w00t. Got my copper foil today. Hope to get some time tonight to try it. As an aside, I got 50 adhesive backed pieces, so if anyone is interested in adding a kick to their XL, or refreshing their foil setup, let me know...
woot woot, got mine today, I now have enough cooper adhesive to mod about fifty Vmod XL's for the kick. So I will be open to sending some out is anyone needs some too. But first....tomorrow I perform surgery on the XL.

Ok, y'all, I finally got a chance to install the foil I received. Works a treat. I stuck 3 sheets together, trimmed approx 3/8" from the long side, 1/4" short side, created a slightly offset flap at the bottom which I carefully slid below the bottom ring of the battery ground spring. Fits perfect and my Kick is working perfectly. My XL loves me again.Next on the agenda is to devise a way to secure the kick a bit better while inserted so it isn't so fiddly when changing the 18490.
you did not pay attention to the detail of my picutre huh? LOL! look at my Kick. it has an o-ring that fits perfectly in the slit of the chasis.
D'oh!! Honestly, I didn't catch that when I saw the pic. Nice man. Going to try that. Any idea what the size of that o-ring is?
to be honest I don't know what size since I just picked it up from my stash of o-rings. just go to a local hardware shop and bring the VMOD XL (with Kick) with you.
Ya never mind. I found a few extra ChID cap o-rings. Works.Had to cut a slit in the copper foil config I have. I actually left the factory little foam thingies under the foil, so everything fits nice and snug. Sweet. Much much better than my beer can bottom ground ring I originally came up with. LOL
you have to post a picture of the finish product!
Congrats! I'm working on mine, and I'm really glad you gave a description of what you did. I find fiddly work like this a little tricky sometimes, and I need to ask...so you're using 3 pieces, and you're not using the sticky side, in other words you're not sticking the copper to the xl with the adhesive, correct? also, I see the thing you're talking about, with the kick sitting on top of the battery it's a bit wobblely, I saw in a pic that it sits in there better if you put the blue square under the edge of the mod-part to the right. I'm taking my time. I have a piece cut out to slide in, but I was going to use 1 piece and stick it to the body of the xl. Feedback Please...
