Any Kicked Grands out there?

[tnt56]

I got my beautiful, and I mean beautiful Black and orange Reo Grand. I originally thought of putting a kick in it when I first bought it. No that I have it I just can't seem to be able to scruff the inside paint to make sure the kick is grounded properly. Yea I know it's on the inside and no on but I wil know but then again I will know. Just courious if any one has kicked their Grand. (I'ts just to beautiful to scratch up at this point. )

I ran my Grand, (same color as yours), with a Kick for a couple of months until the Kick decided to die. Wrap you coils at 1.5 or lower and you'll find that there's really no need for the Kick... get down to around 1 ohm and after 3 or 4 minutes you won't even be able to spell Kick.

Save your money for wick and wire.

haha I like Gioajack's response because Im starting to really love rebuildables. TNT, you could use a little piece of a soda can to ground your kick. I've seen it done. GL man.

I have a kick and I use it with my Grand when I'm at home. But really I've found the biggest advantage is it prevents me from over-discharging the battery.

When I'm going to be out and about for the day, I prefer using an 18650 for the longer battery life. Though I find myself bringing a spare charged 18650 with me anyway, since I can kill one by mid-afternoon if I'm chain vaping.

Nope..no kick here, I use a 1.3 rba and LOVE IT!

0.9Ω coil on my Grand right now. Plume and flavor, baby.

You dont have to scrape up your grand. Run a wire from the spring to the ground of the kick. Tuck the wire into the back corner of the grand.

I think before rebuildable attys, the kick got some decent action in some of the Grands, but now that we can wrap a coil that meters in under 1.0 ohm, the kick almost seems redundant....and being able to use the 18650 battery is the icing on the cake.

I think the Kick still is a good option. I swapped batteries less with a kick than i did with 18650s and the vape was the same from start to finish. However if you are starting out into Reoland the VVG is a much better option.

I bought a Grand off the classifieds that was already sanded down for a Kick. But I think a dremel and a med/fine grind stone would be much faster and precise than trying to sand it by hand.

Occasionally I put a little nolox on the sanded spot to help aid connectivity and reduce oxidation of the bare metal.

I use a kicked grand all day w/1.5ohm dualcoil cartos and after rotating 3 AW IMR 18500 daily for about a year the batteries are just now starting to fade. Meaning now I can just barely make it through waking till the end of my 12h shift (14-16hrs) till a battery swap is needed.

When I ordered my Grand I wanted to run a Kick & ordered one at the same time. I haven't even used the Kick yet & I still don't have a desire to use a Kick in my Reos. I'm thinking to just buy some cheap mod to use the Kick & for dripping (to test new flavors).

I killed two kicks in my grand.

I killed two kicks in my grand.

I killed two as well. I put the battery in upside down. Its easy to do that. That is the major weak point of the Kick. ...no reverse battery protection.

I kicked my grand out of the car once and it went skidding across the driveway Barely left a mark on it though

Other than that I've never entertained the idea of kicking mine. I like less to go wrong. I good RBA @ 1.2 ohms on an 18650 AW and it couldn't get any better no matter what I put in there.

 

[tnt56]

I've got a good supply if 2 ohm cartos and some 1.7 ohm also. Last night I put on a 2ohm bridged arty to try out. Still not to shabby. Thinking when my Reomizers come in, I'll just use the kick in my Legacy's and SB.
