There are better RTAs for flavor....... For dual coilers you can't go wrong with the BLAZE RTA for flavor....... There is also the OXVA Arbiter 2 dual coil ...... Those are two just off the top of my head and there are other good ones out there for flavor. It all depends upon what size diameter of a tank you desire..... If memory serves me correctly, (which it may not) the two tanks I just mentioned are 26mm in diameter at the base.
If i dont mind dripping i should stay with rdas than? Rta sacrifices taste for conveince?
My sub ohm tank taste great tho it uses voopoo pnp mesh coils do rta stack up that or worse

With my Gear RTA, and my Gata RTA with the short top cap and full open airflow im getting a flavor close enough to an RDA... !
But yeah isn't the same, and with an RDA is a deferment experience, plus you can change your builds and e-liquids much easier... !
So yeah it depends on your preference, but it's a nice thing to have a few RDAs AND RTAs in your collection and use them once in a while... !
Just my point of view... !

Some people prefer RTA's for flavor over RDA's. My personal opinion is that it is nearly impossible to beat the flavor one gets from a decent RDA. Having said that, I do have some RTA's that rival RDA's for flavor.
Some folks find building on certain RTA's to be finicky. With the majority of RDA's you don't have that issue. As far as building and wicking go, nothing is easier than an RDA.
Another option is to go with squonking. You would get the best of both worlds there. An RDA that delivers flavor and a squonk bottle that gives you 6ml - 10ml of juice. IMO, it's tough to beat a decent squonk setup.
I always have several setups and a mix of RTA's and RDA's going. Some RDA's I use for dripping and the others reside on squonkers.

If you enjoy dripping then stay with it. I would strongly recommend looking at a squonker. As I said in my previous post, a decent squonk setup delivers amazing flavor and it is the best of both worlds.
That all depends on the RTA.
My SvoëMesto Kayfun's, KHW Mods Dvarw's, Squape Arise, Atmizoo Aer or Atmizoo Tripod's all rival the flavor of an RDA. Reason being, each has a rather small RDA-like chamber.
There are RTA's that you can use mesh coils on.
I don't have any. Others here can add their experiences with mesh coils and RTA's.
I can't say any more than @ShowMeTwice and @TARTARA have already mentioned as they are both correct...... In the young days of vaping, RTAs were inferior compared to how they are today when it concerns flavor...... The newer sub ohm tanks with mesh coils are also good for flavor. Some people do not mind spending $$ on stock coil heads but other people want to rebuild their own for only pennies.....
So, since flavorful atomizers can be found in each category, the first thing you have to determine is if you want a rebuildable atty which will last an entire life time or if you want to use a sub ohm tank and purchase coil heads for it until you can no longer purchase coil heads for it.
If you decide to use rebuildable atomizers then you need to understand the slight differences between RTAs and RDAs........ First off, some of the newer RTAs are top airflow and they rarely leak juice because of that fact........ So if you desire an atomizer that is dang near leak proof and has decent flavor, and one that can be laid on it''s side without leaking, then consider getting a top air flow RTA. If that sounds good to you then the only other thing to do is to decide WHICH RTA to consider purchasing.... But beware because NOT all RTAs have good flavor......... I have a couple that have very little flavor!........ The two RTAs I mentioned in the post above have excellent flavor..... There are also higher end tanks that are also excellent but you will spend lots more money on them......
If you decide to go the RDA route, then just know that you will not have a atomizer that is as leak resistant as a top air flow RTA....... In exchange though, you will have an atomizer that is very easy to wick ........ RDAs usually have excellent flavor for a couple of main reasons. They do not have a tank of juice surrounding the chamber and coils and so the coils can be located physically close to the air intake ports...... Also, the coils are usually higher in the chamber and located much closer to the mouth... A properly designed RDA will also have a reduced chamber.....
If you decide to go with the rebuildable RTA route then I will list a few that are known to have excellent flavor....
THC Blaze RTA
Oxva Arbiter 2
Steam Crave Meson (single coiler)
Vaperz Cloud Valkyrie mini (single coiler)
If you desire a flavorful RDA then check these out.....

