I don't know I can't get my mitts on a Kick but as soon as I do I'm going to figure out a way to work it out, let us know what you come up with
I used metallic duct tape (kinda like aluminum foil, but sticky on one side) Ran a strip from beneath the spring up the side to where the Kick grounds. Occasionally it will shift and I have to rotate the Kick a bit to reset the ground--but overall it works very well.
Would some 22 guage wire work? Because if you loosen the screw to the spring you could slip it underneath and flatten the wire end out then screw it back down, that would make a clean connection, but I am unfamiliar with the kick

Yes, the wire would work. But you have to attach the other end to the spring on the Kick. So, if you want to move it to another mod, it would have to be disconnected.
The wire idea sounds the best as i dont wanna alter the grand at all. And with a wire u could easily take it off . Im not too worried about putting it in another device as it prolly wont leave the grand ever lol
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tips!
Ever heard of copper tape? Comes in 1/8th inch widths. Its used in making stained glass pieces. Sticky on one side, and very conductive. Sold in hobby/craft stores.
the biggest downside of grounding it to the wall of the unit is it could move around and then you gotta make a template to hold the kick inside. i think a wire is the more practical way as it can move alil all it wants and still be connected
man it's really bugging me that people are selling their kicks in the classifieds for twice as much as they paid for them they're taunting me because there is no way in hell I'm going to pay that for something I can pick up for 45 bucks in another week or so
I tried the wire and the contact was not great. I haven't tried the tape yet but I will. I made an eraser mod to hold the Kick right and sanded off the anodization. It always stays in place and I think it would make the mod worth even more if it worked well with the kick.
My erasure is working great. THe Kick doesn't move at all. I get a solid, consistent hit every time. I carry my GRand out and about. I can pop the erasure out easily if I have to clean the Grand or change wattage. With what I'm vaping I just leave it at 8.5 watts and vape away. So far, so good. Besides the Grand, I think the Kick is the best money I've spent on vaping.
What resistance atty/carto are you using and what kind of battery life are you getting? I've asked this question a couple different places and no one will share with me. *sniff*
I am using joye 1.5 306s only because thats what I had in stock in my vape inventory. Next time I order I'll probably order some sr 306s. I've also used Resurectors 1.7s but my main vape is the 306s.
I'm using new IMR AW 18500s. I am geting about 8-9 hours per battery. THe amount of juice I get through a battery is about 2- 2.5 ml. I find myself vaping about 5 ml per day. After the Kick shuts down a battery it reads 3.5 volts. I am running 8.5 watts. I am changing batteries less than I used to do with the 18650s.
I know many people will love their VV Reos because of the consistency of vape they will have and the flexibility of using different attys and having the ability to easily dial in the amount of heat they favor. These artibutes are also available with the Kick. I enjoy my Kick so I am sure the VV will be very nice and it will have the added advantage of easy accessibility of the voltage adjustment, longer battery life and more heat than the Kick can provide if desired.
THe advantage of the Kick in a Grand is a one battery system instead of two, the ability to take the Kick out and clean the Grand in water, and you can insert an 18650 if the Kick dies.
I would die to have one of the VV Reos Rob is working on now but funds are lacking sorely so I Kick it. Such is life.

Soldered? I'm still thinking I want to give copper foil a try. I got some time. Still no Kicks at my house.

Nope just stuck it in the spring in the kick and the spring in the woodville and twisted. It's on the bottle side so there is plenty of room. It has been working strong for 2 days now. Been using it with the 2.5 IKENvape SS cannon with some Virgin Vapor Kona Cream ECO Pure. Got the Kick turned up to about 8.5 - 9watts. It meters out at 4.7-8v
I used coffee to get out the smell of the Boba's bounty, so it was a logical choice. Tastes like a rich chocolate, without all the calories. Really coats the mouth. But it better be awesome, that stuff isn't cheap and is a treat. I think I am about to try my hand and DYIing some Rootbeer.
