OK, so I've been working on a few different things lately and one that I've been fumbling around with is being able to heat up water to about 70 deg C, then back down to about 38 deg C...all in less than 2 minutes too lol.

I can't really think of a way to get the water down to almost half the temperature of what it was in that short of a timespan. I'm sure by having a fan at one end of the tube of passage and having that moving quickly I could do it, but I haven't had much luck with that theory...

Any ideas would be GREATLY valued!

Thanks so much!!

You could, if you want to take 10 or 20 or whatever minutes it's going to take. Silicone is considered to be thermal insulator.

You really need do the analysis, and your unfamiliarity with how the cooling is being accomplished is severely hampering your path to a solution. You should read up on heat transfer; there are gobs of resources, including Wikipedia, a free HT textbook: all on the web.
