I was rummaging through my vaping drawer before, and i had forgot i had a kick ring for my chi you. So i have just ordered another two kick`s from F/T, one for the chi, and i can put another in the atom as it telescopes.

Ideally i would like to have all my mods kicked now, as the rayon totally appreciates higher watts/volts. Problem is, i dont know if i could buy any rings for my other mods IE: the bagua etc. If anyone knows can you let me know please.

Sorry can't help on that one mate, I've never used a kick so haven't used a kick ring. Guess it's just a case of trying the ring on each mod to see if it fits or not.

I might have some spare rings knocking about too mate, cos I don't use them :D

I don`t think you understood what i mean`t mate. I have already got the nemmy kicked, so we can forget about that. I have got a ring for the chi, so i know that will be ok, and the atom scopes so that will be fine. What i am after, like you say is some spare kick rings for my bagua etc. So yes Ian if you have got any spare, i will take them mate to see if i can get any of my other tubes kicked.

Terry, which kicks have you used and what are you ordering. I am thinking about a mech, wood one I have seen, but I want the volts/watts regulated, down not up. What I am looking at takes 18650 batteries, so I am guessing I will have to go with an 18500/18490 battery and the kick. Any info is appreciated.

Case of lost in translation :laugh:

I've got some spare tube sections for a few different mods. Definitely got one for the poldiac, probably a few of the others too. Have you tried the kick ring from the chi on the bagua mate ?? If you can tell me how tall the kick is, I can dig out and measure any tubes I find, see if they might be suitable. Thinking about it, I've got the brushed brass 18500 tube for the Caravela - would that work with an 18350 and kick ?? If so, you can definitely have that one mate.

Thanks Ian that will be great, i will just check the height of the kick and get back in one minute.

Ok it says 17.5 mm height ian, so anything around that size should be ok, cos i can always tinker. :D

Burnie, i just had a thought. If the mod you are ordering is wood on the inside of the tube, a kick won`t work as it has to make contact with metal.

This is one of the ones I am looking at
$17.00 Skeleton Wood 18650 Mechanical Mod at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
It would have to have a metal tube on the inside of the wood or it wouldn't fire period, has to make connection with the atty somehow, and mechs don't use wires, from my understanding.

On the kick, I was looking at one that is the same but VV instead of VW, but either would work. Was just wondering if they worked good, the price is good.

They probably didn't like us in Paris, cos we were a bunch of hairy arsed Brits :laugh: Driving in Paris was an experience, I can tell you. One day just for a laugh we decided to drive the works van through the centre of Paris in rush hour. What an experience that was :laugh:

I never liked the French until I went down to the South, up north they didn't seem to appreciate my attempts at speaking some French, and always appeared aloof, but down South they were warm and didn't mind my poor attempts at speaking a few words in French.

Looks like Bob beat me to it with the link. But it really is worth trying mate.

Well done that man :D

Well I think you had gone to bed so thought I'd help out :)

I've got a basic webcam on the laptop, but to be honest I've never used it. I think my handsome looks would be too much for most people to handle on camera, so I'll just stay anonymous :laugh:

I've got one on the lappy as well, but never used it, suppose I could put Skype on there and use that instead, I only have 3 friends that call me on Skype, one down Exeter way and 2 over in Belgium, but it's very infrequent

Had a card through from RM today, I've got a parcel to pick up tomorrow. If it's the new tips already, that's amazingly quick :)

Let the cat out today for 2 hours when I got home, she totally disappeared, but came back as soon as I put my dinner on :laugh: She's going back home tomorrow, no more hairs on my drip tips :laugh:

Some firms are really good at getting stuff out, and I know you'll miss your little friend, hairs and all :lol:

Yes they are very good, and as you say there is no wires in a mech. What i mean`t about inside the tube is, It has got to be some sort of metal sleeve, because the kick has a little brass spring loaded nipple on the edge of it`s deck, and that has to make contact with metal. If it was just touching plain wood it wouldn`t work.

You can now get rayon over here on eBay

Bob, you're the google King mate :laugh:

Not a problem, I'll have a root around on Sunday, see what I've got. Another thought, my bagua is from a different manufacturer than yours, so I wouldn't be able to try any kick rings on it first. If you remember I got my bagua on a co-op buy on here, it's totally different threading from the ones on FT.

Anyway, I'll let you know what I find on sunday mate :D

Good find that bob. :)

That ebay seller has pinched my idea, I was gonna do that :laugh:

A few people have said the same to me, that the French seem friendlier further south. We went in one shop in Paris and I asked for 2 packets of Bensons in my best French, the guy slammed them on the counter, gave me a dirty look and just held out his hand for the money. I told him where he could stick his cigs, not sure if he understood or not :laugh:

Not a problem, glad you jumped in Bob, saved me opening a new tab for google :laugh:

Well the cat has gone home now. Step-daughter came round 10 minutes ago to pick her up. The Wife can get hoovering now :laugh:

Thanks for the info. It is still ships in 7 days, and has been for a week, and I only order in stock/ships next day, but I might try it anyway if shipping time comes down. Have seen another on another site I might order, but they don't carry kicks. Don't really need it, was just one of them want it things, I like the wood mods for some reason. It most likely has a metal tube on the inside like the X-Gun as the wood is really thin and would most likely break if it didn't, but it is impossible to tell in the pictures.
