well for me the voltage just keeps climbing, 3.7 is OK, 5V better but my Silver Bullet has me won over for now at 6V!
Delrin is an insulator. If it wasn't it would be bypassing the switch leaving the device on at all times.
I have used them all except a Nicostick, though I have a 5v Detonator-type.
The Prodigy is the best, IMHO.
The Prodigy is the only one that has:
- Interchangeable heads to use different atomizers (No adapters)
- Sealed from leakage getting inside
- Well around the atomizer to keep flooded juice contained
I also think it's the best size. And it has the best build quality of them all, easily.
I'm not a fan of the way the resistor is mounted in mine, but they have improved that since I got mine.
Even though the GLV doesn't have the features I listed above, it's a close second. I love the overall design with the offset atomizer, and I love the button - both feel and placement. The feel in the hand and balance is excellent. The biggest issue I have with the GLV is that the atomizer portion is open - flooding an atomizer will allow juice into a section of the GLV that is very difficult to clean. Color choice and text customization is a nice feature.
The XHaler... I never could get the XHaler to work at 5v - even measured it under load - and can't understand how it possibly could do so. I love the mechanical switch and despise the placement. I like the over feel - narrow and well-balanced. I like the choices of color/graphics. I hate the the 510 option is an adapter. All the 801s we have don't fit - they barely catch the threads, and you have to take the batteries out to attach it easily, and once attached there's no air flow.
5v/6v Detonator-style - I freaking love the ability to go 5v or 6v at the touch of a button. The body is too fat for the batteries - thin batteries need a inner PVC sleeve.

The switch system on mine sometimes sets itself off when it rolls up against my Adaptever, or my aluminum keyboard mac. Not depressing the switch just shorts out and turns itself on.
I ground some slots like a 510 battery in the 801 adapter housing for air flow. Works for me anyway.

So all you people voting... You do have more than one of these, right?
If it's the ONLY one you own it can't really be called your favorite of the bunch.
If you own more than one, state that and compare them. What do you like about each one, what do you dislike?

That's why I can't vote, I only have one and have nothing to compare it to.
Maybe someone who knows what the top 10 or maybe 20 mods are could poll on who owns what.
Even though that wouldn't tell you which is actually the best, but it would give someone an idea of which is best by vote of popularity. I bought mine because of testimonials from other owners of the same.
When there are that many "Other" votes, it says that there are others that should probably be on the other than "Other" list.
I would do it, but I don't know enough about them to come up with all the popular mods available.
Just a thought.

Between my wife and I we own 11 PVs and 2 USB pass-throughs. We're working on a rather large comparison, but we're waiting to receive the last two.
The Xhaler work perfect at 5V for me with 2 3V CR123A protected battery's and 801 connector with 801 to 510 adapter and a 510 atty bottom cap screwed all the way in. I like the Xhaler for 5V because it does not use a resistor so no parts on mod to go out and need replaced that I can see.
The Prodigy is a excellent 5V option it has a resistor and can be changed easy, the replacement resistors can be purchased through Puresmoker using a 801 atty you get a cool flavorful vape " the flavor pops"
The Detonator in 5V is also very good I have had mine for a few months and it is still a sweet vape ... It does have a resistor and once it goes out I will need to send it back to Robert to fix ... Its made like a tank! I like the on off switch on it for easy carrying.

there's also the puresmoker usb pt...vp usb passthrough is pretty new & it has an led, not that it matters much, i just like led's...i have not tried any higher volt mods, so i have no opinion or vote...gotta go, peace...
Well. the Prodigy was the clear winner, but apparently they don't make it anymore.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like neither the Prodigy V2 or the Protege run @ 5v.
