Hello and welcome back. Today I will be taking a look at the Hellvape Dead Rabbit MTL 2 rta that was sent to me by Hellvape in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The V2 is an upgraded version of the original Dead Rabbit MTL rta that I previously reviewed and very much liked. The V2 has an improved postless deck for single coil and can be run in a 2ml or 4ml configuration. It makes use of a ¼ turn lock on the bottom of the rta so it can be disassembled with ease and seal without leakage. The airflow can be fine-tuned with one of the multiple included airflow pins included.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the DR MTL 2 is very familiar with the red and black box. The front has the Hellvape name and logo along with the product name. There is a sticker indicating the color of the tank contained inside the box. The back side of the box has a list of features, contents list, and company information.
Once the outer sleeve is removed and the two part box is opened, the contents of the package can be seen. As is the case with most of the Hellvape tanks that I have tested, there are a lot of accessories included with the MTL 2. Initially what can be seen in the foam insert is the MTL 2 RTA with the 2ml chamber and glass pre-installed. There is also a 4ml longer chamber and glass section included. The tank comes with the 1.2mm airflow pin pre-installed but there are a total of six pins included. The pins included are .8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, and 2.0mm. Also in the top foam insert is a spare delrin drip tip. Underneath the foam insert is the user manual, a single .7 ohm NI80 coil with a single cotton thread, a Philips screwdriver, and spare o rings and seals.
As I do with any tank, the first thing is always to disassemble the tank for cleaning. Hellvape was nice enough to send two samples. I received both gold and blue versions. I had a little trouble initially when I tried to remove the build deck from the base. However, after taking a look at the user manual, I saw that I needed to align the two dots on the deck and base then simply pull the build deck out. I have had trouble removing the deck with other tanks with this type of design but with the MTL 2, I had no trouble removing the deck. Honestly this is not my favorite design but it worked well on this tank.
In the first picture below you can see the two dots that must be aligned to remove the deck. Also you can see in this picture that there is the airflow as you would expect but also this tank has a juice flow control that works in conjunction with the airflow control. Therefore if you close the airflow some, it will also allow less liquid to the coil. However, the main airflow is controlled by the airflow pin but there is a little adjustment available by turning the tank while it is on a mod.
For review purpose, I decided to build one of the tanks with the 2ml chamber and one with the 4ml chamber and glass. I did use the included coil with each tank initially. When I went to install the coil in each, I discovered that one coil was 2mm and one was 2.5mm which I thought was odd. The included cotton thread was a little loose going into the 2.5mm coil but wanted to test them initially with the included parts. I found that the one that was loose was very loud and doing a small amount of spitting. One nice thing about this tank is that you can remove the deck without any leaking so I pulled the wick on that one and used my own wick material which made the vape much smoother.
The build deck is postless and has two large Philips head screws which makes use of the included screwdriver. I like the design on this deck since between the large screw heads and the design of the deck it is very easy to trap the coil legs. It is also easy to trim the legs on this one. There are three holes on either side of the coil. The wick holes are fairly large and there is really no need to comb out the wick tails in my opinion.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I enjoyed testing the Hellvape Dead Rabbit MTL 2 RTA. In my opinion, Hellvape makes some really good tanks at a fair price. The threading on the top cap was smooth and easily removed for filling. There are two fairly large holes which makes filling quick and easy.
It is nice that there is a spare delrin drip tip included and I assume that the idea behind that is to use the shorter delrin tip with the tank in the 4ml set up but I really like the longer tips and used them the entire time on both tanks.
My initial thought with MTL tanks that make use of different sized airflow pins is to use the largest pin available. Because of that I started with both tanks using the 2.0mm pins but quickly found that to be too loose of an airflow despite liking a loose MTL. I switched both out to the 1.5mm pins and found that much better to my liking. I went with the same NET tobacco mix in both and got good flavor and vapor production from them. I felt like the flavor from the tank with the 2ml chamber was slightly improved over the 4ml chamber. After running the included coils for a week or so, I wound my own 2.5mm coil from a simple round wire 316SS and really liked this even better than the included coils. The coil seemed to fire quicker and took less time to heat the liquid.
I had mentioned earlier that there is a liquid flow control built into the tank and I would think that it would be good to close the liquid flow control when filling but I consistently filled the tanks without closing the control and didn’t notice any issues.
I would like to thank Hellvape for sending the Dead Rabbit MTL 2 RTA samples for this review. As always, thanks to the readers for checking out my review. Below is a link to the Hellvape website for your viewing pleasure.
