I wanted to give a review on my early impressions of the Protege. I received mine yesterday and have been putting it to work. So here goes:
I did the initial charge with the batteries and charger as supplied in the complete kit. I had gotten a 901 adapter with the Protege, even tho I had never used a 901 before. I also had my adapters from my 510 and 801 Puresmoker PT lined up and ready to get their turns on the Protege.
First, the overall construction of this little device is wonderful. Solid feeling, not too heavy, and smaller than I expected. Threads work well and all adapters, including my old PT adapters fit, and worked. If I have any gripe at all it is that the upper edges on the button housing are rather sharp, and could stand to be filed down a tad...which I will do myself. But this is a beautiful piece with a classy finish, great looking PS logo etched into it and a knurled bottom battery acces cap. It will stand on end just fine, and it can be layed down without rolling off of your desk, Seriously, it is just perfect.
Now, time to vape.......I started with the 901 and it was simply heaven. Smooth and tasty with a great plume of vapor. I had never hit a 901 before so I was thinking...I should have been using a 901 all along!!!!
Quickly switched to my 510 adapter and a broken in 510 atty......sweet merciful crap!!! The hit was better than it ever was on a standard 510 manual battery. It gave a little bit of heat, without that sometimes burnt-bite that the 510 can give. And the vapor....SILLY!
Next, on to the 801. I like the 801, usually as my morning vape because its real....well....weak. Nice flavor, best of any of them, but on the weak side and generally doesn't satisfy me later in the day. But now with one of my 801 attys strapped to the Protege, it provided more vapor than it ever did off of an 801 battery. And it actually gave me just a little bit of throat hit, which standard 801 set ups never do.
I don't know which atty set up to go with, they are all terrific on this device. Consistant hit after hit. I used my Protege for about 2 hours last night while watching TV, and then for two hours this moning. It hadn't died yet, and was still hitting consistently, and I am a heavy vaper. But I just went ahead and swapped to my second battery and put the first one back on the charger. So, exactly how much life I will get from the batteries, I don't kow yet. But it already far exceeded what I would get form a 510 battery.
Bottom line, I am in heaven. I think I have found my mainstay device. Great job Puresmoker!
