Good question, I don't see why not and since the battery is inserted neg side up, it would be easy to adjust the kick from the bottom. I will be watching to see if a vet comments on your question gruss.

I have my settings on 40 posts per page, so I saw the question twice when the page loaded. Sometimes the thread moves fast enough that posts can be easy to miss
He is not back from vacation yet--speculation is that he may not even be aware of the UKV situation. The list has been saved, though, and I'm sure the news will spread quickly once he's re-established an official sales thread...
I really really do wish the V2.1 was kick-able. That would be the greatest thing of all time!
The kick will not work in GG devices with the "fuse upgrade" because there is a redundancy in operation that causes conflicts. From what I understand there is a similar problem with Pailpoe's switch because there is some power regulation going on as well as some sort of protection built in. Keep in mind that I don't know exactly what goes on with the switch and am just repeating what I've read elsewhere, but it's my understanding that the power regulation in Pailpoe's switch is incompatible with the power regulation in the Kick, and that whatever protection is built in to the switch seems to trigger the protection in the Kick. Or vice-versa.
In the end it doesn't really matter, though--it's been tried and it doesn't work :shrug:
On the other hand, Pailpoe is working on a drop-in replacement switch that will give either variable voltage or variable wattage (your choice, the switch does both) that he is expecting to sell for around 20 euro.
"My new board for test the orion module (with the same components).
Specifications :
- Constant power regulation (PWM )with current/voltage feedback , 90-95% efficiency
- Supply by 2 AW IMR 18350
- Rato min = 1,5 Ohm , Imax = 6A
Pmax = 44Watts for 2 ohms atomizer @8v :ugeek:
- Lock (3 clicks)
- Bi color led for Visual feedback"
"Yes, I prefer this design. Easy to mount, no power limitation, low price,...
Limtations :
Ratomizer between 1 Ohms to 10 Ohms
Current between 0 to 8A
Voltage between 0v to (battery voltage).
Fully protected :
- Short cut
- Open circuit
- Low voltage"
"The module is the same size as the current and compatible with the Orion V2. It requires just a small 1mm hole for the passage of the optical fiber that can bring light to the two-color LED. ...etting ... is done with the switch.
By cons, all the power management is the same as on minibox:
- VW or VV, 1 or 2 batteries,
- No limit on power
- Continuous monitoring of the heating resistor, battery voltage, DC
- Power adjustable with the switch and two-color LED for walking in the menu."
Last update was in April, but he has been extremely busy keeping up with the demand for current switches. Videos of his prototypes are available on Youtube

couple quick questions....
it can use an 18650 with an extension, so can it use 2 RCR 123a batteries?
to change ohms on the rebuildable atomizer, do you just buy higher/lower ohm wire to wrap around the wick?

Short answer - sorta. I prefer to use 30 or 32g kanthal, as it is more durable. Then as far as controlling the Ω, increase or decrease the number of wraps you make around your coil. This increases or decreases the length of the kanthal, and in turn varies the resistance.
Walking out to mailbox to pick up, not only my first Orion v2.1, but my first Genesis atomizer ever!!!! Gawd I am excited!!!!
Yes, that is correct. PLease be patient when building. It takes time. Do you have your own mesh and kanthal?
Let me rephrase that: It takes time to get the hang of it. I can re-wrap a coil in a minute. But making your first wick and coil takes some patience to get it right for your vape preferences...
I am good with my hands. Im an engineering student and do a lot of small model building. I am not forseeing any problems, but am prepared to troubleshoot. Will check back when I get my coil wrapped and let ya'll know!
Then you are a youngster and shouldn't have any issues. Have fun and enjoy your new toy. I love my Orion(s)!!!
If you do have trouble try the cig paper cheat; it's all but fail proof
I use to not use it back when I first had a Genisis, but it sure does cut down on coil nudging. Haven't had to nudge since using it!
3rd time was the charm. First 2 poped the very top coil in between the wick and +nut assembly. Now i've got it going. Working on breaking it in.
On a side note... Heavens Nectar is AMAZING!!!

Yeah, the washers stick out a good ways and can touch the coil if not careful. Glad to hear you got her going.
Before doing that stick a paperclip or something in there to make sure no burrs are there. If that's not to your liking, before drilling, try this first:
