fantastic Orange colored one. Hell for the price I may get one for every usb adapter I have access to. I can just imagine them everywhere. One for Verizon store when I have phone issues, maybe one or two hidden in best buy for those black Friday lines. Mmm. Vapor. Maybe one at the license office for those wicked plate renewal lines. One can only dream. Hmm. Maybe one there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haft2doit Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I bought one of these from electronicstix 3 months ago to get away from weak standard 510 batteries that left me high and dry while at the bar when I would vape like no tomorrow, I used it with a wall adapter and it was my on the go vape as well coupled with a usb power pack. Must say it has much more than paid for itself at $15. Within the first few weeks the plastic led cover fell off requiring glue. It fell off again and I didn't bother doing anything. I would just push it back on when it fell off. Near exactly on the 3 month mark the connection from the wire to board is going. If the wire is moved much it will disconnect and reconnect doing the blink 5 times deal and then will work again. Luckily I put in an order for a joker av the day this started. When it is plugged into the wall adapter it has great performance. On the battery or computer usb there is a noticeable drop in throat hit and vapor. It has served me well but I think it has come time to retire it. Just though I would let you know how the unit holds up after being used every day all day for 3 months as my main pv.
