Hello,
I have been vaping for a little over a year and a half now and have been off analogs for that time aside from the occasional blue moon cigarette. I started out with a long string of poor choices including blu, and others in the same category. I still remember my first drag off of a manual 510 cart after struggling for weeks with a blu. The new 510 brought with it a complete commitment to vaping and I turned away from my analog past. I discovered this site and began to follow, and still do, the vast impact these devices are having on business as usual in the tobacco industry.
A few weeks a go I decided I would try a vv device. Of course, there is nothing else out there more exciting to me than the Darwin and its power regulation, but, the cost and availability offer considerable headwind. Having a weakness for numbers and mathematics, the Infinity from Notcigs appealed to me and I purchased the kit.
The kit included the Infinity PV, a set of 14430 Li batteries, and a 110vAC/12vDC charger.
The PV has an analog dial to adjust the voltage. There is a blue LED on the inside of the PV which provides a very small amount of light to the right side of the voltage dial. I ordered the 510 connector. The manufacturer states that no low resistance atomizers are to be used with the device, so I ordered a few regular 510 atomizers.
When the device arrived, I waited for what seemed like forever for the batteries to charge. There is a one week build time, so once you receive the device, the anticipatory tension can rise to dangerous levels while you watch the charger hour after hour.
Finally, I went to put the batteries in, and they did not fit! They were not way too big, but they were getting stuck about an inch down int the tube. I didn't know what to think, so I gave the battery a good shove and it sank in. I placed the second battery in and screwed in the lid. The device began to heat up rapidly. I suspected a short. I unscrewed the lid cap, and pounded the tube against my open hand to apply some centripetal force. With a little help from gravity the batteries came out. They were quite hot! I inspected them and noticed that the plastic-wrapping around the battery was badly frayed on one battery. A metal strip that runs the length of the battery was exposed slightly and I assume contact was made with the inner wall of the tube.
It turns out the other battery of the set would not fit in the tube either, so both in that set were too large. I had also picked up an extra set from Notcigs and so I tried the other set and there were no issues. I waited another few hours and finally plopped a fresh set of batteries into the Infinity for the first use test.
I can say the battery drama was well worth it and the Infinity gives an amazing hit! It can be as warm and urgent or slow and delicious as you like. It seems like the consistency of the hit is vastly improved. The batteries have lasted me at least 7 hours, so I am hoping one set will get me through work.
I couldn't really want a better hit than what I am receiving now with the Infinity. At the same time, I know there is a Darwin-like device in my future at some point.
