Now that I've had a couple days with it, I'm more comfortable posting some more information. Just to get it out of the way, other TI I have used only includes a few swings, a Cosmic 14mm grade 5 ti nail, and a generic ti nail.
I think one of the biggest advantages the Infiniti has to any of those is mass. This thing holds a ridiculous amount of heat for a long time. I have a fairly small torch. It takes forever to heat up for the first dab of a session, but after that, as long as I don't wait more than 5 minutes or so, it heats back up almost as quick as my skillet did. This mass also gives it enough power to fully vape very large hits. Swings and little nails and stuff...you can take nice big dabs, but you've got to overheat the TI so you burn your hit and it tastes bad.
This thing actually tastes a bit more like a swing, which, imo, if you use it correctly is one of the best tasting hits there is. The skillet gives the oil space to spread out instead of just bubbling on top of itself like on the tip of a nail. The Infiniti works like this also. They call the cup a "Kings Moat." This is why I think I'm getting such tasty hits off of it. The oil has plenty of room to move.
On claim...there isn't much. It's interesting. With the other TI I've used, you end up with a bunch of unvaped claim. It's in your bubbler and all pretty and yellow....wtf? It's pretty much completely unvaped oil in there. The claim I've gotten with the Infiniti is dark, like the stuff that's in the glass part of a curve or what gets gummed up around the bottom of a normal nail and dome. I think what happens is the top of the shaft is also hot enough to vaporize oil, so what is normally unvaped gets vaped while traveling through the hot shaft.
I want to talk a bit about how it transfers heat into your glass, but I'm trying to wait until I use it in a serious session. So far, it's just been me, by myself, so I'm not sure how it performs when being used constantly. So far, it getting stuck or anything like that hasn't been an issue at all. I think the fact that it doesn't really claim up helps with that a lot.
