Another bit of advice about the charger saying your batteries are ready: grab the negative contacts on the charger and gently pull them out a bit. Those Tenergy LiFePO chargers are notorious for that; the contact gets pushed in and doesn't make full contact with the battery. So you might not be getting a full charge. I do that on mine every month or so just to make sure.

I know what I can do after this. If the 6v is too much for me, and the 3.7 not enough for you, we can swap.

:laugh:

I think a multi-meter is a very good idea for troubleshooting battery and atomizer issues. It works on them both.

That's a good idea! haha I'll probably pick up a multi-meter eventually too...

Before you buy those 25 BE112's you should experiment with different ohm ratings. It would be bad to spend all that money on ones that don't work well with the Prodigy. :D

Ah........thanks so much, Greg! Will do.

Autumn ... no need to spend $15+ on a multimeter when you just need basic stuff.

grab this $5 dollar one from harborfreight. we have a couple of these around the office, plus a more expensive unit. these are equally as good for stuff you'll be using it for the ecig.

7 Function Digital Multimeter and you can likely go and pick one up locally. I used to live in SoCal and there was a harbor freight in Woodland Hills off Victory.

hope you guys enjoy your V3's :)

Indeed I am staying home, but aside from the weather, I had another good excuse. :)

Well, I've got a buncha stuff to do around here before the bf gets home. He has a big white cockatoo who throws food all over the place, and is currently screaming at the top of his lungs and distracting me anyway. Brat.

SlomChom.........I hope you enjoy your Prodigy. Can't wait to read your review! Not sure if you're into taking and posting photos, but please do so if you have the means! I'd really like to see your setup.

:)

Ok, finally tried it out...

Current setup: Prodigy v3.1 at 3.7v with a LR Boge Cartomizer

All I can say is "wow"! This thing is amazing! I've been trying my different eliquids and it feels like I'm vaping them for the first time. I can taste every element of flavor in my eliquids now... Now I know how they truly taste. The Prodigy v3.1 supplies plenty of TH can vapor too! It's definitely a huge improvement over my eGo. :D

This Prodigy works so well that I think I need to step down to 18 or 12mg nic... After a short vape session, I've got a bit of a nic buzz going on. lol

Autumn, I'll take pics later tonight. :)

Dude, I think it's waiting for me, but I haven't checked...........your impression of 3.7v scared me, lol.

:laugh:

Haven't checked??? I thought you were excited to try it, but I guess not. :p haha

Don't be scared! Besides, I'm using LR cartos with my 3.7v, which makes it feel more powerful. lol 6v with the right ohms should be great. :D

Slomchom i think you scared Autumn lol...glad yours came today...you both were talking about drip tips, after many months of using a regular drip tip i ordered one of puresmokers zip tips with my pv, its shorter and i like it better than the bigger one...

I didn't mean to scare anyone... lol. I'm used to low power PVs, so this new one feels pretty powerful. :D

I do plan on buying one or two of those ZipTips; they look really nice!

Julep..........this bird is insane. We nicknamed him Pazuzu. We're looking at puppies, and can't wait for the real fun to begin.
