I don't know if you'll find an atty like that. You'd almost need the whole mod made for a Genny. There would be no need to squonk, you'd want the mesh wick in the bottle instead. It would be a hybrid box mod instead of a tube. Seems like it'd be a good idea. You should run it by some of the guys who make box mods Reos, SweetVapes, RedSky.... I'd want VV or VW in it too.

So far this is all I have been able to find. I don't have any ability in mod building but don't see why someone with skills couldn't make a genesis with a 510 connector and a small tank portion built into the bottom of the atty that you squonk into.

That's just a Phoenix atomizer modified for bottom feeding, and using a vertical SS Mesh wick. I have a Chalice that I have a vertical SS Mesh wick on, and it's a vaping champion.

ok, just looked at the video. It sure does look like he's using a phoenix atty. Not sure what mod it is. Must have drilled through the center post on the phoenix. I've drilled my phoenix, and it does feed perfectly on a reo grand, only problem is it caused a short on the reo. not sure why that is but speculation points to the center pin on the reo being too short for the phoenix. Otherwise, this is easily done, you would just have to make sure the wick is well oxidized as to not short out if it touches the floor of the atty.

One of the main points of a genny is constant wicking of juice, giving a consistant vape with each hit. If you are squonking, each draw would be different from the last. I've had to fiddle with all my gennys to get them to wick just right. Too much or not enough didn't give desired results. Something like a Reo modded with wick going to bottle instead of feed tube would be cool. Now that I think about it, I'm suprised nobody has done it yet. You'd probably lose the mechanical part, you'd need a wire to goto positive post of the coil. It really wouldn't be that hard to do.
