    keep bottles from leaking by using plastic wrap. just remove the top. and screw it back down over the plastic wrap that extends all the way down the length of the crap.

    My travel power journey... if you want to check out what I'm using now. Same as you, I loved traveling with an international adapter and an extension bank (Anker). I then went with the Kikkerland adapter to save space (since USB was in my extension bank). But recently I've been getting both solutions in a single compact device - the Mogics Super Bagel. Extension cord isn't quite as long, but the compact size is hard to beat. Only about 4 trips with it so far but loving it!

    try out a GaN travel adapter, it will change your life. You can fast-charge multiple devices at 60-100W. The Epicka one is slow if you plug in anything more than 1 device as the maximum output is only 28W.

    Interesting video - thank you! I do have to question the Portable Door Lock. I can see that it could work when you're 'in' the room and would definitely bring peace of mind especially to the solo (woman or man) traveler. However, I found the product video misleading when he states, "it's easy to walk around knowing that personal belongings are safe and secure inside the hotel ... " It can only be used when you're 'in' the room ... so .... ??

    I have the EPICKA and it's 4 years old and I love it. The power strip looks nice, but there are countries that do not use the 3 prong outlet, so even if my item has multiple voltage, I still can't use a power strip. I will be trying the toothbrush. I've found the regular Sonicare's vibration is too strong, so I generally use Oral B. I got scolded by my hygienist for using the hotel provided toothbrushes on my last trip, but I do not want to risk forgetting my electric toothbrush or the charger. I'm thinking with a AAA battery, the vibration may not be as strong. Thanks for t he tip.

      @@denisegrosch2744 It’s a pin adapter for Asia, EU etc as they don’t use the same type of plugs. It’s NOT a voltage converter/transformer! Cell phones are by default made to work in both 110 V (N.A.) and 220 V (EU, Asia). Note that phones can get a bit hot when plugged into 220 volt outlet for charging. As for plugging your hair dryer or other 110 V appliances, you’ll blow them if plugged into 220V. You need either a voltage converter or you need DUAL voltage gadgets available on Amazon and elsewhere. Hope that helps!

    I’m a big fan of anker batteries and cables but I feel like they’re better options out there unless you’re really worried about weight, I don’t think 10,000 mA is enough power for a long trip especially if you’re talking about multiple phones AirPods etc. I would go with 20,000. I would rather have extra juice than not enough just my two. Cents.

    • @paraagshah4153
      @paraagshah4153 Před 10 měsíci +2

      Power strips (or travel plug adapters for that matter) don't convert voltage. The voltage they recieve is the voltage they put out. For the voltage conversion from 110v to 220/230v, one needs a step-up or step-down transformer.

    • @johnvillalovos
      @johnvillalovos Před 10 měsíci +2

      @@paraagshah4153 That was not my question and I already know that. My question was is it multi-voltage compatible, meaning can it be plugged into 120 volts and 240 volts. The Travel Power Strip has USB so input voltage capability matters. As someone who blew up a USB phone charger years ago because it was only rated for 120 volts and I plugged it into 220 volts, I want to know if it is multi-voltage compatible so it doesn't get damaged if plugged into 220 volts.

      > USB Input: 110-125V~,50/60Hz
      So, (as paraagshah4153 indicated)... Power strips or travel plug adapters (generally) don't convert voltage. Based on this product's description, it's my understanding this power strip does NOT convert voltage.

    • @johnvillalovos
      @johnvillalovos Před 10 měsíci +2

      @@lowellaguno I did not ask if it converts voltage 🙂 As I said, I asked if it was multi-voltage compatible, which doesn't mean converting voltage. I also went to the Amazon page and posted my response (which for some reason didn't post before) indicating that it appears to NOT be multi-voltage capable. So if it gets plugged into 240 volts most likely the built-in USB charger will get damaged.

    • @johnvillalovos
      @johnvillalovos Před 10 měsíci +2

      Replying to myself (again it seems). This does NOT appear to be multi-voltage compatible. From the product's webpage it says: "USB Input:110-125V~,50/60Hz ". So very likely plugging this into 220/240 volts will destroy the USB charger.

    What about a travel converter? This list has a travel adapter, but the only electronic item that I'm aware of that would not need an adapter in most countries is a CPAP machine. There again, I state in most countries. So obviously even a CPAP machine is going to need a converter depending what country you're traveling to. We have been traveling with our own 15 foot extension cord because of the CPAP machine. We also have cell phones , Fitbit watches , and my curling iron that would need electricity . So any recommendations for my situation?
