Got My Protege But Question!

[LuckySevens4U]

Okay, GOT IT. LOVE it. It's gorgeous and sturdy and VERY nice. Just got it.

Here's the deal. Got the 510. My 510 attys do not work on it. How do I adjust the pin? What do I do? I'm sure that is the problem. I have no clue how to do this.

Secondly, protected battys are an EXTREMELY tight fit. I have 2 that work and 2 more that I got, both from Deal Extreme, and the 2nd 2 that I have do NOT work in it at all and are also even TIGHTER. They won't work in it. All four are the blue 14500 Trustfires, same scew number, just ordered at different times. Crap.

So first step is to figure out how to adjust this adapter so my 510 will work on it. What does a stupid person with this need to do? LOL

Help please.

i cant really help with this, but i am using a 510 also and i am loving it... had no problems except for letting the batteries fully charge and now im vaping away loving the protege, gonna use my prodigy the rest of the night because its still the king, but i will use the protege through out the day when i run errands,,, i hope someone is able to help you

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Nope none of my 510s work on it at all. HOWEVER, I have a 901 to 510 adapter thing and I put the PS 901 adapter on it and then connected my 510 to THAT and it works, but it will not work alone with the 510 atty itself like it should.

So I need help here on how to fix this. I know there is a fix we can do with the pin on our end, from reading about the Prodigy, but I just don't know what or how to do it.

Kitty should be same as prodigy.

[LuckySevens4U]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh I can't do this! lol

 

[M3Tyler]

Probably a dumb question, but I assume you ordered the 510 adapter? Perhaps they sent you the 901 on accident considering your 901-510 adapter works?

 

[LuckySevens4U]

No, it's definitely a 510. My husband is toying with it now, but he's stupid too. LOL He got the center thing totally out. I don't think he knows what he is doing. eeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk

 

[TDM]

Calm Kitty.... Breath in...... Breath out...... Just remembers men are very handy!! We can fix ANYTHING! If he doesn't fix it. Just remember it didn't work anyway

 

[keyzygirl]

That is so scary!!I hate when my hubby does that.Just hold your breath and wait.

 

[TDM]

Would have actually been better not to give him instructions..... Men work better without instructions.

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Correct, TDM and he refused to look at the instructions just like a man. lol Well if he can't fix it, I'm just gonna have to ask Steve for another and send this one back. He'll take care of me.

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Now I have other 510's working on it, but these 2 will not work on it and they work fine on everything else. Strange. I tested it with a bunch of the others I have that are brand new and it works, but it won't work with these 2 that I've been using.

This Protege is definitely gorgeous and very nice. Just a few minor things, like the part where the button is on the corners, very sharp. Wonder if that could be sanded with something? Also the batty issue too with using protected ones and the inconsistency in what China sends. Some of the protected battys will not fit in it nor work.

Tell hubby corners are sharp. Belt sander should do the trick. Maybe a really big file

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Oh gawd. lol Scary. Well wow, you guys should see these trust fire battys and the difference size. One batch is taller than the batch that works. SAME brand Trust fire, the blue ones, same place. Soooooo I guess we can expect some major inconsistencies on the protected batty sizes.

 

[LuckySevens4U]

I sanded the corners myself with a rough nail file. lol Wow, I did something. lol I see how easy it would be to replace the switch too! I think I will need to order the stainless steel 901 adapter too because Steve is right, the aluminum one from the PT is too soft and could get stripped really easily. The Protege is definitely a solid, classy device and everything I expected and hoped for. I like the stainless steel. I like the way it can stand up too. It will be very easy and discreet to carry around. Love the size. I'm still confused why some 510s work and others don't. However, when I started going through all my spares, they all seemed to work, so I guess that's all that matters. Just can't use these 2 I have. Now the protected batty issue. Stupid China!

Good looking out TDM. Sometimes women just don't understand how we are wired!

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Oh trust me, I understand, and it ain't purdy.

 

[Casey@PS]

Hey Lucky,

Some 510s have different length threads, thus sometimes the adapter is too long to reach and make contact. Here's how to fix it:

Flip the adapter over (with the side that touches the switch contact facing up)
Gently tap the center post down (slowly and do NOT slice the black delrin!!)
Try again, and see how it goes. You may have to try a few times to get it the right height.

Hope this helps!!

you mean the actual post ON the protege itself?
