Hello, I am looking for a bottom fed rda, priority is leak resistance, I don't want to worry about over feeding. Right now I am eyeing 2 the Hellvape Dead Rabbit 24mm rda and the Reload v1.5

I wanna get a Reload cause I have the Reload tank and it's great and I imagine the rda would be great too, only thing is it does not look leak resistant to me. The Dead Rabbit on the other hand has airflow pretty high up so must be more leak resistant and i hear good things.

Bottom airflow and squonking is seldom a good combination.
I can't comment on the dead rabbit yet, because it's still in transit, but the Drop, Bonza and Pulse RDAs get quite some love here for squonking.
The Apocalypse Gen2 and Goon might be an option as well.

Definitely agree on the Drop, Apocalypse and Goon.

Pulse 22 :) The way the air flow tubes are positioned make it hard to over squonk/ leak out the air holes.
The distance from the coil to the DT makes it good for No Spit back. The 810 makes it easier to look inside. It is designed for a single coil! So if it's duals your looking for, look else wear :)

I currently use the pulse 24. Just wanted to try something different. Went to the vape shop to see what they had and ended up with a Dead Rabbit.... maybe I should have listen cause the Pulse seems better.

Imo the pulse 24 looks like the tubes are too short? What really drew me to the Pulse 22 was how close the tubes are to the coil :)

@Steamer861 how about the Pulse 22 and air adjust-ability? Do you run it fully open?

Seems like you can't really do a 50/50 on the air holes, IDK but am interested in hearing real world usage comments.

-Off to look for the Pulse 22 thread
ETA - Found it RDA - Pulse BF atty from Vandy Vape

I do not run it wide open, I use one full hole open on each side, not both.

Of those mentioned I have 1 Pulse 22, 1 Drop and 7 Goon's.

You'd have to work at it to get a Pulse 22 to leak. Got stellar flavor with a big S316L coil and RxW wicking. But I'm mostly not a fan of single coil builds, so mine saw little use.

The Drop can hold a lot of joose before it would leak, and has a versatile AFC system. But in the end I have way too many other BF RDA's I like better.

Having 7 Goon's ought to be a clue to which of these three I like the best. Having 6 Kryten's might be another, or 8 Nuppin', or....

My current favorites are not for everyone though (they can easily be fire breathing dragons if not built right and used right)... 5 Digiflavor Mesh Pro RDA's (also have 3 Vandy Vape Mesh RDA's). For now anyway all the Goon's, Krytens, etc and their mods are sitting idle.

The Bonza makes for a fantastic BF RDA. Huge well, easy to build creatively, and nice air flow. Currently available for less than 22USD. Dead Rabbit is a good BF, though the airflow is a bit restricted.
Garbage and garbage. Don't wast your money.

I see your recommendations, the Drop, Apocolypse and Goon. I have all three. I much prefer the Bonza for BF’ing. Actually, I prefer the Dead Rabbit to all of your recommendations for BF.

I’ve noticed you have a propensity to blast threads with unsubstantiated and opinionated hatespam, for the Dead Rabbit in particular. So that’s your thing? Talk trash about the opinions of others without substantiating your own claims? Noted.

Because you like garbage doesn't mean you should be recommding junk to others. I don't have to substantiate that the Dead Rabbit is garbage. It's very self explanatory. I've already explained in other threads why it and the Bonza are not worth wasting money on. If you can't comprehend english it's not my fault. If you don't like my post you can put me on ignore. I will be ignoring you.

So you have obtained a Bonza RDA in spite of your professed hatred of Bogan and all things VandyVape? That must have been a bitter pill to swallow. Or maybe you have no real experience with it and are just professing one more unsubstantiated opinion based on a personal bias?

Additionally, I find it ironic that you criticize my English comprehension while simultaneously struggling with spelling the word “waste”.

Happy Vaping!
