Interesting news for modders and a question

PS. There IS some basis for his theories and thought processes. You must give him credit. Call him a scrutinizer – sometimes – well – a bit biased – but one to listen to... Or shrug off. If you don’t agree – no biggy. We all have independent minds.

Patiently waiting behind Dspin while trying to let the enormity of this particular devices consequences upon my life.

Well, I am not one to get into tech arguments or discussions but 1 thing needs to be clarified. The batteries in a Darwin are in parallel, not series. The darwin does not step down voltage. As to everyone out there this is a discussion about a particular item, the KICK. I am not trying for what WILL inevitably turn into an argument of EPIC proportions, just trying to bring news to all that will hear me about a new and game changing product. I appreciate all of the input, and realize that many people out there have opinions and are entitled to them, however I am trying to get people aware of this item, give them first looks and tech data, and do a review after building my own mod from it.

To all that have been waiting I thank you and to all that I have not been able to get back to on an immediate basis please read my store threads to find out why. I will be rectifying this in the middle of this upcoming week. Please don't regard this as snarky, I am trying my best to keep the discussion on point and it seems that there are people that for whatever reason cannot see the genius of this product, and would rather rally behind (another product) and basically shun all others.

I know this is long winded, and I thank you all for taking the time to read it. Please from this point on keep all questions and statements centered on the KICK. I will do my best to answer promptly and accurately.

I am not a modder, but definitely interested in this stuff... the Kick.
I guess it's similar to what the K box is like (Geni LV)... or same category; regulated. Something many non modders don't know about.

 

[jayvolt]

Not exactly, I have 2 Kronos units incoming. They are PWM (pulse width modulated) meaning they use a varied pulse in electricity to achieve a drop in voltage, while some VV units that are on the market use PWM it is more for saving battery life than a function of greater heat output.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

so if it doens't drop voltage that means it can use a 3.7 and boost for higher wattage? that would be a dream for me. ALl I need is a circuit that will allow me to connect an analog pot with a thumb wheel so I can boost a 3.7 up to ~6v, 7 woul dbe great but 6 would be enough

I don't care about displays or any of that junk. I want my mods to be simple in their form and use.

test edit.

 

[jayvolt]

Thats correct Lance. And give me a call tomorrow or monday. I can fill you in.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

will do I'll be in the lab workin on my tanks, mods, and tips all day so I'll buzz you maybe lunchish?

 

[jayvolt]

sounds good.

 

[harmonic]

this looks like a very promising device. thanks jay for bringing us the info i look forward to hearing more

 

[jayvolt]

thanks Harmonic, as you all know it is a slower than we want process so please bear with me, I don't think that they have come this far to release an inferior product. That means a little bit of pretesting and QC work even before i get a few to show and tell. I am waiting on a phone call with news of a shipment and that should be in the next few days and I will post with a tracking number if i get one so you all can get all postman stalky with me.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

my excitement is barely contained

Do you happen to know the max wattage it's capable of? The darwin is limited to 12.something correct? hoping the Kick goes a bit higher.

 

[jayvolt]

Some where in the same range but don't quote me till I have one in front of me. I will tell you from personal experience that at 12 whats the darwin blows my head off. 10 seems to be the sweet spot for most high end juices and 9.4 is my fav for Bobas.

 

[Lance_Wallen]

I personally vape between 8.5 and 10.0 depending on which of my DIY juices I'm vaping. the reason I asked is cause I've seen it come up before as a 'complaint' about the darwin and was wondering if maybe the range was increased. I still want em, but I also want every single tidbit of information I can squeeze from you
