Im pretty sure its 18650 compatible check the specs or description on fast tech. If you wnna use a kick you need to drop down a size. For instance an 18650 would be equal to an 18500+kick an 18500 would be equal to an 18350+kick. The numbers that the battery describes is its size 18mm wide by 65mm long and the zero on the end I think means 0 cell. The kick height is 15mm high. I just bought an 18650+kick sleeve for my segelei 19e so now I get a big battery plus a kick. Awsome!!!!

It could have thread on the inside that would prevent the ground post on the kick from being positioned properly. I can't use my kick in all my mechs. The top half of the mod shouldn't have inner threading it needs to be on the outter portion to allow the kick to be positioned properly.I have one sitting in hong kong right now s o I can't give you a for sure answer or not. Good luck. Not sure what you're budget is but the segelelei 19e takes it no problem snd kidney puncher has an extended sleeve if you wanna kick an 18650.

The M16 clone will work with a kick, but only in 18350 mode.
Longer batteries will not allow the centre tube to sit at the top of the mod. Because the end tubes are too large in diameter to let the kick ground pin connect it will not work.
May work if you pack the kick to one side of the tube with some cardboard or other insulating material like a sheet of silicone, but I haven't tried this yet.

That is correct sir. If you want to use with larger batteries you can use Bolt extension tubes. Threading matches perfect. Use 1 for 18500 and 2 for 18650 mode. I've tried the wedge method but it's hit or miss in my experience. Enjoy the day!
