    "An adapter changes the prongs. A converter throttles the juice."  BRILLIANT!!

    I plan to be a little overly cautious and they thought I will get a converter in addition to my Epicka universal adapter 🤔. My phone still takes a lightning cable, so I’ll just make those adjustments. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. Love your channel! Thanks for the video👍. Much appreciated!❤️❤️❤️

    Not just the voltage that matters, the frequency also does. North America is in 60Hz while Europe is in 50Hz.

    I've been watching your videos, and it seems like every time I say to myself, "that's what I do." That's why I keep watching! Thank you.

    The problem is countries like Korea and South America use recessed outlets.  So even though the prongs fit. The adapter won't fit into the recessed hole.

    Nice overview. It’s always better to trickle charge or slow charge any battery item so it doesn’t put stress on the battery but who can wait for that lol. Also I’ve had those two anchor packs. One already went out within a year waiting on anchors response for warranty usually in general, they’re pretty good.

    dual voltage devices plus a plug adapter. Presto, problem solved.

    Is it like the Anker Nano Travel adapter? I&apos;m clueless about all this new techie stuff for EU travel. Last time I went to Italy was before the flip phone era! I think you used Gettone in pay phones! Remember those?! LOL!!!I <br><br>I also just bought an Anker Nano Power Bank 45Watt, 10,000mAh.

    Is the power bank TSA compliant??

    I like your pointed commentary. Only, I can&apos;t understand the converter/adaptor stuff. Too hard.

  • @HomeGaChan · 2 months ago

    China is the same as the USA. China does have the 3 prongs, but only for high-power electricals.

    So ,mate,I &nbsp;have &nbsp;now watched a few of your &nbsp;YouTube &nbsp;videos lately. &nbsp;I have &nbsp;to agree &nbsp;with &nbsp;about &nbsp;80% of your &nbsp;bits of advice. &nbsp;However, 1 on cables . You &nbsp;didn&apos;t &nbsp;mention &nbsp;the thin pliable &nbsp;USB A to A or USB C A to USB A to USB &nbsp; C &nbsp;one. The thinner cable. It too has a purpose &nbsp;and &nbsp;is so light and minimalistic, it is to do &nbsp;( same &nbsp;with the good Cables you have &nbsp;shown ,not including &nbsp;magnetic coiled &nbsp;ones) <br>The wiring g inside these. Cables &nbsp;is important. &nbsp;Perhaps &nbsp;you &nbsp;could &nbsp;go into this. &nbsp;<br>As,someone &nbsp;from &nbsp;Australia, I get &nbsp;fed up with &nbsp;this bloody &nbsp;&quot; oh it has to be the Apple &nbsp;product, it is best. &nbsp;Well that is &nbsp;garbage, and &nbsp;US and &nbsp;Canadians &nbsp;get suckered into &nbsp;the rubbish &nbsp;Battery Life,the you have to &nbsp;buy this separately &nbsp;we all know it is a Salrs/ Profit &nbsp;scam<br>Most of the &nbsp;World &nbsp;uses Android &nbsp;phones &nbsp;etc. But to ho on a bit. The Epica Plug in charger with it&apos;s own &nbsp;outlets &nbsp;underneath &nbsp;is brilliant. Due to its &nbsp;weight and &nbsp;thinness, it won&apos;t generally &nbsp;pull out of the &nbsp;zillion &nbsp;times &nbsp;used wall socket &nbsp;points in Hotels, Airbnb &nbsp;etc.<br>A lot of the World &nbsp;also &nbsp;handle &nbsp;240V with &nbsp;ease, it is the lesser 110V that can be the worry. <br>So,I off to &nbsp;Peru,Bolivia, and &nbsp;Chile &nbsp;and the 6000 metres &nbsp;Altiplano. &nbsp;Could &nbsp;you &nbsp;do &nbsp;a Video &nbsp;for &nbsp;all on what &nbsp;really &nbsp;cold and &nbsp;really &nbsp;Hot climates &nbsp;do to your &nbsp;phones, Power Chargers etc. Even &nbsp;travelling with my &nbsp;CPAP MINI, I have &nbsp;the co settings &nbsp;sorted by the Manufacturer &nbsp;people. &nbsp;As well I have &nbsp;a Battery Pack and &nbsp;a ZOLTA 160 Watt &nbsp;DC,AC converter. With the safely switch off for &nbsp;overheat, or problem.<br>Sadly &nbsp;most of my &nbsp;American &nbsp;friends &nbsp;have &nbsp;only &nbsp;ever &nbsp;had 2 weeks &nbsp;to Holiday &nbsp;with. Yes there is &nbsp;Thanksgiving ( nightmare &nbsp;time for &nbsp;travel &nbsp;and &nbsp;stuff ups) Here we get 4 to 6 weeks &nbsp;leave to use all or split &nbsp;how we like. <br>Great &nbsp;channel @Better Latitude <br>Cheers &nbsp;from &nbsp;Perth, Western Australia
