Dead Rabbit RDA - long term review?

[Marzuq]

Oh, sorry I misread - I thought you said it was three coils.

triple core claptons. i think my choice of words was at fault here...

 

[Faheem777]

Googling “rabbit wicking” tutorials one gets a variety of different recommendations,
Coils low,
Coils high,
Coils on outer edge of posts,
Coils in middle of posts and the list is endless

Has anybody actually found the ideal setup yet and can advise

+1 I seem to be getting very inconsistent results. Sometimes exceptionally great flavour and most times muted flavour

thats quite strange. I have been using my dead rabbit exclusively since i got it two weeks ago and the flavor is always in top form. Even when my wicks and coils are a bit dirty...

I am trying to build for a single 18650 squonker so have to take into account battery life
This build seems to be working quiet well
Triple twisted 28g kanthal
Twisted as tight as possible (the tighter you can go the less the spit back with twisted)
7 wraps 2.5mm
0.29 ohms
35 watts
Found what appears to be a good coil position for flavor. I shall continue to tinker but so far this build is not looking to a bad

Your coils look much lower than mines (only top third of coil visible), gonna try that tonight.

Running on the rsq Hotcig and winning so far

@Marzuq DR performing exceptionally better with the coils lower down, thanks!

Excellent. Happy to hear i could help

Got my DR RDA and just threw in a build:


All matchy-matchy with my ThinkVape Finder DNA 250 mod.
I’m very happy so far, the flavour is great and super easy to build on...
One gripe, my build deck is a bit skew but coils are firing correctly though.

 

[Seemo.wm]

Jumped on the bandwagon myself and got the dead rabbit in gold.. Wouldn't mind trading the drip tip for the blue or turquoise, which I would prefer. Absolutely cannot wait to throw a build in it

 

[Rafique]

Decided to try it out as well, so far no leaking but I dont get as much flavour as I would expect. I think my coils need to be closer to the air flow.

 

[Seemo.wm]

It has a more restricted airflow than expected. Still very pleasant, but expected it to be a bit more airy due to the slanted cyclops style airflow hole.

Other than that, a comfortable, warm, saturated vape at 45 watts with a spaced, 3mm, 8 wrap ni80 build

I kinda liked mine on the first attempt but its been sidelined as it falls on the right side of good but on the wrong side of awesome. Replaced with a Hadaly on the Hotcig RSQ

I enjoy the hadaly but the over squonk is a PITA, the DR is really nice. I think I need to get the coil position just right for it to be on the right side of awesome.

So far the fact that it does leak is a big win for me

That is true with regards to the squonking issue which the entheon does address but at the compromise of a bigger chamber and less intense flavor. However, I do the Hadaly with un-thinned wicks and squonk ever so slightly albeit a bit more frequently and I only get residue at the airflow hole occasionally.

I've just picked up a clone. I am 100% RTA all the way but finally gave in to squonking just to try.. Hence the clones. The clone is high quality. My only issue with it is that the cap is not as snug as it should be. Meaning a fairly avrage knock lifts the cap off.

I spent R200 on sale for the clone. My reccomendation would be to avoid this clone. I feel like the cap issue is of QC nature so perhaps I just got unlucky. Never the less. At R200 I'm a happy chappy.

Edit: build quality is not as good as the original. Not a 1-1 by any means.

Hi @CHase moving the coils apart, closer to the airflow , it should give you a more cooler vape. With regard to the spitback it could be the coils themselves or wicking. Try to make sure the wick is fairly tight inside the coil. I personally have had zero spitback on this rda.

Hey, your coils seem a bit high, maybe lower them a bit and move them outwards towards the airflow. Also, your coils look like twisted wire? Notorious for spitting... try non twisted builds. Good luck!

 

[Spyro]

@CHase I strongly believe it's those coils. I'm running them in my OBS nano and It's Popping more than usual and spitting for the first time ever. These coils heat up extremely fast and I've cooked my cotton with them too many times. I think lower the wattage or change the coils to stappled style and what others suggested, move coils to the outside. And then I personally use a 510 driptip to reduce spitback on the rabbit and I prefer the flavour too from a 510.

I don't get spit back from the rabbit but rather a mouthful of juice when I oversquonk.

Yip definitely the coils causing the spit back. I have it a lot with twisted wire


You need alot more

 

[Rude Rudi]

I now have 4 Dead Rabbits... I know I can only use one at a time but there you are...

 

[CHase]

Tx for info guys really appreciate, will try a new build tonight.

 

[87hunter]

Enjoyed reading this.
Was undecided whether to get the rabbit or drop rda.
First time ever I ordered both. See it was dispatched from 3f today.

 

[MoneymanVape]
