How To Properly Clean Your Electronic Cigarette
Our buyers spend too much time and money choosing the proper mod to not clean them properly. Since these
highly customizable devices can easily get sticky from liquid residue or have their internals damaged, we’ve
provided the following guide on how to properly clean a kit, allowing maximum vapor and the freshest taste
from eLiquids possible.
Knowing When To Clean
Knowing when to clean your kit isn’t quite as easy to identify as a dirty car or seeing a sink full of
dishes. When you notice any of the following circumstances happening, a thorough clean should be top
priority:
Wet Mods
No matter the flavor, VG/PG ratio, or nicotine level, tanks tend to leak from the airflow holes of
your
tank. This can drip down and cause the mod to get wet, which may damage the internals and can
ultimately kill the mod.
Leaky Tank
Another cause of leaky tanks can be your atomizer head. If eLiquids do not heat up enough in the
atomizer
head to be properly vaporized, this can cause spit back and leaks through the airflow hole.
Always clean
out the chimney and airflow hole before clearing up leaks.
Coil Gunk
For RDA/RDTA users, seeing gunk clogging up your coil is an obvious sign your coils should be
cleaned.
However, more than likely, the quickest fix in this specific case is either firing only the coil or
buying a set of prebuilt coils.

Read the following steps and you’ll be on your way to a flawless vaping experience.
Step 1: Take Apart Your Setup
Once cleaning is realized, the first step is to disassemble your setup, removing the atomizer head,
drip
tip,
and glass from the tank and the tank from the battery. Once you remove the tank, be sure to take the
tank
itself apart as well. If you’re using a beauty ring for aesthetic purposes, you’ll need to remove
that
too.
Step 2: Assemble Cleaning Materials
Once your setup is completely disassembled, you’ll want to gather some paper towel, isopropyl
alcohol
(preferably 99%),and a few q-tips, to help the cleaning process.
Step 3: Clean The Tank
From there, take a piece of paper towel and remove any wetness or stickiness from your tank pieces,
glass
tube, and drip tip. To get them clean as possible, many vapers use boiling water (some add soap) to
clean
them first, then apply isopropyl alcohol to finish the job. However, if you use alcohol, it’s
extremely
important users allow time for the isopropyl alcohol to evaporate before moving forward. For smaller
areas
such as the inside of an airflow base, dip a q-tip into the isopropyl alcohol and clean the inside
of
the
airflow base with the q-tip.
Step 4: Clean The Mod
Cleaning the mod is a lot simpler. As long as no eLiquid has seeped into the internals, you can
simply
moisten a paper towel with some isopropyl alcohol and wipe down the exterior of the mod.To clean
the
510
connector, dip a q-tip into a little bit of isopropyl alcohol and gently clean the 510 connector
pin. As
with the tank, allow time for the isopropyl alcohol to evaporate before use.
Step 5: Reassemble Your Setup
Now that everything is clean, install a new atomizer head in your tank, reassemble the tank and
install
it
back onto your mod. Insert a battery into your mod (if applicable) and fill your tank with
your favorite
eLiquid flavor from
our full selection of eLiquids. For replacement atomizer heads, coils, cotton,
