Thanks a lot, everyone!! I am loving it. I am still somewhat new to the whole "vaping" scene in general, so I am still trying different juices and still waiting for some other cartomizers to use with the infinity (although the re-used Smokestick rn4081's work pretty well).
Already, the extra battery life is a huge pleasure. And being able to play with the voltage and get that extra "kick" is amazing.
I am going to have a bunch more questions, but I want to relax and play with it for a while. (I am glad my DIY stuff came in and I mixed up some fairly low Nic juice or I would have already OD'ed - the Infinity is just so much fun to use.
Seriously though, Thank you Mike, for getting it sent out so quickly!

Yes, it was fast! Although, anything longer than instant Molecular Transfer after an Order always seems too long, lol. I was so looking forward to getting it that it was still a little tough to wait.

G I hear ya on the lower nic usage! I diy most of what I vape and I mix mine at 12mg. I have either my Buzz or M my Infinity in my face all the time. I was a chain smoker so it's no surprise that I'm a chain vaper. I'm tickled for you...enjoy playing with your new Infinity!!
Ok, let me correct myself...I actually have 12mg on one PV and 14 to 16 on the other. I vape between the two constantly, if I go any higher nic than that I get a screamin headache and the shakes and clench my teeth. I am guessing that's being over nic'd
I was so used to mixing at 12mg that I forgot my last batch of Watermelon Cream I mixed at 16mg to see if it lessened my cig cravings.

Thank you so much! Yeah,sometimes I think I should just duct tape the PV to my face or "rig" it up to a gas mask. lol
I am still fairly new to this and I am trying to find a balance. I have some 24, 18, and I just mixed up some 12 and 14. I find at times, especially when "testing out" new flavors, I just "hit on it constantly. 50 hits of 18 or 24 in an hour and I can't hear over my heart beat or see straight, lol. I do think that higher dose and less hits is probably better, but it is all still pretty new to me so I have to re-learn some behaviors(I used to stop smoking when it burned down) now I vape until I see stars, lol. I am learning and adjusting every day!
I'm one of those that was able to go no nic after about 4 months of vaping. I still will use up to 6 nic once in a while if I feel like it. Problem with the low nic and especially the no nic is no TH. I'm not a big TH person BUT I still need some sometimes. Funny thing about that is I didn't think it was any deal to me on the high nic levels but I can tell its lacking on the no nic level. For some reason no nic give me the desire for more flavor than higher nic juice too. I'm loving my Infinity now because I can dial into the more flavor of my juice and go just a tad higher and get some TH.
Still loving my Infinity! I has not left my side(and barely left my lips 
Thought I would give a brief review for others who may be considering purchasing one.
I have the Black w/ chrome top. It is sleek and very classy looking and the anodization is very good quality. The voltage control works nice, moves easily when pushed but does not move on it's own easily. The push button actuator feels perfect, it requires just the right amount of pressure. You need to push it but it does not hurt your thumb to hold it in.
The battery life is very good. It lasts me pretty much all day and I do use it quite a bit.
The variable voltage is awesome. It provides a regulated voltage for the life of the batteries and can be "dialed in" to just the right voltage for the atomizer and juice you are using. It changes the character of the "vape" a surprising amount - different voltages provide differnet flavors and throat hit. Just simply awesome
I would like to make a few points, though - not complaints but a few things that could be possible refinements at some point. I understand well that there will always be tradeoffs as far as features versus cost and the price point of the Infinity is fabulous for the quality of a device it is. That said:
The voltage wheel: Although I personally don't care what my exact voltage is(mine registers 3.358v-6.37v) it would be very helpful to be able to quickly glance at it to make sure it hasn't moved appreciably. Even with my "old man" reading glasses on I can't make out any numbers on it, maybe with a flashlight and a magnifying glass. If feasible, ideally I would like to see a slightly wider wheel, with numbers but also with maybe three color regions, maybe blue=3.358 to 4.3, yellow 4.3 to 5.3, red 5.3 to 6.37. (edit: I actually just fried a carto because I forgot to turn the voltage back down from 6.37v when I tested with my meter, lol)
I like the fact that the LED doesn't blind me when I use the device, But, I also think it would be nice to be able to see the "on" indicator LED while I am using the device. Additionally, it would be great to have some indication that the batteries are getting low, e.g. a red indicator LED comes on during activation when there is a 15% charge left instead of the blue LED. Also, I think a slightly more obvious indicator LED would be very helpful in those rare cases where something goes a little "funny" and the device either stops working or decides to stay on.
The end cap needs grooves - it is very "slippery" and is difficult to take off and put on. Also, ideally, I would like to see slightly longer threading on the endcap and anodized threads to allow switch "lockout". In my research, prior to deciding to purchase the Infinity, The one complaint I came across was lack of an override "off" switch and the resultant "pocket firing". i decided this was not a deal breaker for me, however, I think it would be a great addition to an already amazing device.
My only other thought is that, in a device with two Li Ion batteries in series, I would like to see "reverse polarity" protection, because, let's face it, who hasn't put a battery in backwards once or twice in their lives.
That's it for now, I hope my thoughts are taken with the intention they were given - which is merely a few items that could potentially be an improvement to an already wonderful device. I fully understand "cost benefit analysis" and some may not even like my suggestions but I thought I would throw my ideas out there.
All things considered, the Infinity is a stellar looking and wonderfully performing variable volt Personal Vaporizer and should strongly be considered by anyone who takes their "vaping" seriously.

G that was very good review and your thoughts and suggestions are always welcome here. I think one of the biggest challenges with incorporating some of the things you mention is the finite about of space to work with inside the Infinity.
I am happy to hear that the reverse polarity is in the works...I haven't made that brain fart yet, but it sure is easy to do. Frankly, some people just don't know any better. In most common devices such as flashlights if you plop the batts in the wrong way it's no big deal.

Well ya, I couldn't vape 24mg. like that either. Dang that's some serious power vaping. Your batteries probably last an hour huh? JK
PS I liked your review and your suggestions and although I have never installed batteries backwards it does only take once.
At the time notcig was designing and building the Infinity all that was heard was hurry, hurry, hurry so he hurried. You can have it fast or with many added features but not both. I do agree with you on every comment or suggestion you made and at the top of my list is the end cap smoothness. Great review.

I hope you do make more! I hope you didn't think I was being disparaging, I really love my Infinity!
I showed it to a buddy of mine, all he has is a Blu e-cig. He did an eye roll, and said "that things big." I grabbed an unused drip tip and handed him the Infinity with a couple of full cartos of different juices. He took one hit, His eyes opened WIDE and a big smile came across his face. I put my hand out to take the Infinity back ... and he wouldn't give it to me!
He tried it a bunch more times and finally relented and gave it back. After a minute he just said "How much for one of these?" and when I told him he said "I've gotta get one of those!".Ha Ha, I may have been exaggerating, slightly
I am still learning to adapt a bit. I sometimes just forget to stop vaping and put it down. It's not like 12 puffs and it goes out!
Thank You, I appreciate that!
It is always a balancing act, cost-benefit, time to market. The best product on the planet priced too high and a year too late will not be very successful.
In my "review", wanted to express how much I love the Infinity, because I truly do love it. But my analytic side kicks in and I think "Hey, it's this great now .... what if we just add this .....
" I just wanted to be sure to make it clear that I highly recommend the Infinity and I wasn't trying to tear it apart.Sometimes my analyses can can come off obnoxious and annoying - at least that's what my girlfriend tells me.
Your comments are reassuring, thanks again.
