Since u rock regular wheelies are you just trying to slow them down or catch idle wheelies?

It's not rocket science. Assuming you're clutching your wheelies up now (which you should be), just do that...but going slower.

i just got my stunt bike running that i bought last winter. ive been trying my hand at it as well. its kind of nice its a piece of shit because i drop it ALOT. are you able to drop your bike without your stomach churning? it took me a little bit to get used to it. i also bought a 50 that ive been attempting to learn on as well. that is helping too. just takes seat time. im right there with ya bub

Definitely it is hard to train your mind to keep throttle on and use the rear brake to control height.

As far as when to apply the rear brake, there is no benefit if it is applied while the front wheel is below the balance point. Most people will sort of lightly rest their foot with minimal pressuse until the bike nears the balance point and then steadily apply more pressure very quikly then let off a little(much llike doing a stoppie).

I first learned to slow down while doing 'faster' balance point wheelies in 1st gear (not at the lot). A good way to train your brain/muscle memory is to do your balance point wheelie as you normally do and start pressing the foot brake to cause it to fall. Do this over and over for a little bit. Then start adding gas to fight the brake and try to keep your wheelie at the same height that you started at. Do this over and over. Then once you're comfortable with that, start letting off the brake a little while holding the gas steady (fighting the brake) and you will slow down.

Do this over and over till you are very good at it and you can transfer the knowledge to a very slow/stopped clutch up wheelie at the lot.

For those interested in learning rear brake control very quickly, I suggest learning on a 50, quad, or dirt bike of some sort. These are much lighter and easier to learn on and force you to learn the foot brake because the throttle/engine brake is not strong enough to keep it from flipping.

In 1st, Stop, grab the clutch, rev and drop the clutch. See how high it comes up, if you need to give it more gas keep doing it 'til you figure it out. Then once you got it coming up to near balance start adding small throttle inputs and use the brake to just keep it from coming to far back, finding the bar and being able to park it or looping helps. But yea then you'll start just letting idle for the most part do the work and use the brake to keep the bike tall. Just go watch the tone learns idle videos on stunt bums. That'll give ya an idea.
