The Octopus RDA
Follow the link above for a picture. You can also google it.

The Smoktech Octopus rda is a rebuildable atomizer that comes with a horizonal coil around 8 2 inch (about) silica wicks. Thus the name octopus. I have had one of these for several months now. It is not a bad rda assuming a few modifications. First, you should drill the airhole as the draw is tight. Second, I found that 8 wicks were a bit much to try to use effectively as they did not wick terribly well and you would flood the chamber very easily.

At this moment, I'm still playing with setups for the coil and wick. There are some Youtube videos where MCVapes does a vertical wick. I tried that but I did not get the coil firing correctly and due to the placement of the airhole the wick blocked the air. It looks like MCVapes drilled a hole in the top and perhaps filled in the hole at the bottom. I have been using cotton haphazardly placed in the chamber. I wicks fine, but I must drip often.

Pros - cheap, easy to modify, easy to install coils
Cons - messing due to airhole placement, no clear manner in which to wick
