Well id like some help with my Ohmega BFT because it leaks liquid even if you half fill it, and when you inhale it spits hot liquid and I have burned my lip and tongue. The asshole who owns the store where I bought it told me that they all do it and it was my fault for the way I had it built and how the cotton was packed. Needless to say he is the owner of the store where I used to shop. A& D Vapors I think they are mainly in NC. Boycott! They don't stand behind their products

Since your post wasn't a "how-to tutorial", I moved it to the General Rebuildable area. You'll get more help this way.
Can you post a pic of the build and wicking? Believe me, someone will ask, it's the best way to help, if there's a visual.

You are so cute! How do I find the topic so I can post photos. Could you please send me a link !

Woo, FDA regulations in action! Sorry you're having issues @BradandBrandi. In all seriousness, that was kind of a douche move by the shop owner, but even if he wanted to he can't show you how to build thanks to the new regulations. But he could have pointed you towards a video tutorial. Check this out.

The shop owner was an ass, based on your description, but didn't lie. How you build for an RTA and how you put in the cotton will cause the issues you had. All RTAs are going to leak when the wicking isn't correct, and any atomizer with a clear path to the coil can shoot hot vapor into your mouth if your build is too hot for the atomizer when it produces the amount of vapor you're looking for.
As dshobe said, the shop owner is no longer allowed to correct it for you or teach you how to correct it, because of new the FDA regulations. Watching tutorials on Youtube is probably the best way to get started with RTAs. I watched at least 2-3 before building on an RDA, and did about 5 RDA builds at least before attempting to build on a RTA. My first RTA build leaked at first, but the wicks expanded or ?????? and it settled down and was a great vape until I had to rewick.
The thing about rebuildables is the customization, but that's also the challenge. After only a couple of months of using them, I have a much better idea of what I need to do to wick an RTA (Coil size determines wick thickness which needs to match wick hole size, etc), I can tailor a build for a type of RTA, or for a mod (RDTAs work very differently compared to RTAs, and a DNA75 loves a build over .5 ohm to run lower watts for longer battery and less low-bat errors) There are so many factors! They are definitely a 'do the work, get the reward' endeavor. Stick with it, it's worth it.

People whose videos I've watched that are full of the little tricks and tips that are so important with rebuildables would be 'DJLsB Vapes', GrimmGreen, and Squid Dude. Many if not most of the rebuildable reviews will include a build of the atomizer. See if there are any reviews on Youtube specifically for your Ohmega BFT. That's a great way to see directly how someone else built it.
Thank you all so much for the advice. Yes he could have pointed me toward the tutorials but he is a douche bag. He went into the business with a partner and opened a large vapor manufacturing operation and 5 stores. Nobody could get along with him so the company split the nice guy kept the manufacturing and web site and the douche owns the stores now. They make my husbands favorite juice but from now own we will mail order the juice and buy equipment elsewhere. I always buy online myself because you can save so much money, but my husband goes to the shops and doesn't care about the difference in price AARGH!!!
