Protege review

[Big Texas]

I purchased a Protege and thought I had the best e-cig you can buy for a couple of weeks then the switch went bad....

They said send it back we will fix it and they did.... is this what I spent my money on ??? Send it back to be fixed.

I ordered a 510 adapter and it did not work, they said no problem,,, send it back we will fix it !!!
I sent it back and it don't work.

I ordered 2 mechanical swithches, just in case the new one they put in does not work..... guess what,, the new switch worked for about 3 weeks and the new ones I ordered do not work.

Everybody talks bad about the chinnese .... but at least you know you are paying low price for low quality not HIGH PRICE for low PS quality

Amen brother, Amen.
I threw my Prodigy V1 away... seriously... I would've sold it but I wouldn't wish that piece of trash on anyone.

I'm sick of hearing people paying 100 bucks or more for PV's that fail. My xhaler is so reliable. battery, juice, vape. That's what it does, that's what i want it to do.

I just can't justify the cost of 99% of the mods available. I just make my own. For ~$10 if it dies, I'll make another. However, I AM considering trying out the DSE 905 body only kit. At only $40 it's not a bad deal at all. Madvapes has them at that price and also carry adapters for a steal.

That's unfortunate, I've had nothing but good things to say about my Protege and V2. I've only had them for a month, and so far they've undergone abuse that shouldn't be wished upon any mod.

I was surprised to see how expensive some of these mods are, but considering what some mainstream companies are charging for absolute trash, I am more than happy, and my V2 has already paid for itself.

I would like a more sturdy feeling button, and I know some have had problems, but mine is still working like a charm.

As to how customer service works regarding a return, I haven't had to experience that yet and hope I never have to.

If anyone is considering throwing away thier V1's in the future, I'd be happy to take them off your hands.

I think I will throw mine in a lake along with a dime.... thay way I can say I lost something of value !

Same here, their stuff looks good on paper but in reality... not so much.

Yes, their products look elegant but I think it's more a problem of poor design. A simple mechanical switch shouldn't require the customer to constantly fiddle with it to get it to work. I don't mind paying a premium price for a quality product, but I don't expect to be their R&D department in the process. And whoever cuts the threads on their tubes and adapters needs to go back to shop class.

Rant off...

Wow. I've got them all. The passthrough, Prodigy V1 and V2 and a Protege. I guess I lucked out because I haven't had ANY problems with any of them. All switches have worked perfectly right from the get go and I just love the well thats there to catch the sometimes leaking juice. I haven't had to deal with customer service reguarding a return yet but from what I've heard it's great. I give them two thumbs up!!

I have a V1 I love and no problems..

I have purchased 2 V2s and had some problem with the adapter which puresmoker replaced. Then it worked fine

I had a few issues at first with the switch but seemed to be worked out the more I used it.. I guess break in.. Most of the time works well..

Vape is awesome on both devices.

Service is good from the limited exposure I had with them.. Very willing to help you when you ask.

thats my 2c
