ok, I prolly have this post in the wrong part of the forums...but if i do oops...sorry...dont beet me too much...but I need a bandaid charger till the one i ordered shows up sometime next weak...i currently use an itaste vv and it has a little pinhole type charging port...I can't seem to find any specs on the actual power/charging requirements for this batt and before i just start plugging things into it and hopping for the best I was hoping someone might know what I could use to charge this thing till something more official....any help would be greatly apreaciated....I'm not without an ecig if this thing completely dies I got a wired passthrough and a little 510 batt to get me through till the charger gets here....but I like my itaste and dont wana go without it if I can help it...

Its Innokin-which means that probably nothing else will charge it but an Innokin charger-I could be wrong...but it seems thats the deal with those-hey, doesnt that have a passthru option?

Goaro,you should find a label on the dead charger that gives input and output specifications(its required to get UL rating) Radioshack may have charger that is compatable with the connector and those specs.(Adaptors may be available for your application.) Also check any old cellphone or audio system charger like a Walkman Also try Walmart electronics section. The output of the iTaste charger should be something on the order of 400mA@4.2v

Goaro

checked the broken charger...no writing one asides from an itaste label....i even pealed that off to see if the specs were hidden under it...nothin....yeah it has a passthrough option...thats actually the only way ta charge it though the bottom of the batt...

GAReed

Maybe like this?

5v 500mA. I think, I read somewhere the 'plug' is the same as Nokia used, but on that I could be wrong.

berger

whats wrong with using the pass through charger portion? thats going to be just as fast as the other port would be I would imagine..whats the difference?

GAReed

A-yup. Maybe, the iTaste can use >500mAh, say 1000mAH or.. iPhone/iPad like... but the supplied wall-thingy just does, says it does, 5V, 500mAH... I'd not stress that, but ask Innokin or supplier, or take necessary precautions... be cool

Goaro

the passthrough port and the regular charge port are one in the same unfortunately...the charger is flimsy they could use a better design for that part of the device...I keap this one not for the charging portion of it though the passthrough option is nice but more for the flexability of it, i have a bad habbit of running low on my 510 carto's and no place sells parts around here except for 4018, and 808's....with the adapters i can vape on any of those cartos with ease...i also really like the variable voltage with .1 volt incriments goin from 3.3 up to 5.0 for me i vape at around 4.0 to 4.3 depending on the carto/liquid i'm using at that time...i started this thread hoping that there was an alternative charger I could use while I waited for the "genuine" one ta arrive via mail...i got a regular wire passthrough and a couple little 510 batts for while I'm at work so I'm not without vape....i just liked my big batt with all the fancy options...though it sounds like that nokia charger might be what I'm looking for so I'll swing by radio shack and look at the chargers they got there...if the output mah seems a bit too high or the voltage seems a bit much I wont try it and just wait...

Goaro

oh and for those who dont like block posts...sorry I got kicked outah my english classes and really truely suck at spelling and paragraph formation....punctuation isn't my strongest point either I like the three dots to define a different thought or tangent

Just curious,your a guy aren't you?
Got your iTaste,opened the box next threw the user guide in the trash. That probably had the charger specs in it.
That's how I would have done it

berger

I usually put the user guide (unlooked at of course) back in the box to set it aside for a few years before I throw it away later.. If there's no field wiring involved why the hell would you ever look at it??

I've got a power strip charging station on my back porch with 3-420mA,1-150mA,2-trustfireT001 and a DungChowThing 3V charger group set up, might need to know what to plug the batt into.

Steampunk

Um, so you don't burn out a switch or fry a battery....?

Seems to me I remember someone putting a 2 ohm Boge on a Persei with 7.4V. It says right on the little chart NO!

berger

wasnt me..I stuck a 1.5 DCC on it that way...and have no idea what the chart says

Steampunk

You didn't fry it?

I got three REALLY GOOD hits off the Boge...and that was it!

gwp

Chart?

Steampunk

Oooookayyyyyyy.....

Goaro

....paperwork?.....yeah I think that came with it but i can't be sure....

40bikes

I used to keep the manuals and throw away the equipment so I'm doing much better.

Steampunk

That happens a lot here..."What's that booklet for? It's been gone for 7 years..."

Goaro

ok for any with an itaste vv the nokia charger works perfectly for it... 5v 350mah output....it'll take a little longer to charge than the 420mah output but its alot better quality than the little retractable usb charger that comes with it....the connector also fits alot nicer and more snugly...having it work better as a passthrough

skwerrel

would this work? It has a round end like a nokia charger???

Skwerrel, I think that only puts out 12v and is intended for car use of a/c chargers that also have a 12v input. The iTaste needs 5v or 4.2v

Steampunk

EGADS, NO!!!!!!!!

That is a 12V cable, actually for radar detectors, that plugs into the stock Joye charger for 510s and puts out a full 12V! Don't plug this into ANYTHING but a Joye charger, a radar detector, or an Atty Smasher!

There's a very old saying among IT folk- RTFM!!
