Could The Chuck possibly be more of a ripoff of the Prodigy?

Look at the adapter, for pete's sake. He didn't even try to hide his plagiarism.

Definately not a product that i would buy... Im puresmoker or nothing. One and only thing i like about it is the bigger thread pitch on the bottom cap. Other than that its too big and the exposed switch would cause havoc in my pocket.... Ill pass

Anything made is just a place to hold batteries. And Switches. Some more than others

The Chuck is a badass PV and saying they ripped off someone- well that just don't seem right- tube and switches

 

[Yirabeth]

Hmm... it's longer, still too big around for the batteries (that's for the customization of voltage though) the switch sticks out and is non user replaceable. The different colors isn't such a big deal, it'll just chip off like my black one is doing now...End cap is nice, though.

Guess I'll wait for the SS version of the Prodigy With luck it'll come with a spacer so my batteries don't rattle around OR I'll figure out a good way to stop that on my own.

Some people just have to have every mod out there, and that's fine, I just have less money than most and I'll stick with the one that looks more professional and has replaceable parts so I won't be outta business if something goes wrong. Cheaper to have a switch on hand if needed than to be out of warranty and need a whole new PV.

All mods are only different variations on the very first modders idea for bigger battery PV's. It's a matter of making your choice from all the different variations.

Of "coarse" it is.

don't most flashlights look the same ?? there's a reason for that..they all do the same thing.

how different can you make a tube and end cap and a recessed atty connection.

now make an ecig with a built in MP3 player..now that would be innovation

 

[JerriB]

All of them are pretty much the exact same thing...I like the chuck, Its personalized for me, and I know for a fact it was made just for me. And the guy that makes it isnt an ... like Imeo...They are all almost the same, boo-hoo. Pick your fave and move on, dont bash like a baby.

 

[Zofryer]

The chuck is as much a ripoff of the prodigy as the prodigy is a ripoff of the GG using that logic. Or simply put, I don't think it's a ripoff at all. Way too many differences. Soap bubbles become a shape because of their environment. Long cylindrical battery holders are going to look similar even if they are constructed completely different from different materials.

That would be the Janty Cameo.... It's stupid

Im glad Im not the only one that thinks that!!!

Ahh folks....ApOsTle51 was being sarcastic when he made his comment about making an ecig with a MP3 player. That's why he put the 'sarcastic' smiley after his comment.

I think my PV is different- The only PV I've seen that has 2 switches and works at 3.7volts, 6 volts or 5 volts with an inline voltage regulator. So to do that with a Protege I think you have to spend three time as much and carry an extra switch in you pocket. I also make em' in cool colors- if you want to learn how to make your own PM me.

You most definitely aren't. I liked the JS concept enough to have bought one of 'em, but the Cameo .... what on earth were they thinking? Or more annoyingly, what were they thinking about us?

A threaded tube is a threaded tube, can't get much simpler. I don't know if the Prodigy was the first one with the switch where it should be or not, but if so, Steve gets credit there.

I wish Steve would rip-off the guy who designed the side by side flashlight. It was a brilliant design - two cells side by side made a tidy package and I don't know why it wouldn't work for a PV. Machining would be much more complex though, and design would have many issues to over come so price would go up. So, back to the threaded tube. Or not, what would people pay for 5V with twice the runtime in a smaller package?

I like the functionality ...but come on the thing looks like a Russian assault tank.

It does really? I love the way it look- but then again I like tanks!

It's hard as hell to make- I got togo find a nice tube- with some shinny metal- don't forget the mag wheel polish and the rubber gloves........................lol

 

[quovadis]

Actually,
on second thoughts, you would have to add little wheels to it.
I will take it back.

It looks like one of those world war one German grenades..
But you would have to hold it the atty side and throw it.

Do you mean like this mod?

 

[fjames]

I don't keep up at all with the mods, but that looks like a duel atty mod?

Here's a few pics of the light I was talking about. It's a work of art, so wouldn't expect that level of craftsmanship, but you get the form factor. The atty would go where the reflector is, and the switch where, well, the switch is. It takes 2x123 cells, so another 15mm to get two 14500, and they're 2mm less circumference than the 123 cells.
