I cleaned my one and only atty and iv been smoking like cg after cig debating weather to fire this thing up. Do I have to dry overnight? Or is there a way to "quick dry" it so I can start using it without shorting or burning it out.

Since it's cold where I live, my furnace is running in the house. After cleaning, I blow them out on both ends (using my mouth), then sit them on the heat vent when the furnace kicks on with the end that accepts the cartridge down towards the air flow. Give it one furnace cycle (approx. 10 minutes) and they are completely dry. Prime with a two or three drops of e-liquid, slap on a fresh cart and start vaping.
Here's what I do, works every time to remove water and reprime the atty:
1) stand the atty up, battery side down.
2) fill it about 3/4 full with thinned glycerin (1 part water to 8 parts glycerin)
3) let the glycerin drain out the bottom
4) blow out the atty from the cart side
5) wipe down the battery end of the atty
Put a couple drops of juice in the atty and good to go.

inflate a balloon, put mouthpiece over atty end and squeeze balloon, as it deflates it blows them out pretty good. from washing or just for switching flavors, it takes abt 2 inflates on each atty end and its all dry
If I'm in a hurry I blow it out stand it threads for a few minutes and prime and go. Assuming you aren't using rubbing alcohol, then I'd do a couple of dry burns. I use vodka so I don't have to worry about it.

The best way I found for rotating my stock of atties is after cleaning in Crest Pro Health and soaking over night in water to remove all the taste of anyhting in it I have a gas stove and set them right over where the pilot light is and it dries them pretty fast and thorough. Best way Ive found so far and since I rotate stock i dont need them in a fast fashion but it seems like on the stove it dries them alot better.
If you have a hairdryer with a "Cool" setting, you've got a faster solution there, too. (Hot settings might work for short bursts - really don't want to get the metal scorching.)
Hmmmm....other sources of forced-air drying....snowblower? air compressor?
