Hellvape Fat Rabbit 2 Tank Review

Welcome back folks, today I am taking a look at the successor to something that was a smashing success a little while ago. Hellvape’s Fat Rabbit bridged the gap for those wanting a little extra e-liquid capacity, and diameter to fit on larger devices, whilst still retaining a simpler pre-built coil approach. Since the original was released, there has also been a Fat Rabbit RTA, as well as a Fat Rabbit Solo RTA, both of which were also quite popular.

Let’s check out Hellvape’s Fat Rabbit 2 Tank!

Big thanks goes to Vaporstate, who sent this out for the purposes of review!

General Information

Just like it’s predecessor, the Fat Rabbit 2 is a little wider than your usual tanks, coming in at about 28mm in diameter, presenting a wider and stumpy look. Due to it’s size, it has a 4ml base e-liquid capacity (5ml with the bubble glass), and weighs in at around 72grams.

It’s a pretty little thing, constructed of stainless steel, and pyrex glass, it has nicely chamfered edges at the top and bottom, with celtic adornments running around the top cap, and base of the tank.

As always with Hellvape, the Fat Rabbit 2 is a quality bit of kit, with wonderfully machined parts that fit together well, smooth threading, and well thought out design.

From the top down, you have an 810 drip tip sitting on top of a 1/4 turn bayonet cap which, when removed exposes 3 large fill ports where you’ll fill your e-liquid.

Underneath this you’ll find your first set of airflow controls, yes that’s right, this tank has dual airflow control.
The top airflow ring is convenient for those who prefer to avoid the occasional issue of their bottom airflow seeping. It is not independant of the bottom airflow, instead allows even more air to flow through to the coil when both airflows are open.

The tank glass provided is pyrex, and Hellvape have given us not one, but two different glass tubes, a standard straight tube (4ml), and a bubble tube (5ml) for additional e-liquid capacity.

The bottom airflow, not unlike the top comes in the form of an airflow control ring, but this one is your main airflow. It is more direct than the top airflow, and will as such give you a more robust and less muddled flow of air.
Personally, I much prefer using the top airflow only, it allows a slightly restricted vape, which I find more flavourful, and a little quieter than the direct airflow of the bottom airflow ring. That’s just me though, and I know many of you will likely use the bottom airflow much more than the top.

And finally the base, which houses the coil, consists of a small area to catch any rogue e-liquid, house the main bottom airflow, and the gold plated 510 pin.

Coils

Hellvape have decided to use their P series coils on the Fat Rabbit 2, the very same coils that were used in their successful Hellbeast Tank. They will also work on the Uwell Crown 5 tank too, and vice versa.
These coils are heavy hitters, and can take a tonne of abuse. Fitting them is nothing we haven’t seen before, unscrew the base, push them home, and screw the base back on again. Obviously it goes without saying, to give them a bit of priming with e-liquid before putting them in.

In the box you’ll receive 2 variations:

• P7-02: 0.2ohm KA1 coil (50-60W)
• P7-01: 0.15ohm KA1 coil (60-70W)

To be honest, I don’t notice a lot of difference between the two, since they are both such heavy hitters with very little distance between their recommended wattages, but I do feel as though the 0.15ohm coil can handle the higher wattage better, with a little more longevity.
These are both right up my alley, since I tend to vape at around the 50-60 Watt mark on tanks, your results might vary, specially those of you who prefer an even higher wattage.

Airflow

I haven’t seen a dual airflow tank in a while, so this was a little bit of a treat for me. Even though the two airflows, top and bottom, do not really operate independently, (the top airflow flows into the bottom one), they do both change up the style of airflow depending on which one you are adjusting.

With both of them completely open, you’re going to get quite a wide open airflow, almost no restriction what-so-ever, and in turn, you’ll notice it as a little noisy. The noise lessens as you close down the airflows, further restricting it.
Close the bottom airflow completely, and you’re left with quite a flavourful, and quieter vape.

After a while you’ll see how each airflow offers something a little different, and how you can tune them better to your own preference, but in short.
Bottom airflow = noisier, more lighter and direct.
Top airflow = quieter, a little denser and warmer.

Pros:

• Large great looking tank
• Excellent coils
• Dual airflow adjustment
• 1/4 turn top cap
• Really easy to fill

Cons:

• None

Where to Buy:

You will be able to pick up the Hellvape Fat Rabbit 2 Tank locally from Vaporstate’s online store when they list them. I haven’t seen them listed yet, but keep an eye out they will drop soon!
I’m not quite sure how much they will cost but going on the HellBeast’s price, I’m expecting around the $65 AUD mark.

Conclusion

At first I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the Hellvape Fat Rabbit 2 Tank. After trying it out though I get it. This is another iteration from Hellvape, consistently trying to perfect the quality of vape that they can provide. Each device better than the last, each providing a slightly better vape with more control than the last, all the while, making things easier for the user.

This time around, the focus was on giving the user more options, in the form of the dual airflow. Some might complain that it’s not independent enough, that the top airflow just ends up in the same place as the bottom airflow, but I’m here to tell you, it does in fact make a difference.
Adjusting either of these two airflows affects the vape, not just a little, but significantly, and allows the user to dial in a style of vaping that “they” prefer.
For me, my preference was to close down the bottom adjustment, to give a quieter, more dense vape for example.

From the 1/4 turn top cap to the large e-liquid fill ports, the dual airflow adjustment, and superb hitting coils, the Hellvape Fat Rabbit 2 Tank is a clear winner for me, and it’s fantastic to see all of these things come together to create a great tank that offers wonderful flavour, as well as providing as much user control as possible.

Well done Hellvape.
