Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Joyetech Espion Infinite Mod. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links.
Introduction:
The Joyetech Espion Infinite is the latest mod in the “espion” line of mods from long time manufacturer joyetech. This one however as they say is not like the others. The original was a small compact dual 18650 mod and the solo was a small compact single 2x700 mod. Both with a simple design and nothing flashy. The infinite puts on an LED light show like now other mod on the market. I can see it being the popular choice for raves. It has an infinity glass LED (hence the name) to really accent the lights and put on a lightshow. It’s also a bigger mod since it takes dual 2x700 batteries (21700 or 20700) and the centered 510 allows for 30mm atomizers without overhang. It’s available in 6 colors, Red, Blue, Gold, Green, Black, and Dazzling (Rainbow)

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this Mod, Obviously the thing that stood out the most was the LEDs and the glass on the front. It really is bright and puts on one hell of a light show if that’s your thing. Personally I like LED mods but i know many don’t so it’s probably not going to be for a lot of vapers who want something more basic. The compatibility with the Dual 2x700 batteries is a plus. There aren’t a ton of mods for that on the market currently and it comes with adapters to use 18650 as well. They centered the 510 pin which is nice and finally starting to become a trend in vaping after years of vapers asking for it, so it can handle a 30mm RTA without overhang, however you can’t go bigger due to the buttons being on the top which I don’t like at all and if your 30mm RTA bulges out a little will get in the way of adjustments. Overall though i kinda liked it for the LEDs but if LEDs aren’t your thing, you probably aren’t looking at this mod.
Watt Mode Performance (chart and spreadsheet in picture album)
Let’s get into some data. I ran my normal testing. Testing resistances were done at .12 , .17, .2, and .61 ohms. wattage points were max (230), 200, 150, 100, 75, 50 and 25. At .12 ohms it maxed out at 204 watts and 41 amps. For the rest of the testing it was way low at 100 or more 11-22 watts low but 100 or less 1-8 watts low. At .17 it maxed out at 197 watts. The rest of the tests again it struggled low at 100 or more 16-24 watts low at less than 100 4-12 watts low. For the .2 test it maxed out at 227 watts. For the rest of the testing it was never off by more than 2 watts. For the .61 ohm test due to the built in 9V limit of the chip the most i could set it to was 132.8 watts. At that setting it put out 140 hitting high and 9.257 volts. The rest of the testing it hit high 1-15 watts. The volts shows there is a boost circuit in the mod which is nice.
Overall I felt the performance of this mod was not very good. Under .2 ohms the mod hit really low as much as 24 watts off. It performed really good with the .2 ohm test but was a little high with the .61 ohm test the worst of which was 15 watts off at the 50 watt setting. So not really accurate at all. As far as max specs ratings go, I found it to be pretty accurate, It’s accurately rated at 230 watts since i got 227 with the .2 test so close enough. The 9.257 volt limit shows there is a boost circuit as well and meets and exceeds the spec of the 9V programmed in the chip . They list the amp limit at 50. The most i got was 41 which is slightly above average these days for a dual battery mod and right on par with most of the dual 2x700 mods i tested but i’m not sure if this was the limit since the mod was hitting so weak anyway. Still no issues with the amp limit
Simplified TLDR Power Performance summary
Mod performance is not good. Mostly inaccurate. 10 of 25 test points were 10 watts or more off and as bad as 24 watts low or 15 high. Accurate rating for watts (227), Yes boost circuit. amp limit 41 which is good for a dual battery mod. Volts tested at 9.257 which passes it’s spec.
Temperature Control Performance
Using SS316 wire with the SS mode and TCR mode set at 00092, I tested 6 builds, 1 single round spaced, a dual round spaced, 2 fancy single coil builds and 2 fancy dual coil builds. This is one i can keep short and sweet, while at times i could get a good vape out of it, it’s wildly inconsistent. Rare to get even back to back vapes being the same. I had to fiddle around with the temp settings making changes to try and get a similar puff i just had even as much as 50-60F degrees apart. Overall it’s wildly inconsistent and an easy fail on my part.
