Heading to bed, answer in the morning. Something like coming attractions.

A battery produces around 4 volts. A kick can take that 4 volts and step it up to 5 or 6 volts. However, what if you want to step the voltage down to 3 volts? Some circuits can only step up, some can only step down, and some can do both. You'll also see this referred to as "boost" for step up, and "buck" for step down. A boost-buck circuit does either one.
Whether fused or otherwise, it turns it into a VW regulated device, so will prevent a battery discharge through a shorted topper.
Try this one: https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005318/1426300-ea-mechanical-mod if you're ok with the bottom side switch. It, like many telescopes, can fit a Kick.
According to the Busardo China trip interview, they are real busy up until the holiday, then a week off. Then many people quit, preferring to stay in their villages, then they have to train new people after. Just wondering whether I ought to order soon, or wait until late Feb.
That is a good suggestion, David. Safe option, but not a comprehensive track record. But I don't think any of the telescoping mods have much discussion. I like the clean lines. My left pinky finger needs more exercise. The letter A just isn't enough.

I also have a few mechs in my vapocolipse box. My nemisis clone has a sigelei clone kick from FT. I might pick up a few more kicks if things look scary. Some company had them on clearance for New Years but didn't buy any. Not panicking yet. Right now enjoying the excitement of the new itty bitty regulated mods hitting the market.
For removing batteries from the charger (Nitecore I2 and I4) I also tend to press the battery back toward the spring, lift the front and slowly (well, I don't whip them out) pull the battery forward and out gently releasing the spring. No damage so far (knock on formica)

That one's a clone of the "original" Electric Angel, hence EA. I have the EHPro version. Pinky is a good way to fire it
Although the action on mine is pretty light, so I don't know how much exercise you'll get... aAaAaA will exercise both pinkies 
what is the downside to these "KICK" devices? something inline reducing power, smaller battery, making mechs seem noob friendly? cause I gotta say that was my 1st thought.
I've pretty much decided I want a magnetic switch on a brass or copper mod. I like the way they gain a patina. I have a 1920's brass twin sized bed that I love the patina on. I cleaned it all off when I first got it & let it go back. Just like the look.
G'nite all!

Well I did it. I had some problems at first cause I was getting really high resistance reading on my meter like .57. Then I figured out with this pin in the Lemo I have to really tighten it down them it came out right at .2 Here it is
This is 50/50 juice at 410 degrees 20w.

I have a good half a dozen mechs of one sort or another. My workhorses really are my REOs though so I am focusing on picking up spare parts for them since on a good hands day I can completely rebuild the thing myself.
Bad hands days I use and ego with a lightweight clearo. It is a letdown but better than not vaping.
WIth the charger. Many days my fingers cannot take the pressure of holding that slider back while lifting hte battery. Just too painful.

You pretty much got it SHOCK COLLAR
. These devices max out at between about 8-14 watts depending on which one you buy and you have to go down one batter size to make room for it. So, if you're using a 18650, you go to a 18500. But for anyone who wants to make a mech mod a bit safer and who vapes in this power range, they're not bad.
I haven't seen the China video. It's not up on his youtube channel. Where did you see it?

I use my kick in a telescoping mech with an 18650. Cheap mech. Can't even remember which one.

Sort of know what you mean, when I was building this wick the first one I screwd up cause my hands were shaking so bad. Had to take a xanax and wait for it to take effect to build it right.
You're lucky you have the extra 16'ish mm needed. None of my admittedly limited number of tube mods have the space for that to work.
Downside? Horrible vape - at least the cheap ones are as it's low end PWM regulation. Turns a lovely Reo into the vape quality of an... iStick. I tried a Smok Kick clone once - for about 5 minutes. Took it out - set it aside. Not only was it "rattlesnake-y" harsh it was extremely loud going about it. SHSHSHSHSHSH!!!
As far as making something more noob friendly - safer - you do have a point there insofar as they should shut down if they detect a short.

I would buy one in a heartbeat if they came in 50W sizes, and I'd probably still get one if they came in 30W. But, 15W is just not enough for my vaping style.
