I love my 901s and I love my 510s both for different reasons. I have a stash of both attys, so I already have a PS PT with a 901 adapter so I ordered the Protege with the 510 adapter. It really depends on which attys you are stashing and building up, so if you like both, then ordered it with one adapter and order the other adapter separate, I think they are like 19.99 per adapter.

Protege is a 3.7 volt PV with roughly 900 maH. Battery is the size of a AA. Around 2-3 times the life of a 10440 (AAA sized) which is used in e-cigars and the Janty Stick and 4-5 times the life of your standard e-cig battery. I am a big fan of the high voltage PVs but am going with the 510 adapter as I feel that this atty provides the most throat hit at the lower voltage.

The Protege in theory would not be any different than your 510 as it is now, the advantage of this is that it will provide longer battery life.

I have adaptors for the Pass thru for a 901, 510 and M401. I like the 510 the most but I am pushing 5v though. But if I were to get the Protege I would go with the 510. That atty seems to put out the best throat hit and vapor. The 901 is a close second and the 401 is just not good at the higher voltages. The 401 has it's advantages also like you can get them for 7 bucks for singles. Like someone else said. It just depends on which atty you have lots of already. Once you have one of these battery mods your only expendable item then becomes the atty. I now only buy atties in 5 packs cause you can't really expect them to last more than a few weeks.
I think I have my preferences narrowed down to this. 801 on the Prodigy at 5v. the 510 on my PS Pass thru, and the 901 on my Screwdriver. If I were to get the Protege (which I probably will eventually) I would go for the 510.
Hope this helps. These are just my personal preferences. Yours may be different.

I ordered a Protege for use with the 510 attys.
It's a smaller unit than the Prodigy (which I also have) so it hopefully will be a little more work friendly. I run the 801's an the 510's on the Prod and think i like the 510's better. I've had a lot better luck, longevity outta the 510's. Realizing they pretty much all come from China, maybe the 510's are easier to make and therefore a little better made.

I dunno.... justa thought....

Nice looking pup Kellie....... :rolleyes:

I started with a 510 manual - great device.
for the past month or so, I've been using an 801 - it holds a lot more juice
so there's less topping off/fiddling.

ordered the protégé with the 801 adapter.

but... if you have a lot of 510 atty stash - it might be best to go with that - initially.
the beauty is, you can always try another adapter later.
