SMOK Infinix Review: A Refillable Phix Clone?

Product intro

The Infinix has a 250 mAh battery and an automatic MTL draw, and it comes in a kit containing two 2 mL refillable pods along with a needle-tip 15 mL refill bottle. Looking at the Infinix, it's easy to think you're seeing MLV's pod vape (especially the gun metal color), but there are differences that make them distinct from each other — though fans of the Phix may have a hard time getting past the obvious.

SMOK Infinix review

There are three main differences between the two devices: the draw is a tad loser with the Infinix, the Infinix does not use ceramic coils, and the Infinix is refillable. The draw and the ceramic coils (along with the proprietary nic salt juice) are what makes the Phix vape the way it does.

Refillable Infinix pods

Monitoring your juice level is easy with these pods; they have an eye-shaped window that's on the front and back. And refilling is easy too. You can use the included needle-tip bottle or a unicorn bottle, but using a regular dropper may be messy. The refill plug is on the side of the pod under mouthpiece, and the fill plug is anchored to the pod so there's little fear of losing them (unlike on the Rofvape Warlock Peas).

Performance

I've used 50/50 juice up to 70/30 with pretty much equal performance. No hot pops, gurgling, after-sizzle (like in the Kado Stealth), and the pods have been free from dry hits after several (over seven) refills each.

The Infinix pods use regular cotton wicks that are cut outside of the chimney. So far, this thing has wicked like a champ. The wicking seems quite efficient — I've taken the pods down to practically a dry wick before I could taste it. But I've gotten occasional juice in the mouth and a little leaking. Although it's just been a little bit, the leaking has led to some recent issues with the battery.
