Sorry, no experiences with it.

Condensator ~ a supplementary carburetor that sucks the sludge out of your engine and pre-cleans your fuel for improved performance, and longer engine life...

It looks like just a filter that sets between the PCV valve and the intake vacuum manifold and mixes a little fresh air with its output to make up for the lack of flow so that the engine runs the same as before.
In other words you would not burn your blow-by anymore but you would have a little more crankcase pressure. Can you say oil leaks.

Just a guess.

looks like it attomizes the fuel better...my question is if it is before the injectors how can it improve ANYTHING, the attomization will be destroyed by the injectors.

I think it was made for engines with carburetors. I see no way it would atomize the fuel better even then. There claim is that with a cleaner combustion chamber and valves you will get a better swirl and then it would atomize the fuel better there and give better performance.
Also they say it will keep the Cats cleaner.

I never did like the idea of the blow-by going back into the engine or exhaust by way of the EGR for that matter.
So if it is cheap and the filters are readily available and won't force the Oil out of the seals then it sounds OK.
