Will a kick regulate 2 18650s in series?

Sorry but no. The kick is boost only not buck boost.

Probably depends on the kick unit.
Both my vamo and sig zmax are supposed to work with 2 x 18650 stacked batteries therefore they can accept 6.6 to 8.4 volt input.
So maybe you can make use of the vamo v5 module which should therefore accept it?
Otherwise there is the sigelei drop in module, which, if it accepts the same inputs as the sigelei zmax, should be able to do it too:

Oh, but wait... the question was whether it would be safe! No; the kick won't make stacking batteries any less hazzardous.

The Sigelei kick is a clone, has a low voltage cutoff of 3.1v and can be set to 5-10 watts. Again it is boost only, so one battery.
Thanks everyone. Thats what I would have guessed. Just wanted to double check.
You people are great. Got my vamo board coming, so I'll hold out on a double batt build til it gets here!

If you have to ask are unsure... then it's most likely not safe.
making a point on a previous comment.
IF a company makes one chip that can handle stacked batteries... please dont assume that the rest of their products can do the same...
It would be even better if your misguided assumptions weren't announced on a public forum, Someone may think you know what you are talking about.
