How often do you clean your vape? Is your vape clogged all the time? If so, I am afraid you need to spare some time for your vape maintenance. For new vapers, there are several parts you tend to neglect, which can affect the lifespan and quality of vaping significantly. Today I'd like to share some tips on how to clean a vape correctly and efficiently.
1. Can You Wash A Vape?
Cleaning a vape is not just washing it. Some parts of a vape, for instance, a tank or pod cartridge can be washed with warm water. Then you should let them dry completely before reassembling or using them again. Certain parts like vape batteries or box mod which are not waterproof may suffer from water damage and break down completely.
2. How to Clean A Vape Coil
The coil is the core of a vape, which generates the heat and distributes it evenly to the e-juice and then produces vapor. Although coils are washable, whether to wash or replace them depends on the condition and material of the coil.
If you are using coils for rebuildable atomizers (RTA/RDA), you can clean the coil because they usually have a longer lifespan and can withstand multiple cleanings before replacement. As to the coils pre-built in the pod cartridges or tanks, they are designed with a limited lifespan and are not worth cleaning. Fortunately, you can also grab bunches of replacement coils from Online Vape Shop.
(2) 5 Steps for Coil Cleaning
- a. Remove the coil from the device carefully and avoid damage to any part of it.
- b. Rinse with warm water in order to remove the remaining e-liquid.
- c. Soak the coil in a cleaning solution and let the coil sit for 11-2 hours to dissolve the residue. (Cleaning solutions include water and vinegar (1:3), vodka, or isopropyl alcohol)
- d. Rinse the coil again after soaking and air dry it for about 24 hours.
- e. (Rebuildable Coils Only) After installation of the coil, use the lowest output power and dry burn the coil to remove residue.
2. How to Clean A Vape Disposable?
Really? Do I need to clean my disposable vape? Sure, you need to and it is for your own sake. Now you all get a rechargeable disposable vape that has a much longer lifespan. The mouthpiece, which is the part that frequently has contact with your lip and mouth, is your priority. An unclean mouthpiece gives rise to bacterial growth and harms your health.
It is quite simple to clean your disposable kit. Just use an alcohol wipe or a cotton swab to wipe off the residue or your saliva left and use a cap or cover to keep it clean.
3. How to Clean Vape Tank Properly?
Since I've introduced coil cleaning in the previous paragraph, I will skip this part and mainly focus on the maintenance of the glass tank, metal components and O-rings.
Glass tank, also known as the reservoir, accommodates e-juice for your kit. You need to wash it thoroughly with warm water and wipe it with a soft cloth. The cleaning for metal components is alike but requires cleaning solutions that are not abrasive. To rinse the O-rings, the requirement is the same.
4. How to Clean Clogged Vape?
Stoners are more likely to suffer bad airflow and clogged carts. If you pursue the highness of premium THC Vapes, you must pay for it. The high thickness of the oil makes it difficult to flow smoothly in the vape. Without proper preheating, you cannot easily get high with insufficient puffs.
If your vape pen is clogged, try to slightly heat it outside. You can rub the cart gently for a while or use a hair dryer to speed up the process. Another way is to blow through the mouthpiece gently to push the oil blocking the airflow back towards the coil.
5. Final Thoughts
A clean vape makes a healthy vaper. How we treat our vapes is how we treat ourselves. Clean your vape kit regularly and enjoy trouble-free vaping.
