Getting a satisfying vape from a kick 2 + mech vrs a DNA 30?

[Mrez]

So long story short my cloupor dna 30 died on me with the check atomizer warning. I'm devastated because I finaly had everything tuned the way I liked. I picked up a mech to replace it and its good but not quiet there yet, plus I'm nervous about taking it out and about. But I'm also wary of buying another box and having the same issue. So I was thinking about getting a kick 2 to add a level of protection for both my battery and hand. Has anyone had success with getting a good dense hit with nice flavor on a kick 2 ? What kind of build did you use to get there? On my clouper I was vaping dual or single 1 to 1.5 ohm coils at about 22-25 watts and it was great. With the kick 2 maxed at 15 watts is it going to be a strong enough vape? Ultimately I would prefer to have a few nice looking mechs to go out with somewhat worry fee, but I did love that little box...it was taken from me far to soon.

Well you can only go to 15 watts with the Kick-2. So it's only going to go so far with the cloud chasing.

I use a Kick-2 in my Nemmy all the time, with a Kayfun @ 9 watts with a 1.25 ohm coil. (that's 3.35v)
It's not a cloud producer, but it sure tastes good.

So I'm actually using the Kick-2 to reduce the voltage ....... not raise it.

I'm not so concerned about cloud chasing, the lowest coil I'm willing to push right now is about .6 ohm...and on a dripper that's been just about right. I was watching Rip Trippers review on it and he was still blowing some solid hunks of vape. Just trying to determine what coil would work best. And what others experience has been like.

While the Kick2 works well for my RTAs, personally, it's a bit lacking for my RDAs.

I use the original kick in a nemy clone whenever I am at home. I use single coils at 1.8 ohms (Kayfuns, Igos and Protanks) and 7.5 to 8 watts on the kick. Tastes good enough for me and decent vapor production.
