How To Clean A Vape Device: 6 Properly Ways!

Introduction

Regularly cleaning your vape device will improve performance, prolong its life, and maintain optimal flavour. To clean your vape devices you will need to have the following tools on hand:

• Paper towels/kitchen towels/facial tissues
• Water (preferably warm)
• Detergent
• Antibacterial cleaner
• Cotton swabs
• Alcohol

The equipment needs to be turned off before cleaning. Cleaning methods vary slightly for each type of equipment and are described step-by-step below.

How To Clean A Vape Device: Simple Step

1. Disposable vape cleaning

Disposable vapes (IGET bar 5000 puffs) can be discarded after use and do not require extensive cleaning. However, dust or debris may accumulate inside the mouthpiece.

Gently wipe the mouthpiece with a clean tissue or an alcohol-dampened cotton swab, or use an antibacterial spray to clean the entire device.

2. Vape pod cleaning

💦 Pod vape with built-in coil

Pod vape with built-in coils (IGET Bar Plus Pod NZ): it is not possible to clean the vape as a whole, just keep the mouthpiece and the part with the magnet clean. The method of cleaning the mouthpiece is the same as for disposable vapes.

💦 Pod vape system with replaceable coils

• Remove the vape pod and coil, and perform the procedure over a sink to prevent liquid spillage.
• Rinse the pod with warm water to remove residue.
• If there is stubborn dirt, add a small amount of detergent and rinse the foam thoroughly.
• Dry with kitchen paper and flick the cartridge to remove any internal water buildup.

3. Pod kit/vape kit cleaning

The pod kit (IGET EDGE LP10000) battery, cartridges and mouthpiece need to be cleaned.

• Battery: Clean with a dry cloth, do not use water.
• Cartridges and mouthpieces: rinse with warm water and dry safely before re-installing.

⚠️ Make sure the device is switched off and disconnected from the mains before cleaning.

4. Vape tank cleaning

The e-liquid tank, which holds both the vape juice and the hungry part that goes into your mouth, tends to get dirty and accumulate bacteria. With the following method, it will be cleaned again in 60 seconds.

💦 Standard flush (for relatively clean coils)

1. Disassemble the parts: Unscrew all parts of the tank: mouthpiece, coil, glass part, etc.
2. Warm water rinsing: Rinse gently with lukewarm water with a small amount of detergent to remove any residual e-liquid.
3. Drying: Absorb the water on the surface so far and dry it naturally in a ventilated place.
4. Assembly: Assemble all parts, start the coil and refill with e-juice.

💦 PG Flush

Soak the disassembled tank assembly in a bowl or cup of propylene glycol for 1-2 hours. Then stand it up so that it drips dry on a paper towel or napkin.

5. Cleaning mouthpiece

Regular cleaning of the mouthpiece not only improves hygiene standards but also dramatically improves the taste of your vaping. Here are the steps:

• Remove the mouthpiece carefully.
• Wipe the outside of the nozzle with a damp cloth or alcohol pad.
• Soak the mouthpiece in a mixture of warm water and a little vinegar for about 10 minutes to soften stubborn dirt.
• Rinse well with lukewarm water, then blot with paper towels and dry in a ventilated area.

⚠️ For non-removable nozzles (IGET halo kp3000) please skip the first step and start directly with surface cleaning.

6. Cleaning coils

Replaceable coils come in both replaceable and rebuildable types. Cleaning methods can also vary greatly.

💦 Replaceable coils

From a technical standpoint, the old coils used in sub-ohm tanks and clear atomizers can be cleaned, but the results of a thorough cleaning usually only extend their life by a few days.

The residue in the coils is difficult to remove completely, and they must be thoroughly dried after cleaning before they can be used again.

To extend the life of your device, try the following cleaning methods:

• Remove the coils from the reservoir and soak the coils for a couple of hours using vinegar, ethanol or cheap vodka.
• Rinse under tap/distilled water.
• Blow air into the open side of the coil to expel water from the wicking ports.
• Place it in a ventilated area to dry naturally.

💦 Rebuildable Coil

Following the steps below to deep clean rebuildable coils will not only extend the life of your device but also maintain flavour consistency:

• Remove the wick: carefully remove the wick from the coil to avoid damaging the coil structure.
• Dry burn cleaning: Set the power to 10-15w and gently press the ignition button to pulse the heat to carbonize and dislodge any residual vaping oils and loose dirt on the coil surface.
• Rinse the coil: Immerse the coil in water or rinse it with running water. If there is stubborn dirt, gently brush it off with the help of a toothbrush or special coil cleaning tool.
• Drying: Absorb the water on the coil surface with a cotton or microfiber cloth to ensure thorough cleaning.
• Natural drying: Place the coil in a ventilated area to ensure that it is completely dry before reinstalling and using it.

⚠️Do not use the coil when it is not completely dry, as this may cause equipment malfunction or affect performance.

If the coil has been damaged, visit an IGET vape near me store to pick up replacement parts or inquire about service.
