Atomizer cooling.

[d0nj03]

One of the things that annoy me about the e-cig, especially now since it's summer, is the long atty cooldown cycle (very long if I'm trying to vape outside around mid-day) that forces me to wait entire minutes between drags.

Are there any cooling techniques or special e-cig designs that help with this problem at all?

I roll it in between my thumb and fingers hoping that some of the heat will transfer more quickly.

I use manual batteries and my attys always cook juice a second or so after I release the button (I hear it sizzle even after release). What I do is take a drag, then release the button and continue the drag for a couple seconds after I release the switch and it pulls ambient air through the atty and cools it down a bit between drags. If you have mic switches or air switches on auto batts then you'll just have to wait a bit until it cools.

If you use drip tips, they also help release built up heat from attys if gently blown into after a drag. Just dont blow into the drip tip too hard after a drag or the heated juice will flow out the vents a bit.

Just my experience!

PS my cartos run cooler than my standard attys but I prefer standard 510s

All I could come up with so far is removing the cart and slowly blowing a couple of lungfuls into the atty. It seems to be the fastest way to drop its core temperature. Sometimes I will also blow on it from the side, so as to cool the connected end of the battery at the same time (I don't know what kind of temperatures these batteries can take, but if they're lithium-based, heat will reduce their lifespan and extreme heat will risk blowing them up).

I like warm attys.

Remember, you're boiling liquid (essentially) so the atty will get warm.

If I'm vaping like mad on a LR 510 in an eGO (with the cone on) theres been times when Ive unscrewed the atty to change to a different one (with another flavor) and had to drop the hot atty, as it was too hot to handle.. Not branding iron hot, but like grabbing a fresh hot mug of coffee hot.
