Mutant 26650 Clone - Kick Compatible?

[sedition]

Hi all,

Done some searching and haven't found anything definitive. Can the Mutant 26650 be fitted with a Kick?

When it arrives on the slow boat from China, I'll be using it with an Aerotank Giant (1.5 - 1.8 coils) and a kayfun Lite, coil builds in the same range. Not interested in sub-ohm'ing or cloud chasing, just want a nice, reliable setup - HOPEFULLY with an added Kick to keep the battery around 3.7. I should note I've got a small wood/metal shop available so if all the module needs is a ring to secure it, I can likely make it.

The kick needs a separate ground connection to the tube. You will have to fashion that.

It also adds 15mm to the overall length. I don't see a extension tube for the mutant.

Bad choice all around.
Not designed to kick

Several renditions are Poorly Cloned.
Sons was recalled for defective switch design. Exposed magnets not allowing proper switch plates to contact on closure.

Okay - so I'll have the AT Giant and KF Lite, both 30mm diameter. Which 26650 mods should I be looking at to use these on? Obviously need to be safe, kick compatible is a bonus.

Kicks are made for 18xxx mods.

If you were to use a 26500 cell and make something to attach the grounding prongs of the kick to the body of the mod it could work, but its a lot more trouble than what it is worth IMO.

Just use the mod as is. If you know what you are doing you have a much more advanced safety feature than anything you can buy, your brain.

congestus is bigger at ~32.5mm but has a good switch (if you are okay with sidefire). It telescopes so the added length of kick is do-able but you will still have to craft something to get the kicks ground rigged up.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not sure if I'm being overly cautious here (if there is such a thing), but given the VapeBlast incident I'd rather ask here and now, rather than from the burn ward. Putting the kick compatibility aside, are there any issues I need to be aware of here?


As I said, Aerotank Giant w/ 1.5 and 1.8 ohm coils, and I'll be shooting for the same with the Kayfun Lite. Also, MNKE 26650 IMR batteries on an Efest LUC charger.

Why not just go with the E-Huge then:

Joking aside, if regulation is THAT important I dont think this is a bad idea.

I was looking at the Kick module more as a safety feature - bonus if it were to slot straight into the Mutant. I use an MVP 2.0 at the moment and it only moves from 3.7v when I want to dial down the harshness in the morning. So VV/VW is an afterthought. I'm really asking whether I've bought a Mutant or a pipebomb.

Looks-wise, the E-Huge does nothing for me - it looks like the the result of Darth Vader outsourcing production of the Empire's Light Sabers to a chinese factory.

 

[MrPlink]

Assuming you dont abuse your mod or battery there is no reason you wont be perfectly fine, esp if all you are running is a Kayfun.

Perfect, thanks MrPlink! Will report back when it arrives - it shall be the Fatman to my current Little Boy EVOD setup.

1. With an aero tank you won't need a kick.
The coils have resistance high enough to be safe.

2. If you feel the need for added protection, a 26650 mechanical wouldn't be my suggested device.

Decide what type of vape you want first.
If you use aero tanks and pre built cool heads you should IMHO look for devices that are designed for tanks like those.
Mechanicals can fire anything but they aren't fling to give you an optimal experience on a 26650 mechanical mod.

If you are set on 26xxx devices, the E Huge is an option.
I'd personally opt for a Hanna 30 clone.
