>One other finding from my test, however, was that it takes longer than I expected for the vaporizer head to cool fully before the next use. In my test, the head of my vaporizer was not cool to the touch until at least 9 minutes after disconnecting the battery. I did not want to try to cool the head with water, for fear of warping the head, so the treatment time per hive with air cooling only approaches 15 minutes.

I have only used the Heilyser vaporizers [6 so far] The head has never warped and I've been dipping them for several years.
