    I should be ordering my W3V next week for a long trip to Asia. It will definitely be used on the long plane trip. Will the 70W output of the IGO Juice 70 power adapter be sufficient for it? What is the listed W3V power spec? Anyone know the power tip type number?

    A number of people here are using the Juice and they all love it -- I already asked around about it, 'cause I'm thinking of getting one.

    You need tip #16 for the W3, which is an extra ten bucks. [} :)]

    Juice tip No. 3 fits my W3A OK and is part of the standard set.

    I think it is not shown as being compatible because the plug does not go fully into the W3's socket. However, it has worked fine for the past two weeks.

    John, thanks for the tip. I will try the #3 tip first and maybe save $10 plus shipping. How did you know that the #3 worked? Did you plug the tips from the IGO package in to the W3V one at a time until you get power?
