Maybe for you goober but for many they want something they can repair when something breaks and keep using forever. Not everyone just wants sub ohm. Now they can do regulated if they want, with a small now essential disposable drop in device. And if the zombie apocalypse ever happens, maybe you can't buy any more drop in electronics pieces when yours break, but you can always still use your elegant beautifully cobstructed mech mod. But you may be more concerned about whether your $300 lead pipe might be useful as a bludgeon against the horde ;)

Very late to the party :D

Bad hit the hammer on the nail regarding protection also having a Mod that looks sweet and vapes constant from start to finish is a bonus, i'm using UDT-v9 with AGI v1 w/ Kick 2 and love the look v's the Vamo, THE UDT-v9 has class with hidden functionality :)

Sometimes it's good to wake the dead :banana:

    Not really sure I understand the concept of a kick

    unless I am misinformed (I very well could be) but I've read posts that with the kick
    I can not use ohms under what my regulated mods accept

    If that's the case then why wouldn't I just use my regulated mods

    or am I missing something?

    Many folks had really good mechanical PV's before regulated PV's ever hit the market, and didn't want to just toss them. The Kick gave them the means to turn their old mechanicals into regulated PV's.








    then the sub ohm craze came along and changed everything, and mechanicals became the latest & greatest

    Ditto! I had a perfectly good Bolt that sat unused after I went to a VV/VW Mod. The Kick brought it out of the drawer.

    Old thread but I recently got one of these but it's actually pretty terrible. Lots of sanding and it puts out 3.3v max as read with my handy dandy volt meter... Just glad I only spent $9. The voltage drop of my mech over the course of a kayfun tank is much better lol.

    A regular volt meter won't measure the kick voltage because it's a PWM device and I believe the smoktech version is the 33.3HZ chip.

    That being said mine works so well in my Nemi I thought I would get "The Force" kick adapter which comes with a smoktech kick inside so I can use it on my magneto in 18650 mode.

    When I tried the Kick in my magneto in 18350 mode it didn't work too well. I don't think it made as good a ground connection as it does on the Nemesis which works great in both 18350 and 18650 modes.

    My SmokTech kick quit after 2 days lol...ordering the real thing from Evolv methinks

    One thing to keep in mind is that the Evolve Kick 2 does not have reverse battery protection. The Segelei 15w Kick does have rbp and Is a quarter of the price. I use four Segelei 15w Kicks and love them. But the lifespan isn't too good. I get through one a month!!
