Bad little resistor!!!

[Zofryer]

In four months I've had two BE112's die. Neither time was it on the Prodigy. In fact, I don't think The Prodigy has killed an atomizer on me yet. I'm using the Tenergy RCR123a's that are 750mAH, BE112's, DSE901's, and RN4075's on it and the 5V switch.

I don't know if any of you are using the Blue Tenergy 3 volt batteries?
In reality, these two little buggers give out nearly 4 volts each.

I'm wondering if this may be the problem?

I agree, the 'heat management' aspect is likely a prominent factor. Of course, I think many of us Prodigy users are probably doing mouth inhales, as direct hits at 5 volts are a *bit* much.

I run an 801 on my Prodigy, and I really do prefer it over the 901. The 901 gets hot a lot faster for obvious reasons, and the 801 allows me to dump juice onto it in much greater quantities. I also prefer the flavor of the 801 at 5 volts. Give one a shot, but be really selective when choosing the specific manufacturer. After tons of testing and lost of money wasted, I stand behind the BE112 from Bestecig as my 801 of choice. Many of the other 801 atty options (if not all of them) have bridge / wicking / flooding issues that can totally ruin the experience.

My next experiment is to see if I can get an 801 cartridge to wick well with a shredded Pyramid Tea Bag (or two). If I can pull this off with success, my 'on the go' solution will be fully locked down. ;-)

it's not perfect, but the shredded PTB cart mod is working PRETTY well for me in the 901 prodigy, so it's worth trying. i think it still heats more juice than the wicking ration, but another person had suggested doing "non inhale inhales" to move the juice around. like, do a slow pull on the cart tip without pushing the button, just to move some of the fluid around. seems to help a bit as well.
