also try pealing the plastic on the bottom of the batterys then you dont have to worry about if they move inside.

I had a sticky switch too and killed a couple of attys. The sticky switch is really easy to fix. Just pop out the switch housing and file off any plastic burrs with sandpaper. It just takes a few minutes. Mine works really well now. Check out the instrucitons, you might be able to use your Prodigy until the new switch comes.

Horrible Prodigyness keeps on comin'. Started as I said in the OP, now for some reason my adapter won't even screw on properly, it gets about halfway and brings up solid.

Didn't drop it, didn't screw it on too tight, didn't do anything you're not supposed to do (after all I had to wait about a month for it to get here, so in that time I looked up plenty of do's and dont's people were posting).

So far I'm sad to say that the Prodigy has been my worst E-cig experience.. Too bad it was also my most expensive.. And since the adapter won't even go on anymore, I suppose my.. less than a week with an even partially working Prodigy has come to an end.

just a quick note for when ive experienced times when my prodigy stoped working or droped in performance quite a bit. What ive noticed is that sometimes the contact point between the adapter and switch assembly becomes disconnected or has some sort of slight oxidation buildup. Ive found the easiest way to fix this was just to unscrew the adapater about 3 turns or so and rescrew it back down to make the contact slightly different then what it had been before thus renewing the connection.
Its worked wonders for me on the few occsions when ive had something go wacky.
Also sometimes I dont think the battery charger from tenergy is the best in the world someone else suggested pulling out the negative contacts a lil bit to make sure they make proper connection and i think thats a valid thing to check too.
Ive noticed sometimes when i put in the batterys that the light will stay green ...at that point i just usually roll the batterys around in the charger till the light turns red and it usually charges them properly.

I can't remember who suggested it to give credit, but I've been mashing the heads of Q-Tips flat with a pair of pliers, then using that to get the reservoir. Works friggin awesome. I'd imagine there are lots of ways to mash a Q-Tip flat also. High heel and a rock, two bricks, etc.

Just before I had scrolled down and read the above, I'd gotten out my Q-tips and thought, "hmmmm, this won't work, the Q-tip won't fit in here", so I put them away.

Then I scroll down and as always Zo, you're right on time! If you're as young as you look in your picture, then I think maybe I can adopt you, you're always on time for me. Do you need a mom? Maybe even a grandmom? :D

Don't underestimate the importance of taking your atty off every once in a while and wiping the adapter down. It's easy to get a little liquid on it since we have to keep the Prodigy wet. Every now and then I take it off, wipe it off (usually with my shirt... the wife hates that) and put it back on. Once or twice a day I'll get in there good with the corner of a folded paper towel. I'll also wipe out the connection end of the atty. That's solved a lot of the problems for me.

Guys, I got my Prodigy last week. Don't know what is wrong... It works, but I can hardly see any vapor when I exhale... I have expected to see TONS, but it is barely there...
Also blew 4 atty's in a first couple of days =( I am not saying it is badly constructed, just trying to understand what is wrong =(
Which atomizers are you using?

Also, how much liquid do you use? How many drops? How many puffs does it give you?
Anyone used it with a cart?

Thanks for your help

the flat qtip works like a charm...haven't seen vapor like this since my first drag on the prod (3 days ago).

Thanks for the tip!!
