What PureSmoker Recommends, and what the Prodigy Platform was built to:

Battery Types:
3.7v = Tenergy 18650 -- 2400 mAh
6.0v+ = Tenergy RCR123a -- 750mAh
5.0v = Tenergy RCR123a -- 750mAh

Charger Types:
3.7v = Generic, also purchased through Tenergy
6.0v+ = Tenergy Specific for 750mAh
5.0v = Tenergy Specific for 750mAh

Hi guys. My name is Mike and I am new to vaping. I started about 2 weeks ago, and havent had an analog smoke ever since. I absolutely love it. Im feeling so much healthier and I am really enjoying it. I ordered a Prodigy 801 with a 901 adapter. I see the list of batteries I can use, but could someone tell me where I would be able to purchase them? I want to get every kind available right away so they are here before my Prodigy arrives. I am so excited.

Because I can't find a Tenergy RCR123a 5.0 V battery anywhere. I even looked on Tenergy's website. Am I loosing it or what?

There is no 5.0V Battery, Thats why they are pretty tough to find

If you ordered the 801 Kit, It includes four 3.0V 750mah Batteries and the proper charger. These are the only type batteries you will need if you plan on using the Prodigy at 5.0V's.
The Prodigy will regulate the voltage to ~5.0 Volts using two of the 3.0V 750 mah Batteries.

If you want some spares added to your Kit order they are listed here... PureSmoker.com - Your #1 Source For PV's, Parts, & Accessories! I'm sure if ya shoot Casey an email she can get some spares added to your order (saving you additional S&H)

If ya ordered the 801 Base kit and you dont have the correct batteries, I'd suggest ya ask Casey to change your order to a kit. Ya can't beat the deal PS is offering on the Kit if ya don't already own the batteries, charger and atomizer.

Hope that helps,

Mike

Steve or Strat or whoever may know.

I get lost trying to keep up with all the differant threads regarding battery charging/up-keep. I R hopeless in that respect.

Does the Prodigy come with battery instructions?
How long 1st charge, how long 2nd and so forth.

Do I trust the indicator light on the charger? KISS please, Yes or No

TIA, hope the thing gets here before the weekend!!!

Yeppers ... the Prodigy comes with instructions ... charging times, etc ...
and as near as I can tell so far ... the charger's green light seems to be in sync with recommended charging times ...

The initial charge is 3-5 hours after that its about 2 hrs. The batteries last me 6-7+ hrs of constant vaping. The prodigy instructions are really helpful and to the point not a long manual that is hard to read like some are. Its everything other models are not!
