Questions about PS PT & The Protege

[Tripaholic]

Hi folks. I'm a 510 user and I love it. Like most, I have decided to broaden my e-cig inventory. I've been looking at all the different high voltage devices and couldn't decide on what to get. I noticed The Protege and got incredibly hyped. After reading around a bit, I think that I have learned that :

1. The Protege is not a high voltage device and should perform similar to my 510, but with much better battery life.

2. I can buy the PS PT and have a high voltage device without needing a Prodigy.

3. Can use any adapters I buy for the PS PT with The Protege.

Is all of this correct? Is the PS PT really a 5v device? It seems to be from what I have read, but I just want to be sure. As of now, I am planning on ordering both in the very near future. (If they're in stock )

Also, I do like flavor, but I really like a nice throat hit and good vapor probably more so...Which atomizer is more likely to knock me down?

Thanks,

Trip

Yes all correct as far as my understanding goes. Yes the USBpass can be used as a high voltage device depending on your power source, ex. some power packs you can select voltage output and thus can in theory have a pack at 3.7v ,5v ,6v ,7, etc. which could make it high voltage and normal 3.7 if you can find one with 3.7 output.

Tekkeon - myPower ALL, MP3300/MP3400/MP3450

Above supports 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V, 12V, 14V. Couldn't find if its selectable but have seen other that were.

Well just my $.02.

Thanks for the info, Kardjunkie! I browsed the thread a bit and noticed the $1.95 power device and will probably go with that if my usb port doesn't do the job. The Tekkeon looks incredibly nice, but it would defeat my purpose of buying the PT over the Prodigy.

I also ordered one of the 1.95 wall to usb adapters, havent got my USBpass yet but used my homemade 5v PT with it and it works great. Going to order a couple more, one by the computer, one by the bed, one by the couch. Can't beat the price and they work great, oh yea was pretty quick getting to me.

Tripaholic, are you buying the PT over the Prodigy simply because of price? I'm just wondering because I'm thinking about what to get also. I have a note of caution... you "could" damage your computer using the PT in the USB. I'm not saying probably, just possibly.

USB Dual Power Adapter

$3.90 Shipped, much cheaper than a new computer.

You're right, kard, and it's showing up as only $1.95 now for me. That's a very good price! I'd definitely go that route if I needed to.

Yeah. I figure I can get the protege for my on-the-go device and the PT for my high voltage device at home and it comes to about the same price as a prodigy but with the ability to use the same adapters on both devices. I like the look of the protege, too. Looks like a lighsaber, lol. Since the $1.95 power is good, I'll just order that. I have a fancy mobo and would prefer not to fry it. Thanks again, guys.
