Make your atomizers cool off faster

It really works.. Replaced my atomizer a couple of days ago, but didn't sand the paint off and I already melted a solder joint in my box mod
I just don't ever have that hot of an atty or carto this time of year. I spend a lot of my time outside. I was up at high altitude playing in 3 feet of snow in my 4X4 today. It was a sunshiny morning and not much wind to speak of, but the thermometer said 6 above. While I was out in the snow, I was vaping my 5.0 tripple-v with a triple coil carto. Those things get crazy hot when used indoors, but are cold to the touch shortly after just taking a big drag or two outside in 6 above. It does transfer just enough heat to the triple-v (plus the warmth of my hands) makes that big chunk of metal nice and warm after a while. It's a good pocket and hand warmer when you use it often and chainvape some.
I know what you're saying about some attys getting really hot indoors, though. I mitigate that by being surrounded by PVs with different set ups (different attys cartos, and juices - many devices even at different voltages) so I can vape quite a lot and often whatever PV I picked up first and had in my hand for a while will get set down and might not get picked up again for an hour or more so they have plenty of time to cool.
And, also, most of my mods are aluminum. Aluminum is a great heatsink material. Nothing runs as hot on chunk of aluminum as it does on a plastic box or other good insulator. Insulators like wood and plastic make matters worse for an atty to cool. The aluminum, though the mods do get warm and probably transfer a lot of that heat to the battery compartment, removes a lot of heat from the atty connector and therefore the atty too because the atty sheds heat to the connector.
If I ever find myself vaping indoors more, or definitely when it's hot out next summer, I'm going to follow your advice. The less heat that makes it back through the connector in to one of my mods the better off my batteries will be in the long run.

I love heat sinks! I don't know why... Definitely not as much as a concern when the ambient air is cooler, and when your mod isn't plastic! LoL!
One thing I never did understand about the coils in these atomizers is that I always thought heat increased resistance in electrical wires (or any metal) ..... I guess the coil material isn't subject to this, though
I had not thought about it till reading this thread. Maybe part of the reason I like using a tank is that the juice around the carto helps cool it??? Maybe?
Yeah.... personally, I solder The Jetson's style heat-sinks around all my atomizers... you know 3 little round circles of decreasing diameter...built in drip shield too.
OK, not really. But it would work. lol.
I don't get my atties that hot tho. And I vape at a regulated 5 volts.

Very interesting idea! Might come in handy during the hot Georgia summers! Thanks!
I'm surprised no one has created a liquid cooled cart/atomizer setup yet..well it probably would be too bulky and expensive..I have thought about it you could wind some fine copper tubing around a cart (maybe inside) and attach a pump
