Really? you should give it some time.

DOnt be over optimistic like me.8-o

Wake up an dont be a ps noob.

That's OK. I've had protoge for over a month, mech switch works fine. Hell, I went and got the O ring because of all the posts, not because I needed it.

it's a simple button with a spring, I don't see how everyone gets "inconsistencies". But that is just me.

Same here. I've had my Prodigy V1 since August, no problems what so ever. I did buy a replacement switch anyway since they aren't making them anymore. USB Passthrough since July no problems. Got my Protege in October I believe, again no problems. I'm still using the original tach switch, works just great. I did buy a mech switch just in case though. I got the V2 in December and it's worked beautifully since I first fired it up. I did take out the switch just to check it out after reading about all the problems people were having with theirs. Doesn't seem to hard to figure out or work on if problems do arise in the future. I can't believe I haven't had any problems, I rarely luck out on anything.

Glad to hear all you folks have been so lucky!

Same here for the Prodigy V1 and the original passthrough.

Prodigy had to go back once for repair, now working well.

V2 in the shop now.

The best thing is that if you do have a problem the PS folks do go all out to get it fixed.

I have two V1s with the original tact switch, first run batch. Never had a problem with the switch on either of them. The switch on my V2 works well, though occasionally I feel the need to wiggle the switch some while presing it to get a better contact. Personally I prefer the original tact switch, but admire the simplicity of the new switch. Not much to go wrong there.

I am with ya'll, no problems for me on my V2 or Protoge!!

 

[FrogHat]

None here either............

 

[Cherice]

Me either

 

[JDSupreme]

I rolled the little posts so the flat end's not up....no more problems here. And I gave up on carts altogether, dripping and cartos only

My V2 is also fine so far (3 days)with the exception of having to press the switch to hard to make it activate? I have to read up some more..

 

[athlon14]

Very happy with my V2, over a month

I'm on my second day with my new V2. I must say that it wasn't ready out of the box, I was getting inconsistant hits. After reading here, I decided to try the o-ring and Naolox. This worked but required a hard press. I then tried rotating the contacts to rounded sides, but this caused things to get worse for me, so I rotated them back.

After doing all of this, I am able to get it to fire now, but again, have to press pretty hard. The rear battery spring also came off. It only took a few minutes of tinkering to get it back on.

I will say that I am a little disappointed, but the design does allow it to be easily worked on. I am going to run with this for a couple of more days and reserve final judgement.....

 

[New_World]

mines great. maybe lucky?

its always been perfect.
but I do take care of it.
i dont throw it around.
i use noalox and brasso.

mech switch on protege was fine until i broke o-ring.

i bought some orings and its flawless.

I use my protege every day...been usin for months and months. and i chain vape

It was my 1st PV and last. I don't own a backup. prob not smart.... but I don't care. snus will have to work as my backup if it dies.

I've tired a few other PV's but my protege is my fav so far.

 

[thomas_mikel]

We have two V2's and a Protege. No problems whatsoever with any unit. They have all 3 been heavily used since their arrival and they work perfectly.

 

[thomas_mikel]

Just out of curiosity, are the switches interchangeable?

 

[FrogHat]

Just out of curiosity, are the switches interchangeable?

My understanding is......................yes

 

[Casey@PS]

Just out of curiosity, are the switches interchangeable?

Not between the V2 and the Protege.

I don't think anyone with a working V2 is lucky, I just think the ones with issues are more vocal.

About a month now and mine is and has been perfect.

That's true on any forum.
