hey guys how do you figure out wattage? Like your saying people want the KICK to be able to go to 12 Watts. well what is that 5 volts 6volts . this way i know what to do when the time comes. right now i have the PP18500 PP18650 in the Super T line up. Have many other Tube mods but these are the ones i will use them in. but who knows. Thanks for any help.

W=V²/Ω. So at 4.2 volts and 1.5 ohm atomizers you'd have 17.64/1.5=11.74 watts.

I use this calculator. If you know volts and ohms, you can calculate watts and amps.

cos, Where do I begin? First and foremost... Forget all you ever thought you knew about VOLTS! Forget it... Push it out of your mind... Lose the word from you vocabulary. Volts has become an alien concept that no longer matters one whit. Watch the swinging watch... You are getting veeeerrrry sleeeepy. There is no such thing as volts. Volts never mattered. Volts is the name of some cartoon character.

The Kick allows the user to select WATTS. Watts is a unit of measure of... Hmmm... Energy, Heat, or my favorite... British Thermal Units or BTU. For watt it's worth, 1 horsepower is around 750 watts but that's for another session. We can talk about that right after we figure out how many furlongs in a fortnight.

For vaping though, lets think about it as the rate or speed at which a given atomizer can produce vapor. Or... How much vapor is that little guy gonna produce per puff. Ok? Got it? Hey! Close your eyes and listen. You're supposed to be hypnotized right now. Good.

Now. Suppose your atomizer just burned out or maybe you just want to switch to another atomizer and a different juice. My friend, your life just got a lot easier. Just grab any old atty in your kit and put it on, (you don't CARE what resistance it is) squeeze a few drops of your favorite joy juice in there and vape away. Guess watt? Errr. I mean guess what? This new attomizer is gonna produce almost exactly the same vape without you having to adjust anything. You don't care what the atty ohms are or even where that forgotten v... word is set at any more. You already adjusted your little kick for the level of vapor you like on the previous atomizer and the Kick automatically (like over 50 times per second) calculates the variables (I like big words.) and automagically varies that darned V word constantly to keep that little atty boiling the juice at exactly the rate that *you* like. Know.watt.I.mean? Good

I just snapped my finger. You can wake up now. Awww, just forget those feathers. I didn't do anything funny to you while you were asleep. Trust me.

Make sure your afternoon is free, after those batteries are charged and you start vaping that P+18350, you won't be able to put it down!

had to stop in and say hello :) All of my precises have been featured on my show the last few wednesday nights. I'm adoring my P+ 18350, the boyfriend loves his P+ 18650, & well, the husband doesn't vape.

I still have all of my original precise collection neatly kept in its Pelican case (except when I'm needing the P18 fix).....debating on sending them all in to get them buffed & shined (but they don't really need it because they already look gorgeous).

Still living for the day that I can upgrade all of my connections to the new connection.

Precise for life baby.......It's precisely the best tube mod available!

almost have my "squeeze" down....still a little learning curve but what a combo!!!

Most reliable feed system to date and the most reliable device to date for me. Been using that set up minus the plus improvements for over a year now. I like having the VM to hang my device on my pocket for easy access. A quick draw so to speak. On carpenter pants it fits perfectly in that side pocket.

Yep Super Nice. The only thing I hate is when a great mod comes out you can't get your hands on it.. Ramp up production. Its not like theres not a demand..Of course in my case maybe it does. I ended up buying something else. Could have bought the precise plus 18650 from the UK, but just didn't want to take the shipping risk

I'm sure Super-T loses some sales as a result of availability constraints, but on the other hand, would there be so much demand, without the quality resulting from close-tolerance machining, hands-on finishing/QC etc. all of which, take time? Exceptionally high quality products are worth waiting for, especially if you already have something else which serves a similar purpose. JMHO.

I remember seeing this pic and it appears that I recently killed my LR Cisco Atty by over tightening in less than a week. So now I'm paranoid about killing another. How tight should the atty be put on? I think I'm keeping it too loose now as juice is leaking out of the bottom for fear of frying it by keeping it loose. If anyone has any suggestions or a video on how much to screw the atty on it would be appreciated.

Yes the best way to deal with a short is to start unscrewing parts to break connection somehow. Grab your shirt or something to insulate you from the heat. I've had the insulation from my battery become damaged once and heat up the unit. Thank goodness it was a protected battery and it just cut out.

Shorting your atomizer will cause the battery to drain very quickly and if you are not using protected batteries such is the case with the IMR you could be in for a real surprise if you don't stop the chain reaction. While the IMR is safer chemistry it will still vent, just not with flames.

Over tightening atomizers has always been an issue on devices with fixed center poles and with all mods in general. Most of the newer style atomizers are built with a harder material for the grommet but it is still possible to push the center pole in far enough to make contact with the negative side of the circuit.

I've posted this pic before but it is a good reminder of what not to do. And if you notice something like this take note of how tight you are screwing down that atty. It should only make contact, nothing more. It shouldn't bottom out in the connector of the mod.

The four in the back row are all damaged and causing shorts.
