OK here's the deal....I've been using VV3s and IBTanks. My First VV started to die after only 2 months and innokin wouldn't return emails so I decided that I didn't want any more of that. I just ordered a mech (Copper/Red Stingray clone) and I want to continue to use my carto tanks for now, until I break down and try a KFL+. I'm also going to run a kick. Money is a bit tight, at the moment, and I was thinking about buying the original Evolv Kick, as you can get them for $20. I know there's improvements to the Kick 2 besides just an extended wattage/amperage range and I don't know if I should, bite the bullet and buy the new one or not. I hate cheaping out and then deciding that I need something else. What do you guys and gals think?
