Rda warming

Hi everyone, 2 days ago I received my Dead Rabbit Pro RDA and a Vandy Vape Pulse V3 squonk mod, and my problem is that after 2-3 puffs, the entire RDA gets very hot, including the drip tip. The 4th puff is already very unpleasant. Could you give me some advice?

(This is my first rebuildable atomizer; I’ve used pods so far. I built the RDA as Tamás Fehér showed in his video, using pre-made coils and cotton wicking in a dual setup with 0.37-ohm wires, which resulted in 0.17-ohm. I’m using it at 60 watts. If I go lower, I perceive the flavor delivery as weak.)

Thanks in advance for your answers.

A picture about coil building might help fix the problem. :saluting_face

Here are a couple of pictures from another video, maybe you can spot the error… + Unscrew both airflows completely

There’s also an internal report about it. :ok_hand:t2:

From @Vaperina_Kinga’s presentation, it turns out that thinner wire is more ideal for use.

I also had this RDA for a short time. I faced the same problem. You need a higher resistance wire or you have to take much larger breaks between vaping.

If neither of those appeal to you, then a single coil RDA remains. Which is also good for the Pulse V3 because you don’t stress it as much.:hugs::blush:

Yes, those coils look huge even in the picture… It would look better

I think the coil might be very close to the airflow slot. This could also be the source of the extreme heat.

@tibor_balogh is right. Bring the coil wraps closer together to 2.5mm. :blush:

Thank you for the help :heart: then I’ll try the 2.5mm wires,

And I recommend getting a DR Solo RDA… In my opinion, in terms of price-value ratio + performance… In terms of consumption, it was released alongside the Pulse V3.. Solo coil build 40-45 watts :heart:

Perfect choice for the DR Solo! :100::fire:

I would push the 2 coils closer together towards the middle hole, because I think it’s close to the shroud. :saluting_face:
Although this is a Geekvape Z, it’s somehow like this, maybe it will be better.:

I chose the Dead Rabbit Pro for its flavor reproduction. Is the Solo as good

I don’t think there’s any problem with the DR Pro RDA, it’s just that you might not have found the right wire and cotton combination for yourself yet. Many people swear by simple wire, but some also like more complex wires. This unfortunately requires time and a small financial investment. Anyone can recommend any wire or cotton if, in the end, you might not like it.

But to answer your question, I think the DR Solo is a very good atomizer IF it has the right wire and cotton in it. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I had a bad experience with the stock coil. I put something else in instead, and from then on, there was no stopping me. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

This is indeed a Hellvape Drop Dead 2 RDA, but this is how I usually position the coil. This way it’s not close to the cap and heats up minimally. Even with a low-profile drip tip, the vapor isn’t hot.

@Zoli76
The Octopuss Orange is promisingly orangey (the peel isn’t noticeable), although the Seawolf Cotton is still breaking in.

On the DR Pro, the bottom airflow comes up from two separate openings, which is why the coils need to be spread apart.

The image shows a metal part, likely the deck of an electronic cigarette RDA, with two wire guide slots marked in red. (Labeled by AI)

A little peel is not a problem, but when it’s only peel and it

Those two coils are very far apart. This way, it’s very close to the RDA wall. That could also be why it gets so hot. Try to bring them closer together so there’s only 1-2 mm between them.
This way, the air can circulate well around both coils.
Raise the coil at least 1-2 mm from the airflow.
