I see a vendor that sells a decently priced USB pass through (11.99). They also sell a USB charger plug that plugs into a cig lighter.
Maybe a stupid question: would a USB pass through work with the USB car charger plug?
The USB car charger plug has no cable, just a female USB outlet.
The USB pass through has the standard male USB plug.
So I wondered if I could use the USB car charger plug with the pass through to vape in the car as well as while at the computer.

Anyone know if this car charger will work? I got it at Walmart and says it will work with anything that has its own usb cord.

Thanks!

I don't see why it wouldn't work, Bageone. I know next to nothing about electronics, but why would this one be $35 and Madvapes car charger to USB adapter is $2.50? (I just got one from MV). There must be some kind of difference?

Yes a Usb pass through does work with the USB car charger plug. I do it all the time, as long as the car charger is at least 1.5 amps you are fine.

My USB pass-thru doesn't work with the car charger OR with my husband's USB port in his truck. It claims it is USB Car Plug 5V 2A (pass-thru Ready)? I can charge a battery, but not vape. :*(
