thank you for posting this. i have been waiting for the stutter vape to let me know my batt was dying. i have been using this mod on and off for a few days, so i was expecting it soon.
i just went ahead and checked my batt voltage on the provari...3.6v, not bad! this thing might be getting even better batt life then the real kick. its hard for me to tell without independantly vaping both solo. i mix it up so often. its at least as good on batt life as the kick, i'll say that.
ive got my kick clone in my CHaravela- fits perfectly. the real kick was a tight fit by 1mm or so length-wise, but the kick clone fits perfectly. which is nice, as this is the mod i bought the clone for. for gits and shiggles, i tried the clone in my ChiChi and it doesnt fit. the diameter is just a tad too big.



yep, theres an index map on the deck of the device.

i think i may be reaching the low battery voltage "cutoff" supplied by the kick clone. seeing how im approaching 3.5v, this seems to be true: im getting zero vape when i first press my fire button. but if i hit it again, it fires. maybe the sigelei kick does this instead of a stutter vape. anyone else gettign this on theirs?

I think you may be right. Sometimes I would get nothing when I hit the fire button and then the very next time it would work. I did notice a change in vape quality as well. As the battery became very low there was a noticeable drop in power.

From the pics, it has uncovered components on the PCB on the outside.

That is an immeditate fail, if you ask me. One accidental short and POOF!

Get a piece of heat-shrink tubing at any hardware or electronics store (available in many colors, including clear), cut to fit, grab a hair dryer...you're done - Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy.

So out of curiosity...what has everyone been paying for these?

I'm in an ECF CO-op that just closed .... I got TWO for $28.26 ...delivered (about $11 each + delivery etc) . I don't know what they will be going for when they hit the retailers, but for the price, I figure I couldn't loose....

Yeah that seems in line with what I would expect to pay, 15-20. I saw them somewhere, can't recall, for 30. I thought that was a bit close to buying an actual kick for 45

yep, i notice the drop in power too. its the same on my vamo. i think the sigelei kick and the vamo use very similar components. i even get a slight "helicopter/rattlesnake" reminicent of a vamo vape. all in all im am not displeased. ive got my evolv kick and provari when i want to nix the PWM blues, which isnt too terribly often. plus it was $17 shipped for goodness sake. White Stag Vapor. they just upped the price slightly for $20 shipped preorder. if you buy one they have in stock, its $30.

Just got mine today. Never used anything like this.. So where the 2 dots is is where the indicator is? How bout the wattage?

yep, the line in between the two dots is your indicator. look at the map of the wattage numbers on the deck of the device- looks kinda like a clock. lowest setting is around 7 o'clock and highest is about 5 o'clock. i rock mine at about 2 o'clock which i think is 8.5-9W. sure seems like it. either way, im diggin the vape.

Does anyone know if it requires a high drain battery like the Evolv Kick?

yes. absolutely use high drain. AW is a great choice.

The Co-op was for 100 units..it filled up pretty fast - within 24 hours + about 30 people on a wait list. There was a delay due to problems with PopMoney, so the order won't go out until Monday....then we start stalking the Postman. :)

'Don't know if there will be a round 2, but the Co-op is here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/active-coops/425725-official-sigelei-kick-co-op-co-op.html

Got mine today from Richman for $22, shipping included. Only problem I have is that it won't fit in all my mods except for my moneypenny mod. Not my paps, roller, 69, K-100, or nemesis. From how it performed on the moneypenny, looks like it's time to get an actual Kick. That or get mods that will fit.
