I have the Darwin which I will be carrying with me as well tonight just in case
HERE YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!
That's the issue (battery life) that owners/potential owners want to overlook....battery life couldn't amount to much so I suppose the solution would be to carry a bunch of batteries or buy the Darwin for exceptional battery life. I'd buy the Darwin. Hope your results improve though.
That's it! Get a Darwin as a back up for the Kicked mod! LOL!
Good Lord Tossed this thing in my P+ 18650 with a fully charged brand new 18500 battery and it drained the batter in just a few hours of use and it wasn't even chain vaping It might have been something else but I will try out this second freshly charged one that I have and see what happens... Using a 3.5 ohm 510 atty and it's set around 9-10 watts. It's not hitting nearly as hard as my Darwin even when it is set on 10 watts and I have the Darwin at 9.5

Use a 1.3 to 3 ohm atty with the Kick.The instructions say attys higher than 3 ohms will not be regulated well at higher power levels so your probably not getting close to 10 watts with that 3.5 ohm atty.
Thanks tearose, I really want a 18500 device, so I can use 18350 batteries. Hmm, I think there is an xhaler that takes 18500? Do the buttons lock on those? I need something pocket-able.
I agree that the atty resistance could be some of the cause of your battery drain. You have to figure that the higher resistance= more the kick has to boost to attain the watts you have it set at.Good Lord Tossed this thing in my P+ 18650 with a fully charged brand new 18500 battery and it drained the batter in just a few hours of use and it wasn't even chain vaping It might have been something else but I will try out this second freshly charged one that I have and see what happens...

What about the Bolt, RB? I don't have one so I don't know about the locking issue.

Did you happen to check the voltage of your "drained" battery, tho?
I'm using 1.5ohm or 3ohm cartos at the end of my 1st day of use with the kick. My kick is giving me the protection signal after between 2.5 and 5hrs of run-time. Of the 3 times that I've swapped batteries, only 2 times I was able to check remaining voltage of the battery. Both were above 3.7v!
I believe the kick is supposed to signal before 3.2v. I have a message in to Nhaler, but remembered your post from yesterday and wanted to know if this is an issue we all need to be aware of. Please let us know if your battery was completely drained or only half-drained before the protection signal.
Others, would you post end voltage of your removed battery when you get the protection signal, please?
