    Sooo i need some learning curve for the Kick

    So far i heard the original Kick seems to be from
    Evolv LLC - Kick Instructions this complany, however .... which vendor in TH does have them in stock, i mean the Kick2 and whats the pricing on them.

    I read somewhere around the board that the cheap FT Kicks, are usually only good for a couple of weeks or months and then stop working
    so any recommendations here?

    how do you guys deternmine the output Watts on a mech mod with kick, is it just by the taste you like it or is there something to measure it?
    i ask cause i figured i like vaping between 8-10 Watts depending on the Atty

    not quite kick realted ... but i figured on my VV / VW device that i like VW vaping much better hence i was getting curious about the kick. i am basially looking now for a reasonable priced mech mod, which works with a kick, and i prefer if i could have it with a 18650 + kick but not telescopic look. I guess the device will then be quite long thou :( and i still like smaller devices, rather then carrying a huge metal dildo around. So are there any recommendations for a none tubed, decent looking, good mech mod, which is not soooo big, and works good with the kick?

    No Thai vendors have them.


    I've had one for 3 months and still going strong, I know a guy in town who's had one for 8 months.


    I just set it to 9 W and that's it.


    I find the Nemi clone with the 18650 and kick isn't that big and works great...

    You don't need a kick for a V/V or a V/W device.

    You DO need a kick for a mechanical mod if you want to have the same strength vape every time with one or a host of different clearomizers or attomizers.... a kick will primarily keep your wattage the same level throughout the charge of the battery.

    It will also prevent short circuit.

    A kick evolv 2 is about 40 pounds or euros or a little bit less, depending on where you buy it and you can get a clone as little as a tenth of the cost.

    The problem or question that you might want to ask yourself is - when the clone kick stops working, will the battery blow up in my hand/face etc. etc. ?

    Tere are, of course, a lot of other differences and pros and cons for buying the real one or not, but you can google that if you need convincing.

    I have the original, BTW and unlike a lot of guys here I'm on a budget. So, for me, it's VERY important.

    So ... the original Kick2 is around 55 USD the FakeTech one is 9 USD

    i ve seen that the original one is inside a plastic wrap, and i thought it makes sense cause of leakage, but is there any other difference between the Kick2 and the FakeKick
    from what i read the FakeTech one has:
    the specs from the orginal Kick2 are:
    i am sure the last 2 features which are not really positive, are on the FakeTech one too....

    both say you have to use IMR batteries, cause IMR s dont explode, they just smoke out

    however i agree with you that Electronics made in china just have a short shelf life,

    Does this mean the real you doesn't use a kick?

    And the fake you does use a kick?

    I'm confused, Dude

    A littles change to the above.
    Yes the real Kick has a heat shrink around it, that's to protect it from the inner body of the tube, but saying that, the Kick clone is fine without imho.

    Also your specs are wrong, this is the Kick 2 specs:
    Evolv LLC - Shop Now

    Now one thing I do like about the Kick Clone over the real deal is this:
    Reverse battery protection.
    It doesn't say it anywhere but they do have it, where the real kick, you put in your battery the wrong way around and you will fry the board.
    I've read many a vaper who has done this, and there goes your $55

    And when using flat tops, after a beer or 2 then this can be important.
    As for IMR, it's to do with the high drain factor, not the explosion/venting factor...

    Just my thoughts...

    Yes Vapermorphs, I have no clue why they still are in the variable voltage. It found it when i was looking for something else they also call for the Kick, but in reality it's only a protection chip for mods. I don't know what it coast, but it can't be so expensive. In Europe, when you buy a mechanical Mod from Kamry, they always come in a set with batteries, clearomizer and also this little chip.

    That's just a 2cents fuse style thing, it's not a kick
    The other one is kinda apart from the VV and kick clone.
    You can adjust your V to what suits your atty/clearo and so one.
    The 2cents fuse is just a protection against shorts and such
