Has anyone solved the heat issue?

[DSFA]

I must admit I've been away from the forum for quite awhile so haven't kept up with any changes. Has anyone come up with a solution for the fact that the atty cover gets so hot you really can't hold the eroll like an analog after you hit it?

I bought the kit along with an extra battery when they first came out but found myself simply going with my twist more and more so have kind of just abandoned it. It would be nice to break it out again for nights out.

I do like the new case that holds an extra battery. Looks like the perfect solution for an obvious problem.

I just hold it right above the atomizer cone. It has become very natural and I never even think about it. There is no solution, really. All atomizers get hot with use. I certainly can't touch a regular 510 atty on my ego after using it for a bit.

I hold it below the atty and, usually, the air hole. I never choked up on a smoke until I had to as it got smaller probably because I used disposable plastic filters so it pretty natural for me.

It's become natural to me now to just hold by the light-up end with my thumb index and middle fingers! It seems weird at first, but just becomes natural! Am worried if i ever smoked an analogue now I'd end up getting a nasty finger burn!!

When lying in bed though i have accidentally dropped it on my chest a couple of times... and that's when you realise how hot it truly gets!!

I agree with other's, I just learned to hold it above the atomizer cone.....

I also hold it below the cone after the first couple draws. It's annoying, though, because I feel like I'm holding it the way I'd hold an illicit substance (filter) joint. Sometimes I do hold it above the cone, but that feels unnatural to me. But yeah, there's really no other way around this. Hold it above or below the cone, that's all you can do.

Just a clarification, I do hold it above the cone and not below. I was thinking below because I only hold it like that when it's dangling from my lips, haha. I just hold it a little closer to the battery end with the light.

Reading this I'm thinking it must have to do with the size of the hands. I'm very comfortable holding it like a smoke just below the air hole and that's actually one of my fav things about the eroll. I wear a size 7 ring, not by any means a petite hand, but can see where a guy with larger hands might have a problem. But P Busardo holds it like I do. Maybe one day Joye will come out with a super long tank to solve this that can just be switched to the regular size for charging. But, as it is, when I try to hold it using the tank, it feels unbalanced and I have to use my lips/teeth to keep it from dropping.

You don't know how lucky you are! I'm plagued with giant hands! I cursed the day touch screen smart phones came out as my fat thumbs mean i struggle with micro technology!! Just tried holding it the way you do and it's burnt the ends of my fingers!

Think holding it differently to a normal cig can be quite nice though, the weighting of it lends itself perfectly to be held at the end!

The heat issue is directly related to the atty. I have attys that get to hot to hold and attys that really never heat the cone. Not sure why, but if the cone is getting to hot change the atty.

As a dude wearing a size 12 ring, yeah, it's a bit more of an issue for us I think. But I don't think a longer tank would help much. The issue is weight, even a tank twice as long is going to weigh a lot less than the battery/atty/cone on the end of it. So the center balance point would just be a little closer to the tank, making it even closer to the air hole. Unless the tank was like seven inches long, which would be hilarious. I'd feel like an early 20th century cat using a cigarette holder.

I hold it just below the air hole (I do have small hands, so it's no problem for me). The only time I even notice the cone's heat is if I slip the eroll into my pocket after vaping. I'll probably appreciate that warmth during the winter months

I, too, have noticed that some attys are hotter than others. I have one that, right out of the box, got super hot. I've also noticed that as they get closer to needing cleaning the hotter they get but that's probably because I'm pulling harder.
