Battery-less pass-through device for car from blackvancult?

[avpx1]

I came across the below pass-through device and I'm wondering if anyone has one?
I'm so sick of dealing with batteries and would really like a pass-through device that can handle sub ohm vaping.
I like that I can use it in the car.
If so, please share your experiences with it.

Thru the years many have wanted a direct wall blast hit, still a niche product.
Made in USA ++.
No reviews --.
I'd wait..

Many years ago a friend had one of those she could only use at the PC because it only had a USB cable and did not come with a wall wart. I have used my iStick TC40W plugged in so that when I left the office/car it had a full charge

So I emailed the manufacturer a few questions and haven't heard back yet. Guess I'll give em a few days and if still no reply then I forsee my interest disintegrating.
The idea is great in that I can save my batts while driving and have a fresh set for my destination.
Did some looking and didn't find any reviews.
daviedog's recommendation of waiting looks to be good advice.

I'll post more if I decide to get the device but it isn't looking promising.

I guess somebody had to do it.

Seems like quite a bit of gear to be tied to a wall.

Concept is solid.

Dunno about execution.

Update...
FYI, I vape at 80 watts.
So I've decided to give this setup a try and ordered the Variable Voltage Car Power Unit and Control Unit.
I was a little confused on what setup to get. The deluxe kit includes a power source but I've decided to build my own desktop vape station (Posted here: Help - DIY Regulated VV Desktop Vape Station - subohm) so I'm really only interested in a car setup.
They offer a standard starter kit that includes the power unit and a 5v fixed power supply but using an ohms law calculator it looks like it would max out at 75 watts. If anyone can confirm I'm right it would be much appreciated. So I used an ohms law calculator against the VV power unit and it looks like I can hit 120 watts so I went with that. It will most likely depend on the amps my car socket can provide and the fuse that is integrated with it.
I'll post more when I get it.
I hope it works for my intensions.
We will see.

Cigarette lighter socket should be well capable of sustaining 180 Watts or better. You should be fine.

Thanks that's good news!
Makes me wonder why this isn't a more popular setup. I guess most people don't want to be tied to a cord which I completely understand.

I like the idea of not having to encounter battery sag or dealing with batteries in the gray area where they aren't worn out yet but not holding their charge for very long either.

Many vehicles today have accessory power outlets that are not cigarette lighter sockets and have a higher amp fuse along with a dedicated circuit. I have 2 of them in my vehicle and I am able to power a 110 converter in it along with charging or powering another device at the same time.

"Flexable" ... Wrote "accept" when they meant "except." ... Text on their page is printed directly on top of other text on their page. If they can't even manage to present you with a proper website, what makes you think the product itself will be any better?

 

[SteveS45]

Most companies do not do their own Web Publishing and it is outsourced so I would not go by that alone.

 

[avpx1]

True on both accounts. If it were me I would be checking my site for errors, and web masters do make mistakes.
I'm already in for a unit so I'll report back on it's performance when I receive it. They emailed me to let me know it will not ship until 10\3.

This exercise is making me wonder if I could have just built a PWM box mod with a Potentiometer and hard-wired it to a 12v Car Outlet Adapter. I've built a few unregulated mods but building a PWM mod would be a new experience for me.

I had a pass through back when I vaped cartos and use those Ego Twist batteries. It was OK, but the batteries were far more convenient because I could get out of the car. That unit looks very inconvenient, to me, for even in car use. A "control unit" that appears to be about the size of one of the nano sized mods these days, and if you add their 5V power unit, you're bigger than a mod with a wire dangling in between, and all for about the price of 2 mods. Can't see doing that, myself, I'd rather just keep one mod on the charger while using the other.

The best mechanics and technicians I've known in my life could barely spell their own names.

Their minds work very well at what they do. Not so well at what else you'd like them to do to make them look smart.
