there is something called a "Bridgeless atty" its basically a coil under a small metal wedge that is good for about 3- 5 hits, kinda looks like a Blu Cartridge without the wick...
Taste-testing - better way?

Another "vote" for drippers (rda)... there's no really any easier methods.
I wick mine, and just puff until the cotton gets dry (using temp control of course), which you can feel and see (the cotton gets whiter) as it's getting dryer.
In case you're retentive about mixing the flavours a tiny bit, just use some flavourless base and puff a bit between the tests to "clean" the wick.

There's also the low tech method of putting just a drop of it on your tongue. If it doesn't make you nauseous or spit, it's a contender.
I took a small RDA, the Icecube, and instead of building two coils I built one vertical coil between the two posts. The bottom most wrap of the coil was bent in upon itself to have that last coil wrap a bit smaller and with the leg crossing the bottom of the coil forming in essence a cup out of the coil. Then I take a small piece of cotton, roll it into a ball and pop it into the cup. The juice makes it expand and fill the cup and it provides about 4 or 5 vapes before needing more juice. It takes but seconds to pull the old cotton ball, dry burn the coil, and put a new cotton ball in its place. Best of all I now know what to do with all the scrap cotton I get from rewicking my attys.
Maybe perhaps give op some links to newbie coil wrapping and rda building. One thing I'll recommend is steam engines coil calculator.
With the threaded extrusion at the bottom, it looks like it attaches to something. Not a complete device. Where is the battery? What does it attach to?
The screw-looking part on the bottom is where the atomizer connects to the battery or mod. Is that what you're asking about?
What device do you use to vape?
Frankly I'm just not getting it. The only device I use that has a removable battery is a Kanger Cupti. I also have a TOGO Mini. Mostly I use an eLeaf iCare and other small refillable devices. Don't know what rda, atty, mod, atomizer, or coil wrapping are.
So I guess the question is, where would I get this info, or is there another way to test recipes.
Don't fill the tank, just put in 15 drops or so.
Using an AIO limits your options.
An "ego" battery and the 510 Bridgeless atty at the top of the page may be a cheap option.

Thanks for the new acronym!
What is an AIO?When you say use 15 drops or so, you mean in the small refillables?

AIO = "All In One"
If I understand right I could take a:
Bridgeless 510 Atomizer | SmokTek.com
and pair it with a:
SmokTek Twist Variable Voltage 650mAh eGo Battery - Same as Vision Spinner | SmokTek.com
and one of these:
eGo USB Charger - 420mah | SmokTek.com
For a total of less than $30 and have a device that has no wick (?) that I can use to test a few drops of e-liquid at a time? Without any residual flavor creeping out of a previously-used coil/wick?
Anything else (or spare parts) that I would need?

A 510 drip tip will be needed.
However, the 3.2Ω Bridgeless 510 @ 4.8Volts (from the TWIST) is only about 7 watts.
The AIOs are at about 15 watts, so vapor and flavour will NOT be the same.
If possible, a lower resistance bridgeless 510 (1.5Ω-2.5Ω) will provide a bit more usability on the "Twist".
I see you have a SOLO, I will suggest using the solo as your test device.
I presume you have a few extra coil heads that could be used/washed/reused for testing purposes.
Another option I saw is the Suvod-C kit.
It uses the same heads as your kanger and if desired, you could use ANY 510 threaded atomizer/tank/dripper. (topper)
And finally, the new Cupti 2 comes with a 510 adapter tube that will allow a regular 510 topper to be attached.
I have not found the tube available separately from U.S. vendors. (only with the Cupti2 Kit)
Each option has it's strengths and weaknesses.
It may be prudent to try the solo (or similar) first, (you already own it) before splashing out for some new kit.
As mentioned in my earlier post, I test in the devices I will be using day to day to get an accurate idea of how it will taste/vape.

@Liazard - Hang on and don't buy those parts just yet. They only have a 3.2ohm atomizer (higher than you need), and their prices for the charger and the Twist too, are quite high compared to other places. I'll check around and see what I can find for much less and with a lower ohms atomizer.
@Liazard - Are you located in the US? Can't access your profile to see. Would make a difference which ones to post links for. For example...I found packs of 5 of the bridgeless atomizers for $4.99, but it's a Canadian vendor.
ETA: I have an appt. in town and won't be able to check more until afternoon. Please wait though, as I may have another much cheaper option for you, too.

@Liazard - I've found what you need, and at much better pricing. If you'll PM me, I'll give you the links to them and explain some excellent features they have.
Things have a way of quickly selling out sometimes, when links are posted in the forum. At times, they're gone even before the person who originally wanted the items has a chance to see them. (I learned that the hard way several times.) Don't know if that would happen with these things, but...it took a long time to find them, and I'd rather not take the chance.
