Yep mogics would be the jack of all trades for me.

1. Cord - it has a cord albeit short, still super useful especially on loose wall outlet.

2. Circular plug design - Big adapters doesnt aint a problem anymore.

3. 5 ac plugs - This is the best feature by far, most travel adapters offer only 1 or 2 with no consideration of the big adapters.

4. has 2x 18 watts usb c

Do you need an apple power adapter or could you charge from USB? There's several travel adapters with USB built in.

to avoid the wobble altogether, you can pair your plug adapter with a short extension cord that has built in usb ports, like the anker powerextend. You’d plug the adapter into the wall and use the extension cord to connect your power block which takes the weight off the adapter. Honestly this is one of the simplest fixes if the main issue is the adapter tipping over because of a heavy charger. If you want an actual adapter then the infinacore powerplug wall adapter is a good option. It’s built with GaN II technology, which basically means it’s super efficient and doesn’t overheat while delivering up to 100W of power. The dual usb-c ports are great for charging multiple devices. For something as tech-heavy as an apple power block, this one holds up well and doesn’t feel flimsy in the socket. Another great option is the ceptics plug adapter kit. It’s not universal in the traditional sense- it comes with specific adapters for different regions. But that actually makes it more stable because you’re not dealing with a bulky all-in-one design.) They fit snugly into outlets especially in Europe and some versions come with usb ports so you can charge smaller devices directly

This is the innovation you’re looking for

This wil charge MacBooks iPads phones etc, get the 100w version if you need a bit more power this will be the only thing you need to carry

I highly recommend the Mogics Super Bagel. Kills several birds with one stone. Also, it includes the small adapter that u/plaid-knight linked to.

If you are american and all your electronics do not need the 3rd pin then I honestly just suggest getting some lightweight adapters and carrying them around.

UK

Australia

Europe

South Africa

Those are the main ones which should cover you in most places, bring what you need for your trip.

If you are truly going on a world trip and will hit many countries, then you could also consider this universal one. Honestly though, I prefer just bringing the single lightweight ones personally, as I typically only ever need to bring 1 or 2 of them for any given trip.

The creme de la creme of Universal adaptors with USB appears to be this https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Adapter-4-Pro-Ports-Black/dp/B078GNJ86V. But I found it a little rich for my blood.

Personally I kept my normal USB adaptor and just use the Kikkerland flat pack adapter found here https://kikkerland.com/products/universal-travel-adapter.

Best of luck.

Universal Power adapters are bulky and will sag off wall power points, you're better off carrying a power pack like the one above, and either carrying two pin cables for different power points, or getting these:

https://www.amazon.com/OREI-Australia-China-Adapter-Plug/dp/B008JCVGPE

For travel adapter I use region specific ones if I am only going on a shorter trip to countries using the same outlets.

If going to a bigger mix of countries you can bring multiple, or perhaps just this https://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-UL03-A-Universal-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00210MRGC#customerReviews

For charging I like using a charger with an extended cord, rather than a brick that plug into the wall. This one seems pretty good, they keep getting better all the time though: https://www.amazon.com/Delivery-RAVPower-Charging-Compatible-Nintendo/dp/B018S6X8N8

That one should be able to charge some laptops with a 45W PD output, but if you want to use it for that you should double check.

With that, just get a few small charging cables and you are good to go, should be able to charge all your stuff with one brick.

edit: Also, an option with 60W PD: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Delivery-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B079P11LBV - If using this to charge a laptop I would go with the 60W

Mu One (which I use for several years) or Mu Two (if I was buying today).

Baseus 65W GaN charged + set of international adapters or if you need USB-A or 65W of power in the smallest possible package.

Yep, not having Australian plug makes me feel like this great product is incomplete. But a tiny adapter from the link I provided solves this problem. Speaking of adapter width, I only ran into this problem in Switzerland where they are in a habit of making triple outlets very close to each other. But point is, this is the only adapter I ever take with me so having the whole set of outlets blocked does not bother me.

In times of USB-C charging and GaN technology, you should get along with one compact charger for all devices. I would pack underwear and socks in a cube or drawstring bag and bring a second bag for the dirty things. Shirts and pants can go in a cube, but you should check first, how they best fit into your bag.

The biggest tip I learned from traveling is to always try to minimize how much you need of each item. For example, some shirt fabrics begin to smell or lose the "fresh" feeling much sooner than others. Even just finding a really good quality shirt can make such a big difference because you want one that will last a long time in between washes.

You forgot:

• Underwear

• A pair of running shorts that can double as swim trunks and maybe even look fashionable enough for regular traveling. Patagonia Baggies come to mind, but a few similar models exist

Also:

> * Plastic fork/spoon etc

Just grab a reusable Spork and depending on your skill you could also bring chopsticks.

> * 1 good jacket

A down jacket is neat in a cold climate, but you won't get much use out of it if you're in Spain or SE Asia during summer. Probably better to bringing a decent shell (I like the Patagonia Torrentshell 3L) and some mid-layer that can also be worn as an out layer if it's not raining but still a bit chilly and not chilly enough to warrant a down jacket.

> if anything on this packlist needs packing cubes. It seems unlikely

The thing is, you'll likely won't need them for compression and space, but it still makes things easier to pack and unpack. And everything is a lot more organized: 1 cube for socks and underwear, 1 for shirts and pants, 1 for jackets, 1 for shoes (also keeps the rest protected from dirty shoes).

Haven’t packed one of those in a while. There are solutions that negate the need for one of those bulky adapters, including bringing a small adapter for just the place(s) you’re visiting or bringing a multi-country adapter that’s thinner, like the Kikkerland Universal Travel Adapter or the Card Travel Adapter 4-Pro.

