The KICK by Evolv - Power Regulated E-cigarette Module
$47.95

The Kick
(the following is reprinted from http://www.evolvaper.com. Please read carefully before purchase)

The Kick from Evolv is Boosted Power Regulation in the form of a drop in module designed to be used in various tube devices with IMR batteries. Foremost, the Kick is designed to be used in 18650 sized metal tube devices (max 19.5 mm internal diameter) using an 18490 or 18500 IMR battery. It can also be used in 18500 sized tube devices (max 19.5 mm internal diameter) with an IMR 18350 battery. Some device manufacturers are looking into making extensions, or longer versions of their devices, to permit the Kick to be used with an 18650 IMR battery.

The Kick performs essentially the exact same Power Regulating function as the Darwin. Kick is a smaller version of the microprocessor electronics and programming as used in the Darwin. Power Regulation is exactly what the name implies – regulates the overall power (watts) output. Watts are the overall power output in any vaping combination of volts, amps and resistance (atty/carto ohms). The Kick detects the resistance of any atty/carto attached and automatically, and continuously, adjusts the volts and amps to deliver the user set watts level. Power Regulation provides the same power output (watts) even if the user changes resistance (different atty/carto). Boosted Power Regulation automatically compensates for any fluctuating variables, like battery drain curve and atty/carto resistance fluctuation (usually lowers over the life of an atty/carto) and thereby provides consistent overall power output (watts).

In vaping, we experience this overall power output (watts) as heat output. Power Regulation provides consistent watts which means consistent heat from first activation to last (as long as the atty/carto is properly fed with liquid). The Kick’s Regulated Power (watts) output range is adjustable from 5 to 10 watts.

On the Darwin, a digital screen permits the user to set pinpoint power levels in 0.1 watts increments. On the Kick, without the screen, settings are not as precise and yet it is still remarkably accurate. Using an under-load meter (with atty/carto attached) allows users to see the under-load voltage automatically change as they swap out various resistance attys/cartos.

The Kick has all the operational safety features of Darwin with low voltage cut-off and short circuit detection/activation-prevention.

Unlike variable voltage, the Kick’s Power Regulation microprocessor will automatically, and constantly, adjust both the volts and amps levels (as needed) to provide consistent watts (vaping heat) output. The Kick, once users finds their preferred watts output, is more of a set it and forget it design. This is because the Kick will boost and regulate the power to provide the same watts output consistently from first activation to the last regardless of the atty/carto resistance.

IMR batteries are REQUIRED. Boosting uses more current (amps). LR attys/cartos also use more amps. Some people will use LR attys/cartos and vape at boosted levels. The Kick is designed to accommodate these higher-level current (amps) demands but only IMR batteries have the ability to deliver the amps required. The Kick is designed to be used ONLY with IMR batteries. The Kick performs best with attys/cartos in the 1.3 to 3 ohms range.

You can see the full Kick operating instructions here: Kick Instructions Page

NOTE: The Kick is designed to be used ONLY as described on this website. The Kick module is NOT to be modified in any fashion. Using the Kick module in any configuration other than as described here, and on the instructions page, will VOID THE WARRANTY and will be at your own risk. EVOLV cannot warranty, or be responsible for, any user modifications to the device and/or any application other than as specifically described in the user instructions.

Yes! Now, before I place my order, I want to double check something. If I order the Natural + a Kick + an 18650 batter, I'm good to go? Besides a charger, I mean...

No... you'd want the 18500 battery +Kick ... The Kick take up about 15mm of space on whatever PV you use it in...

I haven't had a chance to tag it all up but from what I understand, SMOK made the base tube adjustable for the KICK. Has anyone tried this yet? I will try to do it myself when I get caught up.

Danno... You may want to try it with the 18500 tube and 18350 tube to see if you can fit a 18650 + Kick... It may require a different combination since the length of these extension tubes had confused me in a previous thread that this was discussed. I do know that what I had posted before will work... ie the original tubes plus the Kick should fit.

There's not much info out there about it. I saw one review somewhere that said they tried it with an 18650 + kick and it didn't thread all the way. To be on the safe side, I'll order a couple of 18500 batteries. I have an 18650 I can try and I'll report back on if it fits with the kick without an additional extension tube. Placing order now :D

*EDIT* Ordered! Can't wait :D

On the SMOK Natural:
The bottom (switch section) + the top (510 connector section) provide 15mm
The center tubes are 20mm, 30mm, and the optional 34mm.
The bottom cap can be adjusted out a mm or so, and the pos pin in the top section has a half a mm (maybe more) adjustment room.

We use:
  • the 20mm tube for an 18350;
  • the optional 34mm tube for an 18490/18500 (or an 18350+Kick);
  • the 20mm + 30mm tubes for an 18650 (or an 18490+Kick).

Seems that the 30mm + optional 34mm tubes would provide room for an 18650 + a Kick (with the bottom cap maybe gapped out 1mm depending upon the battery used).
