just-cass I have a Prodigy and a Protege. I hope you have just as good a time with your Protege as I am with mine. I love it!
I've had my Prodigy about 5 months (no problems what so ever and no atty loss) and the Protege about 3 months. I'm still using the orginal switch that so many people had problems with. Bought a new one (switch) just in case, but I'm not going to use it until the first one fails. I started out using carts. It worked ok but now I just drip with mine. It's easier. Best of luck!! Enjoy! Getting ready to order a ProdigyV2. Gotta have it!

As everyone knows there's a big difference between the 3.7v on cig style ecigs and the 3.7v on mods and it's all about peak voltage of 4.19v - where some batteries are running on that for longer periods. The regular 510 batts, eg. I don't think even make it to peak - the difference between a newly charged reg. batt and the 14500, for example, is extreme. It is even a significant difference between the 14400 and the 14500, imo.
After having used the Protege via PT at 5volts for over a week now, I prefer the 14500 batt + Joye 510 atty combination. It doesn't take long on 5V to begin tasting the 'dry atty' taste - it eats liquid and for me, with the exception of one coffee flavor, all other flavors taste better on the 14500/510 combo than on the 5V with any atty and I've tried the 510, 510HV, 901, 801 and cartos.
Also while the 5V does produce a bit more vapor than the 14500/510 combo, I don't find that as big a factor as flavor - the vapor is sufficient and probably more like a cigarette where the 5v is more like a cigar as far as vapor goes. I should note that 'throat hit' isn't a big consideration for me - although it isn't zero consideration - with the 14500/510 I can feel the vapor well. With the 5V it can be irritating.
I'm glad I tried the 5v and it is interesting, but I think I found my best combination at 3.7/4.2Vpeak with the 14500/900mAh and the Joye 510 atty for flavor, vapor, the throat hit I want, and the size of devices that deliver it - Bartleby and Protege - which will last me 6-8 hours before need for a recharge. I have no need for a battery that will last 2-3 days. I also have a Chameleon that also gets the peak 4.2V with a different battery at a slightly lower mAh.
Hope this helps someone....

The "standard" atty will handle the 5v(even 6v) becuase you are only hitting it for 2-4 seconds. Any atty will burn up in constant voltage is appled for a long period of time (even @ 3.7v).
Your replies are interesting.
The voltage is the limiting factor as to how much current flows through a resistor. An atty is a piece of resistance wire, so its basically a resistor. The power supply I used had a 22 amp capacity. If 3.7 will burn out an atty over time, then the maxium current a battery can supply has to be the limiting factor. So a little 5volt battery might be ok and a big one would fry the atty. Has anyone experimented with putting a resistor in series with the atty?

I know at least one of the mods on the market (can't remember which Prodigy V1 maybe???) does this so they use 6v of batts to actually vape at 5v........
Houdini made a video of him running a 3 minute dry burn with a 510 atty, I think he was intentionally trying to blow the thing, but never did

For what it's worth, my attys seem to live just as long at 5V on my passthrough as they do in my JS at 3.7V. 6V, I've managed to kill an atty in under a day, but this only happened once, and it was because I was experimenting with vaping a penstyle cart at high voltage (don't do it!!).
I havent had a moist atty die in under 6 weeks on any of my PV's.
