Kicked Reo Grand & 18490?

[Quigsworth]

Hello Everybody, I just received in the mail a few days ago a new Reo Grand. I had ordered it to use my kick with it I got a couple a weeks earlier. I have it installed but not very well. I was looking through this thread and saw all on the great ways to secure the Kick. I especially liked the way people used the kick stand with a lexan piece. Does any body know who I can buy these modifications from. I would appreciate this very very much. Thank you everybody! Craig
Loving my Reo Grand.

I'm the guy that made the Lexan extended stand...all you need is a 1" x 2" piece of 6mm Poly Carbonate or Lexan (any glass shop or sign shop will have it and will probably just give it to you)...don't use plexyglass, it'll just crack and break before you're done...a hacksaw and a small file set (and a small bench vice helps)...and depending on your skill level, an hour or 2 of your time...

here is the kick working fine with nothing special to hold it

This is exactly how I run my Kicked Grand..

 

[Quigsworth]

Fair enough...but if anyone is interested, I just traded my Kick (to someone without a Grand) and will be putting my extended Kick on the classy's now.

I am using the kick with a piece of wire
and I never had any problems, the contact is guaranteed

The Kick works great, it's just I've been vaping for about 10 months now and my experimenting is kind of done, I've settled into nothing but 1.5 - 1.8 ohm io6's or cisco 306's for my feeders and all my other atty's are rebuildable...In fact I just picked up a DCA for dripping so the Provari may go next, it hasn't left 3.9v forever...now it's nothing but a very expensive tube mod with a juice cup and an ohmmeter

Thanks to all the Renauts here who gave me ideas to secrure my kick in the Reo Grand, I went the erasure method it bwas quick and easy. Does not look very professional but it works. Fits very snug,

Thanks Everybody!

Hey guys I was wondering if someone could clear this up for me... will I get more battery life with kick from higher resistance atty/carto like 2.5 ohm rather than having 1.7ohm low res? which is the best way to go?

Less battery life with SR compared to LR, but I think LR attys/cartos may decrease the effective life of The Kick itself. I base that on a hunch and not much else.

I believe you'll get better battery life with a higher ohm atty. More volts are used but less amps. Check it out using many of the ohms law calculators that are online.From my experience I am getting longer battery life with 2.3s than I was with 1.5s. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not a electronics guru at all.

My explanation is counter intuitive to me....lol. It doesnt make sense but this is my understanding of Ohms Law. I really would like to hear from others that have knowledge on this because I am confused,

Hey guys I was wondering if you could tell me if this battery would do fine on a grand with kick 18500 High Drain Rechargeable Batteries (2) - Moju Republic , its the blue IMR, is it safe to use it with kick on a grand? many thanks

Those should work, but they might not preform as well as AW brand 18490 batteries. They appear to be BDL's.

I'm using it with the kick

for the moment, just a month that use,
I have to see over time how long will

My kick died after a week. I sent it back to evolv but I fear the next one may do the same thing.

 

[jifjifjif]

Hey guys. I am about to pick up a kick and was hoping there was a video or picture tutorial on sanding the anodizing off a grand to make it kick ready.

TIA.
