Is it the charger? The cable? The device itself? Who knows. An easy way to whittle down the issues is with a USB-C voltage\/amperage meter, like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01NAWYSVK?tag=reviewgeek-20\">the USB-C VAMETER from Plugable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>An easy way to diagnose charging issues or power draw from accessories<\/li>\n<li>Good build and bright screen<\/li>\n<li>Display can be rotated 180 degrees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited use for many users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s a simple little gadget that\u2019s about the size of a flash drive that you can use to monitor the flow of electricity to your gadgets. You can use it with phones, laptops, or anything else that uses USB-C. Just toss it in between the power source and your device, and watch it do its thing. It\u2019s neat.<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"htgeditornotesel\">USB-C VAMETER<\/span>\u00a0has a small OLED screen that outputs voltage, amperage, and wattage. It\u2019s bright and easy to read. There\u2019s also a little button on the side that rotates the display 180 degrees, so you can use it on basically any USB-C port regardless of orientation. That\u2019s a nice touch that not all USB-C meters like this have.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8471ee25.jpg\" alt=\"The Plugable VAMETER hooked up to a computer\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The other cool thing about the VAMETER is that you can use it to read the draw of power from external USB devices. For example, if you often use an external hard drive over USB-C and wonder how much juice it\u2019s pulling from your laptop, you can put the VAMETER between the drive and your laptop to read power draw.<\/p>\n<p>In my testing, the VAMETER just works. Plug it in, click the button to get the proper display orientation, and let it do its thing. I used it while testing various charging bricks and whatnot, and it reacted exactly as expected, making it easy to discern the difference between two charging bricks in real time.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-95725 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/08\/aff2545f.jpg\" alt=\"The button on top of the VAMETER\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pressing this button flips the display 180 degrees. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The VAMETER is built primarily from plastic, but it feels solid and well-made to me. I read some reviews about older models with less-than-ideal construction, but those seem to have been fixed with this particular model. Plugable also offers a two-year warranty on this meter, which should provide some peace of mind if you plan on using this for any sort of work-related gadget repair or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, there\u2019s not a lot to say about the Plugable VAMETER. It\u2019s $30, is well made, and just works. I can\u2019t think of any reason <i>not<\/i> to buy it if you need a gizmo like this.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>An easy way to diagnose charging issues or power draw from accessories<\/li>\n<li>Good build and bright screen<\/li>\n<li>Display can be rotated 180 degrees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited use for many users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
