I never owned a Prodigy but would love to. I want all the voltage options.. Nhaler just come out with there first device and it has 3.7v,5v,6 and 7+ volts. But i'd rather have the nice looks of the Prodigy!

Wish i could find one for sale.. never seen anyone sell theres and i wonder why?? :) Me wants!

Oh i had a SB but didnt feel comfortable using it in public cause it looked like something i could of made in my garage. People would think i was doing something ilegal with it. hehe.Not so if it looked like a Prodigy. Thats why i sold it as it was clear i needed a Prodigy!

I have no probs using my Prodege in public.

Hhehehe I am so glad you went with the Black Steve... The Tan just doesn't do it for me. lol... I always wondering why you didn't offer at least a few different color options. I could see Red, Blue, and maybe Yellow and of course Black... But meh the Stainless Steel look of the Protege is pretty nice IMHO... I would go for the Prodigy in Stainless also. But I would really hope to use the big 18650....

Has nothing to do with raves....Being a firefighter, Theres something that is in us that always wants either the largest of anything, or the flashiest and loudest of anything, then add on top that it follows a firefighter theme will just make us the happiest grown children ever! :D

There's the dawn of reality. The current reality from a consumer and marketer standpoint is this:

People figure out what they want and pick a purpose specific device.
If people decide to change their minds later, they want another purpose specific device.
An all mechanical solution seems to garner much attention.

That's all I'm saying. Take what numbers you will from your unscientific poll, but what I'm saying amounts to a survey of the actual.

Problem is I've never met anyone who wanted to go backwards -- 3.7v becomes equivalent to sucking air through a mcdonalds straw in terms of flavor and throat hit after going 5v+.

Now I've never used a 6v device, but from what I hear it drinks juice more and compounds the risk to the atomizers. I can't imagine the benefit between one more volt outweighing the cons. Again from what I read.

Mobility on the other hand is a concern with the prodigy... It's like carrying a flashlight in your pocket if your pants are anything but baggy and we all know carrying diabetic tester kits although nifty also ensures you have something you have to carry.

If I could get a significantly smaller, still reliable device at only 5v, I'd be signing up right now. The prodigy is exactly what I'd expect a "rev A" to be.
I love my prodigy, but we all know we'd like to arrive eventually at the size of the protege at 5v - whether or not that's do-able is a sideshow to the notion that the protege's size while ideal is simply underpowered for anyone who is not a consistent 3.7v user.

At least this is how I feel about the state of PV's -- YMMV.

Mgrimes makes some good points here and the more I think about it I might have to change my vote to smaller 5v only device. I have lots and lots of voltage options on my prodigy but truth be told, after lots of experimenting I pretty much stick with 5v all the time ... And not that I find the Prodigy too big, but sure, smaller would probably be nicer what the hey :)

You ever notice how you can get universal remotes that are like the size of a laptop, but they will control your ceiling fan??? Well this is kinda the same, i will still grab that little azz ceiling fan remote off of my coffee table and use it, even though the laptop size universal is right beside me on the couch.

Haha, all kidding aside, i think it would complete the line up to have a small 3.7 (protege), and small 5 (new prodigy), and a larger "universalish" device (OG Prodigy, aka, Prodigy V1, aka, the master black jack hammer of awesomeness!, hah, i made that up, but oh well). I would buy a smaller 5v only for sho!

There you go!!!
