I am having a problem trying to use the kick. It's not the Ihybrid's switch cause it works fine with just my 18350 battery but I don't have any 18650 batteries. Can you use the 18490 aw batteries I got with my provari from provape or do I need the nipple-less batteries?

The kick is working. sometimes it will fire if I take it all apart and put it back together. I think the kick is (how to say it) cocking sideways on the nipple and not making good contact. :mad:

I put the kick in my iHy Standard and not firing, I put the kick in my iHy Dragon and it fires every time, 18490 18500 provape imr ??

A quick question for Face when he returns... it looks like the Spider LE had no anodizing inside the threads or the tubes, but my blue Dragon is fully anodized inside and out. The tubes are sanded on both ends to allow the edges to make contact with the switch and atty. Is there a noticeable difference in conductivity between the Spider and the Dragons?

Does the anodizing on the Dragons affect the use of a kick?

The only hybrid I have had to compare it to is a Zen mini, and it is leaps and bounds better when it comes to conductivity than the Zen was.

I have not metered the iHy yet.

I guess that's why he is "Faceless Genius"

I am not Face, but I can tell you what Face found out a while back. His first anodized tubes the place had anodized the threads as well, so they where not making proper contact to fire, He found about a month or so ago now if the edges where bare they would work as they should.

If you notice on the ends of the tubes that there is no anodizing... :)

I haven't had an ihy that doesn't pass full current, including the dragons, meaning about .2 loss at the atomizer under load on AW IMR. This is completely predictable loss due to low ohm coils. Less with some other batteries I have like MNKE's which barely fade under load. I can't remember the exact number.

Anodizing is irrelevant for the kick as part of the design is the "kick port" on the atomizer itself. If you pull the atomizer off the tube and take a look, the part the kick sits in stainless and so long as the threads of that are making good contact with the threads of the tube you will have no issues. Or with the dragons as long as the tops of the tubes are contacting the stainless steel ring you are also good. You don't have to remove any anodizing for the kick.

You're right, the atty section is recessed- totally forgot about that. Thanks!

Also, I've come to really like using the magnets in place of the bottom spring in the "new" switch. It feels just slightly more solid, and doesn't take up more room than the spring did. I think I've got 5 magnets in there- 3 towards the switch, 2 towards the body.

I find that I have to wiggle the kick into the bottom of the atomizer to seat it properly. Otherwise it's in there cocked and doesn't properly make contact. It's all about the grounding spring. I'm using 18490 AW nipple batteries.
