newmedman, the atomizer heats up, BUT not to the point that it's going to melt the mouthpiece or any other part of the Cannacig. Anyone who tries to constantly use it second after second after second is probably only trying to damage the unit which I suppose, if you wanted to really damage what you just purchased with hard earned money, that's one's own prerogative and they could find any number of ways to purposely damage the unit.
As far as getting hot as a nail, well I haven't touched the atomizer to find out. Why would I do that? Plus, the owners manual says not to touch it. I guess I'm just a rule follower, but then again I generally don't run into problems because of that :)
Best to you and I hope you do have the chance to try the Cannacig out for whatever purpose you please.
