Well I found out that using a very thin heatsink with a vapochill would probably work well. I had a small heatsink from a video card left over, and started spraying it lightly with a can of condensed air inverted. I was spraying the fins and then waited until the excess liquid was gone. I then LICKED the bottom, freezing my tongue to it and rippped a good chunk of my tongue off. Not scientific, nor intentionally done for an experiment.

After the bleeding stopped, I walked back over to the heatsink to find my tongue chunk still frozen to the base. And since freon is colder, then it would be better.

I guess someone must have "triple Dog Dared me"

Very scientific. I bet it takes a very low temp to freeze your tongue like that. The is only 1 problem with doing that with the vapochill. The vapochill has a flat copper die that contactst the cpu directly. If you added a heatsink it wouldn't transfer heat from the processor very well. If the cooling from the vapochill hit the heatsink directly it might be a different story. I don't know a lot about the vapochill layout but I think thats how it works.
