Vaping is a popular way to quit smoking traditional cigarettes. In this blog post, we will be discussing how to clean your vape tank and vaporizer in order to keep it running at its best efficiency.

E-cigarettes use an on-demand tank system that holds e-juice in a chamber where it is exposed to a heating element. If the vape tank is not cleaned regularly, it can damage and affect performance. It can also affect the taste – imagine smoking a coffee-tasting liquid and then changing to berries. When a coil is gunked up, it will cause your vape to have reduced flavor and vapor production and even make it taste burned.

The purpose of cleaning a vaporizer is to avoid the build-up and residue that accumulates in the tank, which can change the flavor. The buildup also affects performance – your vape will have reduced flavor and too much heat, which can destroy it.

A clean vaporizer will last longer, perform better and taste better. When you vape with a dirty or clogged tank system it can lead to:

Therefore cleaning your vape tank and the whole device regularly is important for the health of your vaporizer and the best vape experience. And if you have asthma or a respiratory condition, cleaning your vape tank regularly will help keep it from getting worse!

Use either an alcohol-based cleaner like rubbing alcohol diluted in warm water to clean out stubborn stains inside and out, a bleach solution (diluted bleach is safe for all rubber parts) if there’s rust/calcium buildup or soap (preferably one without chemicals), pure 91% alcohol or other high-proof alcohol or create a cleaning solution made by mixing 30 ml of distilled white vinegar with 120ml of boiling water. An old household trick will do it as well – baking soda!

If you are using a cartridge or cartomizer, make sure to rinse your mouthpiece as well, it may have collected debris from vaping or condensation that has formed on the outside of the device during use.

The cleaner you get all of it, the better your vape is going to be!

Keep a vape drying rack in the room you use for vaping to allow any moisture or residue that may have formed after cleaning to evaporate.

Periodically wash your vaporizer, mouthpiece and cartridge/cartomizers with water and soap as well as wiping down the exterior of the device with alcohol wipes before putting it away.

You should also change out coils every few weeks when they start tasting burnt or using less than one coil per week if you are getting low on liquid so electronic cigarettes can continue working efficiently without degrading performance prematurely.

Taking good care of your device gives you more time to enjoy vaping!
