Review 40 dives on a "Cheap Chinese donut wing"

[SelfDiver]

I got this: for $124 in July 2024

Did a leak test for 4 hours when I got it. Then did a bubble test in a bucket.
No leaks found

Initial in-water testing on a DiveRite Transpac II for about 15-20 dives with a smaller female.
Stored for 5 months
Then connected to a steel backplate for 20 dives for a 5'9" 200 lbs male
No issues maintaining bouyancy and trim.

Inflator works as intended. Looks compatible with standard gear if you want to swap out anything
Dump valve releases on overpressure and with pull string.
No problem deflating all the way.
Easy for travel, does not "Taco" on the single tank

It did not kill me yet.

Looks good.

That is a good warm up. Forty dives is about one trip. Maybe it will do well over ten years and a thousand dives. I suppose if not you could buy five of them and just change them out every so often preventively. The K inflator and the dongle and OP valve are all the same parts on any wing from anywhere most likely in a globally sourced and interconnected world. Not much to a bag of air anyways.
