Kicking Smoktech E-Power?

[Commie]

I wonder -- can smoktech e-power or it's JoyE counterpart be kicked?

Thank you for any input!

Which E-Power model?

 

[yzer]

If it helps, both the E-Power 14650 and the E-Power 18650 feature voltage regulated at 3.7V. You can use a Kick to convert a mechanical mod (APV) that features only an ON/OFF switch to VV. I don't believe there is any easy way to use use a Kick with a mod (APV) that already features advanced regulation circuitry.

The E-Power regulated 3.7V keeps output at 3.7 while the battery is charged from 4.2 to 3.7V. Unlike the Kick this voltage regulation circuitry can not boost voltage and has no VV function.

18650, sorry about it

No, it's can't be kicked.
Unless you strip the voltage regulated feature.

I know for sure that the E-Power 14650 is voltage regulated. What I know from reading about the E-Power 18560 V1 and V2 is that both are voltage regulated as well.

 

[Commie]

ah, thank you!
When you say "strip" -- will it do if I just use the upgrade switch to turn it to unregulated mode?

 

[YKruss]

I know nothing about unregulated switch, sorry.

But if it exists - then YES, you can kick it.

P.S.: again, if unregulated switch exists then you have to get 18490/18500 battery + kick
