I made a heat sink for the 510T atomizer. I have a small machine shop in my basement. After an hour I noticed a drop of 10- 12 ° drop of temp on the atty itself. Has anyone thought of this? As soon as I can get a decent photo I will post it that is if enough interest is shown. All Aluminum, press fit by hand. you only have to sand of the original finish to get the best results and heat dissipation. I think it will make my atomizers last longer due to the amount of heat removed from the atomizer. Next up cartomizers!

Dissipating the heat serves no useful purpose IMHO. The theory sounds logical OTOH the coil is what is getting overheated with or without the heat sink. Allowing the atomiser to rest between hits is key to longevity. If it is hot against the back of your hand or cheek, then it should be allowed to rest. You are merely dissipating the heat of the atomiser body which does not come into contact with the atomiser coil.

well, there is heat being transferred from the coil to the body through the ceramic cup and the metal mesh surrounding it. Bringing this temp down will, albeit slowly not not very efficiently, bring down the coil's temp. I guess what I mean is, youll probably hve to wait a good amount less between drags to keep the coil temps in a relatively safe region. I think a heatsink WILL do something, although putting it on the outer housing wont immediately affect the coil temps, but itll certainly help a bit.
