My 1st PS Experience

**Bandit** · 09-09-2009, 01:38 AM

I wanted to order today, but it seems I need the Switch Housing to be able to vape at 5v, but even though it says "in stock" it will not allow you to select it for ordering.

Am I missing something?

I'd really like to grab one before they sell out again to avoid a long wait.

Synth,

If it makes you feel any better, I sent Steve a long PM with lots of questions - I think it was at the end of last week - and I got a very helpful, detailed answer in a matter of hours.

I ordered a prodigy yesterday morning...so I know the 'I can't wait' feeling.

Good Luck!

The Prodigy comes STANDARD at 5v. If you wanted to, you could order the extra switch housing that would allow you to vape at 3.7v (standard e-cig battery, but much longer life) OR 6v, which would provide more vapor, but also more heat than 5v, which (arguably) tends to be too strong for most folks, providing a harsher vape with burned flavors.

The only REAL reason to order the extra switch housing is to accomplish one of two things:

1) Getting the same hit as a freshly charged standard e-cig battery for a much longer period of time (some say 1-3 DAYS) at 3.7v

2) 5v is too weak for you and you want to go a bit higher

This has been explained multiple times on this forum in the passed day or two, however I'll explain it again.
If you order a prodigy kit, you will get one with a switch that has a resistor that limits it to 5v with Two (2) 3v batteries. You could use a single 3.7v battery with this switch, but it will reduce the voltage to something unusable due to the resistor. You could also choose to purchase the extra UNREGULATED switch with no resistor and it would allow you choose between 3.7v (which would not be reduced) or 6v (which, as I said, can be too much).
However, now that the protege is available for preorder, if you really wanted 3.7v, you should just order that.
If you want a prodigy, just order the kit, you'll get the 5v you want.

I hope that helps :-)

Thanks everyone for the continuing support throughout this thread...

I just placed an order for a Prodigy V1 (801). I think I'm going to setup a tent next to the mailbox now. Is it here yet?

Thanks very much for clarifying that CMc...Just when I thought I understood how the prodigy worked, Bandit's post made me wonder if I'd missed something. Hopefully you saved her some money, as well.

Now all I have to do is sit and wait on my Prodigy...but something tells me it's going to be worth waiting for.

Poor mailman's probably going to think he has a stalker.

Thanks for the clarification, standard kit it is then!

Oh, and JustMeAgain... Bandit is HE

LOL
