Chi You clone for first Mech set up, will it all work together?

[dragonsdeath]

I've put together my first mechanical mod set up and going to order tomorrow. I really like my smok SiD, but looking to go beyond that.
From every thing I've read this should all work together well but wanted to get some input.
What do you all think?





Chi You Mod Clone








Kraken Clone








AW IMR 18650

The Kick - By SMOK Tech so I can use my Kanger Aerotank and protank 2 with the Chi You

I think you'll like that setup, EXCEPT for one thing.....

I found that the Chi You clone (at least mine)'s Inner Diameter is not really conducive for running a kick. But then again I was trying to use a Kick 2 by Evolv (not sure about the smok Tech one).....BUT, The inner diameter of the Chi clone is quite a bit bigger than the outer diameter of the Kick, so you end up with quite a bit of rattle & poor connectivity.....to resolve this, I folded up a small piece of plastic and 'shoved' it down behind the Kick to keep it in place...

besides that though, the Chi is a really nice Clone, as is the Kraken clone (I have the HCigar one).....I think you'll like the two a lot!!

I was never able to get mine to fire. Pretty sure the battery wasn't making contact with the atty, but couldn't figure out how to get it to do so - I tried adjusting using the pin and everything, but couldn't get it to work. It makes a pretty display piece, at least.

Thanks for the reply's. jpcwon did an 18650 battery fit with the kick. from my research online I think it will but wanted to verify.

I would get the extended firing pins for the Chi and magnet upgrade, I got my clone working great, no battery rattle, ..but it's not for everybody. Mine now sits flushes with attys, but has really short throw with the extended pins. I would go with VCT5/4 Sony's...never know when you need that huge AMP buffer if your atty build need it.

I never tried Kick with my Chi, only my Nemesis..my kick 2 died after 2 weeks...no idea why....but I've been "kickless" and just build my atty's accordingly.

Looks like this would be a better battery than the AW, and would work ok if I build a lower ohm coil in the Kraken if I'm not mistaken.

I got my first Chi clone and finding it is very good, my kicks fit in OK but there are quite a few variants out there so the suggestion of the packing piece will help a great deal.

Here's my Chi...

It's a tight fit but yes, you can make an 18650 work with a Kick in the Chi....

The Chi clone is a great mod; don't let the kick thing steer you away from getting it...you can make it work with a little finagling....

Chi you is a fantastic mod!!
Remove the smaller pin ( the top battery contact that adjusts for battery rattle), and shim the kick, if needed,with a slice of paper so the contact is touching the wall of the mod.

I've only ever seen ones that were a rather smooth tubes with just some symbols etched near the base (and a rather fancy head) but never one with all those etchings. Where did you get that?

Well ended up ordering an MNKE and Sony VCT4 battery with every thing else. Guess I'll see how the two compare.
