How to Clean a Vape Device: What You Should Know First
Vape Pen Maintenance Tips
Have you just received your first vape device in the mail? You're likely marveling at its sleek build and advanced performance.
During the first couple of months of owning it, you may notice it accumulates dirt and grime. Its performance and flavor output may become sub-par.
Some owners don't bother cleaning their vape pens, whether because it's a hassle or they simply don't know how. Instead, they'll run their devices into the ground and buy a new one.
This passive approach ends up costing you money - money that you could spend on vape cartridges or other meaningful items instead of wasting it on a replacement you don't need.
If you want to get maximal usage out of your vape pen device, you need to clean it.
Luckily, the cleaning process isn't overly complicated. We've outlined how to clean a vape pen in this article to make your device last for the long term.
For a closed system vape pen like RELX, you can refer to this video about how to clean your vape pen:
Before we go over the step-by-step instructions on how to clean a vape pen, you should know a couple of things:
A vape pen has a few critical components. Knowing these will help prepare you for cleaning and handling the device properly:
Any time that you notice that your vape pen isn't offering superior performance, you should give it a deep clean. The recreational vaper can get away with cleaning the device every month or so. If you vape every day, you will likely need to clean your device as often as once per week.
If you fall somewhere in the middle, here are some general guidelines to follow:
Novice and veteran users alike want to achieve maximum flavor from their vape pen devices. To get the best flavor possible, you should clean your vape tank every time you add a new e-liquid flavor. As much as you love your signature Cotton Candy flavor, it won't taste good if its residue mixes with a new Coffee flavor you want to try.
To prevent this undesired clash of flavors, we highly recommend cleaning your vape tank.
Rinsing out your tank with warm water will usually suffice. Sometimes, you will be better off performing a deeper clean with alcohol.
We have outlined both methods for cleaning your vape tank below:
Vape coils are crucial components of vape pen devices. Without them, your device wouldn't heat up, vaporize your e-liquid, and provide you with a flavorful experience.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to clean your vape coil. If you wet it with water or alcohol, it will burn out.
So, no matter how diligent your vape pen maintenance routine is, you'll eventually need to get a new coil. It's just a part of owning a vape pen device.
Naturally, the more often you vape, the more often you will need to purchase a new vape coil.
While we can't offer any advice on how to clean a vape coil, we can provide you with some signs that you need a new one:
Changing a vape coil is usually a simple process. Generally, it looks something like this:
Keep in mind that there are a lot of different coil types available on the market. You may have to follow a slightly different process for changing your coil, so follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure you do it correctly.
Cleaning your vape device and replacing the coil are not always enough to help you get the most use possible from your device.
To help you maintain your device's longevity, here are some general maintenance tips to keep in mind:
As you're using your vape pen in a social setting, you may become distracted and forget to check the level of your e-liquid. You mustn't allow your tank to run dry while you're using it. You risk burning out your coil if you use your pen with no liquid in the tank.
On the other hand, you should also avoid filling up your tank with too much e-liquid. Overfilling your tank can result in excessive wear and tear. You could damage parts that you should not expose to any kind of liquid.
To maintain the ideal level of e-liquid in your particular device, find out the optimal filling level recommended by the manufacturer. Your manufacturer should provide both minimum and maximum levels so that you don't let your tank run dry or overfill it.
Do not leave your e-liquid in direct sunlight. Avoid exposing it to scorching temperatures. Excess heat will cause your e-liquid to become thinner.
E-liquid that is not the right consistency will result in issues with leaks or the poor performance of your vape pen device.
When you aren't using it, find somewhere safe to store it. Pick a designated spot so that you always know where it is. Make sure pets and children can't accidentally get to it.
Here are some general tips for storing your vape pen:
Consider investing in a storage case to keep your device safe and ready-to-use whenever you need it.
Even if you're a vaping veteran, you may not have a maintenance routine for your vape pen device. Novices and experienced users alike can benefit from the tips we have outlined here on how to clean a vape pen.
This kind of device is not something you should have to purchase month after month. With the right care, this product should last you for a year or even longer.
When you adopt a strict cleaning and maintenance regime, your vape pen device should always perform at its best. Cleaning lets you save money and maximize the flavor of your vape pen.
