Bike...are the ones I ordered correct, based on what you're talking about...this is new to me...sorry for the questions...
I wouldn't bother with those old drippers. I'd go with a cheap Nimbus-style RDA or three. Then you can test, de-wick, rinse with water, re-wick and test again. The Nimbus has a big open deck that makes wick installation and removal a breeze. if you don't mind waiting you can get'em for $5 a pop.
Great Nimbus Clone Dual RBA but.. - V5 Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer: FastTech
ON EDIT: Now that I think about it. That flat deck/juice-well allows the wick(s) to absorb, pretty-much, all of the juice applied. You might not even need to rinse them between flavors. Especially if your testing in the same flavor family (tobacco, fruit, confection, etc..)

Those are for the cigalikes but I think you may be able to take the top part off and put a drip tip in. I'm not sure about that either. I'll have to check further
Edit: Do you have any cigalike batteries?

I don't have any cigalike batteries (i know of)....will the Spinner II's work?
Perhaps their cigalike batteries...I'm not sure of the technical name for Spinners....

Those are like little cartomizers. They have some there that look longer than the ones I have but I think they are the deal. Maybe it's a drip tip in it
Genuine Joye 510 electronic cigarette 10-pack of black atomizers
This is what I ordered...I guess I need the battery?
| Code | Item | Quantity | Price | Grand Total |
| 510-ATOM-BLACK-LOW | Replacement atomizer for Joye 510 or Joye eGo electronic cigarette. Genuine Joyetech! - 1.5 Ohm LR Matte Black | 10 | $0.99 | $9.90 |
They have a 510 connector so will fit any 510 device. You don't need a cigalike battery. But I think those are like blank cartridges. I'm not that familiar with them but I think they are made like cartos. They say replacements for the Joyetech cigarette and I'm only familiar with the Volts and Blues that use a 306 size cartomizer. After lookin at em I don't know if you put cartridges in them or they already have them in?

Nevermind....
I bought those to...............
If previous don't work, duct-tape will....!
..................
lmao.....
I went from Spinners to every Kanger and Aspire subanks made in a month.....I didn't experiment much with gear...
But duct tape certainly helped......!
I'm going to disagree with aldenf on this point. Kendell wanted the attys for sampling flavors and the Joye 510 with the metal mesh for the bridge and at the base hold much more eliquid than bridgeless attys, less probability of dry hits. The Joye 510's get that job done at less expense.
If the goal is straight dripping for pleasure rather than sampling, then the cisco .357 and the instructs on how to vape it are worth the higher price and effort. So on that I would agree. That said, I have tried the .357 and still prefer cisco's 306 lr's with a cannon drip tip for my ultimate dripping setup.

Inspects,
What you bought---a ten-pack of Joyetech SR510 2.2-ohm atties with a VaporKings logo---is fine. They'll work with any PV that provides power in the "standard" voltage range (3.3-4.8 volts)---mechanicals, eGos, Twists/Spinners, ZMaxes/VAMOs, regulated boxes, whatever. They're atomizers, not cartomizers, with horizontal coils in ceramic cups over which are inverted-V-shaped strip metal bridges wrapped in fine wire mesh that provide the wicking. You can even convert them into "bridgeless" atties (where you drip eliquid directly onto the coils) by pulling out the bridges with a pair of needlenose pliers. Some 510 atties are produced and sold as bridgeless---the "bridged-versus-bridgeless" debate was a hot topic on ECF way back when. All those threads are buried in the archives.
Your new "disposable" atties work just like RDAs---you drip eliquid by drops into the open end of the barrel or through whatever drip tip you use on them. [By the way, that's why drip tips are called "drip" tips. They were first marketed back in 2010-2011 for use with those very atomizers you just bought, as well as for cartomizers, which were gaining favor at that time---various kinds of tanks came soon after that (veterans will remember syringe-mod carto tanks from 2011). Nhaler was the first vendor I remember to carry drip tips. They were plastic or delrin, and ridiculously expensive---about $7 each, plus shipping. We bought them anyway, because all vaping hardware was more expensive back then. Aluminum, stainless steel, glass, and ceramic drip tips came later.]
I see some posters tonight belittling 510 atties in favor of rebuildable drippers. That is by no means a universally-held opinion. Many people love old-school Joyetech 510 atties. VaporKings sells 'em by the truckload. That's one of the great things about vaping---people can use whatever hardware pleases them.
Dripping as a vaping technique waxes and wanes in popularity. For awhile, cartos, clearos, and tanks made it seem that dripping was becoming passé. When rebuildable atties showed up in the marketplace (RBA/RDA/RTA), dripping seemingly roared back for RDAs, but the truth is that dripping never went away. While some hardware does vanish from the vaping scene (remember blue foam in cartridges?), much older hardware remains viable despite the latest-and-greatest new thing to hit the marketplace.
While refinements in hardware occur these days at breakneck speed as the vaping industry enters its aggressive, hyper-competitive adolescence, the basic technology of vaping remains the same as it's been since the very beginning a decade ago in 2005: metal coils that are heated by voltage from a battery to vaporize eliquid. Will vaping be based on that formula forever? I don't know, but so far there's no indication that it will change fundamentally any time soon. Even something like "temperature control" is essentially a refinement on the basic technology, rather than a revolutionary change. I mean, an RDA with sub-ohm twisted quad coils on a 26650 mechanical or a tank with sub-ohm OCC-wicked vertical coils on a 150-watt box mod are both finally just more powerful and sophisticated versions of a simple 510 atomizer atop an eGo battery (or an 808-d 220mAh cig-a-like, if we want to reach even further back).

Kanger's and Eleaf's dual coil atties are very nice. Well, I like them. Dual coil cartomizers were a failure, though. But I still prefer single horizontal coil design.
I don't compress and torch either since I mastered the tensioned build. I just anneal the wire a bit before coiling--nothing else. I have two coiling gizmos I love and they really help.
The best atties for beginners or for those who just want to sample juices.

Drip, Drip, Drip
I'd found a video on YouTube this week where a guy takes a pen with a pocket clip on it and twists his wire. Decided to try it today. Started with 30g (I have a small stash of 32 I'll be doing this with for sure!) Wrapped 5 spaced turns on a 1/8" drill bit and hit about 1.1 ohm. Threw it on an RDA and popped it on top my 50. VERY thrilled.
So, Katya, if I can do this - I know YOU can
Dear Lord...
Et tu, Dinger?
I agree.
I have a bottle of PG/VG blend, no nic, and a bottle of cheap vodka in the fridge. I do a wet burn--works on all atomizers. Mix the vodka with the PG/VG mixture and vape some of that concoction (preferably without inhaling) for a few minutes.
