Taking Apart Your Device - Step by Step
Removing all the necessary parts of your vape carefully is essential for cleaning and keeping the device in a workable condition. With a Sub-Ohm tank for example, you have the following components:
Deep Clean Your Vape
The last thing you want is the remains of a Platinum E-Liquid with a Tobacco flavour lingering with your new fruit flavoured e-liquid. We’ve all been there! Cleaning your coil can be done in several different ways, but the method depends on how much time you have. The other trick is doing it well enough without putting your health at risk.
How Long Should I Let My Vape Coil Soak?
There is no right or wrong answer. Soaking depends on the amount of time you have before using your next e-liquid. You can start by leaving your device for up to ten minutes to soak the parts individually. However, if left to soak for a few hours, expect better results and the easier removal of certain stains.
How Long Do Vape Coils Last?
Although you can clean coils and tanks, this will only prolong the life of them briefly. Understand that if the coils are burnt beyond repair, no amount of cleaning will help. If discolouration or that burnt taste persists, seek a replacement immediately. With a multipack of compatible coils for your device, a burnt coil is no longer an issue.
How Do You Remove Gunk From the Coil?
This can often happen to rebuildable coils, because advanced vapers tend to go with thicker and higher ratio VG over PG e-liquids, sometimes even 100% VG for the ultimate cloud chasing experience. To try to remove any gunk from your coil before giving them a clean, which is instructed above, dry burn them briefly.
Can You Clean a Burnt Coil?
You can attempt to clean a burnt coil, but only to stall its inevitable end. Chances are even after cleaning them the best you can, they will still need to be replaced if the bad taste remains. If you have an ultrasonic cleaner like a jewellery machine, that’s the best way to know for sure if it can be cleaned after burning the coil.
Can You Clean Coils With Rubbing Alcohol?
Ethanol is the best pure alcohol example to use for cleaning your tank or coils. A cheap vodka soak can also work wonders. However, we advise against using rubbing alcohols like Isopropyl. If any remains on your key components, it could not only damage your health but also alter the device flavour production significantly.
