Tried a single coil build. It’s OK, but not as enjoyable as a duel build.

Dead Rabbit RDA by Heathen and Hellvape - a review
- Thread starter Waine
- Start date
So I am looking for my first RDA and are currently looking at the Dead Rabbit. Like the idea of the added squonk pin should I need it at a later stage.
Anyone has experience with this RDA?
Good or Bad for a first time RDA buyer?

So got my DR today from @Throat Punch and so far pretty impressed with this RDA.
Stuck a dual coil at first and flavour was great (need to tinker a bit more and get a decent coil for her)
But my main use for her wanted to be in a single coil configuration.
So stuck a kanthal Clapton coil (cant rember the guage) but 3mm i.d 7 wraps reading 0.66 ohms at 35W and airflow closed halfway.
Its awesome. Im getting really good flavour but i wanna try some nichrome and SS in her to see the diffrence.
Im loving this RDA because it really is a multi purpose RDA.
Oh yes and the easiest RDA i have ever built on.
If you cant build on this RDA then you have a problem

You wont be disappointed.
The flavour im getting out of this thing with a single coil is insane.
It is not a smooth vape like a hadaly produces but flavour is up there with the big guns.
Im definetly not disappointed with this RDA. Defiantly great value for money.
@Throat Punch im eyeing out that Red one (but its sold out) so maybe a full black one
Can't wait to throw a build into it tomorrow. Will keep you updatedYou wont be disappointed.

So my first build and can't say it was succesfull or so I think. Build a dual coil claptop at 0.4 ohms and wicked it but it is so "open airflow" that I actually cough when taking a drag. And not much vapor and flavour either. Any tips would be appreciated

A clear photo of your build would help a lot in diagnosing the issue.
Calling on @Waine and all those that have a Dead Rabbit in here.
Last night I opened my newly acquired Dead Rabbit and dropped a dual coil 2x28gSS\34gNi80 5 wrap build in there wicked with Prime Wicks.
And I was not impressed at all.
Watched a few review videos and decided to try play around with coil placement. I lowered the coils and moved them out towards the wall of the RDA (like how DJLsb vapes did) and still not getting the crazy flavour that everyone talking about.
I tried moving the coils so their centered over the posts and same result, the flavour is mediocre at best.
Although I did notice with the coils centered there was less throat hit. Coils close to the walls also introduced a little spit back.
Same wire, same build, same prime wicks, same juice in the Goon 1.5 produces much better flavour.
My request is for some pics of your builds so I can compare coil height etc. I really want to get the flavour on this RDA where it should be. Thanks in advance.

Build looks good. Might be a bit to much cotton not sure don't own a dead rabbit.
What wattage are you vaping at?
Did you dry burn the coils and check for hotspots?
Do you have some other specs on those coils tipe of wire used gauge of internal wire and external wire.
I find that with normal claptons its a uphill battle against ramp up and when the coils are nice and hot its time to drip again and this battle starts over.
Fused claptons are a different story they ramp up quick.
Do you have any other wire?

Your coils are sitting too low brother. They need to sit basically in line with airflow, well slightly higher actually so airflow goes under your coil.
Check my pic and see where airflow is catching. Excuse the cotton been vaping desert profiles.
Great stuff give a 8 wrap ni80 24g coil ago produces nice flavour in all my other rdas exept one.
Awsome my fisrt rda experience I tried to mtl the thing resulted in alot of coughing.
The position of the coils might reduce the airflow abit.
