No such thing as min or max wattage. It's a very individual thing. It's like asking what temperature do you recommend that I drink my coffee at if you get my meaning.
Adjust up and down and find your sweet spot for the attachments (resistance) and juice. If you get burnt taste or it's too harsh go down and if you get a wimpy vape try it at a higher setting.
7 watts is a good starting point. Does not take long to settle on what suits you best.

Drop it off Chris if you have no joy with FT. I'll see what I can do.

It is the rattly one..As far as I know, all Kicks of Chinese origin are..
I find they are better at driving genesis attys than a linear regulator, in that they heat the coil quicker, especially with thicker wires. Haven't tried the Evolv2 yet.
And when people talk about rattlesnake noise it's very muted. It's not all that loud. I have no idea why such a big thing is made of this.

I am sure he means the 804 due to references to cutting two notches on the chimney and silica wick setup.

Indeed. I had a lot of fun organizing them to while away those night shifts talking to the Chinese.. I haven't bought anything Vaping related since February except for some nicbase that Chris organised..  I am trying to take stock and get rid of surplus vaping stuff lying around the house as it's gradually getting filled with toys..  |

Likewise senorita..I have my little toddler three Saturdays & Sundays out of four and I have changed jobs so on 5 day a week. So very little rest or spare time.
I browse occasionally but not for very long. When I get some spare time, I am usually catching up on all the vaping news and the veritable attack of the clones.

Maybe that's the issue. They are not wick holes but feed holes and the channels are for juice to rise up and should be left clear.
When we got the first chrome version many of us thought they were wick holes too and the channels were for the wick and ended up with dry and burnt hits.
But try setting it up pretty much like a Kayfun and it will work great. Only problem is you can't access the wick to tuck it in nicely like a Kayfun because the top part of the chimney is not removable. But bung enough wick in there and it's a veritable fog machine with outstanding flavour and zero leakage or gurgling issues.

The Sigelei Kick clone uses the same chip as the Sigmax.
So it definitely is of the rattlesnake variety.
The FT one is apparently made by Tobeco but not confirmed. Some say it is a tight fit and some don't, so luck of the draw.

It's a great little atty..Steep learning curve but works very well.
Dunno about any chimney mods, but I use 8mm ( 2 x 4 strands) of wick in it and it delivers a excellent vape.
I wouldn't bother with SS.

I'm doing good mate ta, will we be seeing you on the 7th on our little vaping boat? I think we all have to blow our vapour up the funnel to make it look like the engines are running- good for publicity  . How's things with you despite the busyness? I am tied up every three Saturdays out of four, so unfortunately can't do 7th. I would love to come to the meets but they always seem to fall on a Saturday when I can't make it. Very busy at work, so it's all work and no play at the mo. Hopefully it should improve in 2014. I do meet with chrisjw on occasion when he drops in, but that's about it. |

Actually you are building a layer of iron oxide (rust) & chromium oxide to make the wick as non-conductive as possible and rigid at the same time. Else you will get shorts and might end up ruining your mod. SS is a bad conductor to begin with anyway which is why the pulse method also works where there is localised build up behind the coils. As you burn juice, you have additional layer of carbon depositing which insulates the wick further.
It's definitely not anodising as that is more common to Aluminium and rarely a few other metals but almost never Stainless Steel.
