It's here - Prodigy V2!

[j4g3rb0mb3d]

Arrived today with the PS logo.

For comparison's sake with the Protege, both devices have a BE-112 atomizer installed.

And the V2 by itself with a brass T-Tip

My Chuck 510 with the brass t-tip, V2 with the t-tip, and Protege with a 510

And now for the bad news:

My Tenergy RCR123A 900mah batteries (the blue ones) did NOT fit in the Prodigy. The Tenergy RCR123A 750mah LiFePO4 batteries (the orange ones) DID fit. The difference in diameter is all of 1/2 of a milimeter, but the blue ones did not fit. If you only have the blue ones, order some of the orange ones right now.

All in all, this is a great device. Feels very solid in the hand, compact, and NO mechanical switch issues. It comes with the longer switch post.

need a 510 atty shown here! those 801s make it look really long to me.

Do you have a Prodigy V1 how does it compare in vaping?

 

[cassavetes]

Much better looking than the V1 IMO.

 

[j4g3rb0mb3d]

I don't own the V1, but I can only assume that the V2 and the V1 with the 5v resistor vape the same.

In comparison to my chuck, this is a tad smoother because the V2 runs at 5v whereas the Chuck runs at 6V. 5V is definitely the sweet spot high-voltage vape.

I'll pass on a 510 at 5V. Too harsh.

Damn it looks great! Mines is coming tomorrow.

Since the Prodigy V2 is resistorless how the heck does it get down to 5 volts now?

Materials on the copper ring of the mechanical switch reduce the voltage

The switch for the Protege and Prodigy are the same right? So wouldnt that lower the Proteges voltage as well?

Looks pretty sweet with the brass T-Tip. I'll have to get a couple and some new 510 attys to go with it.

They are both the same switch more or less, but im not sure if the Protege has the same materials that the V2 has. Even if it did, the switch would allow any volt between 0 and 5 pass through. It restricts anything greater than 5V to 5V.

Nice Pics Jager!

The contact disks are different between the Protege and Prodigy. Protege one is made out of copper, where as the Prodigy one is not ... its made from a different material.

The material on the Protege switch is plain old copper. The material on the V2 is undisclosed.

That happened to me once...It was late...I was drunk...

My Chuck might get retired from high voltage vaping duties and strictly relegated to situations that require long term 3.7v vaping, courtesy of my 3000mah batteries for it.

I'm loving the .... out of my V2. 5ml's of juice vaped in 2 hours LOL.

 

[GreyHawk]

Quite a few Chicago residents vaping their V2's eh? Looks good for me for tomorrow I guess. Now to make sure the wife charges the batteries while I'm at work...

 

[CaSHMeRe]

NICE Jager ... Keep her lubed up and she'll keep you happy I go through about 5-6ml myself everyday

 

[j4g3rb0mb3d]

Hey Angus,

Here's a pick of my Chuck 510 with the brass t-tip, V2 with the t-tip, and Protege with a 510.

Thank you Steve. It would of drove me nuts if nobody could give me a valid reason and jst left me hanging.
