I started vaping with the kr-808's using cartomizers. Eventually I got hooked on a passthrough. These cartomizers can really heat up at times. After moving on to atty's I noticed that can heat up quite a bit as well.
When using a penstyle there is so little mass, and the metal walls are so very thin. The cartos would heat up pretty quick and retain that heat for some time. I don't know how many of you have dissected a penstyle, but the battery walls are as thin as the walls on an atty. A cartomizer in comparison has more metal mass then the battery walls themselves. The heat will draw to the higher mass/lower resistance.
Surprisingly this changed when I got my SB, even at 6v.
I tend to drip a 510, but I use cartos occasionally. If the carto or atty are not dry they tend to run cooler on the SB then on a penstyle. After a session with the SB I felt the top. It was noticeably warmer then the atty/carto. I'm guessing the large metal mass of the SB body is acting like a heatsink.
Just another neat thing I noticed with the SB.
Anyone else notice this?
If not, try it yourself. Break out an old penstyle or passthrough and try the same carto/atty on the SB and your other device, with the same juice level, and same hit duration.
