Heatsink?

[fiddleshe]

I was browsing eBay and found a 510 heatsink. Anyone tried them? Do they work to keep things cooler?

Sounds like a gimmick if you ask me. The entire tank/mod is essentially a heat sink... dont know what if any benefit you would gain.... got a link? i am curious to see it and figure out just what they are trying to do.

not really... the amount of surface area to conduct heat away from the atty to the heat sink is basically the 510 threads...
they might be about 8% effective...

I use heatsinks as a *thread saver* for my mod. Since I use bottom fill tanks, I'm removing/replacing the tank often thus causing more wear to the threads. When the heatsink threads start to wear, I'll toss it and put another on. I also have many spare STM bases.

 

[fiddleshe]

What are stm bases?

kanger subtank minis... they are also used to be decorative for some.

Not sure about keeping things Cooler? Because what I used them on (RTA's) don't get very Hot.

But they do work Great in a SxS Mod when using a Short RTA.

I have used them and while not drastically cooler they do help some

Tried them ... Yes they help but only as much as they can. If the problem is severe you're probably going to have to look for another solution. If it's not severe it might make enough difference to really help.

I use them as a spacer so I can fit 25mm tanks on my mod. They work great for that

I don't see why things getting warm is an issue in the first place. Use a delrin drip tip - sorted.

The base of the tank also transfers heat and I have found that some tanks when chain vaping tend to get a bit on the warmer side. The heat sink does keep the heat from transferring to the MOD and the increase is surface area allows for it to dissipate faster.

My mod gets hot too. Not just warm. Batteries explode or at the very least lose potency if they get hot. Also I can't find a tip yet they fits. The only one they had was metal.
