Dripping with the Prodigy

[Mikie Likes It]

Steve its working fantastic now, I think I just wasn't vaping it consistently enough. Once I got home I kept doing how you said. 4-5 drops, got between 6-8 puffs, add 4-5 drops and so on. I did not put it down from 6pm to 12:30am, I vaped myself to sleep with a smile on my face. I actually fell asleep with it, and woke up in the middle of the night with it poking in my side. Very nice work Puresmoker. I think my search for the best e cig is over!! Until your next release..... Thanks man.

Amen to that, Mikie!

Ok, you guys need to help me out now. I want to buy me one of these things but you
guys are scaring me away because your dripping instead of filling carts. Im a truck
driver and I cant drip in the truck driving down the road bouncing around like a bobble head. Theres no way I can hit that tube and count my drops so I got a few questions:

1: Which is the best prodigy to get if you had to fill carts?

2: Should I buy one if I had to fill Carts?

3: Some say the carts dont empty completely Is that true?

4: Im looking for a good consistant big hit. Is that possible with a cart setup?

I will probibly end up getting all the adapters for it so thats not a problem. I am currently running a vx2 and an M401 updated model. so what do you think?
Thanks Nthstar.

I think the Prodigy will work just fine with carts. However, I think you're going to run into a problem eventually with finding replacment carts that fit whichever atomizer you're using. It seems like every penstyle atty has different cart and they don't work well when mixed and matched.

Yes, carts hold liquid that never gets used. The only way to get it all out is to take out the polyfill and squeeze it out. I think dripping gets you the most out of your liquid, but I understand why you cant do it in that big truck.

My advice would be to do both. Use carts when driving and drip when you're not.

I know that most everyone commenting about Prodigy is dripping and that seems to be the preferred method to use it. I was expecting that I'll have to switch to dripping when I got the Prodigy few days ago, but surprisingly the thing works just fine for me using cartridges. I haven't been dripping at all.

I am using the 510 adapter and topping off the cartridge (set up with the straw modification). When I top off, I am able to get in 8-10 drops of liquid. This seems to work for me, but everyone has a different style of vaping.

The 801 would hold much more liquid, but I don't have that adapter yet. If I needed to use carts without much topping off I'd probably go for that. The only problem for me is that I was never able to get a good throat hit with 801, or at least not anything near what I get from 510. But that may be different when 801 is attached to the Prodigy.

Does anybody know, are there certain brands or types of liquid that do not work well with the Prodigy, meaning bad for the atomizers, and does it matter PG vs VG?

 

[Nthstar]

Thanks Curtis and Sar. I wonder does the VX2 Carts work with any of the adapters?

Northstar,

My biggest reason for switching to dripping (all of a couple of days ago), was that I got tired of the mess and bother of filling, topping up, cart-modding, washing out, and restuffing carts. I just enjoy the simplicity of dripping, especially sitting at my desk. I have also dripped at 55-70 mph on the straightaways (car, not bike).

That being said, I still might plan on using carts from time to time. I have used 801 straw-modded carts on the PD and they worked well. The straw-mod helps the fluid flow on 801 carts, but it makes them very easy to over-fill and get all drippy. I always used carts on my 510, but haven't had the chance yet to try out much 510 action on my Prodigy.

Dripping is a preference, not a requirement, with any PV, the Prodigy included.

Hope this helps...

I'm just the opposite. I can't be bothered with taking off carts and messing with bottles every few minutes. And dripping while driving is just nuts.

+1... Walrus was the first I recall coining the term also.

BTW... Had an idea for tailpipin' but haven't tried it yet...
Has Anyone tried dipping the mouthpiece end of thier Atty in the rubber coating for hand tools? Plasti Dip – Protective Rubber Coating Products – Plasti Dip International
I bet it would make Tailpipin' alot easier on the lips and teeth and probably be a great insulator against the heat of the atty... I might still have some in the shop. Gonna give it a try , will post results.
Would be way cool if the "soft tail" actually was removable after drying so you could just slide it onto the next atty. Definitley worth some testing

Now that's an idea!

