Is there a 510 "package" in the offing?

    After all that's been covered on the 510, being a juice hog & attys running hot. I have to wonder about the Prodigy & making the 510 adapter.
    Seems to me that extra power would be really hard on the attys since they run hot already & you'd be topping off every other drag.

    Also, why would you need a USB bypass with this workhorse?
    Your thoughts

    Different strokes for diff folks. I don't find my 510s a juice hog, just that it doesn't drain it's cart fully, like most e-cigs. The adapters are basically for 'what floats your boat.' Some of us have a dozen, two, or more of a specific atomizer, and it makes a lot more sense to 'use what you've got,' especially compared to the price of atomizers vs a $30 or so adapter.

    Fully charged e-cig batteries and similar run > 4vDC off the charger (~4.2v), so a move to 5vDC isn't as 'tough' as moving to 6/7/higher. There is no passthrough for the Prodigy; it's a different device. It runs at 5vDC as well, but is unlikely to be able to flow the current the Prodigy will, as USB2 is technically limited to '5 load units,' at 100mA each, or ~500mA. Some powered USB hubs or power supplies go higher. Batteries for the Prodigy can actually supply the current the unit's components would take electrically, without the power limitations of USB ports. Having said that, most passthroughs out there today are indeed 'straight-through,' meaning they are 5v (no load). The PureSmoker PT is just meant to last more than a week or so :)

    If you don't like carts, then just drip - the Prodigy and PT are sealed devices.

    In general, a better battery alone = better vaping, more consistency, etc, like a new battery on far longer number of drags. Increased voltage a bit = more vapor, better throat hit.

    Somewhere in there is in theory, and maybe different for each atomizer, 'a sweet spot,' or compromise, where the atomizers don't see significantly reduced life, but battery life as well as vapor production and throat hit is good.

    I'm not sure if that helps, if you have no real interest, or... ?

    Thanks Wegster,
    That answered my question & I am interested,maybe too much so. I find myself spending way too much time here.

    As far as the bypass, I've digested so much info in the last month of this forum & related sites, I get a little confused sometimes.
    Thanks again,
    NB

    The 510 Prodigy's are up for sale on the site and I ordered it without even thinking about it:thumbs: I can always get the 901 adapter if the 510 atty runs to hot.....Now I'll just sit and wait patiently for my 510 PT and Prodigy to find their way to me:pop:
    At least I have my 510/M to keep me satisfied until my order arrives...

    #17264 (510 PT)
    #17374 (510 Prodigy)

    This was another great day:)

    Excellent! I'm in for the 510 Prodigy at 17380. Thanks Steve! Boy, I'm glad I started this thread. :thumbs:

    You may be ahead of me by 6 on the Prodigy, TK-4261, but I've got you by 78 on the PT. :p

    I'm glad you started this thread too........Its all worth the wait:D

    I know this up probably up in 50 different places on the forum but what's the difference in the smoke on an 801 and 510. I'm trying to decide on whether to go for the adapter or not.

    The 510 packs a wallop for it's size, but the 801, imho, produces the best bang-for-buck vapor out there. The only difference is the size of the atty... the 801 is a penstyle so gonna be bigger and cook more juice.

    Moved from the "Steve-only Shipping" thread.

    I've gone from an 801 to 901 to a 510. I initially thought using a 510 through a PS PT would be too much, so i bought a bunch of generic 801 attys just for this order..although i did buy a 510 adapter just in case.

    I always thought that if an 801 was pumped up, it would be a perfect hit. I can't wait to see how it will perform on the PT

    I'm in the same boat, Skeptah. I use both my 510 and my 801 (on a Janty stick) side by side, and enjoy both. I ordered the Prodigy 801 full kit plus a 510 adapter (order #17048). If I had to pre-commit myself to one, just on a gut feeling, I would bet that I'll be vaping the Prodigy most with the 801. I have bought a bunch of BE112 attys from bestecig, and although I have yet to break one out, I have heard *very* good things about them.
