Prodigy Users

[moshinator 2]

Im currently enjoying my 510m from RMV. IM ready to buy a Prodigy v1 from Pure Smoker. Should I go with 510 adaptor or do any of the other atts. work better with it.? Do I need a spare switch, and if so which one would you recomend., Resistor or not ? Thanks from the rookie !

I think different people will give you different answers here. My perspective follows.
I started out, as you have, with 510s. It was really the battery life that made me look further. And maybe flavor. I don't care much about throat hit.
After a few emails with Casey, I decided on the 901 Prodigy, and a 910 passthrough. I ordered the 510 adapters separately, though, because they are occasionally in short supply due to difficulty of manufacturing, I think.
I also have ordered the alternate battery setup that uses the long 3.7v battery and the alternate switch, and I'm very glad I did. On some of my juices, the 5v is just too hot for me. And that big long battery really lasts a long time, which is reallllly nice! I use it the most.
The 901 has been a revelation. Much better flavor from my juices, and much more satisfaction.
I also ordered one of the 801 adapters for my passthrough, mainly out of curiosity because of how popular they seem to be. I like that ok, but it is actually really breathy to me, and I feel like it dries my throat out more, so it is my last choice.
I hope this helps.

I've had mine for almost 2 months now & here's the path I followed.
dse901 with plenty of backup attys
510 with 15 or so attys

For me I went with the 901 version to use all the extra attys I had but quickly figured out that my 510 was going to be in my hand 75% of the time, only hitting the prodigy during breaks at work, lunch, at home..etc etc.
So instead of stocking up on 2 styles of attys, I'm focusing on just 510's at this time.
As for flavor I think it's a personal experience, just like juice flavors. I've heard people say an 801 atty on a prodigy is the best, others say a 510 yada yada...
Here's my take. You're cooking juice at 5v (stock) & from my experience, the taste from both my 510 & 901 attys/adapters are great for the first hit or 3, then tapers off quickly. Almost as if the flavor is cooked off before all the juice is (I drip)
Now if you wanted to get the switch without the resistor, that'd let you run at either 3.7v or 6v depending on what batteries you choose. I definitely think at 3.7v you'll get longer flavor & of course longer battery life. Thats up to you.
As I'm sure you know if you've been in the PS forum, Steve is coming out with the Protege`. Smaller than the prodigy, stock 3.7v & IMO, would be great with an 801 atty.

Basically if I were in your shoes, I'd go for the 510 adapter seeing how you're already using those attys & the stock 5v switch that comes with it. And make sure you get an extra few batteries. Even though most say they last 4+ hours & yes, I believe they do, I can notice a difference in throat hit after about 2-3 hours.
If funds aren't a problem, get the 3.7v switch & batteries as well...it's your call.

I have both the 901 and 801, 5 volts (with the resistor). I intended to just use the 901 since that is what I was use to. But I must say the 801 is made for the Prodigy. It's bigger, carts last longer, atomizers hold up better. Plus you can use the BE112 atomizer (801 compatable) from BestEcigs.com which are the the best 801 atty's for dripping. And they only cost about $4 each as long as you order about 10 of them.

I didn't realize there were so many variables to learn about as far as batteries and switches. I've been looking at the Mods, trying to decide which to buy. I've seen lots of 3.7v., 4v., and 6v. Is Prodigy the only one that goes 5v?
