Megalodon new sleeve option !

[jsis]

So we've had the megalodon.. Which also turned minidon. Up next is the megalominidon.

Questioned tim a while back regarding this, as I believe have a few others. Finally got a good response. Within the next couple of weeks, there should be a new sleeve available to don owners. Bigger than the mini, yet shorter than the mega, which will allow us to use 18500 batteries too. Not sure if it will make use of extra types aswel.. But have been waiting for this bit of kit for a while. Yipyay!

It should be available as the next batch of dons arrive and I'm hoping it's gonna be the medium I've been looking for between stealth, and extra long battery life.

Just thought others may like to know if they own or use this device. 2 weeks and it should finally be with us

Hmmmm Blakey thinks that this might double up a bit as an extension for the kick

[Gordy]

It's a mythological device from the USA, some say it may one day find it's way here, but they are dark rumors- But then the Lavatube was once a rumor

I don't see the point in it unless you're going to use a kick with a 18350.

What's a kick ? I pressumed you meant ooomphh lol.

The thing for me.. I don't use 18650's. Find them far too excessive. The point in an 18500 option.. is it's much smaller than the previous option.. but offers you double the mah of it's 18350 counterpart. An extra 1.5cm for double mah is impressive. Not sure what size the sleeve will translate as though. With the adjustable throw, around the 1.5cm mark still would be perfect.

[jsis]

I would also suggest a good point of it.. is that if you've had a look over at mojurepublic lately. They are now selling a lot of 'b' grade parts for the don, where they have been scratched ect during manufacturing. For the best part of it, I should imagine halve the oringinal sleeves they have that way, could be cut down and reworked into 'a' grade 18500 sleeves. Could be wrong there, but if you look at various places on the web, there has been somewhat of a call for them. And moju has finally listened.

Extra options be what they may, can only be a good thing

The Kick is a clever ' chip ' that can turn your Mod into a variable wattage device Jsis . . . using the same technology as in the Darwin.

Getting hold of one, is slightly more of a mission though.

[jsis]

Hmmm, that does comes across as a little interesting lol. My first thought that came to mind was safety. But i think thats answered in that fact other devices already use it safely.

I'm not sure I'm interested in VV. Are the chips expensive ? I already have 5v, 6v, and 7.4v options availble to me. To be honest though I'm quite comfortable with 3.7v and boge LR cartomizers. I always thought the idea of the LR gear was to simulate vaping at higher voltages anyway.

I'm good with missions lol.. Do they have a reasonable enough price to make it worthy one though.

[jsis]

Didn't see your link originally Perp.

On investigation, the unit isn't for me. Especialy at £40-£45. I'd consider one at halve that price lol.

Would I be right in assuming that using the same batteries at higher voltages, will increse the battery drain and thus result in it having to be charged more often. Therfore shortining the overall amount of time your batteries will last you in the long run. The price is very expensive when you consider this and that you'll be spending more on battery replacements too. Given that an average battery will give you 500 charges theorectically before you can consider it dud. Give it 6 months if it isn't cheaper by then. I'll pass..

[Perpetua]

Thing is with the Kick Jsis . . . is that it isn't variable voltage, but variable wattage . . . so when you've dialed in your preferred wattage . . . generally 8.6 I use on the Darwin, then whatever you then screw in to it, will perform at that setting.

It's very clever technology it seems to a technophobe like me.

Tim at Moju will also be stocking an extension sleeve for the Don, from next month that will accomodate the Kick and still take 18350 or 18650 batteries as well.

[jsis]

Thanks, that's some good information to know.

Hahaha.. I took this from the about us page at evolvapour.com.. It seems they're years ahead of themselves

"We launched our newest product, the Kick Power Regulated drop-in module, at the Atlanta vape meet on August 18, 2012" <<< Lol.

Jokes aside, Is this american technology then or does it pass through china ? Just wondered if at some point HC may stock it too. May be visiting them again some time this side of christmas now I have two people nibbling at my stock.

I'd go for the original 18650 sleeve using a 18500 battery. Just to keep the size down. I did take note aswel that the kick specifies *****REMEMBER – USE IMR BATTERIES ONLY*****

It certainly does seem like a clever piece of kit. I'll have a read through your reviews when you all get yours.
