Protege malfunction, what do I need to replce?

[vapola]

Hi guys,

I have a Protege (901 mini, the original version) that never worked right. It was OK because I also had a Prodigy but then I lost the Prodigy and have been using Protege for the last couple of weeks. No matter how much I charge the batteries, clean the unit or replace the atomizer, I cannot produce vapor consistently. It started getting worse lately, no vaapo at all (the unit gets warm though).
I think it is a defective unit to begin with but I love Puresmoker and want to give this Protege another shot. So my question is:

Should I buy a new Protege Mechanical Switch? Or should I buy something else to get it work again?
I am also getting new atomizers anyway to go with my order.

I appreciate your help! Sorry if this sounds dumb, I am not very technical, but I just want to enjoy vaping again.

Also since I have all the accessories for my Prodigy, but lost the actual unit (still have the charger and a lot of batteries and can use same atomizers that I use with Protege), which Prodigy parts do I need to buy to assemble it again?

Thank you all so much!

Ok, I figured that I am eligible for a new switch for my Protege thanks to reading this forum(should have done it first). But still have a question regarding Prodigy - which parts do i need to buy to replace my lost Prodigy (still have batteries and charger)?

Thank you all!

You would have to buy a Prodigy V2.1 when they are available.

I could just imagine the look on the person's face that found your Prodigy, they probabaly had no idea what it was.

That's what I was thinking. The only way I could lose my Prodigy is if I lost my hand that it seems to be glued too.

I have loss numerous 510 but never a mod. You are right I would have to lose my hand.

Did you lose the one that was not working good or the other one.

I dont think I could lose my V2 with losing my hand also but if i did I have a backup arm and another V2 to replace it LOL

I know, it is so stupid. I keep it in my purse pocket (vertical but open) when I go out and it probably fell out somewhere, most likely at a skating rink Probably some kid is going to find it... I freaked out BIG time but I had the Prodigy at home (which I never liked because the switch was so moody). It was a big loss, trust me.... Is there any word when Prodigy v.2 will be available?

I also have to say that I have several 510's which suck in comparison, but it is better than nothing. They taste funny too (plastic-y?), unlike Prodigy which had a nice and clean vapor. Oh, I miss it so much. By the way, it fell out many times out of that pocket before but I was always able to find it (in the car or at home). Like I said, it was stupid to keep it there....

You can order a prodigy v2 I think Casey said after placing order would take 3 days to ship out. I could be wrong. So I say from when you order it till it reaches you is 1 week. the prodigy v2.1 is still weeks away if you are planning to wait for that 1 it is over a month away almost 2 months i think.
