Hey Guys ... Starting this sticky as a troubleshooting guide with tips and tricks. If you have a certain issue with yours, I hope myself, along with other Prodigy owners will be able to help solve them

I will update this first post over time with new information.

Basics:
The Prodigy works off of *Contact Points* There are 3 within the Prodigy.
1. End Cap with Spring
2. Contact post between batteries and plastic switch housing.
3. Contact post on top where the adapter is then placed.

When first assembling your Prodigy, its easier to start out with placing the batteries in (positive side towards the top) and then screwing on the end cap. At first, you will notice both threads for the Adapter and Endcap being kind of *rough*. You will also notice the spring is quite strong. At first, this may be a difficult task, but within a week or two of constant screwing on/off the threads will loosen up and become like button to screw on and off. Over this time, the spring also loosens and becomes weaker allowing for easier assembly. Remember to always screw on the adapter and end caps tightly. Connect the atomizer (remember not to tighten TOO tight)

I don't have one but If someone will lend me theirs for approximately the rest of my life I will troubleshoot it. Thank you

Looking for someone to test a bestecig BE112 to see if it fits..The threads dont seem to meet because center of the atomizer seems to be lower than the original/generic. I just want to confirm its not me

On a hunch, try this...Staple Mod - Filling The Center Conductor Gap On Penstyle Atomizers

that would work if i wanted to lengthen it but it needs to be lower not higher...the threads wont meet up..I may take a hammer and screwdriver and see if i can push it in alittle bit.

Awww... I gotcha Jay ...

Let me go take a series of pictures to show you how. Give me 10-15 minutes to show you how to adjust the center pin!

An easy fix would be great since the BE112s have a big following. I havent put it down since opening my box..its my new blankee hehe

Just to be a little clearer...its the center lead that is surrounded by the insulator that need to be pushed in more.

Janty Stick owners had a problem with some atomizers not reaching the center post of the Stick and were instructed to file a little off the end of the atomizer to make it fit. Seems to have worked for them.

This would be the opposite of that problem, to much atomizer sticking out that the threads dont meet

Jay, just snapped pics on how to do it...uploading now
