I got 3 vtc5 and 2vtc4 it's a struggle the charger can bearaly keep up. A battery last about 45 min

Wow, I vape pretty heavily and yet one 18490 lasts me pretty much all day from 7:00am till around 11:00 PM . What do you do to only get 45 minutes from a battery?

I rotate an 18650 about 4 or 5 times a day in my REO vaping at roughly .3 ohms.

I'd probably give up on vaping if I had to charge a battery every day.


1300mah ego will last me 2 full days and then some, Mvp will last me 4. I Use one of my 1300mah egos for work and it'll last me all week, the mvp takes the brunt of the home use and will last 4-5. No amount of delicious vape could make me charge more frequently.

Lucky you for your ability to not chain vaping[emoji1]
I usually charge my ego twist 1300mAh batt twice a day back in the day when i still use it (some couple months ago) lol

I was wondering, does a kick improves battery life?

It does not improve battery life (It actually shortens battery life when compared to a regulated device), but it does give you a stable voltage output that does not decreases as the battery charge state decreases. That is its appeal.

For example, let's say that you like vaping at 1 ohm and 15 watts (The max setting of the Kick). That is about 3.9 volts.

With an unregulated mech, you're only going to be around 3.9 volts for a very short period of time as the battery discharges. Once you're down around 3.5 volts, your power is down to 12.25 watts, and at 3.3 volts, and 10.9 watts at 3.3 volts.

With the Kick, you set your desired wattage and it will maintain your desired 3.9 volts constantly until the battery needs charged, whereas without the Kick, you may very well be changing the battery out at 3.5 volts.

Hope that makes sense!

What about if we set the kick to 10w in the first place? Isn't that just using constant 3.3ish volt on a 1 ohm atty so it draws less power from the beginning not like the regular 4.2v on a fresh charged battery?

The lower you run your power setting, the longer your battery will last. However, you're still going to lose a little capacity, regardless of how low you keep it set.

Think of it this way. Imagine that the battery is a tank full of electrons. It can only provide so many electrons before it needs charged. With a Kick, the stream of electrons to your atomizer will remain steady, but some of those electrons will be going to power the Kick module itself.
