Review about the kick.
Kick 2 By Evolv - YouTube
The original is the Evolv KICK, but they are more expensive than the clones,which i know nothing about. The current evolv KICK is the KICK2, which goes up to 15 watts, if you only need up to 10 watts you could get the KICK1 for much cheaper. Evolv LLC - Shop Now
You want the Evolv Kick 2.
Most Kicks can only boost the voltage. They can not reduce the voltage.
I run my kayfun at 11 watts with a 1.2 ohm coil which is only 3.6 volts. This means that it would be 'to hot' until the battery charge was depleted down to 3.6v with other than the kick 2. You will have to look around to find one in stock.

Not volt, wattage. And the one i linked above can go down to 5w which is almost nothing.
The one i linked isnt evolv 2 though, its sigelei. Either should be fine. I watched tons of reviews before when i was new to mechs.
But i ended up not getting a kick anyway.

Yes they both go down to 5 watts, but you would need a 3.5 ohm coil for the Segelei to regulate to that with a fresh battery.
The Segelei is a "booster" only kick. (like the Evolv Kick 1)
(matter of fact, the early runs of Segelei Kicks even had the Evolv Kick 1 logo on the ckt. board)

Alright, thanks for that clarification i had missed that.
Evolv 2 it is then.
And since you're using the kick mostly for safety as your new to mechs, go buy an authentic kick. Not a clone / copy.

I talked to Brandon (Evolv) when the Segelei first came out (because the Evolv logo was on it) My understanding is that the Segelie is not a "clone/copy", they bought the rights to make the Kick 1.

There are 3 Kick modules out there to consider.
The Evolv Kick module. This is the original Kick. It's limited to 10 watts output. Minimum coil resistance is 1.0 ohms but 1.3 to 3.0 ohms is where it works best. Can be found for less than $20
The Smoktech Kick clone module. This is a cloned Kick module with one minor improvement. It looks and works just like the original Kick but it goes up to 12 watts. Can be found for less than $20
The Evolv Kick2 module. This is the latest Kick out there. It allows up to 15 watts of power and will work with coils down to 0.5 ohms. That extra power comes at a price though, expect to pay near $50 for one.
I have a Kick2 in my Nemesis. It works great. It gives me 90% of the functionality of a VV/VW mod with the option of removing it and running unregulated (and unprotected) if I want to seriously subohm. I've been very happy with it.
However, that price is now dangerously close to the DNA30 clones. You can get a DNA30 clone for $54 from Fasttech and that will give regulated power up to 30 watts and allow you to run a coil as low as 0.3 ohms.
I currently own both the Kick2 and DNA30 clone. I haven't used the Kick2 at all since the DNA30 arrived.

Which means it's a licensed clone. But it's still a clone. They bought the rights to make their own, they don't buy parts from Evolv.
Got both evolv kick1 and FT kick (which costs 8$) both works well, so does the evolv worth the extra money? Not really.
Seen some people here talking about the dna30, well there is no reason to compare both, since each serves a different function as the kick is designed specifically to fit in a 22mm mech tube.
Installation is simple, you just pop it in the tube (with the kick extension tube attached) and make sure the pin on the side touches the side of the tube and that it's not placed upside down or it scrap.

You'll have to get the diameter & length of the clone you intend to buy and compare the tubes diameter to the diameter of the kick, then add the battery & kick combo length together and compare that to the ID OAL of the tube.
I ordered the siglei before I read the rest of this thread. Will I be able to use it. I also bought a Vape Safe fuse. Should I use this instead. Cant afford the evolv kick 2 right now
3 threads asking the same questions is hard to keep up with and causes confusion.
There are several manufacturers of nemisis clones, some do not have the same dimensions.
I'd imagine a kick will fit.
the tube is designed for 18 mm diameter battery and the kick is sized for 18mm so yes it will fit diameter wise.
The kick 2 specifically seems a little pricey at 30 some dollars for such a small device i found this one for only 10 bucks $9.07 Authentic Sigelei Variable Wattage Kick Module for Mechanical Mod - 5-15W at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping$9.07 Authentic Sigelei Variable Wattage Kick Module for Mechanical Mod - 5-15W at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping. But what would be my best options for a battery?
