What's the difference between flow-through and non flow-through. Why or when would you use one over the other?

I have the flow-through and I got them so I could just add air by taking the valve cap off the sensor rather than have to remove the sensor every time I needed to add air.

If I had to do it over, I would forego the flow-through and just get the regular sensors. The flow-through restricts air so much that it takes forever to add just a couple psi. If you have to add, say 5-7 psi to a 16" tire, you will be at it for quite a long time. I now take off the sensors if I have to add as little as 5 psi.

Yep, and if you leave the rotating security covers off the standard 507 sensors, you just remove them like a regular valve cap to air up. The smaller size without the security cover also makes them a bit lighter and less noticeable.
