Pen Prodigy and a Mini USB Pass

[panderson01]

If I purchased a Pen Prodigy and a Mini USB Pass, can I interchange the adapter between the 2?

If not, If I ordered a separate adapter for each, would that work?

Thanks,
Paul

The Prodigy is not what I would consider a "pen." It's larger and thicker, and packs a much larger punch vape-wise than a pen.

The adaptors between the Prodigy and the USBpass are not interchangable, however they each come with their own when purchased.

I understand that the Prodigy is not a Pen, I was referring to the adapter that lets you put the Pen style atty on it.

It would have been nice if the adapters were interchangeable between the USB Pass and the Prodigy. This would let people buy a generic Pass and Prodigy and just buy adapters to switch between mini & pen, etc. from usb to prodigy.

Of course this would reduce the sales of each specific product line, which doesn't make good $$ sense for a business, but would help the customer spend less money and maximize utilization of their equipment.

The adapters for the USBPass will fit the upcoming Protege

It's all about the diameter difference in the two units. The USB PT adaptor is only 11/16", as it only required the internal space for a switch and wiring, while the Prodigy was designed to hold the 18650 battery and required a 15/16" diameter adaptor. I'm sure Steve would've loved to avoid all the headaches that come with designing and manufacturing the additional adaptors... Sadly the differing form factors prevent it.

Well it seems the the diameter of the PT could have been made the same as the PD.

Dude... hindsight. If it had fit the diameter of the PD then people who got the Protege down the road would be saying the same thing.

Dude... what if the PD, PT and Protege all had the same diameter?

 

[nevergonnaleavetn]

If the Prodigy and the Protege were the same size, what would be the point in even making the Protege?

 

[gjrhine]

The Protege will be 3.7 volts which some prefer over the 5 volt Prodigy.

I'm not certain but I believe this has something to do with the battery size and the size of the resistor within the switch.

Again not certain.

Also if you meant why don't they make the Protege bigger to accomodate the same adapters.

One of the main points is it's a slimmer model.

Personally the PD is a great size for me.

Same. I've got huge girlfriend-stealing hands. Prodigy fits mine absolutely perfectly.

 

[gjrhine]

Then a PD sized Protege should be just fine for you.

It''s a trade off - different sized devices vs. atomizer adapters where one size fits all.

Gary,

The PT was not intended or designed to be 1/2 of a PureSmoker product Duo. They were designed, researched and built for two very different purposes and to meet two very different market segments.

The PT was intended to solve the issues consumers were facing with the standard run of the mill chinese PT's. Building it unnecessarily oversized would've drastically impacted the price point (which is already ~50% higher at the current size) and removed it from consideration for a large portion of the market due to size alone.

Well I can agree with the size issue but not the "drastically impacted the price point" for a bigger tube and adpater. Some additional cost yes but not drastic. I know I like my two!

My reason for using "Drastically" was not only for material costs. It also would've had to be redesigned and tested, new parts sourcing for the grommets, switches and any other components that had been sourced based on existing diameter.

BTW, Ya aint alone there Pard.... Luv'n my Duo 2!
