I have a Magneto with a sigelei kick and love it. Id like to squeeze a bit more power out of it though. I was about to order the kick 2 untill I saw rip trippers youtube video this morning. He says the kick 2 does not fit. Now im trying to figure out what to do, what works and what doesnt. Id like to hear from you if you have a magneto with a kick of any type. Does the kick 1 fit? Is the kick 2 bigger than the sigelei kick? What about the smoktech kick, does it fit? Maybe its luck of thw draw. My sigelei kick needed a bit of sanding on one edge to fit. Will this work with the kick 2? Id appreciate any knowledge you could KICK my way. (Sorry, couldnt resist)
kicking the Magneto. What works and what doesnt?

The Smok Kick (5-12 watt) clone fits... or should I say "might" fit. Luck of the draw? I had to sand a bit on one because the top and bottom PCBs weren't soldered concentric to one another, but the second one snugged in tight, but with no modifications, on an early, fixed 510 pin, Magneto.
If you want to pay for one, a Crown fits too, and they're shorter than the Kicks by a good 6-7mm.

Thanks Flux. Im wondering if the Kick 2 can be made to fit like we made the clones fit.
I had a Kick 2 and it fit the original Magneto. I gave it away, and don't have it here to measure for you... all I have "on hand" are a few Smok Kicks and a Crown. I've not seen the video you're talking about, but I seriously doubt that anyone making Kick type devices, including the original Kick maker - evolv - would make one that doesn't fit a typical 18mm diameter battery tube... considering that was the intention.
Now, saying that, I'm also sure that we will run into variances in the limits of manufacturer's tolerance. Individual issues of minimums vs. maximums will always exist where we're dealing with close tolerance devices from multiple manufacturers. Me personally, I'm an engineer, so making things bigger and/or smaller to fit is no big deal for me... for others, well, that's another story.
I guess what I'm saying here (in a big, round-about way that seems to go on forever
) is that I can't tell you for sure that what you order will drop right in... mine does (did), but yours may not.
