USB cigarette lighter sockets

Now that I've given up the dreaded fags - and taken up vaping instead - I'd like to convert my cigarette lighter and "12V power supply" to USB chargers.

There seem to be millions of them on eBay - any recommendations for particularly good ones.... in the comments, please!

Remember Amps iz king, don’t go for weedy 1A converters as they’ll struggle to run most tech, never mind run and charge. Sad

Anything USB charging related, I buy Anker. Reasonably priced, solid build and just about every option for ins and outs going. All available on Amazon too.

Current list is various 12v to USB A/C in the insignia, plus one in the Disco (fully converted one front and middle socket to USB), a regular power bank, a wireless power bank, mains chargers either side of the bed and the spare bed, plus a 4 way in each of my work tools bag and travel bag. All Anker cables too.

They’ve had their fill out of me over the years, but I’ve only replaced two cables, and I can lay blame for one on the puppy.

Mine have the advantage of only protruding 5mm above the socket. What I now need is 90degree cables to keep it all low profile.

Get a tuffrock power kit and plate which replaces all the 12v sockets in the front with 4no usb charger points, 2no 12v cigarette lighter sockets and a voltage indicator.

all easy to wire up too.
