Trying to read thru posts, haven't used the Kick before, I know about the protection but does it just cut off when the battery needs recharging/replacing or do you just have to monitor and determine this yourself by lack of vapor production?
Thanks for the help

As snork said, it "pulses" the power once it feels the battery reaching the end.
As for the voltage level of that "end", I have put the batteries in my VV to check and
they all come out at around 3.2-3.3v when the kick just doesn't want to fire anymore.

My batteries consistently meter between 3.55-3.6V unloaded when the Kick shuts off which more or less to be expected. What voltage readings are you getting?
My readings are more inconsistent, with a range of 3.5-3.8. The 3.7s and 3.8s are what bother me.
It's probable that what I do or how I do it is responsible.
You could very well be right. I have a very disorganized pile of batteries of various ages, usages, god knows what. Maybe sometime soon I'll get the time to weed out possible duds.
FWIW - my IMR batts are all new as of Kick(s). Mostly they all seem to cut-off at 3.6 unloaded (both 18490 and 18650). I can tell you that there are MANY variables that will impact that cut-off. Kick is designed to cut-off at 3.2 volts under load (as read thru the kick). That reading can be impacted by the conductive efficiency of the device(s) - they all vary, the resistance and watts setting (amps rate), the age of the batts, number of charge cycles, how far they are run down between charges, the chargers, etc. I am not sure but I think even leaving batts in a car (with now warmer temps) can impact its charge cycles. The point here is merely this - one cannot really compare to anyone else. I just got my extension sleeve to let me use the 18650 in SB and I seem to be vaping about 4 to 5 mls on an AW IMR 18650 using 2.8Ωs at about 8.5 watts. But, like car manufacturers are fond of disclaiming - your actual milage may vary.
Hope this is somehow helpful.

It is and thanks everyone for the info. I am debating trying it out since I just use a Vari but thought about getting an P+ 18650 and a Kick but still up in the air.
Thanks again.
I finally was able to get some use out of my kick today and I am pretty happy for that at least because this beautiful P+ should never be collecting dust. I am using a 2.5 ohm atty and have it set around 8 watts. When I went to the bar today I only was able to get a few hours of enjoyable vaping out of it until it started flickering on me 
I finally got around to using a multimeter and checked the battery when I got home and again just now and it is reading 3.91 which seems a bit high to be cutting out on me Luckily I have another battery that is fully charged and I will report back when I run that one down to the same point and see what it reads. These are both new batteries in case anyone is wondering. I am just happy that I got it working for the moment

Hi everyone.
I just recieved my kick on thursday and it's already brocken I think.
I proved it with my Multimeter and I get 3.4V at 9 Watts with a fully charged AW IMR 18650 2000mAh on my Atty with 2.8 Ohms.
I cleaned the contacts in my GGTS, on the battery and on the kick. Noch change. :/

I have had the same problem!! Contact evolvaper.com and Brandon will take care of you right away!!!
I just contact the reseller.
What was the problem with your kick?
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your Kick. All warranty is handled through the manufacturer and they can be contacted via email here: cs@evolvapor.com
I must send it to my reseller (cloud9vaping.co.uk). I don't hope that it take weeks to get it back.

I'm sorry, i didn't put two and two together that you had purchased yours from another vendor outside the USA, in which case you are right, there is different return procedures depending on which vendor you bought it from.
