Hey guys I looking into getting a kick for my new mod I just got its a k100 with a 1.8 ohm kanger protank. Now from my understanding I dont need a kick to run wht I have.But do I need to use a kick if I want to use high ohm attys or carto tanks? As far as setting the watts is there a standard setting? Like can I just set it to 6 watts and then I would b good to vape any ohm atty or carto or a low watt setting or a higer watt? Im still really new to vaping . Ps I know I can get a mod that will do all of that for me but do to some physical issue's the mechanical mod with the big bottom button is the way tp go for me. Any help or info anyone can give me would b a big help. Thank u.
Okay - I know a couple of people have already answered your question, but there are a few things which haven't necessarily been covered. If you want to use high res atties/cartos, then yes - you will need a kick to get the same heat, vapour production and flavour as you would at 3.7V on a low res atty/carto. One of the advantages of vaping higher resistances at higher voltages is extended battery life:
1.8 Ohms @ 3.7V = 7.61W and 2.06A
3.0 Ohms @ 4.5V = 7.68W and 1.60A
The boost circuit in the Kick is pretty efficient, so there isn't a huge effect on battery life when vaping at voltages above the native voltage of the battery you're using - meaning that the reduced current draw at higher voltages is still very relevant.
