Icon V1.1 or Prodigy V3.1

[bsampson]

I've been using an ego style battery for awhile now, and I feel like I want something similar to the puresmoker icon or prodigy, but I really can't decide. Has anyone used them both? I like TONS of vapor, and use BWB and AVE almost exclusively. Any help would be appreciated.

I have both. I love them both too. I'm also a backwoods brew fan. Ok here it is in a nutshell. The Icon is small and can do only 3.7 volts. The prodigy can do 3.7 or 6 volts and is bigger than the icon. I use bwb 306 lr attys at 3.7 volts and I'm pretty content.

If you want tons of vapor, I would go with the v3.1. With that, you couldmgo 3.7v or step up to 6v. Its like opeing up pandoras box though. I did fine with 3.7v for two months. Always felt i was missing something but couldnt put my finger on it. I tried 5v on a passthrough and now, I've sold off all my 3.7 stuff and had to replace it all with 6v. The flavor and throat hit on 6v is the closest I've had that resembles real tobacco smoke.

Thanks for the responses. I guess it would be better to go with the Prodigy. I know you have to use different resisted attys/carts, but you can step it up to 6v just by using different batteries, correct?

Yep different batteries for 6 volts. High voltage attys for 6 volts too. I vaped SR attys at 6 volts but I've wrecked a few. I got the prodigy first too. But I like 3.7 volts better so I got the Icon for a more compact PV. With a LR 306 atty I get about the same vapor. Hey maybe you will like 6 volts better. Who knows?

You probably can't go wrong either way. The Icon is fairly close in size to an eGo, but the Prodigy gives you that flexibility to vape at 6v if you choose. I only have the Icon, but I'm pretty sure the Prodigy is equally tough as well.

You ain't gonna go wrong with either of those

I have both. I was so impressed with the Icon I picked up a prodigy from the for sale forum. The P3 with the soft spring is amazing to me. It is literally effortless.
To switch between 3 and 6 volts is just a matter of adjusting the 2 piece delrin switch(it changes the throw of the contact screw).
I made a little stand so I don't have to worry about it rolling around or cooking a carto.
