Disappointed with kick clone.

[Dzaw]

Among all my new toys,mi included the smoke tech kick clone. Shouldn't have bothered.

i wanted it in case the production from my carto tank was too light from staring battery power. Well, it's a bit light under 3.7 volts, ute just dandy when the battery is at 3.7 or more.

with the kick clone in, power does indeed go back up, but the rattlesnake is back! I thought I killed that darned snake when I stopped using my vamo. The PWM on the kick clone is slow enough that I might as well just go back to the vamo.

no matter. Lots of other new toys that seem to be working beautifully. I'll probably end up listing it on the classifieds at some point.

Guess this is just a Rant and the kick actually works?

Funny thing, my Killer 705's (basically hollow) are China Kicked(33hz?) and never give off the Rattle.

I think certain devices tend to amplify the noise.

Mmmmm... could be. ;-)

 

[Iffy]

Ummm... neither of my Kick clones 'speak' to me.

Yeah, just a bit of a rant... The product works as advertised, just not as well as I had hoped.

i got one for around 8 bucks shipped.

How in the world could something at that price point disappoint if it works?

I have a fasttech kick, and it really seems to depend on what atomizer you're using it with. Personally, I've only used the kick with 2 of them, a Protank II and a Rocket kayfun clone. The Protank sounds like a rattle snake is actually in the tube, to the point I almost think I feel the mod vibrating. But with the rocket, it's not even noticeable.

Having now used it with the Rocket, I believe the rattlesnake effect is nothing more than noise, and doesn't realistically effect the vape.

....despite what anyone says after me.

In direct competition for crxess' "Guess this is just a Rant and the kick actually works?" 'Quote of the Day'... so far. ;-)

It really does not, despite the debates of the elitist. Claims of hot/cold/hot/cold are from those with no understanding. Even a glass top stove cycles the heat to maintain temperature.
I have little doubt those same people regularly use microwaves Pulsing energy to cook

In 5......4.........3........2......

Best quote ever..

yea.. cant say i enjoy hamburgers cooked that way either.(pssst it boils molecules - not by pulse heating)


no matter what, the real kicks are dc to dc converters................

Why would anyone buy a Kick clone when the original is already so inexpensive?

8 bucks shipped. Truth is I have no real need for the device but wanted to try it.

Exactly. $8.33/Free Shipping. Works as adverstised.

I've built a couple atomizers with using the kick in mind...more battery life, adjustability, etc, etc, but always ending up rebuilding for unregulated. Just finished recoiling the Rocket to 1Ω.

My Vape Will Not Be Restrained!

Psssst......... I know........It pulses Microwave energy to boil molecules. Rebuilt a few in my time.

Guess I should have said Sturs - and then they bounce all over the place in there.

Under $10 and gives regulated power to mechanicals for high ohm atomizers. Priceless! Turn up the music and it's harder to hear the rattlesnake I noticed that some mod and atomizer setups or combinations caused more rattlesnake effect than others.

I purchased the Evolv kick 2, a few months ago, and am totally happy with it. Have it dialed at max output of 15 watts, and it provides a great consistent vape for all my standard ohm builds. Now if they'd just come out with a kick30, I'd be a happy vaper. lol

No rattlesnake from the kick 2, just smooth consistent vape.

I have been using a smok kick for about a week and I have found that I can change that rattlesnake by improving the ground connection. It nevers goes away but becomes more, and less pronounced. Try a piece of business card as a shim opposite of the ground pin, and if you have it in a cheap mod like me, rough up the inside with a bit of sandpaper.
I personally chose the clone because I could shop for zmax and the like for the price of an evolve kick.
