OK. Well, with that said, I have a couple 18500s and materials for a neg extension on-hand to use it as intended (in-line). I'd hate to melt my bottle! 8O
The Kick by Evolv--Coming to Super-T!

The primary heat sink on the Kick is the machined brass bottom of the Kick unit.
It's going to look like a DOS attack when these go up. I hope their website can handle the traffic 
The latest update from Brandon is they hope to have them shipped out by the end of the week or early next week.
So that means by the end of next week they could potentially be up for sale on the site?
Crusing around the web I ran across JR Custom Turnings. They make the 7mm and .308 cal mod. Now they offer a 50 cal mod with a kicked powerd version 50 Cal (kicked version) already for sale and 14 in stock the last time I looked. I sent an email to make sure the kicked device comes with the unit. Still awaiting a responce. Are there kicks out there to be had already or am I just misinformed
JR Custom Turnings is not officially open for business.

The site is up, but he's not accepting orders just yet.

If that is so then why was I able to create an account, add it to my cart, select shipping method and get to the credit card info page to pay. If they are not taking orders yet they sure do hide it well...

Huh that's odd - I never actually tried going through the payment options, you should post that in the thread

They may be taking orders but, I'd bet almost anything that they don't have the Kicks yet. I have it from a very reliable source that all the Kicks from this first production run are all going to be shipped out on the same day to all the vendors.
Since the Kick is in final production, it woould be nice to the community if were were told what the wattage range is going to be other than having us speculate.
This will be the end of all worries for users that have rebuildable atties in a tube mod.
the 5-10W range is perfect for me, i'm a 7-8W kind of guy.

I am testing the Kick for Evolv and have had all the various versions of the prototypes. The Kick does an amazing job of duplicating the Darwin vaping experience. It is essentially the same Power Regulation design and delivers the same consistency of vaping hits. It detects the resistance and automatically adjusts the volts and amps to deliver the user set watts level. Without the screen, settings are not as precision exact (Darwin sets in 0.1 watts increments) but it is amazingly accurate. Using an under-load meter (with atty/carto attached) allows users to see the under-load voltage automatically change as they swap out various resistance attys/cartos. Kick also has all the operational features of Darwin with low batt cut-off and short circuit detection/activation prevention. That short circuit protection is sensitive and may prevent activation on an atty/carto that may still fire on an unregulated device but that sensitivity is needed to protect the circuitry on the kick (same as Darwin).
The watts range is 5-10. However, many Darwin users find they adjust their vaping watts down a bit due to the accuracy and consistency of the Power Regulation. On Darwin, that adjustment is super easy (just a turn of the wheel). It is equally as easy on the Kick but requires opening the device to access the adjustment. On top-loading devices, this is as simple as removing the top-cap and then making the adjustment (can just leave the kick sitting right where it is in the device) and replacing the to-cap. Some will complain about "using a screwdriver..." but the Variable Voltage users are frequently having to make adjustments. As atty/cartos age, the resistance drops and Kicks/Darwins automatically detect the change and adjust accordingly. With Kick, once you find your sweet-spot, it is pretty much set it and forget it.
IMR batteries are required. IMRs are safer chemistry and IMRs have more than enough amps to handle the Amps demands of boost and LR combined. Due to its built in safety features, Kick offers additional protection as well.
Devices vary in conductivity. Some are lossier than others. The production version of the Kick is even more efficient than the prototypes were and may well help compensate for the more lossier devices.
Brandon has stated that the 10 watt max is there due to a variety of manufacturing decisions. They could make it higher but the smaller components of the Kick, and the dynamics of prism (cylindrical) style batts, left them feeling it was best all around to cap it at 10.

It would be great if we could get a list of known mods that are "plug and play" with the Kick out of the box. And if modifications are needed for other mods it would be nice to know what that would entail.

Nice little review Nebs, Love my Darwins and it's going to be nice to be able to put these kicks in are Precise units now and have and even better consistent vaping experience out of them. I'm pretty sure the 10W Max is because of the Batts we use and the 10w is pushing near the limits they will take, so Brandon doesn't want to push that envelope to close to the edge bu going above the 10W power max on the Kicks. Looking forward to getting my pair of these final products units soon. The price point was supposed to be around $40-$45 has it stayed there ? I know Brandon was very persistent in his interviews he did saying he wanted to keep this price point ?
Also very much looking forward to Brandon's Modders kit to come out too ! Neb's did you hear anything more on this ?
