Hello and welcome back for another review. This time I will be taking a look at the Hellvape Dead Rabbit Mini rda that was sent to me by Hellvape in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The Mini has a postless single coil build deck and four MTL style airflow holes. It is a small rda as the name suggests and is only 20mm in diameter but includes a 22mm beauty ring to add to the appearance when using on mods with larger bases. I’m a big fan of single coil rdas so am really looking forward to testing this one. I’m guessing that with the small size that the flavor should be intense.

SPECIFICATIONS:

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Dead Rabbit Mini RDA is much like we’ve seen from Hellvape before. The front is orange and black with the Hellvape logo and name in the top right corner and the device name along the left edge. One thing that is new from the usual packaging is that there is a clear window in the front so you can see the rda without opening the box. Underneath the rda is the RDL designator. The back of the box a list of features, a list of contents and company information. There is also an authenticity code and a bar code with the name of the rda and the color of the tank inside.
Once the box is opened then the Dead Rabbit Mini RDA is visible and has a nice drip tip installed which has the Hellvape name on it. Also visible is the included beauty ring and spare drip tip. It’s nice that the beauty ring is included which takes the 20mm base of the rda up to 22mm and increases the aesthetic of the tank. Once installed it is barely noticeable that it is not part of the rda since the color match is exact. There is also a box above the Mini which includes all of the accessories which include a coil cutting guide, a bottom feed pin, screw driver, allen wrench, a single .45 ohm NI80 coil, a single cotton thread, spare o rings, and spare grub screws. Underneath the box and foam insert is where the user manual is located. I was sent the blue and gunmetal versions for my review.
As always, the first thing I did was disassemble the rda and give it a bath in some hot soapy water to remove any machining oil or debris that might be left on the rda. I also included the beauty ring for no real reason. As you can see in the picture below, the drip tip has double o rings to hold it in place securely.
The bottom of the base has the Dead Rabbit Mini RDA name and the Hellvape name and log etched on it. You can see the hex in the plated 510 pin which comes pre-installed in the base but can be easily switched out with the included 510 squonk pin.
The Mini has a two sets of round airflow holes that are adjusted by turning the outer chamber once installed on a mod. It can go from a tight MTL to a nice RDL type of airflow. I have been preferring it with the airflow fully open while using the included coil.
The build deck is postless and has four grub screws so the single coil can be installed using either set of holes. Each side of the deck has four holes to direct the airflow to the coil. The grub screws have slotted heads and are easily tightened with the included screwdriver. The base has two large o rings to hold the outer chamber securely in place and keep the rda leak free at the base.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
As usual it was a real pleasure testing another rda from Hellvape. The Dead Rabbit Mini RDA is a great little rda for those that want an easy to use single coil rda that runs great under 40 watts without getting overheated.
I used the included coil and screwdriver to set up the rda for testing. I used the included coil cutting guide to trim the coil legs to the recommended 5mm length. Once installed, I pulsed the coil until the coil heated evenly. The included cotton thread is plenty long and you could probably get three or more wicks out of it if used correctly. I trimmed the wick even with the edge of the deck.
I really liked the flavor and vapor production I got from the mini. I was able to run the included coil at 30 watts with the airflow fully open. It was nice to run an rda that I could run at lower watts and extend battery life of the mod. I did install the squonk pin from the beginning and ran it on my Centaurus squonk using the beauty ring. It looked good and performed well. I’m not used to using a 20mm rda so my first time squonking I pushed a little too hard and had some liquid come out of the airflow holes. After that I was gentler when pushing on the squonk bottle and had no further issues. I was kind of surprised that I didn’t see the Dead Rabbit icon anywhere on the rda.
I’d like to thank Hellvape for sending the two Hellvape Dead Rabbit Mini RDAs for my review. As always, a big thanks to the readers for taking the time to read my review. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.
