In the battle of the RTA’s, everyone is scrambling to carve out their nitch. As I have said in previous reviews, the trend in RTA sub ohm tanks is high right now. Customers are tired of paying upwards of $7 a piece for coil packs that last maybe three weeks when $7 can get you enough wire and cotton to build a dozen coil sets. The BFT (because those initials don’t scream about the appearance of the tank at all) from Ohmega.co is one of the more sought after ones for price, though when it comes to atomizers – you get what you pay for.
Ohmega.co has been making mods for some time, and offers a decent mod that can be customized for logos even. They have been offering RDA’s for a bit now, and the BFT is their take on a large rebuildable tank. With a Velocity style post set, and a large 25mm size, initial appearance is that this is a solid performer. Once you get in to actually using the RTA your opinion will quickly change.
Even with its larger size, letting you hold roughly 10ml of liquid, the design leaves much to be desired when it comes to usage. The vent holes at the base are large, but have no adjustment option to wide open is all you get unless you get creative and plug off the vents partly. The liquid ports for the base can’t be closed off when you go to refill the tank either, which leaves you fighting liquid trying to equalize to the outside air pressure after being in a vacuum state. This is a top fill tank, so when you try and refill it – the pressure from the seals FORCES liquid through the venting holes as well. Several folks have come up with different solutions in trying to keep from losing several milliliters of liquid every time you fill the tank. Honestly the best approach I have found so far is to actually NOT use the top fill option and instead remove the base each time. It takes a little more effort, but you don’t lose several mills of liquid each time either.
The BFT has the potential to be a great RTA offering. I appreciate the fact that they include an extra glass and hardware. I’m hopeful that a V2 will correct some of the design issues, such as no adjustable airflow and not being able to seal off the flow vents to fill the tank. In its present state though, it’s more problem child than enjoyable vape. To me, that screams waste of time and money – and in the case of the BFT a LOT of juice.