This is what I use

Granted you need to be on the Apple platform

I bought chargers with replaceable heads, or ones with the right plug for my destination on them. Then I just take the right one for the destination and it's a plug rather than a plug and an adapter/

I don't use a tech organizer because I don't carry as much tech as some do. Instead I have a small packing cube where I keep all my adapters, charging cables, etc.

I just shoved it in the main pocket with my clothes. It doesn't really fit anywhere else in my bag, and I only need it at the hotel so there's no need for quick access.

Next trip I think I'm just going to get a dedicated adapter or charger for the country I'm going to. On my last trip the large, cheap 4-in-one adapter I brought had a tendency to almost pull itself out of the wall from its own weight before I even plugged anything into it, and I'd rather just avoid the hassle.

Travel adapters with USB connections are generally lower power than a dedicated GaN charger. Although there are some improvements coming especially with the Epicka brand that can output 70W through one USB-C PD port.

If you plan on charging things like Laptops or larger iPad's than it might not be a the best option.

As a side note I am also not a fan of charging from a wall brick. I like an extension cord to get to the numerous hard to reach outlets you encounter at random apartment rentals. If you have a bunch of short or normal length usb cables you end up in uncomfortable places to simultaneously charge and use your devices.

Haven't used it much yet but I just bought one of these, it's able to charge my Surface Laptop Go 2 via USBC - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BN1X6QVH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details.

If you really have that many things to chance maybe buy a USB C to USB A hub?

I second the GaN. I love this one Anker USB C Charger, 735 Charger... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C5RG6KV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

If you don't need a universal power plug, just USB C x 2 and one USB A, the Minix P1 is awesome. Max wattage is 65W, so enough for a Macbook Pro or larger tablet.

Fully agree, i had one old adapter but with no additional ports.. figured out GaN is what i neeed😅

It's available now, it's called the Passport III. They have the previous version too which is Passport II (very little difference). I have it and its probably my favorite thing I've bought for travel.

I use the Zendure travel adaptor which has 30w They have one on kick starter now with 60w

• has 3 or 4 usbc ports and a usb a as well as a spot for PowerPoint

I had a Zendure adapter and it’s really shoddily built. Lasted one trip before starting to come apart. Now I use a CARD travel adapter and while it’s way overpriced for what it is, and charging can be slow, I feel like it will last for decades.

You want an adapter not the charger yea? I would look at the new ones on Amazon, depending where you are. Search for “GaN travel adapter” - that will give you fast, variable power with all plugs.

Or if you have an adapter and just want the charger/wall plug to plug into it, my recommendation is always for one of the Baseus based on your needs. I personally use the 75w with 2 USBCs and one A.

I use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Adapter-PowerPort-MacBook/dp/B07ZCGYP27/. The detachable cable allows you to use local plugs without having to use adapters (every adapter I've used is bad and the power cable falls out too easily). And it also doesn't require you to charge your laptop/devices right next to an outlet.

Hey! I have one of these. Technically only up to 45watts which could probably charge your laptop/hold its charge during use. I haven’t travelled with it yet but had planned on just getting some alternative IEC cables as it’s a standard iec figure 8 at the back.

https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/comsol-4-port-usb-c-usb-a-desktop-charger-codc4pd65

It's great. I use the same one.

But it's not universal. Doesn't work in countries such as Australia.

I’m a fan of this one (Oneworld PD) since you never know what funky electrical system you’re plugging into overseas (it has a bunch of safety features including over current and an auto fuse), unfortunately just has one USB C port and a few USB A plus a regular power plug—but they make other options with more ports too.

For the curious, power supplies can have all sorts of problems too, some of which are highlighted here. So I’d be careful about a bunch of these chargers that don’t have electrical safety standards testing (UL, CSA, ETL, etc).

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-power-adapters-testing,5328.html

I’d look at the Anker brand chargers on Amazon. I travel with a very compact single usb-c charger but they make a bunch of different sizes and configurations. I have various Anker chargers all over my house and they all work great and are nice and compact.

A bit out of the box here but I’m currently looking into the Mogics Super Bagel which has what you want plus a travel adapter and extension cord built in!

The new 240w slimq comes with a USA 3 prong plug, the older slimq travel adapters don't seem to work on this new one. Any thoughts on getting the new slimq to work outside the usa? Thanks!

I have this too. Charges my MacBook Air and Pixel at a good speed. I was worried initially because the prongs to connect the different plugs look a bit flimsy, but no issues so far. It also comes with a handy bag to store the other plugs you're not using.

The CARD Travel Adapter has 1 USB-C, 3 USB-A, and adapters built in. Been using it constantly since September and can vouch it's well worth the money.

I use the Anker charger https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Premium-Desktop-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=anker+usb-c+charger&qid=1556286951&s=gateway&sr=8-5

​

But I would now purchase the updated Powerport PD4

https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-atom-pd-4/A2041121

​

It takes a double barrel (C7) plug/cable, so I just ordered C7 power plugs for the countries I needed

https://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-adapter-60320-C7-receptacle/dp/B004OHHKSU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=IEC+60320-C7&qid=1556287077&s=gateway&sr=8-3

​

Upside is I have the choice of bringing the cable or the plug (or both).

At home I use a multiport charger, but for travel I find it takes up much less space to use

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GBYVF4Q/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Charger-Compact-Foldable/dp/B07H8WJCTF

Some times 2 small chargers can be smaller than one big one.

I have the MU:ONE International and use my Powerbank when I need more ports. For you the CA4-Pro should be the right one as u/mingyjongo has already mentioned.

I just bought this and used it in Belgium and United kingdom. While my coworkers were in town from overseas, I tested on their devices to the US plug. Works like a charm. Most devices these days are dual voltage so I don't worry too much about the power converters anymore. I only charge my laptop, cell phone, and apple watch.
