Hey HD ... The resistor we use is strong enough to withstand 3.7v batts all day long ... they are rated at 2W, and pull .5ohms from whatever the source may be. So, if you use 3.7v batts, it will still be regulated, just not down to 5-5.5v ...

And sure, you can use a 3.7v battery without issue. Regulated, it will drop roughly .5v ... Unregulated, it will stay at 3.6 - 3.7v under load (topping at 4.2v unloaded)

Hope that clears some things up :)

So the resistor will be fine, and Ill just be getting around 6.5 volts solid, as the resistor only drops .5 volts? Then I would be putting a heavy strain on the atomizers yes? I can order some 3 volts , isnt a big deal, just wanted to make sure Im getting this straight. Thanks Cash.

Not using a mouthpeice and vaping straight from the atty.

Lol I don't know something about that just seems dangerous with your mouth that close to an atty buy I just gave it a shot.

Actually what I just started doing is dripping into the back side of the mouth piece 3-4 drops and then popping it back on and it seems to work well.

Hey HD ... Yes, it will be putting the atty's through the ringer. It actually add's the resistance of .5 ohms ... So in essence, you will be dropping voltage by roughly 1-1.5v ... Hope that helps :)

Why not use the mouth piece without the cartridge in? Wouldn't it be pretty much the same?? Well, minus the hot metal and spitting juice.
Too funny!

Hey Closet ... I tailpipe it, for the sad fact I am too lazy to take the tip off ... I take 5-10 (4-5 second) draws, set it down for a few minutes, then pick up again. Metal gets warm but not hot, and I NEVER get liquid in my mouth ... Its an art :)

HOW are you not killing attys left and right (and your throat) with that vaping technique?!!

I was forced to learn how to keep atomizers from popping at the raw power of an untamed 6v+ :) Applying what I learned to 5v's and its a cinch ... That, and I pump liquid through it like no tomorrow ... 5ml daily, remember ;)

Yea that's what I'm wondering... I blew my first 901 today.

I need pay day to hit so I can get a stock of atomizer's going.

Even I don't go longer than 2-3 seconds on a 901 ... 801's ... I would say, average is about 5 seconds.

Plus, I take pretty good care of my atty's.
1) Clean the canal and adapter threads 4-5 times daily.
2) Blow out the atomizer about twice a day. Then refill with the freshness
3) Never let the atomizer get past warm.
4) Keep juice pumping through it, like blood in my veins ;)

I got my Prodigy on Friday afternoon and have never dripped before (my pen style instructions said not to). I have to say that the dripping on the Prodigy is da bomb! The taste is awesome, the vapor is warm and it seems like when I switch flavors, it comes through right away without the sometimes nasty taste of mixing flavors. I picked up my pen style this morning topped it off and took a drag and it seemed like I could taste something funky (the wool perhaps?) Anyways I'm sold and probably will not touch my other e-cig unless forced to! Thanks for such an awesome product!

I actually use 4-6 drops. 4 in a 901 and 6 in an 801.

Can I claim that I coined the term 'tailpiping?' I started using it months ago because when I did it it was like sucking on the tailpipe of my motorcycle. I think I may have once actually said I wanted to vape using my bike.

Oh well... that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hi, Walrus,

I remember that I first saw the term from you. I later quoted it and gave you proper credit for coining it. As far as I'm concerned, you are the owner and originator of the term "tailpiping."
 
I love this thread! I love to tailpipe and it's so good knowing it's more than OK to do it with the Prodigy. I do it with the Screwdriver and not sure if that's what's doing it, but I've killed so many atty's I lost count. Not sure what I'm doing wrong and Trog is DEFINITELY against tailpipeing and dripping. More than likely the Screwdriver isn't made for dripping, but I hate carts.

OK, that being said, I WANT my Prodigy, but I'll wait and be patient. After I get it, I just might have to get another one ;)
