Ways to clean your e-cigarette
No matter how expensive your e-cigarette is, you can't do without periodic cleaning of the main components of the device. When using the vape after a while on the spiral of the evaporator begins carbon formation. This plaque when heated emits a smell of burning, which significantly spoils the aroma of the escaping steam. Also, carbon deposits on the turns of the heating element interferes with normal heat transfer, as a result of which it overheats and can fail.

When you need to start cleaning vap
The parisler is required to closely monitor the operation of the device for soaring and pay attention to the slightest signs of irregularities in the operation of the electronic cigarette.There are several signs, when they appear, you need to start cleaning the gadget:
- the amount of steam decreased with a sufficient amount of liquid in the cartridge and with a well-charged battery;
- there was a burning taste when soaring;
- no steam is produced at all or given in small portions;
- electronic cigarette overheats;
- to make a drag, it is necessary to make greater efforts than was previously required.
The appearance of at least one of the listed symptoms is a signal to start cleaning the vape, which should be produced according to certain rules.
Evaporator cleaning methods
Caring for an atomizer (vaporizer) means washing it, cleaning it or burning it. This e-cigarette module should be cleaned not only for prophylaxis (should be carried out at least once a week), but also if you decide to change the taste of smoking manure.
Flushing
Before you start washing the atomizer, remove the wick from the helix and thoroughly blow the maiser to remove residual liquid. This is done from the side of contact going to the battery, because in the area of the place where the battery is connected, there is a special reservoir.The purpose of the latter, arranged according to the principle of the “non-spill” inkwell, is to collect the residual liquid and prevent it from entering the contact group. Therefore, it is possible to remove residual moisture by blowing only on this side of the Miser.
By the way, if a lot of slurry accumulates in the safety tank, the electronic cigarette starts to gurgle, which causes alarm among inexperienced bathers.
After purging, hold the part under a few minutes. warm water jet so that it flows through the evaporator. Now blow the mayser again and let it dry (with the contact upwards) overnight, and again blow it properly.
Cleaning
This procedure is more time consuming, and the need for it arises in the case of prolonged use of the gadget without preventive cleaning. As a result, a layer of soot is formed on the helix, which cannot be removed by ordinary washing.
Can be used to clean the “coked” heater. Coca-Cola or vinegar solution (1 tablespoon of vinegar 9% per 1 cup of water). Soak the maser in any of the above recommended solutions for several hours, or better at night, then rinse it with water, blow and dry,as described earlier.
There is another very effective cleaning method - ultrasonic bath. It can easily be purchased at online stores, and it is not expensive. According to user feedback, this is the best way to prevent pollution in masers.
Burn spiral
This is enough risky procedure, and it is recommended to apply it only to experienced vapers, since in this way it is possible to finally “kill” the evaporator. Its essence lies in the fact that, after heating the Miser spiral, is red-hot, get rid of soot on it.
In some cases, this is the only method that allows you to clean the “coked” heating element.
The burning procedure is as follows:
- remove the wick and rinse the maser under running warm water, then blow it;
- screw the module to the battery pack;
- press the power button for 4-5 seconds, but no more;
- the procedure is recommended to repeat from 5 to 10 times until the coils are clean of carbon;
- after complete cooling of the maiser, blow it through.
After completing the cleaning procedure, insert a new wick into a helix, wet it with liquid and assemble the device.After assembling the device and refilling the cartridge of liquid, you can begin to hover. How to burn through the heating element of the atomizer clearly demonstrates the following video.
How to clean vap with clearomizer
Clearomizer is a structure in which both the cartridge (tank) and the atomizer are combined. To clean the clearomizer, it must be disconnected from the battery module and disassembled. Since there are a large number of models of masers, the principles of their maintenance in each case may differ.
Kangertech evod
To clean the clearomizer from an eGo threaded Kangertech Evod electronic cigarette, do the following:
- disconnect the heater unit from the tank;
- wipe this part of the Miser well with a tissue to remove any liquid residues;
- take off silicone seal and disconnect the top of the atomizer;
- after that, unscrew the heating element with the wick;
- Using tweezers, pull out the bottom of the atomizer.
