The new Prodigy and the next Protege will both be cammed units -- or those without a switch at all. They will still be a manual device, but there will be no actual switch.

Steve, could you explain what this means? I am not familiar with the term "cammed." How does this new system work and still allow manual activation? Will there still be a resistor in there somewhere to allow for 5v vaping?

I can't go in to, too many details ...

It will be activated via your lips, but will utilize a cam inside .... We are hoping to stay resistorless but with a voltage drop of 5-5.5v under load. :)

We are in the testing faze at this point .... and its been a long one :) Trying to alleviate any *float* on the adapter side. Both units will be purely mechanical with no switch, and hopefully, no resistor.

hmmmmm , so i get the idea it might be like the copper... where you activate it by pushing the atomizer into the body of the device...

a cool switch would be a touch sensor switch , like on one of those lamps you turn on by just touching it...

I have been looking in to touch sensors .... They would be cool :)

Just wondering how you would avoid activating the atomizer when it is in your pocket.....I guess I will have to order one when they become available.....I already have a Protege and Passthrough on order..guess I will have a trio of PS products. Can't wait.

Hey Coffin,

The cam will have a locking position so it can't activate :)

If you take out the resistor/buffer that makes for 5v vaping than you are no different than any other mod on the market.

We are looking to drop voltage WITHOUT the use of the resistor. We are still shooting for 5v vaping tomz ... If we can reach that without a resistor/regulator, then one will be added. Plus we utilize stainless steel, something which no one else uses, and will be adding a cam ... again, something I have yet to see on another mod.

it will have cams inside? So it will be Dual overhead cams like my car engine??? Interesting, but I tried vaping my tailpipe once and wasn't keen on it, but to each their own. :D

EXACTLY! ;)

I think we have just come full circle. How is this any different than an oversize auto penstyle, which is also lip activated?

it will still be a 5v device .... Lip activated, not inhale activated ...

so kind of like a stainless steel resistor free 5v copper???

or maybe some sort of digital anti-vape lip recognition device....
