WAIT! The Protege is a 3.7 and 5.0 device?????

[maf2k8]

Ok i have owned and sold my Protege ( it was simply to weak for me at 3.7 volts ) from what i have read ( and i could be wrong ) that if i have a USB adapter to turn my protege into a USB PS, it works at 5 volts? Which is the same as my Prodigy??? ( which has been sent in for repair, where are you my baby!!! )

If this is correct and the Protege works at 5 volts with the adapter then i might have to order one again because i love the Prodigy at 5 volts and if the Protege can do 5volts also, then i am sold! ( again )

Also, if this is the case, are both the Protege and USB adapter in stock?

Thanks!

Steve actually measured the loaded voltage of the PS PT at 4.3 volts. It does hit pretty close to my Prodigy though. As far as I know they are in stock and ready to sell. You can shoot them an email to confirm before ordering. They respond very good.

But... and this is a large but... if you are only planning to use it on the pass-through, why not get a PS PT and save some cash?

If you want to be able to use it at 3.7v as a carry-around, it makes sense to buy another and the USB insert, but if not.... just sayin'.

HA, i completely forgot about the USB PS! You make a good point. Anyone happen to know the voltage on the USB PS? I believe ( could be wrong ) that i read the voltage can be different depending on the power source ( PC, USB wall adapter, car lighter, etc )

You're right. It depends on the power source. But most USB devices are ~ 5.0v and I don't know that the switch or atty would hold up at 220v

Anything above 5v I'd use the mechanical switch but, not on a computer due to the possibility of shorting out the motherboard.

Yep... USB connections will typically be 5v. It's the amperage that varies. You'd definitely need one that supplies at least 1A, with best results at 1.5A.

You can from a few suppliers buy adjustable USB power supplies, but you would have to do some looking, i know there have been some mentioned on this forum, but can't find the dang post. But yes i would even go as far as to say 5V 2.0A would be best.

Do we really think that a PT device is capable of drawing 2 amps (24 watts)?

I'm going to amp out a 808 carto and a 510 with my Prodigy at 4.2 (fully charged 18650) and see what it is. If I can get it to work I'll report back.
I have the equipment if I can rig a mount.

I think the only thing that could come close to 2A (and not sure how close) is the PS PT with a 510 atomizer. I use mine at 1.5A and am satisfied.
