2618716]Yup that one is definitely the Infinite Stingray, I got the same box and labeling with my order as well. Well worth the $45 dollars IMO but I haven't seen the hcigar version yet.
My only word is seller it is the infinite but the box has white packaging in the box like the tebeco pics ive seen.Any input on this? Mechanical Mods Stingray 1 1 Copy High Quality Clone No More Waiting in Stock | eBay[/QUOTE]

That's strange, I haven't seen any Infinite boxes with the white interior. Try asking the poster if he can take a picture of the packaging. It should be reading ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE mod with a designation card on the side.

That the infinite? Seen one on ebay for 45.77 was thinking about ordering it.

Yeah, this is the Infinite Stingray ... but it was $55 on ebay, I got it as a gift, but my friend sent me the ebay link so I could see the specs ... here is the link where purchased Stingray Mechanical Mod in Stock Fast Shipping USA | eBay

This is a pic of it set up, but its not the best lighting, its actually lighter in color than the pics appears

Pics or it didn't happen ;)

Did you get the polished or brushed version?

Either way, just go buy a little metal polish - do it by hand with a cotton cloth.



Nikkita6 can you post some close up pics of this on here (bottom button, top cap, logo, etc) I don't look at the setups thread often.

I've seen a Tobeco model and the brass portion in the bottom switch (with the logo) - looks like a separate piece inside the steel - vs. the FT models I have which look super flush - almost like the brass is plated on the steel (maybe it is...).

Yeah sure ... I will put some pics of it broken down tomorrow .. I need to give it a good washing anyway so I can do some proper porn :laugh:

Ok, so I'm back with some break down pics of this Infinite Stingray clone ... What is most surprising is that this is hands down the dirtiest mod I have ever received, specifically the threads. However, even before attempting to clean it up, every single piece threaded on and off like silk, while filthy.

The switch was crunchy as hell, and kept sticking right out of the box however, since cleaning it, and with use over the last two days, it is no longer crunchy, or sticking.




My biggest gripe with this mod is the finish, which is supposed to be polished, and it is, yet you can clearly see the brush markings in from the lower grit work ... so this is the saddest polishing job I have ever seen on a mod. It is also a stretch to call this "phantom brass" because clearly it is not ... not even close. What they should call it though, is Phantom Polish which is very accurate considering the finish changes appearance from brushed to polished, depending on the angle, and lighting, as can be clearly seen in all of the photos attached.

Right now as the mod is standing upright next to me, it appears to be a gleaming mirror polish ... lay it on its side, and it's suddenly brushed ... its Phantom polished people :laugh:




What is good about the Infinite Stingray is in addition to the very fine, and silky threads, are the near invisible seams between tubes, which again depending on angle, and lighting, appear very, very faint to invisible.




So there you have it ... The Infinite JD Stingray phantom polish clone :laugh: ... In spite of the phantom polish job, I still love this mod, it hits totally beast, the threads are the best I have experienced, and the switch is dope once you clean it up ... all in all, still a winner in my book.

Last note, you will be adjusting the switch quite a bit to accommodate nipple top batteries, so flat tops are your friend. :D

That's a good one. Phantom polished:)

I'd be tempted to DIY brush; flat mirror polished if logo is deep enough.
I like brushed if it's really brushed. Some "brushed" mods are actually mods whose raw milling marks were not cleaned up.

:laugh: ... If you like it brushed, just leave it laying down, you'll have all the brush you want :p ... Real talk though, when I first received the mod, and opened the box I said "oh nice, a brushed brass mod", because mind you I did not order it personally, it was a gift so I didn't know the manufacturer specs on it until I was sent the seller link .... at which point my mind was a little messed up because for the first 6 hours of ownership I honestly thought it was an intentional brush finish.

I dunno emus darling ... I am no " metal finishing expert ", but I think you if you brushed/flat mirror polish this baby, you might end up with a phantom logo :laugh: because the etching is not that deep. :unsure:

I should contact Infinite with my idea for a new marketing strategy, Phantom Polish ... it could work :laugh:

Once i get brass rings for my kayfun it is gonna be one bad looking setup.
