The Kick by Evolv--Coming to Super-T!

[forcedfuel50]

Time to design a P+ that accepts an AW IMR 18650 with The Kick. Cuz I have lots of those.

I've tossed that idea around, just debating whether i want a longer mod :-0

 

[arbogast]

I've been ecstatic since I ordered a Precise + 18650 a cpl of days ago (its being handled by norwegian customs atm). I'm sure I'll love it by itself
And now this!

Experiencing this kind of excitement is quite rare as an adult.

Yes, Evolv wants to keep specific feedback between the tester and Evolv to make sure they get unbiased, useable feedback. I can tell you that LadyMama did get to test drive the Kick over Thanksgiving in the PrecisePlus 18500 and with a AW IMR 18350 battery and was able to get approximately 4 hours out of it with it at about 90% turned up.


As far as fit on the PrecisePlus line:

PrecisePlus 18650 with AW IMR 18490: One Thick (.100) Oring in the bottom of the battery chamber
PrecisePlus 18500 with AW IMR 18350: One Thin (.070) Oring in the bottom of your battery chamber and one #12 Oring on the top cap.

Evidently the difference between a P18500 battery and a IMR 18350 battery is not exactly 15mm and necessitates an Oring around the top cap to fill the gap. (no worries, it still ends up looking like factory stock) I'll include one with each Kick in case you intend to use your Kick in your P+ 18500.

That is indeed great news, David! I'm thrilled to know that it's official regarding the Kick working with 18350 IMR batts. And 4 hrs is a decent amount of time... Is your mom a heavy vapor? Just curious if you know how many mls per day she vapes in order to have a more realistic idea of what that time frame represents... Also, I'd like to know which resistance atty/carto was she using since that's relevant to amp draw and battery longevity.

Thanks.

Hey SuperT's as I have still no freaking idea what the kick actually is even though people tried to explain it to me I was wondering does the kick work only in the P+18650 or also in the P+18500?

Yes it works in either with the P+18650 you would need to use an 18500 battery with the P+18500 you would use an 18350 battery

 

[want to quit]

sick so I can buy a P+ now and than the kick later on? Also how much would this magic kick cost?

 

[Wharf Rat]

Well, probably closer to $40

 

[want to quit]

thanks $40 is quite inexpensive if it is as good as people say.

So as I still don't understand AT ALL what this Kick is besides that it regulates the wattage? is there any real good article or video about it on how exactly it works?

I believe Basil Ray did a video review. Search him out on youtube.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Check out the Darwin thread and it should explain all.

Not finding it.

 

[fright88]

Not finding it.

I PM'd him last week about it and he said he hadn't uploaded the video yet. If you find it please post it.

I even owned a Darwin and have still no idea what the wattage was for I know it's so stupid but I just have no idea.

Here is my simple explination. Right now I am vaping a mod at 6v ith a 3 ohm carto. using this calculator
Ohm's Law Calculator
I find that I am vaping at 12 watts.
Now what Variable Wattage does is you set the watt you want to vape at and it automatically adjusts the voltage to give me the watts I wanted. So lets say I have it set at 12 watts (something the beta units can't do but I am hoping) and I put on a 1.5 ohm atty or carto the kick should adjust the voltage to 4.24264 which is the voltage needed to get 12 watts out of a 1.5 ohm carto per the calculator. If I then put on a 3.5 ohm carto it would adjust the voltage to 6.48074volts.

Now the big difference between VW and VV is lets say on my VV PV I normally vape at 6v with 3 ohm cartos but I decide I want to try a new 1.5 ohm atty that I just got in the mail. If I throw that 1.5 ohm atty on my VVPV and don't adjust the voltage I am likely to blow the atty and am not likely to like the vape even if it doesn't blow because I normally like 12 watts (3ohm at 6v) and 1.5 ohm at 6v is 24 watts. However if I did the same thing on my Kicked mod or a Darwin I wouldn't have to fiddle with anything because the electronics know I want 12 watts and will automatically adjust to my desired vape.

Hope this helped a little

Think of wattage as heat more heat = more vapor up to a point. Now any given wattage regardless of what ohm delivery method should theoretically give you the same amount of vapor.

Holy smokes that was one hack of a fantastic explanation on what it really is. Thanks a bunch man so in other words Kick will be amazing. Now I totally understand it only thing I will have to see is how do you change the wattage on the kick.

Someone should make a video hack I never even seen this kick I feel like such an idiot seriously. Everyone is like "AMAZING LOOKING FORWARD TO IT" and I am the guy that did not even know what it does. Really helpful thanks a lot helped me to notice that I found the reason why I sold my darwin, never knew what the wattage was.

Very good explanation of VW. I never heard the kick wouldn't do 12W ?!? What is the top end on them?

 

[Lax]

Want to quit, the kick has a small adjuster dial on the board. It will have to be set with the battery out of the mod or more likely pull the kick out of the mod. In theory with a wattage based system you won't be messing with it that much.... on the other hand if you switch juice often and know each juices sweet spot you may still want to adjust often. I don't have a Darwin so can't really say for sure.

This video from 26 min and 20 seconds talks about the kick and using it. Also a decient explination of VW

10 on the betas. From what I understand Evolv hasn't set anything in stone though as they want to wait till they get the beta tester feedback. I am hoping they will have more information tomorrow on their interview.
