Hi Folks,
After the hugely successful launch of the Profile RDA in collaboration with Mr.JustRight1, Wotofo commissioned the help of Brian (aka The Vapor Chronicles, or TVC) to help bridge the design gap between RDA (Rebuildable dripper) and RTA (Rebuildable Tank), this joint collaboration between the pair led to the name “Unity”.
Rebuildable mesh tanks aren’t a new thing, however outside of ready-made coils; until the Profile RDA came about I wasn’t really sold on mesh at all. To this day I’m still on the fence, don’t get me wrong I found the Profile a decent vape, so long as I tamed that wicking and kept the cotton moist, what I did like though was how well it worked with single battery mods and lower wattages, blisteringly quick ramp up speed is something mesh majors on, and it was in this that Mr.JustRights idea to keep the cotton firmly pressed against the mesh was ripe for a winning design combination, and as long as it’s kept saturated helped it to deliver an impressive end product.
So let’s see how they both got on with the RTA version which Wotofo kindly sent me for the once over…. As always I don’t like to make recommendations in my reviews, instead ill present you with my findings should you be interested in the product.

RTA Specifications
Impressions, Build Quality & Assembly
First up is the drip tip, it’s a standard 810 fitting, and rather large in diameter at 18mm. To some this might be a turn off, however they made it so the central bore is more akin to a standard 510 wide bore tip (bore is 5.9mm up to 8.4mm at its widest point). I think it complements the RTA really well and have really enjoyed using it, having said that it’s easy enough to swap out for an 810 if you don’t like it. It’s worth noting either way the Unity doesn’t come with a 510 adaptor, which is unusual for Wotofo considering how many spares they always include.
Fit and finish wise there’s a few different areas to note here. I’ll start with the paint job; I have the black variant, and whilst the majority of the tank is finished well, the top cap needs some QC attention, the anodised process wasn’t completed on the very edges, it also looks as though the drip tip has somehow removed some of the paint in places. Normally I prefer black atomisers, but for this particular tank; if I were to pick a colour myself I’d probably go for the stainless steel, I also really like the font of the logo on the front which stands out more on the stainless steel variant.
Second area is disassembly, I had a really tricky time breaking the tank down for the first time, the tank section in particular, which needs to come off to fit the extension piece is done up stupidly tight…I had to used my ceramic tweezers which double as a gripping aid. Thankfully there is a tiny little ledge just above the glass you can grip (avoid grabbing the glass itself though as it will crack if yours is gorilla tightened as well).
Third was undoing the positive screw under the base…the deck does not come out of the base, it actually spins if you try to loosen the screw, you need to keep the chamber on in order to remove it, try to do all of this without it in place and you’ll find the screw holding the ceramic press in place turns as well. To be honest it’s not really necessary to take it all apart as the tank was clean underneath those areas…should you want to though; know that I nearly sheared the head of the screw trying to get the bugger apart.
Next I found the threading a little scratchy to begin with on the chamber section, however it does break in after use.
Other than that though its plain sailing for the rest of it, I think they have done a cracking job of the actual design overall. The top cap is a bayonet style, and screws in and out with ease, there’s ample knurling to grab onto, the airflow control ring turns with a nice amount of resistance, the deck is exactly the same as the profile RDA with the addition of wicking wells (I’ll get onto wicking later)...and finally the airflow being side on keeps in line with the style of the RDA before it. Even the post screws have deeper recesses than I’ve seen before from the Wotofo camp, catching nice on the provided screwdriver.
They have made the chamber walls really thick so everything is encapsulated nice and snug, there is a steep dome inside which reduces inside up in contrast to the profile RDA, this translates to a better experience in my opinion, and to be honest design wise I can’t think of much I would want to change on this tank, it’s pretty spot on in my opinion. Ok there is maybe one thing and that’s the juice refill ports are a little too narrow, using gorilla bottle tips does take some positioning in order to avoid spilling over the centre area, but once you get the lean technique down it’s not too bad. Twist top refill nozzles though you’ll need to stream it from above unfortunately
