Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Here is a beautiful originality at Asmodus with the Zesthia RTA. As usual, this manufacturer offers us a quality product that is also very functional.
Asmodus retains a look that looks like it with the Zesthia and declines this atomizer in different colors. That of my test is in a dark blue metallic which is frankly beautiful. But beyond the appearance, the tray is very interesting with a platform style "hot dog", the word ready to laugh but it is exactly the configuration of the assembly that is perfectly suited to right-handed as left-handed.
The machining of the tray for air circulation has been designed to favor the aromas. We are therefore on an atomizer which favors an average vape, neither too low nor too high. The Zesthia is made for a restricted power range but effective in restoring appreciable flavors.
The airflow is adjustable but the flow of the liquid is not adjustable, as to the diameter of the atomizer, we are on a basis of 24mm for a capacity of 4,5ml.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
The Zesthia is made of stainless steel with a pyrex tank. Although the pace is pleasant, it remains vulnerable to shocks but the thickness of the glass considerably reduces this risk.
Overall, the amount of material is sufficient on all parts that are machined to allow flawless threads. For the joints, they were chosen to ensure a good seal. As for the insulation of the rooms, it is perfectly realized.
Access to the assembly will not require emptying the tank since the upper part is unscrewed to directly access the tray. A tray which, moreover, is elevated to have an effective ventilation system under the resistance with inclined airholes which aim at the center of the device. The assembly is then covered by a bell that reduces the combustion chamber for a very short chimney.
The deck is original since we have four screws for only two legs of resistance. Surprising at first glance but in reality, it allows right-handers as left-handed, when winding turns, not to think about the direction in which they will build. In addition, the studs are completely open to easily pass the resistive and the curved shape of each pole confirms this ease to work.
The four BTR screws are gold plated to ensure excellent resistance retention and provide flawless conductivity, which reduces the voltage drop that occurs between the mod and the heater element.
For airflow, it passes through two openings on the basis of 14 x 1,2mm, which allows good heat dissipation. Depending on the resistance, it will be useful to leave the airholes wide open or to reduce them to the convenience of the vapoteur by a simple rotation and easy to do.
As for the gold-plated pin, it is adjustable via a screw. On the other hand, the flow of the juice is not adjustable.
With Zesthia, we have a good atomizer in every respect.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The functions of Zesthia are quite small since it can only be used for a small power range and with a single resistor. The liquid flow is fixed, so we can not use this atomizer for excessive vapors or with too exotic resistors.
It remains a nice atomizer, made to taste and amplify the flavors using the temperature control or limiting the power to 35W approximately.
Very aerial, it allows direct or indirect inhalation and, with a reduced combustion chamber, this atomizer proves to be a good tasting asset.
The filling of the liquid is done by the top of the atomizer which offers a beautiful opening. Airflow and pin adjust. As for the supply of the capillary, it is of itself at each aspiration by the openings provided on the base of the bell.
The mounting plate offers the single coil with simple pads to control and extremely functional, which greatly facilitates the construction. However, be careful not to use too thin wires, unsuitable for tightening in this type of configuration.
Drip-Tip Features
- Type of attachment of the drip-tip: Owner only
- Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
- Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
- Quality of the present drip-tip: Good
Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip
The proprietary drip-tip is in Delrin, short and thick, it is in 810 format without adapter.
It is a very large drip-tip since its external diameter is 18mm but be careful because the internal opening is reduced considerably in a conical format to leave only an opening of 5mm. Suffice to say that this atomizer is not made for the cloud with this small space but for flavored liquids that only require low heating with moderate powers.
Evaluation of the packaging
- Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
- Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Yes
- Presence of a user manual? Yes
- Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? No
- Does the manual explain ALL features? No
Vapelier's note on packaging: 3 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The square box, black and blue, has a window that suggests the atomizer before opening. This packaging seems sufficient for a rate that is in the mid-range.
The interior is attractive, in a black velvet type foam. The atomizer is well fitted with an additional tank, an Allen key and a bag of accessories well-stocked with numerous seals, as well as four replacement screws and two fused resistors.
I only regret that the notice is only in English.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Regarding the use, it's very simple. The simple coil assembly really makes things easier. In addition, the open studs can place the legs of the resistance to the right or left depending on the direction of turns made, it seems surely harmless but for a left-handed, it's really convenient. The capillary passes instinctively into the spaces provided for it to juice juice through the openings on the bell.
The filling is done by unscrewing the top-cap, the two openings are wide enough to spill nothing. At the same time, it is possible to access the tray when the tank is filled by unscrewing the upper part of the atomizer, so one can change the cotton without difficulty.
Side vape, it is rather restricted by the flow of liquid which remains moderate and not adjustable. So I tried to vape on two different montages. The first one with a 0.4mm stainless steel resistor for a value of 0.7Ω and a power of 32W. The result is superb with perfectly restored flavors.
The second assembly is to be avoided, with an exotic coil, 52W, the capillary dries too quickly, and the dry hits succeed because there is not enough juice to replenish the cotton quickly. It's a shame but, at the same time, the opening of the drip-tip is too much to perfect this kind of coil.
The Zesthia RTA is an atomizer that works well as long as you limit its mounting on coils that do not require more than 35W to be expressed.

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4.8 / 5 
The mood ticket of the reviewer
Overall, the Zesthia RTA is an excellent atomizer that will suit all users even if it offers a rather restricted vape power range. This all stainless steel and pyrex product is in a very affordable price range, with an above average physical and vape quality.
It allows to use direct or indirect inhalation but the cloud is not possible. The positive aspect is that the capacity of the tank is quite sufficient with its 4,5ml.
The volume of the combustion chamber is reduced via a bell and a mini chimney. The airflow and the pin are adjustable and the diameter of the atomizer imposes a mod of 24mm of diameter.
I did not find it to have any particular drawback other than this too limited power range. This atomizer is made for an All day vape for a user who is mainly looking for a pleasure vape with beautiful flavors. It is rare enough at this level to value a Top Ato.
Epicureans will love it.
