There are two de Rham complexes in diffeology. The original one is due to Souriau and the other one is the singular de Rham complex defined by a simplicial differential graded algebra. We compare the first de Rham cohomology groups of the two complexes within the Čech--de Rham spectral sequence by making use of the {\it factor map} which connects the two de Rham complexes. As a consequence, it follows that the singular de Rham cohomology algebra of the irrational torus $T_θ$ is isomorphic to the tensor product of the original de Rham cohomology and the exterior algebra generated by a non-trivial flow bundle over $T_θ$.
