Just got home from work and poped in my first freshly fully charged batterys and boy Im i loving the prodigy ...diffently a lil bit of learning curve with the manual switch but i get the feeling in a day or two its gonna be second nature.
also the spring in the bottom is allready starting to break in and the change of batterys went fine without a hitch the t/h on this thing is awesome.
once again great job steve you have made a winner congrats

awww... Great Combo !!!! The manual switch does definitely take some getting used to, but in the end ... being able to define your own t/h is quite awesome ... take it easy ... don't want to keep you up tonight with a nic buzz :)

Oh good, thanks. I'm thinking it might be perfect for my grandmother. Then again, she might decide my Prodigy really isn't too big and "borrow" it when I visit next. Her PT just died and she's not a happy camper.

LOL .... grandma's are awesome ... If you have something, and they even remotely like it ... you better get them one, or they won't send you a nit sweater next Christmas !!! hehe

What is the concept behind the V2? Will it stay with the 5V?

Originally YES, and we MAY still shoot for that ... The problem being battery size ... we can do it and roughly cut down about 1 - 1.25" off the prodigy, BUT, it will only be roughly 500mAh and batteries would need to be charged every 2 maybe 3 hours ...

So, we may just go for the 3.7v long life style on the v2 :)

interesting frankly !!!!

do you happen to have a multimeter by chance? I ask, because we have tested up to roughly 8.2 - 8.3v inline on the resistor for several hours and never had an issue ...

If you could test each battery then test them inline and let me know that outcome, that would be excellente !!!! also, what type of 3.7v RCR's do you have, so I can get a set a try!!!

I'll do you one better and send you two of them. The batteries are Spider Fire 3.7v batteries from Deal Extreme. A single battery, fully charged rates 4.24 volts. In a series, two batteries rate 8.48 volts.

this is what you get tesc :p

LOL ... I do realize we need to live up to the 5v name, i just not entirely sure everyone will like the design we came up with :confused: and i won't release it just yet because of vultures!

It seems to me that PS can establish more of a competitive advantage with 5V products.

The batteries for the Prodigy are cheap and can apparently be recharged many, many times, so a shorter battery life shouldn't be an issue (within reason).

hmmmmm.... very very true .... you still get a :p

same as the 900mAh 3.0v batts from Tenergy. Alone, they were 4.21 I believe, and together were 8.2ish ... They are the ones that dropped to 4.6v under load, so the resistance did infact raise .... hmmmmm .... Are you sure the batteries just weren't completely dead? have you tried charging them and reusing? I do remember an occurence where it went from great to ziltch in a matter of seconds, charged the 900mAh batts and we were golden!

My grandma's not the knitting kind. She's an expert guilt tripper though and has the power to make sure my mom makes me more than aware should I offend. LOL

Her PT died and by golly I better do something about it! Of course here's the list of what I need to do about it. And I need to remember that when she passes on all her e-cig stuff is going to come to me. 8-o

Sorry, but I couldn't talk her into a PS PT and the one she does want is just going to keep having to be replaced often. :nah:

Prodigy V2 may score me BIG brownie points though, so I've got to keep an eye out. ;)

LOL .... Guilt trips ... they are the WORST !!!!!!! She didn't like my PT ?!?! howcome ?!?!?! :confused: :( This saddens me!!!! Lets hope V2 gets me some brownie points !!!!!

I haven't tried it again. To be honest, I was scared to. Do you want me to try it?

I have zero issues shooting you a replacement Frankly, and would really like to know !!!! Charge them up and give them another shot!!! New Products need to be put through the ringer to find out exactly what they can take. In house testing can only go so far !!!!

Don't laugh, but she doesn't like your PT because it doesn't look like a cigarette.

Apparently the 510 PT does to her. Manual button, cord, battery box and all. :confused:

Now the Prodigy doesn't look too bad to her, but it's just too big. WTF!!! 8-o :confused::confused::confused:

She saw a white/brown m401 and got all over me about why I hadn't bought one of those for her to try. I finally offered to swear on the family bible that the platinum pilot I had given her to try was the exact same thing just with a different paint job.

For the most part I've given up trying to understand and just go with it.

"Yes Grandma, I'm sure your mail really came twice today. No, of course it couldn't be that it just came later after you had already checked the day before."

"Yes Grandma, of course my atty's vape better than yours. Sure you can have them." :lol:

5v is the bomb as is the ability to go more hours with out a recharge. Once you go 5v you never go back. I have been lugging around a 4xAA battery pack and PT for months now. Am so glad to be rid of the chord, especially when traveling. Chords get caught on everthing, especialy the arms of plane seats. The Prodigy was definitly worth the wait. You don't know how many times I almost asked for a refund to buy a Janty Stick.

My wife on the other hand thinks it is too big. Make a smaller 5v version so I can lead her to the dark side.

Edit: Smaller batteries are not for me. I'd lug around a car battery if I thought it would give a better vape.

hmm sometimes my imagination gets the better of me but for some reason this statement made me think of those hats that hold two beer cans and have straws going down to the users mouth to drink the beer.
only in my incarnation you would have a car battery on your hat with a couple of jumper plugs connected to your prodigy and all that would be visible is the sparking of the battery contacts and a huge plume of vapor.
