Gene, Can't imagine why you'd want to stand in an inch of water to soften brass ;-}
You answered your own question really - just get it hot and leave it - it will be soft. Better still, use copper. Now, needle valves - think laterally - where are they used - carburettors.... do you have an old carburettor hanging about or, better still, an old model aero engine which will have a needle valve in a bit of brass tube for a carburettor - strip it out and mount it crosswise in your bigger brass tube and you have a ready made atomiser..