You can also scan the Review section of this forum and read the reviews of the various atomizers.
You mentioned the Dead Rabbit v3. I've never tried v3, but I have v1 and v2. I have v1 in both RTA and RDA, v2 in the RTA. They are my go to atties. Leaking is not a problem and I personally like their flavor. They are easy to build.
I've got an original dead rabbit RDA. Easy build deck for sure. Bought a dead rabbit RTA too, but honestly, I wasn't much impressed. RTA's can be tricky to get the wicking right but once you get 'er dialed in, they are quite nice. I had a couple Wotofo Bravo RTA's for a while and they were really decent. Definitely had to get the wicking just right or it would leak all over creation. I eventually broke the glass on them and couldn't find a replacement. Didn't bother ordering from China, not something I see myself doing. Then or now. And then, there's the time when I vaped an ant, but that's a different story.
I did a bit of research yesterday on the Dead Rabbit V3 RTA and it is designed lots different from the V1 or V2 tanks of the Dead Rabbit series........ The air is now hitting the coils from all sides and underneath.... They claim it is the Best Dead Rabbit RTA yet for flavor..... I do not have experience with the V3 only what people say about it......
For flavor excellence, I will stick with RDAs........ I also like some of the newer sub ohm mesh tanks for great flavor. The only problem with them is that I am allergic to purchasing coil heads LOL.
RTAs seem to be getting better for flavor with each new design that comes out...... They have came a long way since the old days.
You've got me curious now, about the V3.
You could look into an RDTA. That way you get the best of both worlds. I was looking at the same RTA as you. But I ended up going with a ijoy limitless rdta
Thanks for the info guys ive decided in 2 weeks when I get some money ill grab a v3 rabbit and just practise on it while using my rda/sub ohm tanks once I get good at it ill replace all my atties with rebuildables only,
But I must say yesterday I compared flavor between 2 atties the Wasp VLS (basicly v2 wasp nano) used dual core claptons and my Uforce L tank from voopoo the new one with the new pnp tw/vm mesh coils , they both taste great but the voopoo uforce l tank has slightly better taste just slightly u notice it tho it,
The wasp still great tho ...
But is that because the new coil heads has rly gotton THAT much better?
Mind you the wasp is basiclly the cheapest rda maybe that plays a role too thing was like 20bux lol

The V3 rabbit seems like a good RDA. I was debating on getting either the v3, v2, or the Fat Rabbit. Until I found a really good deal on a ijoy limitless and geekvape tsunami 24. So I ended up getting those instead. I still might pick up a dead rabbit at some point simply because of all the good reviews and because I think they look really cool. If you are not 100% set on a rebuildable there is a dead rabbit that uses drop in coils as well. So that might be something that you could look into. Either way I wish you the best of luck on your building journey. It can be a bit overwhelming when you first start. I am just starting out with them as well so I know what your going through. The ijoy limitless and geekvape tsunami 24 are my first rebuildables.
Well, like I said, I do not own the V3 and have never vaped off of it. But with that said, I have did quite a bit of research on it............
I don't care what type of a rebuildable atomizer a person gets they will always experience the best flavor when airflow hits the bottom of the coil........... The problem with earlier versions of RTAs is that many of them only had side airflow hitting the coil plus they had overly large chambers........
The newer designs like the Dead Rabbit V3, Vandy Vape Kylin mini 2, Blaze, and a few others have figured out a way to have the airflow not only hit the sides of the coils but also underneath the coils.
The Kylin mini has airflow that blasts the coil from all sorts of different directions leading to good flavor............. The new V3 design also has airflow that blasts the coils from underneath and also from the sides which is a way better design than the V1 or V2..........
Keep in mind that when wide open the Dead Rabbit tanks are airy and have tons of airflow. From what I see, the V3 is no different.......... While that may be good for cloud chucking and producing lots of vapor it tends to reduce the intensity of the flavor when operated wide open (depending upon the wattage) ..... Some people like really airy vapes...... The V3 seems to be a good tank.... Give it a whirl and let me know how it vapes
With that said, there are several other newer tanks that are known flavor bangers if flavor is your thing...... If you try to find the Blaze dual coil RTA on element vape it is not listed even though they still sell it. I had to go to the search box on Element vape and type in Blaze and it pops right up. Of course, other sites still sell it as well as other known flavor bangers....
I usually keep the airflow about halfway closed on my rabbit. It certainly is airy wide open. I also "modified " the drip tip. I found it was too short and subbed it with one from a tfv12. Perfect fit and perfect height for me. Gonna take a look at element, it couldn't hurt to get another RDA anyway.Well, like I said, I do not own the V3 and have never vaped off of it.