Long drives I've been using the 801 PD with carts. Since PS doesn't have carts available ATM you will need to find someplace with carts that will work with the PS attys or just get attys and carts from somewhere else. You can PM me if you need a suggestion.

You can have pre-loaded carts ready to swap or mount a little container in your truck with liquid in the bottom and a couple loaded carts filling side down. When you need to top off, just swap carts. If you're using the cup, put the one needing topped off in the cup to renew it and take out another. I prefer the cup as then I don't have to fiddle with little cart tops or anything. Pop one off and another on. Just make sure you are holding onto the atty when you pull the used cart off so it doesn't come apart.

You can also load up a few attys with carts and just screw on and off a whole new one as the used ones renew slightly after a rest.

The cup works well with 801s/901s/510s, but I prefer the 801s as they have a longer initial run and the whistle tips coupled with the bigger size make for easy mindless grab and swap. All my 901s/510s have the straw mod, my 801s are mixed either straw mod or pinhole. HTH.

Thanks you guys,Dont get me wrong. I can fill a vx2 cart while driving the filters are clear and stick out of the cart so you can see what your doing.Hell I can eat a plate
of spaghetti and drive that truck,but hitting a 3/8s hole with 4 or 5 drops may be tough.
The pie hole,no trouble.

I can't stress enough how great the BestEcig carts and BE112 atomizers are on the prodigy. Not the best drippers, but for carts I don't think there's a better fitting cart/atty combo right now.

Zof,

Just curious, why do you find the BE112's to be not the best drippers? I'm still burning on a janty 801 on my PD, and haven't had to chance to try out a BE112 on it yet.

Also, exactly which cart do you use with the BE112? Is it the one with the hard plastic mouthpiece, with *no* ridges/corrugations on the black plastic rim that mates with the atty? I suffer from no end of confusion with all the flavors of 801 attys and carts floating around out there (and I think I own all of them).

A couple of months ago I was looking at how to find independent replacement parts for every aspect of my ecig units. One of the odd things I discovered is that if you replace the wooly stuff in cartridges with fiber that is 60% Alpaca and 40% Wool, the liquid more fully wicks out and empties to the atomizer than whatever the fiber content is that normally sold in cartridges. My favorite fluid is Johnson Creek non-PG, Zero Nicotine, but I do have Kick that I use occassionally, but only enough to say that the Alpaca blend works as well as the standard fiber with Kick.

The pit fall to this is that unless you are a crafter or quilter, it's ridiculous to think that you would buy $70 worth of batting, roughly 90" X 72" to get 3/8" X 1" worth of batting to stuff a pen tip cartridge. But, a retail supplier of ecig material might want to think about something like that. And of course, the end user can check around for friends and family members that use batting for their craftworks.

TAILPIPING - the way to go! Just been trying it for the past few minutes. Whoa!

Thanks for the tip!

I've been dripping with an 801 atty (Janty currently) on the Prodigy for just a few days, and am enjoying the experience immensely.

However, I often unscrew the atty to check the adapter post underneath, and frequently find fluid leaking under there. Am I over-dripping to cause this leakage, or is this just a normal effect of dripping with an 801?

I find this to happen with my 801s often Enfield. Still haven't perfected the drip but I've found that lying the prodigy on it's side in between vapes helps A LOT!

Thanks, Fusoya.

Yeah, I've always laid her on the side between tokes.
I think I was just in the habit of that with 801's since my Janty Stick was incapable of being stood on its end.

I'm trying out one of my needle-tipped bottles today. We'll see if five drops out of a needle-tip leaks less than 3 drops out of a regular dropper.

All of this learning sure is fun...

Not sure why I haven't ever experienced any leaks with my 901, not sure if it's because it's a 901, the way I'm dripping or I just got a darn good unit, knock on wood and thank the good Lord, but thus far and I've been vaping I think over a week now on this, and all is good.
