Having trouble with a brand new Kick2 in the New PAPS X. Using real AW IMRs both 18350 and 18650 with the Kick2. Both leave a gap. Can't screw it all the way together. Wondering if Evolve changed the Kick2 module... Extra pin included is longer so that wouldn't help right?


I am having the same problem, but only in 18350 mode. I can get the 18490 and 18650 modes to work with the kick 2, but not the 18350.
When I try to use the 18350 mode I am left with a big gap. In 18490 mode I used the 18650 parts without the kick ring and was able to that to fit. In 18650+kick I just add the kick ring and that is OK too. I am also using real AW IMR batteries.

Maybe one of the pro's around here can tell me what I am doing wrong lol. In 18350+ kick mode I am using the tube that has threads on both sides and the kick ring.

I wanted to give Chad some props for a recommendation he made. www.nirvanavapor.com Kali's Coconut Burfi juice...I bought a small bottle to try, and it is one of the best I've ever had. Complex, balanced, and not too sweet. Even though it's a bit expensive, I will be going back for a big bottle.

Awesome good to hear, I should really get around to ordering a bottle. That juice is truly amazing.

Nice write up , makes me even more excited about mine showing up.

I'll have my X1.5 in about 18 hours.… This be my first mech that cost me more than 50$ am I can't wait till I have it.

Likewise, the most expensive mech I had prior to this was a Magneto. I wanted to see if I even liked this style of vaping before diving in with a more expensive mod. Mech's now account for much of my daily vaping, though one of my favorite vapes is still a 1.5ohm micro coil at 12-15 watts regulated.

The wait will have been worth it, trust me!

I had the same gap with my x with a 18350 + kick2... but it really depends on your atomizers positive pin in the 510 and how long it sticks out.

I have a nice 3.1 Kf that will look nice atop :).

Ha ha, nano kit kfl is as big as I go buddy....ok maybe full size kfl or russian 91%. Plus I think they are coming out with new kayfuns. I think I saw a bead blasted one that has the same finish as the russian. Im waiting for my russian to get scratched up so I can put a brush finish and nano kit on it:) I do not think the finish will hold up if I carry it. I have only used it at home so far

    How'd you get a glass tank on that Russian? I thought those tanks were nearly identical to the Kayfun Lites. Was it a kit you ordered for it?

    Love D/D. I'll never forget leaving for the USMC on my 17th and thinking about having to give it up. Surprisingly, there where and are a ton of players I found after training and it would keep us busy in our down time. Never could wrap my head around the hard core tough guys that were just flat out nuts in the field and would settle into a geek mentality to play D/D.

    I did EQ1 from the get-go until, 2011 I think? It was kinda hard living outside the game world, now I'm doing my gaming on a PS3 - stuff like single player open world games - was never a raider and EQ got to the point that if you didn't raid, you got no kewl lewt...

    AW has 2 kinds of IMR 18650 with different capacity, 1600 mAh and 2000 mAh. The latter ones are out of specs. A French vaper suggested an unorthodox, but simple approach in case a certain Kick2 module with a certain battery configuration leaves a small gap: cutting the silver plated spring by half will make the top cap close without a gap. Don't forget also to adjust the atty's 510 connection, beforehand. Brandon from Evolv is a pretty cooperative chap and he offered to measure 200 Kick2 units, at the time we're designing the GPin to give us an average estimate about its length. Exceptions can always happen though. Not all batteries and all Kick2 have the same length.
