I received my new 510 atty and am all excited to drip etc. Everything tastes burnt. I don't taste anything. Everything is burnt even @ 3.2V I have a 1.7 ohm atty. What the heck, I thought dripping was going to be better.
Dripping?

You may find a higher resistance atomizer is more to your liking. I use 2.0 - 2.5 ohm atomizers. I found lower resistance attys the same as you.
You're probably not using enough juice. Did you prime the atty before you tried dripping with it? That link is definitely worthwhile. I've been dripping for four years and learned stuff from it.
Sounds like you have a cartomizer.
That's not dripping. Dripping IS one of the best flavor producers.
Don't give up.
Get a true dripping atty...you won't be disappointed.

I didn't have alot of luck with the standard 510 dripping atty I tried at first. Either dry hits or flooding. I never did get the hang of it. Then I picked up and octopus rebuildable dripping atty and now I just flat LOVE dripping. I really don't know what the big difference in the 2 is functionally (obviously I do in how it is built) but for me it was the difference between utter frustration and nirvana.
I'm just super frustrated I spent 6 bucks on an atty that I can't use.
Here is what I do, I rotate the air-hole to 6'oclock, you know, facing down. Then I take a few un-powered draws, and if I hear gurgling, I'm still good for drops.
If it is a carto you can just take the filler out and it becomes a dripping atty
I just started dripping about a week and a half ago. Got an IGO-W. Took me SEVERAL days to figure it out. I ended up getting the smallest machine screw I could find at ACE hardware, to wrap my coils on. THAT'S the way to go. I drilled out one of the airholes on the cap to 1/16 inch. I attach my coils so that they are close to the outer lip of the well - so that the air from the cap hole directly hits it if it's lined up correctly. Now, I wrap a ~1 ohm coil every time, and position it in the same spot (30g kanthal, 4 wraps). Works ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. FLAVOR! CLOUDS! NIRVANA!!!
Keep at it, and take my advice if you want. I'm actually just passing on the same advice that I got from several vapers on this forum. I had submitted a post about my own frustration when i first tried my RDA. All these things above are what different people told me to do. I love this place.
Edit: I somehow missed that you got a 510 Atty. I'm now assuming it's one of the small, old school 510 attys, not an RDA. Sorry if none of what I said applies to your situation. If you ARE talking about an RDA, I hope what I said helps you.

Yes it is a true wide bridge 510 atty. No it's not a carto. I have those. I'll try some of the other stuff. Thanks.
Hmmm, I have an H.H.357 long barrel @ 2ohm. Flavor is awesome at 3.5-3.7 (depending on the juice). BUT, if I let it dry out, WHOA ! ! ! The worst dry hit you can possibly imagine X 10.
Ocelot's blog will be a huge help. One thing she didn't mention about when to re-drip is that you can also tell by taste. At first it'll get a little diminished, then metallic and finally puke worthy dry hit.
