Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Vape Tank 2024
Take out the vape tank
Empty any remaining liquid from your vaporizer and rinse the tank with clean water
To spot-clean residue off
For areas inside the tank that are hard to reach, use a Q-tip. For a thorough cleaning, fill the tank with your chosen cleaning solution, let it soak briefly, then scrub and rinse
Take out any replaceable parts
Remove the coils from your vaporizer and thoroughly rinse them in clean water. Remember the placement of each component to avoid losing small parts. (Tip: Place all pieces in a bowl)
If the vape tank is made of plastic
Avoid soaking the tank for too long as it can make the plastic brittle. Fill the tank and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then, use a dishcloth soaked in cool water (under 120°F) to clean any remaining residues along the inside edges that alcohol missed. Do not dry immediately!
Dry everything with a paper towel
Dry thoroughly and let it air dry completely before reassembling and placing it back in your vaporizer
E-cigarettes have a tank system that stores e-juice in a chamber near a heating element. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent damage and maintain performance. If not cleaned, residues can alter the taste—for example, switching from a coffee flavor to berries without cleaning can affect flavor. Dirty coils can reduce flavor and vapor production and may even give a burnt taste
Why Clean the Vaporizer?
Cleaning a vaporizer prevents residue build-up in the tank, preserving flavor and performance. Accumulation can dull the taste and overheat the device, potentially damaging it. A well-maintained vaporizer offers better durability, performance, and flavor. Vaping with a dirty or clogged tank can lead to :
A dirty vape tank can become a breeding ground for bacteria and microorganisms, potentially causing stomach issues or other health problems
Diminished flavor and vapor output
A burnt-flavored vape
Leaks from the atomizer into the heating chamber can be risky, as they allow liquid to contact electronic components, potentially causing hazardous situations
This can lead to rapid coil burnout, requiring more frequent replacements
Liquid reaching the mouthpiece can easily transmit germs, posing a risk of illness to anyone who uses or handles your vape, including pets and children
Regularly cleaning your vape tank and device is crucial for maintaining its health and ensuring an optimal vaping experience. For those with asthma or respiratory issues, consistent cleaning can prevent condition exacerbation
What Cleaner To Use?
To remove stubborn stains from your vape, use a diluted rubbing alcohol solution, a bleach solution for rust or calcium buildup, chemical-free soap, pure 91% alcohol, or a homemade mix of 30 ml distilled white vinegar with 120 ml boiling water. Baking soda is also an effective old household remedy
Further Tips for Long Term Usage
Store a drying rack in your vaping area to let moisture evaporate after cleaning. Regularly clean your vaporizer, mouthpiece, and cartridges with soap and water, and wipe the exterior with alcohol wipes before storing. Replace coils every few weeks to avoid a burnt taste or if you notice reduced liquid levels, to maintain efficiency. Proper maintenance extends your vaping enjoyment!
