Kick/mech mod question

[collie2011]

Aside from controlling the wattage, what does a kick do? Will it stop me from over discharging the batteries?

What is it's actual job?

Then evolv kick will stop batteries over discharging not sure about generic kicks such as sigelei smok and the lIkkes.
They also act like a fuse to prevent too much current being drawn.

It's job is to control the wattage - without a kick, the voltage will decrease as the battery drains, so the power of the vape will decrease the longer you use it.

Most, if not all, kicks also have short circuit protection, and will cut out when the battery is too low. The kicks I have cut out at 3 volts, although the vape gets pretty weak before you get there. 3 volts is lower than I would like to discharge my batteries, I like to swap them around 3.5v, so I've normally swapped them before I get there.

Could someone tag Ronaldo please? I'm on my tablet and can't do it, just thinking he might know

The purpose is to regulate the output, to do that it gives you control over wattage
And by reading the resistance of the coil it calculates the output voltage required.
Without a kick you would notice the voltage drop off and replace the battery,
But the kick will disguise the voltage drop off, so it switches off when the battery
Gets too low. The electronics are fragile and can't cope with high amps, so it
Protects itself from low resistance readings, this means sub ohms and dead shorts
Will switch it off. They don't have reverse battery protection so you will fry the
Chip if you fit the battery the wrong way round.

i must have taught you all well all answers have been correct give yourselves a pat on the back and keep vaping

[ronaldo]

sorry it took so long for my reply but i was sorting a very serious problem out on the phone for a member (a matter of life or death) i kid you not

[collie2011]

How would I know if it stops working?

If it stops working your mod won't fire as there will be no current passing thru the kick to the atty

[collie2011]

Oh good, so I can't be accidentally vaping away with no protection in there haha.

no treat it as a fuse if you can vape its working if you cant vape change your batterys i have never heard of one stop working exept when someone has fitted batterys wrong way around then it would be kna broken

Leave it out and just change the battery when it runs down, with hair that colour you're supposed to be a bit wild, a kick just doesn't fit the image imo

[collie2011]

Wild yes, but safe lol
