r3n3g4d3 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So i've been vaping for about 3 months now with no problems. Just recently i received a 510 USB passthru from cignot. The first few days all went well... but today i successfully burned up 2 atomizers and 1 cartomizer using the USB passthru. The reason i say burned up is because they actually caught on fire. I looked down into the atomzier and their were embers and smoke coming out from it. I read somewhere that the USB passthru puts out 5 volts. Do i need to purchase special high voltage atomizers for this to work without burning up all my accessories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellynn99 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Wow, thats crazy. Never heard of that happening. I have an EGo pass thru and no problems here. (Knocks on wood) I would see if you could return it to cignot or try looking at other vendors for a pass thru. They aren't supposed to do that!

Brian Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Is the button stuck? Is it staying activated when you're not pushing the button? You might want to shoot cignot an email. Edited January 12, 2011 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snubber Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Agree with Brian. Give them an e-mail. I'm sure they'll try and help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Are you using low res attys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbtheone Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Are you using low res attys? DO NOT USE LR ATTYS w/pass through if you are, your vaping like at 12-18volts, will taste like **** and burn out the attys quick sounds like your button shorted out and is stuck on?

DevilDucky Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) You're good with a standard atty you typically don't want to go low res on a higher volt pass through or most high volt mods as for the button it's probably a bad return spring in the button I would contact the supplier pretty much all them are pretty cool and will take care of you.

DevilDucky Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah that's no good I would contact the supplier ASAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Someone else had this issue once and it was their USB port. You may want to check out this thread: Shocking PT Seems to me that the PT is unregulated, meaning whatever voltage that goes into it is what voltage goes to the atty ( I could be wrong).
