Most Travelers Get Charging Wrong (Don't Be One)

Voltage Converters vs Plug Adapters, Type-C Fastcharge protocols, PD, GaN, Per-Port Wattage - the terminology is CRAZY when it comes to charging tech - especially for travel, so in this video, I try to both simplify it all AND share a step-by-step process to create the perfect travel charging setup for YOU.

🔗👉 A 100W Universal Adapter I See a Lot of OTHER Travelers Use on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4q29PxN


5:58 Intermediary Charging Hubs
🔗👉 The 200W Hub I Currently Use on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3KTmdji
🔗👉 LOL! There’s even a 500W one on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3WoCpLW
🚨👆 IMPORTANT: Whenever I’m looking at these types of hub, I always check the weight, because some can be insanely heavy (designed to stay on a desk and not accidentally get tipped over easily), BUT, for travel, going as lightweight as possible is typically a good idea.


6:46 Cable Decisions
🔗👉 The LONG 240W PD Cables I Currently Use on Amazon: https://amzn.to/46Mvukx
🔗👉 The SHORT 240W PD Cables I Currently Use on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IOoITx
🔗👉 Cheaper (but still great) 100W PD Cables on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IWnqps


7:28 HUGE Safety & Convenience Tips
🔗👉 The Voltage Converter I OWN (but never need to use) on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IS1prX
🚨👆 IMPORTANT: Look at the image - the product itself LITERALLY printed “Not For Dyson” with a hair-dryer symbol, so if you specifically use a Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer - you’ll have to find another Voltage Converter.


8:13 Net-Result for Travel
🔗👉 The Pouch I Use to Pack the Charging Setup on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4pP4WI5
🚨👆You’ll notice that this is NOT a tech pouch, but rather, is a toiletry bag. This is one example of how there may be products that are NOT made for what they COULD be perfect for. But remember… this is perfect for ME - not necessarily for you, so please, don’t make knee-jerk purchases without really thinking about YOUR real life use.
