My take on the Infinity Cu LE Cartel.

[pcporter827]

Okay so I officially have the coolest g/f ever. I saw this bad boy online at eciggity originally, and really liked the design, so I watched a ton of video reviews and read the only other review for this mod on here and decided to pull the trigger given the mostly positive response to this iteration of the cartel. Idk if I shared this but I recently lost my job and my apartment, my girl knowing how down on my luck I've been decided to order this mod for me but when she went to check it out, it was out of stock. After doing a longer search for it we found it in stock at blackcloudvapor for a relatively decent price compared to the only other sites that still had it in stock. After seeing that their stock was also pretty low, she emailed the guys there and asked if it was possible to hold one until her pay day, and they said that it would be no problem at all. On Friday we ordered it, and today it arrived in the mail. After chain vaping it for most of the day I can easily say that this mod feels made for me. .

It comes in a nice box, kinda wish it was metal but whatever.

The sites description wasn't lying about the thickness of it, this thing is really beastly. And the best part about it is how clean all the tubes came, no need to clean anything at all ( I still gave a quick once over, especially the switch).

I'm very happy with the throw, smooth as ever, and has fired every time I've hit it.And I must say the engraving on this thing is pretty top notch

Silver plated pins are also a huge plus.

The threading on this is also top notch

Thought I would end up with a number in the thousands, I was pleasantly surprised.

It's already developing a nice patina!

Overall I'm extremely pleased with this, from the wonderful customer service to the brilliant craftsmanship, I doubt I could not be happier. She hits hard as hell, feels sooooooooo freaking good in the hand, has yet to auto fire on me and I've been toting her around in my pocket all day. For sure the best clone I've held to date. Now all I need is a copper stillare

My cu mod collection has begun!

Another thing I noticed about the copper on this mod is that it patinas rather quickly, that or I really just need to put this thing down once in a while lol.

I want to get the brass one as well. From what I gathered big Lou said there's hardly any voltage loss on either the copper or the brass. I heard tho that the brass makes your hands smell? The copper turns my hands green but there is no smell, I wonder if the brass will be the opposite

 

[Bad Ninja]

Alcohol wipes.
Keep hands and mod wiped down with alcohol and no brass smell.

 

[DoubleWesternCheeseburger]

hmm no smell on my hands with mine. i did clean it down with alcohol first when i got it. just that once though

Still enjoying the Cartel? I bit the bullet and ordered one last night.

It's my current all day mod. I'm in love with the weight of it.

You gotta love the Cartel, it's really hard to believe that it's a clone. I have the copper and it just looks beautiful. The button is great and that black ring on the bottom lets you squeeze some RDA's in that might not fit otherwise. I've been running mine with a copper Stillare and everyone at my office was eyeballing it all day. I have a lot of mods but I really got to say this is "the one".

 

[pcporter827]

I have had many many mods, this one is by far one of my favorites. Now if only fatdaddyvapes would make some copper pins for it.

Picked up the infinite copper cartel LE mod a few weeks back. Looks great, feels great, performs amazingly well when I hit the switch correctly.. and that's the problem. The negative pin doesn't sit snug in the switch housing. I have to hit it juuuust right, far off on the one side of the switch, in order to make a good connection with the negative pin to the battery. From what I can see, the hole in the switch that the negative pin slides through before screwing into the button is too large. This means that when I push the button in, the pin doesn't move straight up and down, but instead it moves at all sorts of odd angles.

Anybody else with this problem? Any ideas for a fix?

 

[pcporter827]

Hmmm mine does not have that issue. But I would imagine use the top pin to push the battery down just a little further.

Not having that issue either. If the hole is to large i'm not sure you can fix. Can you exchange it?

Got mine yesterday, beautiful mod...

Hey did you still have problems with the button? I took my switch apart and the pin does not fit flush with the housing either, but I've never had the no fire issue, I believe this is due to the fact that I always use the telescoping pin on the top cap to literally push the battery down as far as I can without stripping the threads. The o ring on the switch is soft and squishy for a reason [emoji16]. Hope it works for you.

Very nice! And yes this mod is a beauty, I fall in love with mine ever time I pick it up.

 

[Kracker]

I feel the same way about my Brass King from them, LOVE that thing ! It feels like a weapon it's so heavy and the switch is so smooth as well. As soon as you hit the button the coils are screaming. Hearing this, I'll now get one of these in copper. Thanks !!

Hey, I had a similar issue, and if your pins are as mine were I have a solution. I exchanged mine even, and all were the same in the shop. Mine had a raised portion on the negative, and positive pins in the center, where it appeared that the silver plating had been finished. It was only raised a tiny bit, but enough to inconsistently fire, and turn a spot on my batts black. It would be intermittent, but both did it, the weirdest part was that it always fired, just sometimes very weak. I've never had that, they either don't fire, or do, but that and the black told me there was a contact issue, and it had to be the raised center.

I decided I'd wet sand the bur down carefully. It fixed the problem... I did it about an hour ago, and so far so good. Even changed batteries to a different brand. It is smooth as butter now with a quiet nice throw, no crunch. It did expose the brass a tiny bit where I sanded down the bur, but it looks like copper to me, actually. I know it says brass, and it's just my eye, but I'm wondering if these infinites are silver plated copper, and they just copied the spec sheet from cartel.

I haven't done a test, obviously, but it hits just as hard, even though there's no way I could tell besides a voltage drop test. The plating will wear off eventually anyway. I might sand the positive post, too, since it is the same, and is denting my batteries a tiny bit. I don't think it's a big deal, but it still is not something I like. Now that it's working, I'm kinda afraid to mess with it anymore.

Anyone else have raised spots on the center of there positive and negative pins? All the ones at the shop did, I wonder if it was one bad batch, just a poor plating job. I hope this works for you btw. This mod is SOOO well built that I refused to,give up. It feels like an authentic to me. No crunch, great threads, and smooth switch now that I sanded it. Nothing's perfect with clones, but after resolving that this one is darn close.

One thing I have noticed is when adjusting the pins for battery rattle/contact you dont want it just right you want it a bit tight. What I mean is the switch has the o-ring so adjust it to where the switch screws on a bit tight for the last turn. When I do this it fires like a beast. If I make it where the switch screws on with no effort it doesn't always fire.

Maybe this will help some folks, I think it is meant to screw on tight not lose/easy like most mechs.
