the top right has a regulator with an aluminum heatsink under it. between the two is formula 5 silver thermal compound (the best thermal past on the market), to make sure the heat is transfered quickly to cool down the regulator. it is then held down by epoxy, also not bad at displacing heat as i have that as a heatsink in another mod that works great.

everything went together pretty good but the master on/off slide switch wasn't connected so nothing was getting power. fixed that and was on my way.

this thing vapes just like any other 5v. feels tough and has a nice weight to it.

so thats what i did today, what did you do? lol.

I've thought about using a heatsink the next time I make one, but it never occured to me to use a thermal compound. I have some Artic Silver (and some other stuff... OZC I think). Interesting.

you really don't have to.

if i make a mod for someone, it's just for that extra mile of effort.

the heatsink is actually make for ram. it's the kind that has the double sided tape on it. i just trim it and take off the tape.
