If you don't create or modify your own liquid there are a couple of merchants out there that produce "high voltage" nic juice. You might try a lower nic strength also. The higher voltage increases the juice consumption.

Yes, I usually vape PS 36mg 555 during the day and PS 11mg 555 at night. I have tried the 11mg. I also have several bottles of Drew's HV in various flavors that I have tried. Hasn't helped yet. :(

Actually I love it at 4.2v on the Protege with a fresh batt. Wish I could add some resistance to bring the PT down a notch.


I have the old PT and I have added a .47 ohm 2 watt resistor to bring it down a bit. Now its just a bit punchier than the Prodigy at 3.7 volts.

I just cut the red wire, soldered in the resistor, taped it up and stuffed it all back in the tube. It's just right for me now. I don't know if there is room to do the same with the new version.

What loaded and unloaded voltage does this setup give you?

There probably is room but I'm not sure I wanna void the warranty.

Well, burnt taste with PT problem solved! :D

First, I went back to using my PTB mod ( a mod of the RHO mod). It gives a more continuous flow of liquid to the atty. When dripping you can get dry quickly at 5v or over do it sometimes and flood. Boiling e-liquid is not good.

Second, I started using my finger to check the temp at the base of the atty. Too hot and you have to let it cool off first. Patience is not my most abundant virtue. :(

Now I'm getting 3 or 4 consecutive 5-7 second hits, even a few good primer puffs, then a long drag. Great flavor, great hit, from a great PV! :thumbs:

Now if I can just learn to put it down so I don't go into nic overload! Self control is not my most abundant virtue either ;)

Great news! I knew you would get it. Your gonna put a dent in your juice inventory if you don't watch it.

IM39 - Pretty sure you need a usb adapter that outputs 1000mA (1 amp)

I might go for a little higher amperage. I have a 1a ac adapter that struggles and trips sometimes. I also have tripped a Kensington power pack. I use a Kensington power pack but run the charger on it while vaping. 1 amp may be a little low sometimes. I have seen the higher wattage DCD adapters but can't find the link right now. But, if it's cheap and easy to get then go for it and see if it works.

Got my 510 passthrough today along with the same rocking USB wall plug (USB Dual Power Adapter thanks Markarich159!). ...
Just real quick what do you guys think of this thing for use with a PT as a USB to all adapter/ power pack...been kinda eyeballing it for a couple of days now as far as a possible option for running dual PTs in the car..just wanna have everything all lined up before ordering the PTs..
Anyway here it is.. ZAGG | ZAGGsparq | 4 full iPhone charges, mobile battery, device charger, cellphone charger, portable battery pack, 6000 mAh lithium polymer battery, USB x2 at 1000 mAh output, AC 100-240 v/50/60 Hz ...thoughts on whether it would work well..
some of the stats..

  • 6,000 mAh Lithium Polymer
  • Has the power to charge an iPhone up to four times
  • 4 yellow lights indicate power level, 25%-50%-75%-100%
  • Has the ability to charge multiple USB devices simultaneously
  • Fixed output: 2x 1000mA @ 5V
  • Power Source: AC 100-240 v/50/60 Hz
  • Physical Size 3.5 x 3.5 x 1 inches
  • Weight .54 lbs.

Lotus, glad you figured that out. ::waves::

I'm quoting 2 people here:

You miiiight wanna cut your nic. Think I first cut down significantly when I went from a regular 510 to the Prodigy. That's probably a big reason I started mixing my own, and I've gone ahead and bought straight PG now, I can spike it with a touch of Tasteless if I want a little nic. Once in awhile I will top off with some old 11mg juice (hard to cut pre-flavored juice without washing out the taste), but not very often or I'd be ill. I go through liquid like wildfire with the PT.

I have killed a brand-new atty in one day, 24 hours, using just my older PT with the USB dual-port adapter Markarich found. KILLED it dead, boom, all at once, no slow petering out. Hoping it was just a somewhat faulty one and I don't start going through an atty a day here.

One other random thought (it's nearly 2am here). I don't 'spect Steve has ever used a curling iron, huh? Curling irons have this swiveling joint sort of thing where the cord goes into the handle, so you get more flexibility moving the thing around. I wonder if it is possible to use something like that with the PTs. It'd make the cord a little less unwieldy to deal with.

Another random thing: Mind-boggling... TW is selling Roast Chicken e-liquid. Roast Chicken! I ordered some just because I need to try it. It's not bacon, but it might be interesting. Within a year, someone should have come up with a bacon-cheesburger liquid and a French-fry liquid, to be chased occasionally with a chocolate milkshake liquid.

Okay, it's clearly past bedtime.

Looks nice and um...expensive! I'd wonder about the output "2x 1000mA @ 5v." I think you're better off with at least 1.5mA. The one found by Markarich159 pushes 2amps if you're only using one of the ports. Wonder it this will do the same or if it's limited to 1amp.

Right, it is a little pricey..but i was looking at it more compared to some of the other portable power packs like the kensingtons combined with the aforementioned wall adapter.. it just sounded like it would be super versatile for our needs..
