I think there is going to have to be modding done to the grand, besides just removing the anodizing, to get it to work properly....just my own speculation

Question....if the max wattage limit of the kick is 10 watts, what kind of voltage limit are we talking about for the unit using a 3.7 IMR cell?
If my math is correct, it would max out at 3.88 volts on a 1.5 atty....not that impressive when you figure you could get a fairly good amount of vape time at 4ish volts on an IMR cell without the unit...
Please correct me if I'm wrong, which I very well could be as I don't know much about these things, but I thought the Kick employs some sort of boosting circuit that will pump out more voltage than the battery's native limit.
Again, I'm grasping at straws here and someone more knowledgable should probably chime in and point out my stupidity.
Well it will boost the voltage more on higher ohm attys. But it does have a 10 amp "safety" feature if I recall correctly. I'll check the math but maxing out at 3.8v for a 1.5 ohm sounds plausible.
But what it's evolv is known for os giving you the same vape on a 2.5 ohm as a 1.5 ohm for example without changing the setting.

Don't forget, the Darwin's max is over 12 watts, whereas the kick is only 10...
The IMRs can stand much more power than that. The 18490 for example could stand 22 amperes, the 18650 nearly 40 amps. (protected LiOn 18650 max. 6 amps).

The only problem with the kick is the watt limitation. .
Already using, for example, 2x tenergy 3.2v and atom of 3 ohms, you have 6.4 x 6,4/3 = 13.65 watts. (and even more, if one considers that the a freshly charged batt, are about 3.8 to v) The Kick reaches a maximum of 10 watts, which is too few.
Then for my habits, I just have to avoid it: I Vape from 13-14w and up

Not Really. Your probably getting more like 5.8 volts loaded. Which comes to around 11 watts.
ETA: I just tested my REO with stacked AW 3.2 cells. Unloaded its at 6.7 volts. When I put on a 3 ohm cisco atomizer the loaded voltage is 5.9 volts.
At 6.4 volts unloaded your probably getting 5.6 volts loaded which is just under 10.5 watts.

I just ordered a kick for my Grand amd 3 AW IMR 18490s. We'll see how this all works out.

You musta been waiting with the F5 at the same place I was
Well I got a Kick ordered
