if you have never tried 6v then get a v3 you can always use that at 3.7 with longer battery life.. just increased size, i was never comftable carrying around my v2 at work, or in public. box mods are cheap for trying HV, or even a cheap PT.
Little more then what I want to spend on a PV.
That's what I am worried about. I want to get the v3, but worried about it feeling weird and over sized carrying it on a regular day to day basis and out in public.
I have both the V3 and the Icon. Both are fantastic devices, but if I had to choose just one, I would have to go with the V3.
It's capable of both 3.7 and 6v with just a change of the batteries.
I carried mine around everywhere before I got the Icon. It's smaller than you'd think it is by looking at pictures; it's smaller than the V2 (and definitely smaller than the original Prodigy). I found that it fits really well in my hand. The bottom button helps because you can cup it in your fist and activate it with your pinky. The only drawback to ultra portability is the weight. The V3 is heavy; I found it a bit too heavy to comfortably carry around in my front shirt pocket at work. But with its locking button, I just put it in my pants pocket without worry of it going off.

Yeah I'm diggin the V3, but can't make up my mind because of the size.
I want to be able to try 6v and the V3 lets you.
I also love the looks of it.
I am just to worried about the size of the V3, I would be carrying it in my pants pocket as I don't wear shirts with pockets.
Would you mind posting a few pictures of them both for me?
Comparing the sizes, of the icon and v3 next to some house hold objects just so I could get an idea of what I should be expecting.
Maybe next to a Big lighter, drivers license, and tape measure with the atty and cart or drip tip on it.
I would appreciate it!

Here are some photos from Pure Smoker's forum. Maybe they'll help until I can get some photos taken and uploaded.

Any 5 volt is better in throat hit and performance from my experience than a 3.7 volt. Pretty easy decision.
The V3 is 6v, but yeah. I agree.
LR atties at 3.7 come close but just aren't quite as satisfying. The best ones I've used to date are the LR 306s. Those are really really good at 3.7v on the Icon. The LR 510s and 901s are good too but are just missing something I can't quite put my finger on. I think they might be lacking in warmth.
I plan on taking some pics maybe tomorrow if no one beats me to it. Unfortunately, my S.O. took the digital camera and won't be back until later tonight.
