What I did on most of my atomizers was to take the screw out and pull the T out the top and slide out the insultor from the top nd then take out bottom
insulator and cut Dremmel a slot on the insulators and then reassemble and line up the 2 lots so as to feed the ejuice.
But I had to select where the ejuice comes out with one slot I chose between the posi--and negative base poles.
But you can also slot the pin on both sides with a dremmel. I did this on one dripper.
Make your slots on the ends of the screw slot.
Mine worked good both ways but --------------Proceed At Your Own Risk and study other threads on this process before you begin.
ESPECIALLY if your dripper/atomizer is authentic and EXPENSIVE !!!!

This is my Stillire pin slot for BF--------slotted both sides and then slotted from hole to hole-
I modded my Plume Veil for bf and that has a T in the deck----like yours-----slotted the insulator
Sweet thanks 
been wanting to make it bf for a while but wasn't sure how to go about doing it. I'm not to worried bout with if it goes bad, I mean it's authentic but was only $25 and has definitely gotten it's money's worth of use.

That's what I spent on my drippers but they are all clones about 25.00.
My bottom insulator is of course really small and so to cut a slot is almost impossible with out cutting it all the way through.
So I cut the bottom insulator with my small wire cutters on one side and it removes just enough material to work.
You don't need much od a hole for the juice to get there. I just snipped through the bottom insulator and when you reinstall it you can barely see
a hole.
Worked good 4 me.-----------------------------------------------GOOD LUCK !!!!

got a bit more done on my dna200 bottomfeeder, figured I'll put a few more progress shots. my original goal was to try and make a dna200 bottom feeder and make it smaller than a dibi 
ok, so not quite smaller than a dibi, but not much larger I guess it's actually shorter and narrower than a dibi but it's thicker
the inner aluminum divider started out as a solid block of 1"x2" 6061 T6 aluminum and a lot of milling, but still needs some more machine work...

also, while I'm here, just want to tell you guys about an awesome atty that I just picked up. it's called the Aeolus V2 Pro. what makes this thing sick for me is a few things, it's only $70, made in the usa ( I think) and the main chamber is threaded to the deck meaning a rock solid, swing the mod around from the atty type deal. the airflow is really nice, smoothest draw I've ever had. the airflow is cool in this thing, comes down from the top on both sides, and the best thing I love about it? with a shortened center post it can take a center mounted coil, so the airflow scoops up from underneath the coil like a bottom air atty, yet because it's top air it's impossible to leak or oversquonk. I give this thing a nice long hard squonk and it fills the chamber guaranteeing full saturation, then it all just sucks back down... the vape and flavor off of this thing is just great, right up there with the best of the best nuppins and chalice's... just figured I'd mention it here for all you other bottomfeed dudes
Is that Aeolus atty modded by Catfish or yourself or does it come in a BF version Turbo?
Nice work with the DNA200 T, wonder how much vape time you'll get with those LiPo's. They certainly are the perfect size for mods I must say.

I did it myself. haven't seen catfish do this atty but he does so many I might have missed it, his thread is impossible to fully keep up with
the center pin has a square shoulder at the base so it can't spin but it also has a round extended extension below that that seats all the way into the square insulator.I had to chuck the pin in the lathe and cut the round recess to higher up on the pin then cut an equal part of the round extension off, shortening the center pin by I'm guessing around 2mm or so... doesn't change anything about the atty, can still build conventional duals but also allows enough room for the over the center coil.
the 3 600mah batteries give about as much life as the 1,900 mah batteries we were using over a year ago. there are a few other options for batteries that have a little more capacity but take a little more space too. evolve now did a 2 cell firmware option too, so options are really opening up. for example if you used 4 of these same gum stick cells and made a 2s2p pack it would give the power density equal to a 2,400mah 18650

Catfish refuses to modify the Aeolus because of the brass pin. He is picky that way.
Love your DNA200 bottom fed design. I am just thinking of tucking all the pieces into a Hammond 1590b box. It would be big and ugly but functional, long battery life and very easy to build. Bu it would be so ugly. Yours is beautiful. Keep up with the inspiring work.

big props to tom for setting a standard and sticking to it, I can def see his stance on the brass and honestly can't say I disagree with him at all. totally respect his opinion on it, the brass is my least favorite part, but personally I'm not so against it that I refuse to vape it. I always soak anything brass with 2 parts vinegar/1 part hydrogen peroxide for 5 min or so to remove surface lead because otherwise I think I can actually taste the brass. after soaking I don't really taste it. personally I think I get more turned off from really cheap SS hardware that turns black than I do from well cleaned and pickled brass. now copper and aluminum and stuff I wouldn't touch at all in my vape but pickled brass I can tolerate.
truth is personally I like this atty enough that I plan to mod it even further and build a whole new deck for it eventually. I want to build a 2 post deck and shorten the cap down towards derringer/stumpy type short... the brass is my least favorite part, but the top airflow and screw on cap for me are so good that I'm living with the brass for now. for me, this atty with a 2 post SS deck and shortened cap would be absolute killer.
I never played with any of the hammond boxes. are you talking about the one that's around the size of a hana mod or the larger one?

I picked up some BF RDA Replacement Contacts from FatDaddy. They are 2.5mm and fit most RDAs. I used them to replace the copper center pin on my Zephyr Buddha clone.

Great work on the DNA 200 Turbo, looking sweet at is your usual style. what are you going to do with 200w though?
I ordered parts to finish this
Will be a simple fet box with a 6ml bottle.
I will likely scratch up the paint trying to drill out the 510 and switch, brain fade ordering prepainted
in transit are the fet, resistor, and fd v4's

Here is my latest BF mod. Very similar to some other creations in this thread, except this mod's corners were done with a rotary table/tail stock setup. The hybrid atty is home made too, with "facets" machined in at the same intervals as the corners on the mod. I am liking the tool marks, and I may keep it just like it is; I only sanded with 1500 grit here. Very pocket friendly and hits hard, too. I learned a lot while making this guy, so it was time well spent. Thanks to ALL the mod builders in here who inspired me to make this. {Grateful for this thread}

Sweet mod, it takes machine turning to a whole new level. I would definitely keep this finish and it will last better than shiny too.
A heads up for anyone still considering the rectangular bottles in a zippo style case from several pages back, Angelcigs has empties at 5 for $10 plus shipping.
ENJOY
ENJOY

Just finished reading all the posts in this thread. TON of amazing work and information here. Just chiming in because it has been my mission to get into squonking and, me being me, i must build my first squonker myself. My first attempt will be a Raptor 20A/OKL-T/20/TDK Lambda dc/dc converter, or, I may just tear apart my Sigelei 150w and use that chip. All in a box that will fit the chip, (2) 18650s and a bottle. Haven't decided whether to use a Hammond B box I have sitting around and TRY to cram it all in, or make one myself. Either way, the FD BF 510 is on its way so I can't wait to start!
