Is there some sort of list going for RBAs that can be fed from a bottom feeder? I've got a local friend with a reo(he Iinherited mine when I switched to gennys) and he wants to make sure there aren't any options he may have over looked before he buys anything. Any opinions are certainly welcome as well as to what is quality and what units have issues.

And really......I'm missing my squonker from time to time. Gennys are great qnd all, but I miss the lessoned hassle I used to enjoy from my old mod. No fighting with wicks ya know. IOW, I am half looking for a reason to make my wallet scream.

There are a lot of rba that are easily modified to work on bottom feeders as well.

I've successfully modded this one by pushing out the possessive post and cutting out some of the delrin insulator. This took me all of 5 minutes with the help of a hand drill.

Wow, good idea double_aa_ron! as long as you don't over do it and short out yout atty, of course.

Interesting way of making the conversion for sure :)

That is a concern, but the insulator is still in tact all the way around the positive post. I just took out enough so that it's not air tight anymore.
