This product was bought by my own money. My views on this product will remain accurate and unbiased and are my views only, and do not reflect the views of www.planetofthevapes.co.uk
The Octopus RDA is a Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser, it is an atomiser in which you drop liquid onto the wick, and continue to do so as the juice gets used. As with all Dripping Atomisers, you have the ability to change flavours without cleaning out the whole device.
The cap is possibly made from Aluminium, the base is made from a hard metal, possible Stainless Steel. There are two thumb screws for tightening down the coil.
This is a low cost device.
Size Comparison (Igo-L, Octopus RDA, 18350 Battery)
On top of a Vamo (in 18350 Mode)
Note the coil quality:
The unit comes pre build and no drop tip or spares are provided. This one read 2.0 ohms on the Vamo.
The units has an air hole directly under the coil and wick. The air hole is then directed out to the side of the Octopus and another hole is provided in the cap. It does not seem that you need to align the unit and cap air holes and the vape seems consistent.
Due to the length of the wicks, it is difficult to place the top cap without the wick ending up through the drip tip hole, therefore as of right now, I suggest removing the drip tip only and not the top cap when dripping this one. Sadly there is no 'well' in the device, therefore if you drop too much liquid it will go through the air hole.
The supplied coil in my unit seems to be poor quality, the picture above shows how it looks close up.
I dripped some of Grant's Vanilla Custard onto the wick, and waited for it to absorb fully. I cranked the Vamo up to 9.0w and tested the unit.
The draw is a little tighter than I expected but on par with the similar Igo-L and Aga devices, maybe even a little airier.
The vape is smoothe, and consistent.
Flavour is good, maybe a little harsher than normal but I need to play with settings and I suspect a recoil is definitely in order.
The device looks good and feels good. The top cap is not a tight fit, but does remain on the device. The let downs are that there is no 'well' on the device and the coil seems to be poor quality.
Overall, I like this device. Especially as it is cheap, and the air hole below the wick is a great idea.
I wil continue to update this as I use the device over the next couple of weeks.

. I suppose with so much wick stuffed in their the lack of a well may not be such an issue. Be interesting to see how it goes. Like you say, good value if it works.
