Hey guys!
I just recieved a brand spankin new media blasted 6v kit. I LOVE this thing. The button is fantastic, the fit and finish is beautiful, the materials are top notch. To compare it, I have an old Xhaler that I got from a forum member here, a few hello16 batteries, and an E-Power kit. This is my first 6V device and I have only had it for a day but so far I am loving it. It is soooooo much better than any device I have used. Not just because Im vaping at 6V with a 3.2 ohm atomizer, but simply because the thing fires every time and just feels so sexy. It's a total pleasure to vape and impresses anyone who sees it.
In terms of reliability, I cannot obviously claim that itll work for years and years yet, but it seems to be the case. Compared to my Xhaler mod, the button is miles better, simpler, and more clever-er-er. The Xhaler requires me to push down the button as hard as I possibly can just to get maybe 70% reliability in vaping. Sometimes it fires, sometimes it weakly fires, sometimes it doesnt fire at all. It makes my Xhaler look and feel "ghetto" IMO. Also, gone are the days of cutoff times, inability to use atomizers under 2.5 ohms (like my epower, but thats probably more the batt than the switch) and the frustration of not knowing if itll work every time. I have only been using it for maybe 4 hours but already my atomizer is tasting clean and is broken in. When I was doing 3.7V, for whatever reason, I had a lot of trouble getting primer off the atomizers and maintaining a tasty vape. It seems that 6V is the sweet spot for 3-ish ohm atomizers and the vapor/flavor such a coctail produces is full, tasty, warm, with TONS of awesome vapor, even with my PG liquids.
The atomizer bundled with my V3.1 is amazing too. The primer was easy to get out, and it "just works" giving me a good balance between intensity and power draw. OHhhh man is this thing sweet.
Compared to my Xhaler, Epower, Hello016, and stock 510 battery, this thing destroys them all in every way. The design of the thing even makes me happy. It feels like a Macbook Pro compared to a bottom barrel PC laptop. I have nothing against windows, I have a desktop running it and have used M$ OSes since I was 7 yrs old, Im just talking about the subjective "user experience." It makes me feel fancy and high tech and gives me one of these every time I use it:

Also, the juice that came with it, Pure Smoker Tonic Hard Cider is a dream to vape. It tastes EXACTLY like the real thing and I dont use that term lightly. Although I do have some concerns with cinnamon essence in juices thanks to some threads on here claiming it melts plastics, Im gonna vape this bottle and be done with it... maybe. The juice is top notch guys.
Overall, I would give Pure Smoker, as a vendor a 5/5. It seems to be one of the most dependable vendors (so far, judging by my first order) in terms of the products they sell. Thier PVs are stellar, the atomizers they sell are awesome, and at least one of their juices are amazing.
Here are the numbers:
[Prodigy V3.1 6V Kit]
Fit/Finish: 9.5/10 - It's simply beautiful, everything threads nicely (not like my E-power squeakiness... god its awful) and the tube seems like it was designed especially for the batteries that I got. Just a tiny nitpick: the batteries jiggle ever so slightly.
Materials: 9.9/10 - Everything is solid and made of stainless steel. Not much in there to corrode or lose performance/luster over time. It's not 10 cause it's not made out of solid titanium for 85 bucks haha.
Switch: 9.5/10 - I dont quite have any complaints really, I love the simplicity and the action. It feels solid, the locking mechanism is great. No problems at all, fires every time so far.
Atomizer connection: 8.5/10 - Kinda different design from what ive seen before. I like that the holes of the atomizer are above the threads, so you dont have to line up the holes with cutouts like on all devices I have used so far. Only thing is that it may not work with all atomizers, but none of my devices Ive used have fit on everything under the sun, so it's almost expected but kinda a bummer that manufacturers can't have tighter tolerances or agree on what a 510 connection structurally looks like. I dig the juice well and the airflow.
6V vaping: 9/10 - I can see how people could easily pop attys with this thing. It makes the atomizer really hot if long drags are taken. Ihave been pulsing the switch and I dont need to activate it for more than a second or two. The battery hasnt quit yet.
Whole package: 9/10 - the packaging is nice but it doesnt come in a sexy box or carrying case, just a bunch of bubble wrap, kinda expected. The PV is awesome as is the atomizer that comes with it. Plus, I think most ppl get samples of juice, which is pretty sweet. The hard cider is kickass.
Thanks for reading my long ... post
