Take the tank assembly apart as much as possible so you’ll be able to clean each piece individually. Draw a diagram if you think it may be helpful during reassembly. Note that different devices will have different specific assemblies.
Use a faucet that provides a moderately powerful stream. If you clean your tank regularly and prevent e-juice from forming deposits within the tank, warm water will usually be enough to clean your tank.
Use a small microfiber cloth or clean toothbrush to wash each part of your tank assembly, especially those that have fine features such as threading.
Simply allow the tank and other pieces to air dry. Do not dry your tank with heat or direct sunlight, as these risk weakening or damaging some pieces.
While isopropyl rubbing alcohol (90%) also works well, it can be toxic if you don’t rinse and dry the tank extremely well after cleaning. Soap and other types of detergents are unnecessary when cleaning a vape tank and may leave behind unwanted residue.
You can purchase these machines from many vaping stores or online. You may also be able to take your equipment to a vaping store and have them clean your device. Do not allow parts that have plastic, rubber, or vinyl components to sit in alcohol for too long. Usually, one cycle in a cleaning machine will be sufficient to clean your tank, etc. Be sure to fully rinse and dry your tank after cleaning.
Even if your tank appears empty, e-juice from the previous load has formed a layer on the walls of the tank and is still contained in the wick and coil of your device. In order to remove the flavor, the tank must be cleaned.
If your tank includes o-rings, check them for damage or wear each time you clean the tank. Change the o-rings whenever you’re uncertain about their condition. If your vapor tastes burnt, even after a fresh cleaning, it’s likely time to replace the coil. Other signs that the coil or another piece may need to be replaced include less vapor coming through your device, any leaks, or an unsatisfactory vape.
