Ok...so, Chameleon VS. Protege

[Bella Chic]

Ok guys. I'm like 99.9% sure which mod I want and this thought popped in my head. Does anyone have both the Chameleon and the Protege? If you do could you post a side by side picture of them both and tell me the differences in your opinion.

This is a big step for me and I might even purchase both of them in due time but I just thought it would be nice to be able to compair the two and I hope I have not offended either company by doing so, I would just like to know the difference is all. Thank you all for helping me, I really appreciate it and could not have come this far without all the great info here and all the answered questions.

I've never even heard of the Chameleon! Lots of new PV's out there I guess.

The Chameleon is a very nice looking new mod from Ikenvape.

Personally, I'd go with the "Bartleby". It's cheaper ($50+shipping) has a usb charging ability that doubles as a pass-through, you can get I believe a 901 or 501 model, uses a 14500 trustfire battery (you get 2), gives you a big plume of vape, and is U.S. made.
Check out the Barlteby preview/review thread.

Just to avoid confusion I'll point out that Ikenvape is currently closed for vacation (back on 1/17/2010). Though I do wish he'd left the website pics/info viewable all that info can be found on these forums.

I really don't want a box mod but it is pretty cool. My mod will be going out with me when I'm out and about and I'd prefer something cylindrically shaped, not box shaped, but thanks for sharing that with me.

Thanks for pointing that out nekk, I ment to but forgot. They are on vacation. Hope they are havin a great time!

 

[rfun6]

I have only the protege and I love it !! Fits in my hand and looks sweet !

 

[RatRacer]

I'm vaping a Chameleon currently, patiently waiting for my Chuck to arrive. Any questions you want answered? Also have a VP2 that is similar to the Protege.

 

[Bella Chic]

Thanx rfun6. I like your avatar.

What atty are you using on your Chameleon RatRacer? I can't wait to get one of these, I'm really excited!!!

 

[Bella Chic]

I knew it would be difficult and I very well may just find a way to get both of them. I know that both Steve and Isaac are great guys because they have both helped me out with questions I have and both of there mods look so well made.

It was suggested to "go with what feels right" and that totally made the decision for me right there!

FINAL ANSWER: The Chameleon will be my first mod unless I can purchase both the Chameleon and the Protege or the V2 (hehe) on the same day

Thank you everyone for all your help and input, it has been very much appreciated!!!

Since it comes with connectors to cover 510/801/901/KR808 atty's, it has been experiment heaven. I'm currently running a 510, but it's split 50/50 with the 801.

 

[Bella Chic]

That's what I really like about the Chameleon, all the adapters. I bet it has been experiment heaven indeed. I just have the 510, and I really enjoy it but will be getting an adapter and carts from Rob at GoodProphits from a free wining I had the other day so that ought to be pretty fun to toy around with and then use with the Chameleon. So, do you get better vapor and taste...I really can't wait to experience this, can ya tell??? lol.

I got a pack of cartos and adapters from Rob to try. The 16340 battery keeps the 510 atty hitting like a fresh stock batt for hours consistantly, lots of vape and flavor. The 801 is just a longer batt life advantage taste and vape wise (will be relegated to Chuck at 6v). The carto, I'm not sold on just yet. The carto is a really warm vapor, but a lot less vapor and carto gets really warm on my hits. But good flavor RY4, minimum TH.

There are a couple vids here to watch for the Chameleon.

How about the Janty EGO? I just ordered it, and it is getting excellent reviews. I ordered it for that reason but also because it just looks damned elegant. Janty USA - USA SHOP || Shipping in USA

Hi,
I have looked at almost every mod out there and have always come back to the Protege. I ordered my Protege's on monday 1/11/10 and received them today 1/14/10. My 2 cents PS makes the nicest mods out there!

Here is someone collection of mods with both not together:

Looking at the Chameleon even though it is nice and has all the connections, I didn't like the 510 adaptor seemed a little long.

I love my new Protege it's SWEET! And for $21 you can get another adaptor top.
