Does the Protege switch have the resistor to hold it at 3.7v or will it let whatever a fully charged batt has (typically 4.2v) through?
Protege Resistor?

The resistor in the switch holds the Prodigy to 5v. The batteries that come standard are 2 @ 3.0v. If you had no resistor then it would be a 6v device. You can get a switch without the resistor that will allow you to do this. That switch without resistor is also good for using the single huge battery at 3.7v.
So if you have the standard unit you are running at 5v.
I wish PureSmoker would offer a kit to convert the Prodigy to 3.7v. Maybe a kit that had two big batteries, a charger for them, and the switch without resistor. As it is now you would have to spend 26.95 (Switch) + 7.99ea (18650 3.7v 2200mAh battery) +14.99 (charger) = 57.92 to convert plus two batteries. Maybe a 45.95 deal or something like that would be nice. Hint, Hint.... lol...

My PV is kinda similar. If you can use 2 cr2's at 6 volts without the switch, then wouldn't 1 18500 bat at 3.7 volts fit in it?
Click link in my signature to see the most amazing PV you cant buy.
It will hold a 18650 battery just need to get the switch without resistor.
On the Prodigy, yes. But you still have to buy the switch without the resistor or you get kicked down to 3.0. or 3.2v.

I'm sure Steve or Casey will chime in tomorrow with the official PureSmoker answer to your question. In the meantime I would be willing to bet the answer is "no resistor".

Standard e-cig batteries charge to 4.2v - they don't have a resistor so not sure why you'd need one on the Protege. By the time they discharge to 3.7v they are pretty much flat.
