Can some one explain the Kick 2 For Dummies? I understand you can set the voltage you want to vape at but does it do anything else? Does it extend the battery life? (Forgive the analogy, I can't think of another) I'm thinking it works something like a regulator on an air rifle. Unregulated, it shoots on a power curve. Regulated, it shoots at the sweet spot and by doing so, it levels it out and provides a few more shots. I'm thinking the Kick works similarly. It provides no more power to the mod than the setting so it basically stretches out the battery by removing the unregulated curve. Am I right at all?
Think you got the gist of it. You set it at lets say 8 watts , it will then regulate that setting from start to finish with no drop in performance. It adjust to the different resistance of whatever you top it with. SOme say it shortens how long the battery goes on that charge but then again, because the battery drops and we change it anyway it not really such a sacrifice.
The Kick 2 compared to the original has the added features that it can take lower resistances than the original. It also lets your battery drop a bit lower so get more battery time and goes up to 15 watts compared to the 10 that the original Kick had.
THe crown is similar to the Kick 1. It has the feature that you can choose to regulate the wattage or the voltage on the fly without having to take the module out and switch on the fly too.

im guessing you are trying to get to the kick page but it shoots to the home page for some reason. they only show kick v1 as out of stock. Super T ~ Evolv
they should have some kick2's in the future but i dont know when.
i like the kick2 since i am kind of picky about my vape and change batteries around 3.8v. with the kick2 i can run the battery down to 3.5 and get a great vape at the same time.

even though the kick2 will go down to .5ohms, 15w will yield 2.7v so it really is useless for actual use. only time i see that as a good thing is if you are just getting a genesis atty going and get a hot spot where ohms drop. you would still be able to use it and get the hot spot worked out. about 1ohm is as low as it will go with 15w giving you 3.7v.
Why is that? 15 watts is still 15 watts, whether you get it from 2 ohms @ 5.5 volts or 0.5 ohms @ 2.7 volts. Or are you saying its useless because you aren't getting 27 watts?
pretty much, i have never vaped a sub ohm at 15 watts so i cant say if its a good vape. i just think its not the safest thing to do and defeats the purpose of sub ohming when you are limited to 15w.
Why do you want to vape sub ohm anyway.....I tried a 0.8 ohm coil---hot vape that used a ton of juice.....A 3.0 ohm coil set a high wattage gives a much better vape period.....
For YOU, you forgot that part.
I definitely don't agree with that.You have practically no experience with sub-ohm, you can't judge it on something you tried once.
All my atties are sub ohm or at 1-1.1 ohms, and all of them is a cooler vape than say a regular carto with a regulated device. It comes down to what kind of attys you use, sub-ohm doesn't have to be very hot at all.
And of course it use more juice, that's the whole point, you get more vapor and flavour. Yet it's far from excessive use.
It's subjective.
Personally, I don't do regulated as I don't get the vape I want.
It must Snork because otherwise it could not use a 0.5 ohm atty as advertised.... Funny thing is that with my Kick using an inline voltage meter under load I would get the volts reading...With my Kick2 it still fires the atty (inline voltage meter attached) but gives no reading?
Most likely the meter can only read straight DC, the power from the Kick is probably PWM.

True not a lot of sub ohm experience, but a lot of high ohm experiance....The thing I like about regulated vaping is that the first hit is the same as the last hit through out the battery charge....CONSISTANCY

i like 1.5-2ohm 32ga myself. i tried a twisted 32ga at .7ohms but lost alot of flavor and got a bit more vapor. i dont sub ohm but it was a big deal that the kick2 went down to .5ohms. i think the biggest improvement was the ground pins vs the spring wire.
They must of changed the power output because the original Kick does give a reading under load. Strange?

With the right gear you get great consistency with mechs too, but not with 18350/18500. With my Reo Grand that takes a 18650, I go to work every morning with a fresh battery at 4.2V and 7.5-8 hours later my battery is still at 3.9-4.0V, for a mech it's pretty damn good!
So for my vaping "style" it certainly works out perfect. But would't suit someone that chainvape or something near that.Indeed. When I use my meter on my Vamo it only reads the PWM voltage, no matter which watt I set it to, if I set it to volts I get no reading at all.
The Kick 2 does step down. Or at least I remember reading that somewhere.
Here are the Kick2 stats from a website who sells them:
Output Power: 5 Watts to 15 Watts
Output Voltage: 2 Volts to 6.3 Volts ****Looks like it steps down voltage****
Output Current: 6 Amps
atomizer resistances: 0.5 Ohms to 3.3 Ohms
low battery cutoff: 2.7 Volts loaded
