I have quickly determined that regular 510 batteries would be insufficient for realistic vaping purposes, even if they are the TW extended ones. Hence, a battery mod is the only solution and I chose Protege because of the size, battery life and great reviews.
The other devices I see mentioned look like great devices and it sounds like they all work excellent, it's just, the size of the Protege is what got me; the portability and the fact it looks less like some kind of illegal paraphernalia for when I whip it out (the vaping device) on some street corner and start huffing away.
Of course a monster for home/office use would be nice, but in that case it might as well have dual atty's attached.
Yes I realize it's just a battery box and a switch, and I could likely pry the connector off an old battery and wire one up to a small flashlight with household parts, etc, though it would be not nearly as elegant of a design, and besides, I have more important things to do - such as vape different flavor combinations and rave on internet message boards about the joys of vaping.
I missed the price change waiting for the 510 adapters, but one has to think that the price must have been too low in the first place, perhaps the initial demand was underestimated. It seems like a chunk of change for one device but since I'm otherwise going to be buying a boatload of regular batteries, a device such as the Protege would be more cost effective. I still ordered some more regular batteries just to tide me over during the wait time.
