hey guys, ive been vaping my prodigy and i noticed it drop in vapor production. also when i first drip like 2 drops and fire it up it doesnt give me the same vapor it used to. do i have to clean a certain part or is it something else? please help me out guys! thanks!

Chances are it's not the battery, although with dripping you may want to clean the battery connection from time to time. But the culprit is most likely the atomizer. There are many ways to clean. What I do is soak the atomizer in 151 vodka (uncolored/unflavored) for about 15 minutes - blowout from the batt end into a paper towel, reprime with ejuice and vape away. In some cases, where that doesn't restore full vapor and flavor, I'll then do a dry burn - remover cart first - where you hold the button for 5 seconds or so - I also blow into the atty chamber to 'fan the flames' - do this several times - it burns the crud off the coil but now you have ashes or residue so do another vodka soak. When that doesn't do it, I change atomizers.

Kent has given good advice and that may very well solve your issue. There are other things to consider as well...

Mechanical mods such as the Prodigy V3.1 do require some maintenance to perform at the their best. Take it apart and clean all the threads as well as totally disassembling the switch mechanism and thoroughly cleaning every piece including the threads for the lock. This should be a weekly ritual to keep your Prodigy hitting as it should and only takes a few minutes.

Also check the negative side of your batteries for dents as this can prevent the button from making full contact and causes a weak connection.
