I just bought a empire clone k100. I would like to get the best performance possible out of it. I have never done rebuildables so I am hesitant to go into those. Do you think I should kick my device?
I just bought a mechanical. Help.

I don't have nor have ever used a kick, but I do own a K100 and can say that I really don't feel the need to get one. I do have a vamo that has VV/VW so I get the idea behind the kick (which as I understand makes a mech VW) but I think it works just fine with LR carto's and other devices. If it seems weak to you, you might consider a kick or rebuildables. I don't do sub ohm coils (I like to stay around 1.1 to 1.2) but that extra little bit lower than "standard" LR can help. Just make sure any way you go to have decent batteries.
I ordered a couple 18350s from fasttech with it. I have a couple cisco spec LR attys en route as well. Hopefully it all works out, since I got it for around $22-24 I don't mind shelling out the 40 for the kick should the need arise. My current mod is the iTaste MVP.
If you don't rebuild then you might not be all that happy with the results. At least I'm not. Me personally, I'd either kick it to get decent performance from LR attys and cartos or Id rebuild. An Igo, some 30g and cotton for the wick could probably be bought for less then a kick as well. I use a kick for battery drop.
Anybody out there know the best place to order the Kick? The cheapest I have found it is at Altsmoke.
I agree - get the kick if you're not making your own coils. But - making your own coils can be really easy. I have been making wicks and coils for my ProTank at right around 1.1ohms and it's just awesome on a mechanical.
BTW - I'm not sure what kind of batteries you ordered from Fasttech - but if they are not IMR then I would say definitely get a kick and don't try rebuildables until you get some good IMR batteries.

If you're not going to use a rebuildable with your mechanical, I suggest you use a kick.
Even if you do start rebuilding a kick is nice, it takes a while to get your set up dialed in and get to the point where your really satisfied with your end product. In the mean time your kick will be there to smooth out the learning curve by letting you adjust it to the coil you wrapped and not having to start over.
If you're going to kick it, and you're in a badget, try the sigelei kick. I bought one in a co-op (12$), but it can be also purchased here for 29$ (or maybe chepear with other vendors)
You could just throw a LR Bridgeless atty on there and you'd have a great vape but, I'd suggest getting a silica atty like the IGO-L, S, or W to start playing with, you should also get a multimeter you can get one for about $20. After that pick up the AGA-T it works great on the K-100. Watch some videos and have some fun with it. If your not up for all that and you want to throw a carto/clearomizer on it I'd get the kick.
damn ... Guess I'm doing all wrong ... LMAO
I'm using a mechanical, no kick, and no rebuildable. Just a good battery, and a good atomizer.
More than anything else, if you skimp on the battery ... you will not like your mechanical PV.
