The only reason I don't consider this full blown review is because:
1) this was originally intended to just be a post on the ongoing thread of the Ato-miser happening here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rebuildable-atomizer-little-miser-all-us.html
2) I have only had this for a whole day and you will see in my further down that I make note of this when commenting on some issues with the ato-miser.
3) I don't like doing reviews because I feel there are much better people who are capable of doing a review than myself, I still consider myself a newb
So without further ado here is my post that turned into a review, but really is a first impression 
Okay Drew you have really done us "tinkering" folk a true service by selling these Ato-miser kits. I have been using them all day (ordered 2 from you with the special sale you had) to use with my Omega and compare along side my other mods who all have some derivation of an IKV 801 2.0-2.5 atty. Obviously I watched your videos, which were really helpful so I was immediately prepared to build one once I opened it up. Took me about 2 minutes to build me an LR atty. I was shooting for 2.0 and that's what I got on the first try. I couldn't believe how simple these were to make. Of the 4 I built ( 2.0, 2.1., 2.4, 2.4) I only had to use one extra wire due to the thin part breaking off on me. So this is were I try to organize things a little, emphasis on try
Flavor, Vapor, TH, Heat (8) All had the funny taste on the exhale, but I think if I break them in some more or pre-soak the wicks through a little warm water and then dry them out it that may due trick. Anyways lets get to performance. These things can produce some serious vapor. I was vaping high vg juice so I can't really comment on throat hit (it's not on my list favorite things), but I'm sure someone else can. Flavor like I said is somewhat similar to my other attys, but I will reserve my full conclusion until I break in the wicks more. I would say if anyone has tried CE2s and experienced some alteration with taste initially then you won't be too surprised on the exhale when something is off. Maybe the taste will change with the couple reuses of them. Heat with these babies were nice and warm. after the second hit. I actually like the coolness of thef first hit on a cold atty because it still produces tons of vapor. If your looking for vapor production in your attys then these have all you can take. Let's just say with one long draw I could make enough doughnut rings to make krispy kreme jealous. That or fill a room like a disco.
Functionality (9) This is the ato-miser's biggest selling point in my opinion. I have to say I had so much fun building these attys and then testing them. I have had a little trouble getting a higher resistance atty (trying to hit the 3.0 ohm led to two 2.4 attys) made. I think I am doing something wrong because it seemed pretty easy for Drew to make the 5 ohm atty on his video. This is what is great about the ato-miser though is that you can tinker to your hearts content till you get it right, and from my experience getting it right happens more often than not. Learning curve is much shorter than I though it would be and even if an atty shorts you could build one in a matter of minutes. It does not fit on my REOs without an adapter and even so there is not point until there is a bottom feeder version, which hopefully is in the works
Misc My ato-miser kit unfortunately came with the wrong screwdriver for the screws. The one I received was a flat tip and it was too big to even try to use on the head of the screw. Fortunately I have tons of glasses sets so I didn't really worry about it I like the scissor that came with the kit and I'm sure they will come in handy with other applications. I forgot to mention the ato-miser is much smaller than I thought it would be. I actually thought it was the same diameter as my omega but it is quite a bit smaller. Reminds me of Hershey kiss in size
Overall I give the ato-miser an 8.5/10 only because a lot of the reason we vape is to have that flavor along with vapor production. When something alters what were use to it can be a bit disconcerting. However, I will point out again I myself can say that I have not even broken this things in yet. With a couple of rinses and reuses with the same wick this could atty could just cover all my bases. With that said I'm elated that I can build my own atty in 2 minutes and have it perform like a stud. That alone makes it worth the purchase IMO. I don't have a lathe so don't tell me it's really easy to make the part yourself or have someone do it. I'm not pailpoe or raidy y'know
Sorry if I missed anything and any spelling, grammar, and anything else that may have caused you discomfort when reading this. Like I said I never intended for this to be review and even so be this long , but hopefully this gives you some insight to any potential buyers interested in knowing more about the ato-miser.
I rushed to take a picture after deciding i was going to post this on the review forum so sorry if it doesn't do it justice. I was just trying to show whats in the kit and also get a size comparison to what I am currently using
