So, shinyitus finally got the better of me - see my thread '
RDTAs what is point', resulting in me purchasing the
Oumier Wasp Nano RDTA.
This put me in the unfamiliar and uncomfortable position of being a vaping early adopter - so early I even got it on pre-order and waited a seeming eternity for it to arrive.
Normally I'm way behind the vaping technology curve, picking things up once the have been reviewed, used widely, had their price cut and the next new must-have has long displaced it from popular attention. It has been a good way of sorting the wheat from the chaff and getting my kit at a reasonable price.
This time around I bought partly out of curiosity over the RDTA concept and partly on the back of the gushing reviews of the Wasp Nano RDA dripper. Oh, and also it was quite cheap
,£10 or thereabouts.
Chinese clone price for a new to market original.
Despite the long wait, few 'pro' reviewers have given it the once over.

And Gushing with Vic:
Take yer pick :/
So it falls to me to review it with buyer's bias, rather than 'it came free for review' bias, for posterity.
Here it is, the gold and Ultem version but with the glass tank fitted:
Note that is the smallest the airflow can be closed. Rotating further opens up airflow at the other end of the slot. This turned out to be important for an MTL vaper like me.
Well, it's very dinky, only a 2ml tank. At 22mm it fits nicely on a Pico or even an iStick. I can't say that I am a fan of Ultem - it might look a bit nicer if it were polished.
In the box is a spare set of O-rings, a spare glass tank (both useful) alongside the default Ultem, some funky 0.5 Ohm coil and one of those T-shaped multi-screwdirvers which you can store safely in the same cupboard where you keep your chocolate fireguard.
Very shiny gold effect.
For sure it is not solid gold, not at that price but it may be gold plated - time will tell. As we all know juice + brass = verdigris
The deck is very nicely designed with solid posts with side airflow holes bored through. Coiling is a doddle and trapping the wires not a problem with this design. Wicking is simple too, just prod the ends down through those two giant holes then close down any gaps using the metal bar to prevent leaks.
Filling is done through the wick holes, by opening them up, shoving the nose of your juice bottle down the side of the wick and squirting. room is imited and if you don't have a pointy tip, juice can end up where it isn't supposed to be. This is the main weakness of this RDTA imo, but if you have suitable bottles or a spiky thing it is not a problem.
Disassembly for cleaning, or coiling and wicking is easy. Just unscrew the base of the tank, being careful not to lose any O-rings as they tend to stick to the rim of the glass.
It can be disassembled further, but I haven't needed to do that yet.
Some peeps were intetested in the fill mechanism. As can be seen from the underside, it's just a metal plate with cut-outs to match the wick holes operated by a metal rod spot welded onto it. It's possible that this may break after a lot of use, I suppose.
,£10 or thereabouts.
