Can somebody help me out with a low cost, decent, bottom fed atty suggestion? I've only used the RM2 which I like, but honestly I think it's a little over priced. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Does it need to be pre-drilled?
If not, this is my favorite:
$5.76 A6 Mini Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
For the price, they are nice to learn how to mod for bottom feed. The topcap has a single hole, but the deck has three posts. You'd need to drill the airhole for a looser draw and a second airhole if you want to run dual coils. I like dual 2mm airholes.
These make a great driptip to keep cool: $5.07 PTFE 510 DripTip (5-Pack) 5-pack - w/o o-ring / white at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
But they need to be drilled for proper flow as well. 1/4" is nice.

This Zenith styled RBA comes with the parts necessary to use it as a BF atty, per the reviews - $9.27 Zenith V2.5 Styled Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I'll second this, I own one of these from FT and have had no issues at all with it.
I really appreciate the suggestions folks. However I should have mentioned that I am looking for something that is already pre-drilled. I am the least "handy" person on the face of this earth : /
Thanks steamer. I actually already have that on order. I was just looking for another alternative being that I don't believe you can change the drip tip on that particular atty. I don't do lung hits, so I'd definitely like to be able to switch the tip.
I found this, which I will definitely order, but would love to hear more suggestions on something that isn't a pre-order

The Zenith V2.5 from Fasttech is pre-drilled, it includes a replacement positive post screw that is installed in the bottom which turns it to a full fledged bottom feed RDA.

Thank you much! Do you by chance have a link that shows how to convert it into a bf atty? I know it has something to do with changing a pin, but I'm a little confused.
Look at the picture on the link. See how the center post has a different screw on top than the negatives and it has a hole in the center? All you do is unscrew the screw on top of the center pin, unscrew the 510 pin and swap them or use one of the extra grub screws. Then you are ready to bottom feed.
I think you mean the Zenith v2.5. I have two. They work fine but I prefer others that I modified for bottom feeding.
They require nothing special. As has been mentioned there is a screw with a hole through the middle. Mine came installed as the center coil mounting screw. Just unscrew the bottom screw and take this screw and screw it into the bottom. Coil, wick, squonk and vape. The only tool required is a flat blade screwdriver or a sturdy thumb nail.
Yeah I totally did, I just edited it to be less confusing. Not the first time my weird brain has switched those two names around!
Thank you much for your time fellas! Sounds simple enough to change the post on the Zenith.
I use a mini drill press my wife picked up for $60.
I think a vice and dremel will do the trick. The hardest part is pulling the center pin (though it can be done sloppily without pulling the positive pin).
