Here's what I originally wrote, with some omissions due to Auber reaching back out to me to correct the customer service breakdown.
I don't have experience with other units, but have been researching them extensively. That said, I'm an enail noob and the RDK-200 was my first one.
Regarding the bottom-line of "does the unit achieve its goal out-of-the-box":
Yes. You can do dabs with it. It reaches temp in an acceptable enough time frame. It seems with the flat coil getting above 825-850 might not be too easily done without demanding the unit overshoot substantially in my case. That may or may not matter AT ALL as I really don't see much of anyone trying to dab at that temp in favor of low-temp dabbing, but I specifically didn't get a 710whip (capped at 600F) so that I could reach some upper temp levels and experiment uncapped as my cap sucks. And, in my experience, there was substantial temp drop when using the carb cap. YMMV. I would have tolerated all of that if they had treated me sensibly.
Regarding the 850 temp drop thing, I really should undo my temp coefficient so that we can compare temps correctly. Again, not trying to say the unit is a POS because of this, just stating my units behavior and confirming with others whether or not it is to be expected or indicative of some type of unit or coil failure. If anyone finds any value in my doing so, let me know and I'll try to get the unadjusted temp for you all. Just for clarity sake.
Edit: I haven't undone the coeeficient, but mine was set to 1.22. So, I may very well have been slamming into a substantially higher upper limit than 850. I wouldn't be concerned about top temp.

Nothing against their product, seems solid.
