i dunno anything about this but it looks like the best way to drill squonkers. Any info? Opinions? Experiences?
Is this the best way to drill?

Cool find @bombastinator.
Fuid jet polishing is another good thing as well for machining items with extremely tight tolerances, it was initially created for the production of high precision optics.
It's loosely based off waterjet cutting technology, but could be used for so much more.

Fascinating. I bet you're going to have to make a lot of holes to recover your costs of equipment and software.
If only @Nermal.
I'd love these sort of toys to play with as well as a Direct Metal Sintering 3D printer, as well as knowing more about how to use CAD software and Parametric CAD software such as Autodesk Inventor. That's kind of fun for me.

I've done Many applications where EDM, either Wire or "Sinker", were the Best (only) way to go.
It is by No Means an inexpensive way to Remove material. Or a Fast process. But there are times when it would be Very Difficult to achieve what you want via "Hard Machining" techniques.
EDM can also be Very Attractive when High Degrees of Surface Finish must be maintained. Such as in Mold/Die Making. Or in Medical Applications.

EDM-ing squonk pins wouldn't be a very Cost Efficient.
And since the Profile needed for the e-liquid to flow thru the Pin Isn't really High Tolerance/Complex, and the Pin Material Isn't hard to machine material, simple Drill/Turn would be a Better way to go.
Now say the thru Profile you wanted want was a 5 Point Star for some reason. Then making a Sinker in that Profile and "Sinking the Hole" via EDM would be very Viable.
