Who needs pass through when you have 20 seshes a battery ...
If by 'pass through' you mean 'use while charging' I agree. There is no need for that and advantage (in terms of battery life) to not doing so I guess? Sessions per charge shouldn't change that idea, though, just 'plan ahead'.
If, OTOH, you can have 'true PA' like we used to you can enjoy session after session after session guilt free (trivial wear and tear on the battery) and go a long time between charges. IIRC I got well over 50 in a row in one test. Those Solos, on a PA, are basically immortal WRT battery lifespan.
Plug and use at the same time is pass through vaporizing isn't it?
I don't think so, but I'm quite confident that's a minority view. Most, I think, see 'use while charging' as pass through but frankly I don't think they really understand either very well? When you get your car fixed the mechanic 'passes through' the cost of parts, if he adds profit for himself (charging you more than he paid), I don't consider that passing through costs, it's selling you stuff and perhaps deceptively?
Same here, basically? It can really only be considered 'passing through' the power when it sends out the same number of Watts (to the heater) as it takes in (from the power lines). Storing power (charging the battery) for use later is something different. So, while it uses a very small amount of power to control things, I think it's safe to say the old version using it's dedicated PA is a Solo running in pass through, or at least as close as any ever will be. Well, come to think of it, that Solo with a dead battery could be even closer????
There are true pass through vape pens, I've got one here somewhere. It takes in five Watts from the USB jack and delivers almost all of it to the cartridge heater (it takes a tiny bit to light the LED.....),
there's no battery involved. That won't work for Solo of course, it needs over 20 Watts and it's only taking in about ten (all it's allowed through the charge channel, basically).
In a way, it' a bit like the conduction/convection thing. Just names, understanding what's going on is far more important? Although this can be fun, and perhaps educational. No, make that 'hopefully educational'? I sure learn some cool stuff........
