V2 questions

[Quitter]

After using my PS PT for some time now I'm really liking vaping at 5 volts. I think the time has come to make the jump to a portable 5V unit. Obviously I'm really happy with PS quality and so the Prodigy V2 is a top contender. I'm also looking at the Xhaler and one feature I like is it's ability to run at different voltages.

Is this possible with the Prodigy? Can you run a single 3.7v batt in it and get a high MAH run time like the Xhaler? If so what battery would fit/work?

The 3v RCR123a batts are rated at 750mah and run in series to get the higher voltage. But does this mean you get a full 1500mah out of them or is it only 750mah?

Not sure but to clarify - the Protoge is a 3.7v device only, correct?

Just a side note - I was really disappointed that PS chose to only make the V2 in silver. I really like the black look of my PT.

No, the V1 could do different voltages, the V2 is 5v only.

The 3v RCR123a batts are rated at 750mah and run in series to get the higher voltage. But does this mean you get a full 1500mah out of them or is it only 750mah? 750 since they are both discharging.

Just a side note - I was really disappointed that PS chose to only make the V2 in silver. I really like the black look of my PT. Correct, though there is talk of making different colored tubes in the future, look for the thread titled "another great idea!!!" or something like that.

Thanks for the answers Gibby! I appreciate it. I'm wanting to get into a higher voltage unit and running back n forth over the Prodigy V2, BB and Xhaler. Each seems to have pros & cons. Still can't believe these things cost $100! Any input you or anyone else has on these units would be appreciated!

probably shouldnt do that (talking about other mods than the prodigy v2) in this board. that would be a discussion for another one.

my vote however, is to get the v2!

I can only tell you that i would go with the V2 just because it comes from PS. the V1 is awesome, and to get stock V1 performance in a smaller package is really exciting.

Well the V2 is def in the top two for me. I've eliminated the Xhaler due it's button placement and protrusion. As a device that would live in my pocket I just couldn't see having that button digging into me. I also dislike having a button all the way at the end.

The BB seems to be all that's left to compete with the V2. Big negative on the V2 is the inability to go to 3.7v for long run times. Beats the hell out of me why PS took away the resistored switch or even better, didn't put an inline resistor to be switched on & off. There would times when it would be great to go 3.7 and have killer mah run times.

I like 5volts with my PS PT. Does 6v kill attys faster or burn more juice than 5v or are they about the same? Anyone well versed in both?

I can just tell you that I have the V1 and I've tried really hard to be happy with the nonresistored switch so I can use either 6 V or 3.7 V. I tried really hard to like the 3.7 V for the long battery life, but I keep going back to the resistored switch for 5 V. As hard as I try, I keep putting it back in. The 3.7 V really is too weak and the 6 V is too strong. At first I didn't think I could tell much difference between 5 V and 6 V, but I actually can. Yes, I do see a difference with attys with higher voltage, but there's a learning curve there too.

i'd have to agree on preferring 5v over 6v and 3.7v.

5v is the dog's bollocks.
