    Easy Kick set up:
    Tighten the switch contact screw all the way tight, Loosen the positive post in the top cap, and screw your head of choice all the way down on the top cap. Then screw the positive post in to make cantact. Put the kick in the kick extension, and a 18650 IMR button top battery in the tube. Adjust your air flow, and then enjoy your vape.

    I'll add that I *also* am a big fan of the Nemesis in 18650 + Kick mode. Fits & works perfectly in this config, in addition to looking sharp and being hassle / maintenance free. The ONLY thing I don't care for (and I have 3) is the locking ring. I mean, it's a small, small issue, and just a personal preference thing, but I just wish there were a 'better way' than twisting that 2-3 times each time. You can't be 100% sure it won't fire when you put it down, so it's an all the time lock/unlock thing. Again, it's not a huge issue and I love these things and support Atmomixani and have been loving on them for months!

    That said, I have a V3tronix Flip and a Vaper's Knoll Gnome coming in soon, and both of those have bottom buttons that seem to solve my issues but we'll see ;)

    The beauty of the V3tronix Flip is that it's designed to be used with an 18650+Kick/Kick2.

    In any other configuration, you can't see the full engravings (which go 2mm deep in some places).

    V3tronix actually sells battery-spacers so that you can run an unregulated 18650 setup without the Kick 2 and still see the full engravings.

    Imho, it's not only the best 18650+Kick Mod, but the most incredibly well designed, built, and performing mechanical mod ever produced. Period.

    Bar None.

    The Flip won't fire under it's own weight when you set it down, and as a bonus, the button lock is fantastic.

    I also recommend the Nemesis. 99% of the time, I use mine with 18650 plus a Kick2.

    I have four Kick2's, three Hcigar Nemesis clones and a "new to me" authentic Nemesis. Aside from the serial number, they are identical in look, feel and performance. After much experimentation, I have them set at 7W, 9W, 10W and 11W to accommodate my different atomizers and I couldn't be happier. My coils run from 1.0 - 2.2 ohms and those settings just plain work for me. I'm simply a flavor guy, not a cloud chaser.

    I've tried everything from cheap stick batteries to mid-range chinese mods to Provaris. I still have a couple of VW/VV mods on the shelf purely for the sake of variety, but if I had a single Nemesis and a Kick2, I'd be perfectly satisfied for all my vaping needs.

    +1....I am loving my Nemmy clone with Kick2 installed. I mostly vape 1.1-1.8 Ohm Kayfuns and my Taifun, and the 18650 with Kick delivers plenty of power IMHO....I usually vape around 12-13 watts and get great flavor all the time. Not interested in cloud-chasing for the most part...if I want to do that, I remove the Kick and use a dripper with dual coils....

    It's a very robust switch indeed, with plenty of tactile grip. It makes the switches on my Nemmies feel downright dainty :)
    But yes, it certainly isn't firing under it's own weight when unlocked, and that's with an 18650, Kick, and Origen RDA on there. I mean, you could put 2 full Kayfuns on there and it won't fire unlocked, but then with your pinky it's still no problem. The switch feels a bit clunky, but the performance is great.

    Any other kick2 compatible mods?
    I'm sure there are a few others beyond what has been mentioned here already... and by kick2 compatible I'm assuming you mean 18650+kick (1 or 2). Another one would be the Nzonic line of mods. They seem quite nice, esp. with the magnetic switch stock.
