This guy reviews Stingray clone by EHpro; although he's got stainless steel version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMTHrodFa1g
He also quotes some Malaysian site where he bought his cloned Stingray, but I couldn't found the site.
BTW, does someone know if Infinite used to make stainless steel Stingrays ? I've seen the SS version in-stock for $69.00, a vendor claims it's by Infinite, but I've seen only brass and copper clones by Infinite. Thank you.
Personally, I wouldn't bother spending that much one. I got my SS version for $26 from fasttech and it's great.. no complaints at all with it.
Im pretty sure I saw a picture of the stainless steel one on infinites instagram page. Could be wrong though, but I believe I saw it.

Did anyone order from here and receive it yet? Mine seems to have turned into a pre-order but the shipping label has been printed. It said "IN STOCK! NOT A PRE-ORDER! SHIPS SAME DAY!". The add now states "sold out, ships by the 25th"
I guess it could have gotten lost in the mail before the first scan but that's unlikely. I have contacted the seller and am waiting for the answer.
Edit: It has now been accepted ... this afternoon @ 2:44 pm....................really not that hard to figure why, you have to take it to the post office before it can be sent.

Mine is scheduled to arrive on Friday the 25th. They physically shipped it out a couple days after the tracking number was issued and I was also worried about the "ships by the 25th" message at first. I'll update when I receive it and post pics if anyone is interested.
Damn! You must of ordered a while ago then right? Cause I only ordered about 2 weeks ago, not even maybe, so ill probly get mine next week sometime. I will give them this though at least they are informative about whats going on with the shipment.

Nah ordered friday, I know they were out of stock for a bit, got mine today! Best mod I've hit, better than my buddy's AR!
I received my Infinite Black Copper Stingray clone from CodeVape (ebay) today. Below are my initial impressions...
The build quality is generally pretty good. All of the threading is nice and smooth. Unlike the genuine JD Tech, the outer threading is copper instead of coated in black. The black coating is well done with no imperfections. The engraving is fairly deep (you can feel it) and is done cleanly. The floating positive pin works well and should have enough length to work with just about any atty. The switch has a short and light throw and I have had no issues with misfires nor have I had issues with it sticking. With a filled Kayfun Lite on top, it won't fire itself when standing up. However, my switch is quite wobbly and it feels much more stable standing it up with the locking ring engaged. The two main tubes (the ones with the engraving) are for 18350 and 18490 modes respectively. With the extension tube + the 18490 tube, you get 18650 mode. There is a visible seam when using the extension tube (I wish there was a dedicated 18650 tube but that's just nitpicking). The included matching drip tip is made of black delrin (or maybe acrylic?) with a copper trim ring.
The only other mech I own is a stainless HCigar Nemesis clone and I'll make some comparisons since that's a pretty popular mod. The switch on the Stingray has a much shorter throw than my Nemesis (with magnets) but as stated, it is pretty wobbly. For those who own a Nemesis clone, you know how the locking ring is pretty dang thin and any pressure on the locking ring causes it to bind? Well, the locking ring is visibly thicker and is easier to operate on the Stingray (it doesn't have that same minor issue). The Stingray subjectively hits a little harder than my Nemesis (I don't have a meter to gauge quantitative differences in voltage drop) presumably due to it being copper vs. stainless.
I am very happy with this acquisition and the Infinite Black Copper Stingray will be my new daily carry mod. I, and this is obviously purely subjective, like it better than my stainless HCigar Nemesis. If you're looking for a Black Copper Stingray clone, the Infinite version is pretty darn good IMO.

wow, I need to get that. looks off the chain. I have been using the infinite exclusively for a week. I have so called much higher end mods but I just love this thing. it is not perfect but it has the best combination of what I want. nice switch, hard hit. I did nothing to the switch. after a few days it was just smooth on it's own. I kept feeling the need to buy more mods. now I don't really. I think it says a lot I like this better than the jd version. it may in fact actually be phantom brass concoction because it aged like the jd which is a little different than naval brass. either way I don't care what it is. it is great.
yeah, the switch is very wobbly but who sets it down unlocked? I couldn't care less about that.

I got my Infinite today as well. Both tubes have uneven overspray on the threads (bottom locking ring end), my 18350 arrived with a scratch, and the button absolutely sucks.
Other than that it's nice.

Dang i want one and im so lost as to which one to buy lol. Ehpro, Fasttech, Infinite, so many choices, wahhhhh!!
My Infinite arrived also, it's tube(s) appear 2 mm too short allowing it's wobbly switch to stick out an extra 2 mm.
I wish I would have just gotten the FT A model, I like the idea of a one piece 18650 tube.
(2 mm shorter than my FT brass one) and with 65 mm batteries

I don't know who the manufacturer is but I ordered the following from Focalecig and couldn't be happier with the quality, I wish it was seamless but some are and some aren't.
The engravings on the button and tube are etched in and have nice depth, the switch performs flawlessly after cleaned.
Drip tip is not plated but solid stainless and brass, nicely etched also.

Here it is with a "white russian" sitting on top with the included drip tip.
When I first got it, no patina
I haven't polished it whatsoever, just wipe with a microfiber cloth every now and then.
