I didn't mean to intrude, I know several had asked before if super T was getting the kick v2, no response. I just assumed they weren't since they had the crown. I didn't think it was competition since super T didn't have any.
Today I find out they will be getting some, after the fact.

I will wait for SuperT to get the Kick2 in..... Any idea when David?
BLAH just saw the DAVID part!!! Excuse my answer!!

I got the kick v2 in the kicklet. I say that cause at first, I wasn't sure I was going to get it in there. The little contacts I guess you would call them on the kick v2, are a pain in the .... to try and get pass that threading. I haven't tried to take it out, and I don't think I plan to.
p+18650 plus the kicklet and kayfun, that is TALL!!!!
OHHH and I have my kayfun built at 1.1 ohm. This kick v2 is working more like the darwin. Sucker is allowing me to change the wattage. Right now, I am liking very much!

Its in the Kicklet for life. I stopped Kicking P+ mods...Threads will tear the Kick up....Now the ELA on the other hand was build for the Kick-smooth walls and stays in when removing the battery.....++
Well I like this kickv2 so much that I could care less that it is stuck in the kicklet. What is going to suck is if it ever dies on me, ugh. Seriously this thing preforms way better than v1. I have been using it since I got it earlier. I love it, I want another.
well soon Super T should get theirs in. See you did a good thing getting yours from somewhere else. You can be the spokesperson and think of yourself as the "guinea pig" or beta tester You will probably be the reason it sells out as soon as they come in.

Agreed
I haven't tried it in my ELA as of yet, but I am currently using my V2 in another mod, one that tends to be finicky when Kicked. Figured that was the perfect testing ground for it. I'm not pushing the wattage high, just running it like I normally did the V1 in this mod: around 8-9 watts with a 3.0 ohm 306 atty. With the V1, I had to remove my battery spring in this mod in order to get consistent performance, and even then it sometimes misfired or gave me the stutter-vape because of a wonky connnection. With the V2 it's working flawlessly so far. Only been using it for a short time this morning, though, but enough to already notice the difference. Very interested to see where the battery is at (unloaded) when the V2 cuts out, that's the part I'm most interested in since with the V1 my batts were only down around 3.7-3.8 unloaded when the Kick V1 would start to cut out, rarely they got as low as 3.6
My V1 Kick has gone unused for quite some time since I've moved on mostly to rebuildables and SLR coils for my mech mods, but sometimes I really do prefer a Kicked 2-3 ohm coil to an SLR at 3.7v, both for consistency and characteristics of the vape (there is a big difference IMHO, though I like both options depending on my mood and either can be equally satisfying for me). So far, the Kick V2 looks to be very promising in revitalizing my interest in using these type of modules
ana, I'm fairly certain you're right that they will sell out quickly when they reach SuperT's site ;-)
I just committed one of my kayfuns to the kick v2. Just rebuilt a new coil, 4/5 wraps of 34 gauge, 1.5mm ekowool 500 mesh about 2.7 ohm. Got no idea what wattage I am setting at. I did lower it from what I was using with the 1.1 ohm. If I can get longer battery life, I will be thrilled!
I read somewhere that the new cut off is suppose to be 2.7 volts. If that is true, I got no clue. Killjoy I will look forward to see what you come up with on voltage cutoff. I did notice like kick v1, that the power seems to become inaccurate as the battery voltage drops. I haven't hit the pulse yet, cause I change out my battery when I notice the power drop off.

I'll be sure to report back. Using an 18500 right now and it's got a ways to go, yet. The Kick V1 cut out at 3.2 loaded IIRC, so I expect the difference in vape time to be noticeable. We'll see soon . . .
Well NOW I need to check these out. THANKS FRECKLE!!
Ok, back to regular scheduled programming

First battery started to give me the stutter-vape occasionally, metered at 3.51v unloaded. I could still fiddle with my telescope to get a dozen more hits out of it before it happened again, but this is still a marked improvement over the V1 Kick's performance for this particular mod. I could probably do all the other little tinker-ey things I used to do to get Kick performance here and get more life out of it, but for the sake of this experiment I'm calling it good enough since I didn't have to do those things just to get it working in the first place.
Will have to give it a go in my ELA next, now that I've tried it out in a mod I'd already used a Kick in before (for direct comparison purposes). I'm thinking same atty, same setting. I suspect it will be to slightly better results, my P+ always gave me a little longer battery life than the mod I've been using today when there was a Kick involved

I did notice this a little. Not so much while I was vaping since it was a gradual change, but after I put in a fresh battery it was a slightly harder hit than the old one before I took it out. I don't have any way of taking an inline voltage reading when in use, so that observation is just on "feel", of course
I also do not have a way of taking a voltage measurement while in use.
Overall, I am very happy with this kick v2, I think there are some great improvements, maybe not perfect, though some great improvements. Last night I tried to see how long I could get out of an 18650 aw imr 1600 mah. Remember I have no clue what wattage, all I know it is that it "feels" comparable to 1.1 ohm on a straight up battery. I was on about 10.5 hours, and I be dern if I didn't drop my mod. When I picked it up, it wouldn't work with the current battery. I thought I already killed my kick. Switched out batteries and it worked, whew I was scared for a moment.

got 3.5v when it started sputtering. 9w with a 1.7 ohm kayfun. the kick2 is my first kick and i really like it. i havent done any dripping with it yet but when my new juice get in i will have to do some sampling
Yep, 3.5v right on the money when I got my first stutter-vape with the Kick V2 in the ELA. That was with it set around 9 watts on a 3 ohm atty. Not quite as good as I was hoping for, but still a little more life than I ever got out of the Kick V1.
As far as "efficiency" goes, I'd say it's an improvement over the previous version. Instead of using 3-4 18500 batts for a full day of Kicked vaping, now I can do just 2 and start a third late in the evening depending on how heavy I vape that day

i had a little nipple on the top post of the kick that i sanded off. anybody else have a nipple on their kick2? i also buffed the bottom with a course rag to get some black crap off.
3.5v is fine with me, i am used to changing them out at 3.6 or so in all my devices.

Yep, mine has that little nipple on the top of the post. Doesn't seem to hurt anything. I suspect the last operation in the turning of that part is being cut off from the bar stock at that end, this is a typical result of that operation and on precision components would be removed in a later finishing process. Not big enough to worry about adding that extra step to the manufacturing process I would assume. I did have to polish up the bottom on mine, too, the brass on the bottom of the Kick was a little tarnished when it arrived, oddly enough it was the only part that was. Maybe oxidation there was accelerated by the heat used when the module was shrink-wrapped
