I would imagine not, if you run a 1.5 ohm atty (two 3 ohm coils in parallel) at 5 volts that would be 8.3 watts across each coil making a total of 16.6 watts methinks. If it works anything like the darwin, it would end up putting the voltage around 3.5 for a 1.5ohm dual coil.

The Kick sets the wattage - but the experience would be different with a dual coil atty at 8.3 watts from a single coil atty at 8.3 watts - you'll get the same heat input (more or less) but spread over a larger area. For me, that increases flavour and vapour - but I have to be honest and admit to running Dual Coils at higher wattage than I do singles, and then it's a markedly different experience. In my mind, subjectively, it's better. YMMV, naturally!

Ok. Get ready for another dummy question. If I'm understanding this correctly, the Kick can be put into just about any mod that it will fit in and regulate the wattage to the atty/carto? Or is it only for Precise(s)?

It will drop into anything that takes an 18650, pretty much, but the 18650 may need to be substituted with an 18490/18500 if the body does not telescope or have an extender tube available.

I'm already thinking of ways to rig it in a wood mod. :)

Shouldn't be all that hard. Just run a wire from the negative spring on the kick to the negative battery connection if the button is on the posative or run a wire from the negative spring on the kick to the wire going from the button to the atty connector if the button is on the negative.

Agreed, I've been liking the new smok tek dual coil tanks on my darwin (even though I cant close it, small tradeoff for not having to top off every two pulls). Got a couple 3.0ohm replacement tank cartos (2x 6ohm coils :ohmy: ) and the flavor/vapor at around 9-9.5 watts is stupendous. Very rich compared to the 1.5 ohm dcc's. When it comes to having variable wattage - the more surface area on the coil the better. Atty lasts longer, battery life is better imho.
