Opps, posted before I wrote anything.
This is the change I remember seeing. Knew I wasn't going nuts.

Guess TV is on a holey budget. As long as they all add up....Got it so what I need is simply more holes AND less holes.
More and less towels Dewey Cox!

Whats going on in TV land with the power supply 12v car plug? At this point I'd find that far more useful than the house plug I have currently. I've run it with a power inverter, but it would be nice to not make a jungle out of the car haha.
If someone (else) is up to experimenting, here is a supply that should do (5A@6v from 12v):I asked about this in an email a few days ago to the ThermoVape team and here was the reponse:
Glad you're enjoying the pass through. As far as I know, we don't have a car pass through adapter in design. I'm not sure if that's something that is discussed on the forums much, but I have yet to hear about one at all here.

I would assume Zeki doesn't frequent us on FC, but I could've sworn it was mentioned by the TV team at one point on here. Man.. honestly I was looking forward to the DC adapter moreso than the AC adapter, I sure hope they can source one that will work.
That one will do the job nicely. Kind of pricey but specs look good.If someone (else) is up to experimenting, here is a supply that should do (5A@6v from 12v):

I would say it would be a approach with caution for sure. Reason been, the inverters are rarely a true RMS AC output. The cheap ones are more of a square wave. This would be the first thing to look for. The power consumption in this case is relatively small. So a good quality 100 watt job should in theory work fine.Any reason not to just use a regular power inverter and the house adapter? At this point my cloud gets used inside and the T1 outside/car only.

So what I'd do (and probably will try) is hooking it up, then fire it up watching the glow of the element. Compare with batteries. Also check for any abnormalities with power supply such as heat or buzzing. Just can never be too safe. The last thing you want is electrical problems while driving.

If your buddy's VW SUV is a recent Touareg, it has several 115v outlets and a built-in power inverter. The vehicle I drive has more than a half dozen A/C outlets, including one on the dashboard.Last thing I want is to short out my buddies new SUV you are right HAHa. Its a VW too so the electronics are already crazy.
Anyone from the UK ordered?
I get $47 postage for a single $35 item. Arse

Well tried a couple on my transformer type supply. Both failures.It is, but its the one right before the power inverter I think. Or he hasn't found it yet
Where is the built in inverter?
In his VW we used a cheapo power inverter and the official TV wall wart from the power supply. Everything worked perfect on more than 1 occasion.
Thanks as that would be great. Not sure about the magnificient though.Up next I'll be asking my buddy which model he uses so we can report it working to the magnificent pipes
