The Kick is a control module, most are VW although there are some VV versions out there.

They go on mechs to provide functionality similar to any regulated mod, although no screen and you have to open the mech up to access the screw driver adjust.

Many of us who prefer a regulated vape have a few mechs in the vapocalypse box, for when all the electronic ones have died. By putting a kick on a mech, we still have our regulated vape. And when the Kick eventually also goes south, still have the mech.

But many mechs don't have room inside, so something like the kick can lets you put it on top, outside the tubes. (Many telescoping mechs will accept a kick. Some, and most of the non-telescoping ones need something like the can, or extension tubes.)

They're easy action. The end with the tiny little potentiometer - where you put a tiny screwdriver to adjust the output - goes up. :)

I only took the ones suggested by ECF.
Same here and those are the ones I think have hurt us. Not ECF's fault at all. we all thought we were doing something good for us. We just didn't see just how devious the fda could be. Of course I could be way off base in thinking this way but then again, maybe not :(

Same here, but data harvesting is big business...

You know it is kind of funny, profit from the data harvesting has never been proven to bring a big pay day, but it still is done and brings in a big pay day for the harvesters...

Unless it of course can be used to personally identify you that is - then big paydays...

I will never not vote. That is nothing less than surrender. I will vote, even if it's just for the lesser of 2 bad choices.
I think after reading that I will vote for but for a Party that I don't even belong; since the two major party candidates are not reasonable for our country IMHO. That will be a silent protest all in itself

i bought 2 of these,, 1 is for the kangertech sbm tank & atty that lives in the car,, and the other one is for any other atty i may want to take with me for day of shopping/hiking whatever. (i also put a bit of rayon inside for wicking and cushioning)

Nice 'catch'! Those would be great for higher altitude traveling also.

Great explanation, Dave!

i like to go to 'carnivals/state fairs' etc,, my griffin clone is my adv,, but i like to take my sxk corolla when i will be away from the car for awhile........major fear i will break my atty,, with this can/pill holder i can at least be consoled with another atty instantly.

you mentioned high alt.. i may need to consider that on my road trip to Myrtle Beach.. I have never seen from the ground the lower east side of America,,,,but i suspect the mountains are higher than my Houston coastal area......now i will make sure to take this thing with me lol,, both of them since i occasionally leave juice in my atty's---i dont want leaky juicy clothes/car........after all just this morning i still a bottle of mint on the couch.......i havent vaped mint in months.. and i guess i didn't put the lid on right either...........seriously,, the govt lets me run around without a parent! :)

I put my spare tanks in an old rx bottle & set in my purse or whatever. Leaks don't matter. I can take the dt off & drop it in the bottle to make it fit better if need to.

Ok, since I'm not really a provari fan, how did I end up with 5?
Looked at the glower and my step daughter was here (convert to da vape!) and said that's cool. So ordered her one and got one for moi. Now, you hit this with a flashlight at night it glows like itz radioactive! Reeeely brite.
As far as the P3 sale from DFW... well, couldn't resist that either. Only had da polish wun but since I'm 1/4 polish I figgered it'd be ok. Now thatz shiny and 1/2!

I don't think you'll have altitude issues going through the Appalachian / Smokey Mountains. They're no where near the height of the western mountains. More like big hills in comparison.

Speaking of altitude. I tried a new trick I got somewhere here on ECF for our flight to CO.

The suggestion was to put your mods w/ atty's attached upside down in the pocket of the seat in front of you during take off and climb to cruising altitude. On decent / landing this is not needed. Something to do w/ pressure changes climbing and descending being different was talked about but I don't remember the techie part of it.

Anyway I turned them upside down on take off. Worked well for 2 Kayfun V4s (I didn't close the juice control left it open) and 1 Kayfun lite.

But on landing the KFV4s didn't leak but I lost 1/2 tank of the filled Kayfun lite. And, whoops, that's the one I had in my shirt pocket. Note, juice/nic stains came out fine from a white micro-fiber shirt. Just rinsed in the sink when we got to Katies.
