Just putting this out there... has anyone pondered the idea of modding a Reo with a flexible needle style feeding tube that goes up into the atty? I have some atties that do a little better with dripping than bottom feeding, and thought maybe it might be possible to mod a needle to the Reo. This would basically inject the juice closer to the top of the chamber, instead of having to feed it all the way through the bottom of the atty, which sometimes doesn't get the juice where it needs to go. Thoughts?

I am not a fan if sticking needles into your atomizer .I can assure you it doesn't work better I have tested this heavy.Think about it the juice is pushed up the needle and runs down the needle gravity wins every time. .If your going to do this I would use a small plastic tube insert it into the feed hole on your reo I have done it it does work without the risk of shorting your mod .You can strip some thin wire lets say from a radio shack battery box insert it into the feed hole on your reo.

If you just draw on the atty while lightly squonking it will get the juice "where it needs to go" The juice needs to be on the coil, it does not need to soak the bridge. Squonking will work just as the REO was designed to, and the draw while squonking does a great job.
