What's the most idiot proof atty? One that can run dry without charring the wick easily, resistant to leaking, and easy to drip with....

Take a look at Isaac description of his new 510 atties, its in another thread but he says that the mesh inside is more dense to help prevent leaking and when the atty runs dry it provides an empty taste rather than burnt wick, might be worth a shot, givin them a try. I have a couple on the way so I cant comment yet.
edit; the thread name is next generation of ikv atties

Thanks,
I saw that thread (actually participated in it). I guess I'll give them a go.
On the site, he only mentions the 1.5s giving that empty taste, not the 1.8s. Is there a difference between the two?

The one Jesus vapes, no seriously it hasn't been invented yet.
Dripping is an art. Some folks get the hang of it rather quickly and some folks don't. Even I will screw up the odd one, it happens, not often but it does.
Reading through all your posts you are searching instead of spending time learning about them. What I mean... Try them all and go from there. IMO there are far too many variables to accurately answer your question(s). At present the best atty in Isaac's stable is the IO6 LR and I've tried them all with the exception of the hybrid from COV and the HH 357.
Moods play a big factor on vape experience. Some days a certain atty will work and on others meh... all this stuff is subjective. I vape HV when outdoors big difference. This was discovered by Hifistud and he it the nail on the head. There are days I prefer an 801, and there are days I prefer a 510, and then sometimes an 901 etc, etc... One size does not fit all
Vaping the plethora = not getting bored, unlike smoking cigarettes which was a habit more than deriving pleasure.The other BIG factor is the liquid we are vaping, from flavour to viscosity.
So you see, an answer to your question(s) is not simple. You would like a simple solution, but the truth is there is none. You need to tailor your vaping habits around the equipment you are using, and once that is found tweak it to perfection. I vape at 7-8 watts, wayyyyyyyy too cool for many. But eh! that is what works for me
I wholeheartedly agree with everything switched said, I have certain liquids that I will only use on certain atties because of the way they perform and how they taste. That being said, I love the 901lr with certain liquids, the I06 with certain liquids, and a 1.5 510 with others. Of all the attys I have tried, for me personally, all had a learning curve, the hardest one to learn was the 901 but man is it awesome now. I actually have a 901lr from ikv that is over a year old but it obviously does not get used all the time, still pretty good though. I really wish that there was a "one size fits all the variables" but I dont think that is possible at this time, so I just stick with what works for me. One last thing that I will say, when trying a new type of atty or even a new brand, sometimes they might not be working the way you expected them to and a lot of the time that is just the learning curve showing up, its easy to just give up but a lot of times if you just stick with it for a few days, things will get better and you will have another atty to add to your arsenal. Good Luck
p.s. Drip shields work great for overdripping, if you do not already have one.

Giant difference to me. I can't and won't vape a 1.8 @ 3.7 heat and taste to me is better on a 1.5 @ 3.7
My favorite of all time is an SR 901 2.8 (to 3.0) Ohm on a VV at 3.7 to 4.5v and at least half VG (50/50) or more. It (901) is known as a medium between the 510 and the 801. Whereas the 801 is airy but more flavor (less t/h) than the 510, the 901 gives some of both.
Many say the downside of 901 is leaking through that hole on the side above the bottom, but once you get a feel for the amount of juice you need, it's not a problem imo. In fact, if you bottom feed with them, you will know you have the right amount when you see a bit of juice peek thru the hole.
Dripping took me almost a year of going back to it to get it down, but imo it's the best vape possible.
I use a Pyrex d/t ... it's the bomb. period. and a needle bottle.

I agree the 901 is prbably the best there is. Unfortunately, is is an extremely unforgiven atyy in the hands of an amateur (strong word). It is an atty that requires to be mastered in the hands of a skilled vaper.
Well, I did end up ordering a bunch of different attys. Still hit and miss. I might not be giving it enough time to properly wick either.
On the other hand, my cartos are lasting longer and longer so there is hope for me yet.

It will come, it will come.
All the atties have different vaping characteristics and only with time will you be able to troubleshoot their personal idiosyncrasies. I know this is not the answer you are seeking but the only one I can offer.
In retrospect probably the easiest to tame and master for dripping is the Std 2.2 510 from JoyE @ 3.7V. <---- Noticed I stayed away from IKV atties with good reason. All of Isaac's atties have been tweaked in some way shape or form to extract the maximum a given atomizer can deliver. e.g the tweaks on a 510 is different than the tweaks on a 801 or 901 etc...
In order to improve on the 306 and extend its lifespan, Isaac had to increase the engine bay size, hence the IO6 which is as we know a 306 exposed bridge in a 510 body. The final product is as sweet as mum's apple pie. It is a very forgiven atty IMO, but you seem to struggle with it. I am not sure why.
Glad to hear you are finally coming to grasps with cartos. Me on the other hand I am having great difficulty with them
They don't suit my vaping style. I love them but burn through them. The culprit: my liquid combined with my vaping style are incompatible with cartos for extended use, something I have grown to accept since day one (they are a disposable item). If I get 5 refills out of one I am happy = a day+ of vaping. Cheaper than a pack of smokes. 
I'm in ukeman's camp. I like the 901s on a VV and I just use 2.5 ohm attys from anywhere for that. However, that's for dripping and then I use an empire mods drip shield. That's a little cumbersome for out and about. So, then I use a bottom feeder. I did some figuring and found that a 1.8 ohm would be pretty close to the power usage. A 1.8 ohm 901 isn't available everywhere. I wound up getting some from IKV. I have to say that that it's really hard to flood. I've been quite pleased with it.
Cool beans Mickey. Ahhhh the drip shield what a God send that device is/was for us 901 fans. I made one for myself and seldom use it now. I like it for out and about though (no leaking).
It will come, it will come.

I'm getting better with the io6. I still get dry/slightly burnt wick hits every once in a while when I don't think I should be, but Loft mentioned a priming vape in another thread and that generally fixes the problem until it's time to drip again. Unfortunately, the bit of burning wick I do get is murder on my throat so I hope I can learn to master this atty soon.
Yup. Same here caged. That priming vape has made my experience much better. Thanks loft!
Still having a better experience on the 1.5 510 though. If you like TH give one a shot. When it's empty, it let's you know with a dry, slightly burnt hit. Add 3 drop, let it sit a bit, then on I go. Haven't had a single leak with it either.
(But now I'm going out, so its back to cartos. Tonight I'll give the io6 some more trys)

I love some 801 atty. Even the smallest of hits seems to flood your taste buds, and fill your lungs with enough vapor to cause you to lose sight of what's around you on exhale. The only downfall that I have found with them is that I actually cannot afford to use them, because they are serious juice hogs. I burned through 7mL of juice in 1 day using an 801, whereas with a 510 or 901 I go through more like 1.5-2mL.
Wow! That is some serious juice consumption there and quite a large delta. WTF?
