When it comes to enjoying concentrates on the go, having the right portable electric dab rig can make all the difference.

The Lookah Octopus is one of the newest portable e-rigs to land on doorstep and with it comes an alluring price tag, coming in under $60 and making this device one of the cheapest of its kind on the market.

But is it any good? Does it work the way we hope, or is it just another fun toy to add to the collection?

For this review of the Lookah Octopus, we will discuss its pros and cons.

What is Lookah Octopus?

Lookah is one of the premier electric dab rig brands in the industry. The China-based company has grown in notoriety for delivering highly advanced vaping technology with original design at accessible price points.

As a fun little invention by the Lookah team, the Octopus E-rig is a compact, powerful and budget-friendly device that combines elements of a wax pen with water filtration.

It features a 600mAh battery, 910 quartz cup atomizer, 4 preset temperature settings and water filtration, making it a simple and portable option for casual users.

What's in the Box?

It comes neatly packaged in a shiny box (ooh, shiny) with all of the parts packaged.

The package includes a Lookah Octopus vaporizer, two 910 quartz cup atomizers (One is already pre-installed), a metal dab tool, a silicone anti-spill plug (mouthpiece cover), and a user manual.

Ultra-Portability

Compact at 100.45 x 49.5 x 27.04 mm and weighing just 8oz, it's the smallest E-Rig currently on the market.

The design and mechanics of the Lookah Octopus are similar to the well-known Lookah Dragon Egg, but it's made much more portable and easy to carry on the palm of your hand.

Plus, The flatter shape to it might make it slide in a pocket easier and better to travel with or share with friends.

For me, Its portability really stood out—this electric dab rig is easy to carry around, and I love that it doesn't take up much space.

Build Quality

The Lookah Octopus e-rig is made up of two parts: the base (battery+ atomizer) and the Bubbler.

The Upper bubbler is made from Acrylic material, while the lower base is made from PC (Polycarbonate) + ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).

Though its plastic build materials may not match those of higher-end models, This is alright for budget electric dab rigs.

On the other hand, Many other high-end e-rigs features a glass bubbler, But the fragility of glass limits their portability. Lookah Octopus eliminates this concern.

The plastic construction makes it super lightweight, and nearly indestructible, which undoubtedly increases its portability.

Sleek Octopus-Inspired Design

Compact and sleek, this innovative device showcases a distinctive octopus-inspired design that captivates the eye, making every session a visual delight.

In addition, Available in 9 playful colors include red, black, blue, green, neon green, gray, orange, pink, and purple, the Lookah Octopus lets you express your personal style.

Experience Lookah's dedication to design, and innovation with every use!

Bubbler for Water Filtration

The Lookah Octopus has a built-in water filtration system with a magnetic plastic water chamber and that can be removed and refilled from the top.

The bubbler features a A-shaped percolator, delivering water-cooled filtration for smooth draws. This is a big advantage for dry wax dab pens.

The small plastic water chamber cannot hold much water (up to 30ml) before it will begin to splash up into the mouthpiece, but it is an effective water filter nonetheless.

The water can be kept inside the chamber while the unit is being transported thanks to the silicone rubber mouthpiece cover (shaped like a cannabis leaf). Very considerate design!

When in position the silicone mouthpiece cover seals the water filtration pathway to prevent any water from leaking out if the unit gets overturned in transit.

The base is also waterproof because of the fully sealed silicone ring, which is a good addition.

910 Quartz Cup Atomizer

Don't let the low price deceive you, for this e-rig is a formidable contender.

Equipped with a coil-less910 quartz cup atomizer, the Lookah Octopus delivers consistent, solid vapor production and pure flavor with a fast 8-second heat-up time.

As the name suggests, The atomizer is made from high-quality quartz material in a bucket style, No exposed metal coils, ensuring even, efficient heating, durability and longevity.

Compared to traditional lookah 710 quartz cup atomizers, Its temperature control is more precise, bringing the ultimate taste.

Additionally, This quartz atomizer has a large surface area with 360-degree airflow, resulting in more vapor as you inhale, therefore delivering massive rips all us cloud chasers are looking for.

The vapor was smooth and flavorful, so I think I’m getting an elevated flavor experience.

Three Precise Temp Settings

With three precise temperature settings from 464°F to 572°F, activated by a double-button click, this e-rig allows you to customize your dabbing experiences based on your concentrates, from cold start dabs to high-temp flavorful clouds.

Low Temp (464°F): Ideal for preserving terpenes and experiencing flavorful, aromatic vapor.

Medium Temp (518°F): Balances flavor and potency, offering a well-rounded vaping experience.

High Temp (572°F): Maximizes cannabinoid extraction for a more intense and potent high.

Whether you prefer a light dab or a heavy hit, the Lookah Octopus eRig gives you the perfect temperature for maximum flavor and potency.

I’ve been experimenting with the adjustable voltage settings, which allow for a nice range of vapor density. I found that the lowest temperature setting is more than adequate to produce big hits. I suggest you to start low and go slow, especially for beginner consumers.

15s Pre-heat Function

The Lookah Octopus e-rig also comes with an auto preheat featuren, which heats your 710 quartz cup atomizer for up to 15 seconds at a lower voltage in preparation for your session.

This minimizes clogs and ensures that every draw is consistent. By using this function, you also enhance the flavor of your wax vaporizer, as it gently releases the aromatic components of the concentrates.

Dual Use Modes

The dual-use mode operation system (on-demand and session mode) is a massive bonus, making it really easy to enjoy your dab hits on your terms, whether you prefer one hit at a time or a few hits per session.

In particular, Automatic or session mode gives you a hands-free way to enjoy dabbing, to make the process incredibly convenient. It also preserves your battery life, which always comes in handy.

600mAh Battery and USB-C Charging

This e-rig's 600mAh battery may seem modest on paper, but it' suitable for a few 9-10 sessions per charge.

For me, It provides approximately 40–50 puffs, which is pretty remarkable considering its 600mAh capacity.

The USB Type-C charging port made recharging quick and painless, reducing downtime, so I was back to vaping in no time.

Ease of Use and Clean

The power button is intuitive, and the LED indicators provide clear feedback on the battery status and voltage setting.

Ideal as a choice for beginners, No learning curve, no clunky interface—just straightforward functionality that supports a truly hassle-free operation.

Maintenance is straightforward with removable bubbler and atomizer components. The 910 quartz cup coil can be easily cleaned with cotton swabs, ensuring a hassle-free routine for your next session.

It even has a distinct built-in metal dab tool! Celebrate the relief of no longer needing to tote around a separate dab tool everywhere you go.

overall, It's a design rooted in user needs, making it an excellent choice for those new to dabbing or looking for a clean, portable setup.

Keeping your Lookah Octopus clean and tidy is important for getting consistent performance and good flavors. Otherwise, Gunked-up coils will quickly start suffering in flavor and vapor production.

For minor resin buildups on quartz bucket coil, you'll be able to heat your chamber a bit to help loosen any grime, and then Clean it using a cotton swab lightly moistened with alcohol.

For heavier buildups on your bucket coil, you'll want to unscrew it from your device and then let it soak for 30 minutes in a small glass of alcohol.

Then gently scrubbed it with a brush, Give a water rinse off. After that, the coil will looks as good as new.

Let all the parts air dry completely before reassembling and using the device.
