Heat sinks...

[Boden]

well being a streetracer that sounds awesome and thats my biggest problem using chuff tips. i HATE spitback. is there a cheap or homemade solution to that since you brought it up?

I believe racing stripes would help.



Spit back is usually caused by using wire that is too thick or art coils that hold liquid away from the heating wires. The vapor that is trying to get out from under the wire has to push liquid out of its way.

i just ordered a kepler 510 ss, hope its good, anyone used the VLS vulcan heat sink before? supposedly 19.99 but made very very well

if anyone wants one you can get it at gearbest, cheapest i've found
Kepler 510 Finned Heat Sink for Atomizers

and anyone know of a good 25mm heat sink? i found a 30mm one but thats way too big

I would only use authentic titanium heat sinks.

where can i get one

actually heat rises

Heat also is conducted.

Has anyone considered ceramic tiles? They were good enough for the space shuttle.

not enuf friction involved

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Shuttle tiles insulate not conduct.

and emmited...

Radiated I think it is.

Radiated I think it is.

In the spirit of arguing semantics, I'm calling on the Committee of Internexperts.

Emitted through radiation? Conduction? Convection? We need more data!

All of the above methods apply to heat sinks.

FASTTECH only a couple of bucks each or you can get a five pack for about 10 bucks

they also come in many colors
you can stack them if you want some extra height

another tip is if you push realy hard and remove the copper center pin you can put a screw though it and screw it to a block of wood for a cheap atty building stand

if you are an Atty changer and want to keep your threads from wearing its worth the 2 bucks , the fan thing reminds me of a ring that came with sneakers in the 60s( you blew into it and it made a whizzing noise) either "keds" or pf flyers, some of you other old guys might remember

Fraid to tell you, but those can be dangerous. I got a couple from FT, one is OK and snug, but the other one the center pin is so loos it fell out when taking it out of the package. I was able to fix that by putting a few dings in it with side cutters, but to the novice, it could fall out and short a battery if everything worked against you. There is no top to them keeping the center pin in the insulator, so you need to know how to fix it or tweak it if you get one that is lose. This is why I will only recommend the Kepler, it wont fall out.
