Does anyone de-wick or de-bridge their 510 atties for use on their Reos? And if so, does it improve or hamper the performance of the atty? Thanks!

Some people abide by dewicking/debridging atomizers but personally, I think that it decreases the performance of the atomizers over the long run with little to no increase in flavor or vapor production. Also, it will cause much more leakage due to the lack of materials that holds the juice.
dewicking only i leave the bridge intact i remove the wick to get rid of the burnt taste
Thought id post this since it helped me out....dont know if this guy is a forum member or not but it is a nice little tutorial on how to dewick. (he calls the wicks threads though FYI)

Same here. I tried with a few bridgeless atty's both from the factory, and diy. The wick being removed made the best modification imo. Not all attys need to have this done. I've had a few that were great, and never had that crappy burnt taste because the wicks were installed correctly. The majority, are not (in my experience) correctly installed, therefore it's the second thing I do when I get an order of attys in. Right after verifying with a meter that they are not doa.
I agree, if an atty tastes burnt and is unusable, I'll dewick. Otherwise I leave them alone, they last longer.
I've got a Cisco 306 that has zero airflow, despite every cleaning method known to man, including a few rounds in the ultrasonic. It has already been dewicked, and it reads correctly, so I'm going to try debridging.
