Silence of the (dead) R-Rabbits.

You got nothing to loose.

Pop off to Dischem and get yourself these cotton pads.
Cut 2 strips to same size as dead rabbit strips.
Place together and wick (don't peel off outer edges, use as is)

Right now I have absolutely no leaks using these on 70/30 juice.
Even let it stand for 2 days and no leaks.
It might just work with the 50/50.

Thanks Doug ... I'll certainly give it a shot, as I can't fault their "soft organic balls" in mesh or coils, MTL and DTL.
 
Leaving the design and looks aside, not only the Rabbit R came with innovation but the execution is as perfect in my opinion… the lack of variety of compatible coils may be a con but honestly the .2 coils are so consistent and offer such an awesome vaping experience that I doubt I’m going to try anything else. I actually stocked up on coils from vaperite and I’ll most likely get another tank. It’s hands down the best tank I bought this year.

To add to that when testing I found the supplied mesh quite versatile with different wattages as long as the set wattage was matched to a degree with the airflow setting and I am pretty sure different resistant meshes will come out soon, as this would turn the R into an even bigger seller!
 
When something comes along and challenges the status quo, humans first reaction is to discount whatever threatens their status quo, (further reading see ego)

There are two tanks that I'm literally blown away by ... the Rabbit R and the Riftcore Duo, neither of which stands out in the marketplace :eek:

The Riftcore apparently? :rolleyes: poisons you with it's ceramic pads, (that's according to Jai Haze, who successfully ruined any success it might have enjoyed, by publicly claiming that Ceramic Pads poison vapers :rolleyes:). I've subsequently disproved this untruth, by having them analysed in the Wits Chem Eng Lab, to which Stainless and Ni80 coils do in fact release poisonous oxides! ... and yet the ceramic, (aka GLASS), pads release nothing! ... Nice going Jai :wondering:

I never take anything he says serious and avoid his videos like covid. He's irritating and a drama queen. He makes mountains out of molehills and half the time he has no idea what he's talking about.
 
It does have plenty flavour, but I still gravitate back to my single coil RTA/bridges. It is a real flavour machine with milkshakes, especially my favorite lime milkshake.
 
Hellvape did themselves a disservice by not marketing the Dead Rabbit R as an RTA. On their website, they include it under the subheading "Tank" alongside the Fat Rabbit Subohm Tank.

If they had marketed it as a new vertical mesh coil RTA they would have had much more interest from RTA users.

On the other hand (insert Naas Botha impersonation here), perhaps Hellvape saw an opportunity to convert Subohm users to rebuildable coils.
 
Even being shallow isn't it a good looking atomizer to boot, although performance is much more important looks still is important to many!

As I've said many times, looks are way down on my priority list. In my somewhat irrelevant opinion, the Dead Rabbit R is OK looking. It is definitely inoffensive. It is better looking than many popular tanks.

Strangely DJLsb Vapes said that the looks were the only negative factor about the RTA. He tempered his opinion by saying that the looks had grown on him. Overall he rated it as by far the best rebuildable mesh atomiser on the market and gave it an A+.
 
A quick update on the wicking and leaking with 50/50 juice ...
The Dischem pads @DougP suggested in this thread are the bomb! :campeon:

No foil required, and they wick perfectly, with no leaks on the overnight / two day test ... I would say considerably better than the Hellvape Rabbit R, the Wotofo SMRT and Japanese Cotton wrt 50/50 juice, and bonus ... they're $%&* load cheaper to boot!

Glad they work....
I have not had any leaks using these pads, on filling and also on the 2 day standing test

Rebuilt both tanks now, the SS and Matte Black. The one I just burnt the coil clean and re-wicked using one of the supplied wicks. The other I cut a single piece of Coil Master organic cotton to size and used that in stead. Both tanks performing admirably with no issues at all.

Dry firing the coils got the to shine like new again, should be able to get a considerable number of used out of a single coil.

Next time I will use a Wotofo PnP mesh and see how that goes.

What sort of wattage can you push with the 0.2 coil? I find mesh usually produces excellent flavour but the vape is too cool for my liking.

Hellvape recommend 40 to 50Watts, which should be warm enough for most ;)

Running mine at 50W. Does sixty with ease but the vape is a bit to warm for my liking.