- do the same to extract rubber insertwhich separates the contacts of the spiral from the circuit;
- after removing the tab, blot it well with a napkin to remove contamination;
- then, using the same tweezers, remove the heating element from the base by pulling the wick;
- Now, with the help of a napkin it is necessary to clean the base;
All parts of the atomizer can also be washed in warm water without using detergents, and then dried with a hair dryer.
If the coil was formed soot, then it can be removed with vinegar, as described above, or calcined using a turbo lighter, which does not give soot.
When cleaning a clearomizer you need to replace the wick. In this clearomizer, a cord of silica is used as a wick. You can buy it in the store where you bought vape or similar, selling accessories for electronic cigarettes. It is passed through the helix and, together with the latter, is inserted into the base, so that the fluid supply holes do not overlap.
After fully assembling the evaporator unit, cut off the excess cord with scissors flush with the case.
Now you can fill the tank with liquid and collect clearomizer.
I just 2 / melo 2
The Meiser model Eleaf I just 2 / melo 2 is slightly different from the clearomizer discussed above, so cleaning it looks like this.
- Unscrew the liquid tank from the atomizer.
- Now unscrew the evaporator itself from the case of the mod.
- Remove the top of the atomizer - it is pulled out quite simply, without resorting to using tweezers.
- After, you need to pull out rubber sleeve.
- Next, in the hole you will see antennae heating elementthat need a little preload. Using a thin object, push the helix (from the side where the elastic was) to the outside. The housing in which the heating element was located should be cleaned with a cotton swab or rinsed with water, then blown and dried.
- After extracting the spiral, you will see that it is wound around it. cotton (cotton). Remove the wick from the heating element.
- If the wick is clogged or slightly burnt, it must be replaced by cutting a strip of the same width out of a cotton pad and wrapping the spiral around it.
- Pay attention to the turns of the heating element. If carbon is visible on them, then heat the heating element with a lighter (it is better to use a turbo lighter). The coils should be heated until all the raid on them has burned, and it does not glow red hot.
- Reassemble in the reverse order. Do not forget to split the legs of the spiral. rubber sleeveotherwise there will be a short circuit.Also, after fully assembling the evaporator, soak the cotton with the slurry soaring. If you do not, then after you turn on the vape, the dry wick will start to burn.
It is necessary to burn the heating element when you feel a burning taste while steaming or notice that steam is released in a small amount (provided that the battery is charged and there is liquid in the tank).
It is recommended to replace the wick at least once a week.
Ego-t
The order of maintenance of EGO-T clearomizer is as follows.
- To start cleaning this clearomizer, it must also be separated from the battery pack, and then wipe the mod contacts well with a napkin. Over time, carbon deposits are formed on them.
- Next, take a clearomizer ego-t and unscrew the mouthpiece.
- Having laid a wipe for the escaping slurry, unscrew the heating element of the evaporator.
- After unscrewing the heating element of the atomizer, the evaporator itself will fall out on a napkin, which is clearly visible wick cord.
- Release the evaporator and wick antennae from the old liquid using a napkin, then unscrew its bottom part.
- Using a cotton pad or cloth, blot all the remaining liquid on the part.At this stage, the cleaning of the evaporator is completed.
- Further, it is necessary to clean the heating element from carbon. Wipe it should be from the side where it connects to the mode, and from the opposite. Be careful while rubbing, do not lose silicone sealdressed on top of the heater.
- The next step is to clean the fluid container. It can be rinsed in warm water and wiped inside with a cotton pad.
- Finally, it is necessary to rinse and wipe the mouthpiece (it also has a silicone pad).
Remember, you can only wash the body of the evaporator, the mouthpiece and the tank for sludge under running water. The remaining parts of the clearomizer cannot be moistened.
After rinsing, first flush the parts, then remove all remaining liquid with a tissue, cotton swab or cotton pad.
The assembly is performed in the reverse order, after which the ego-t e-cigarette will be ready for soaring.
There are other types of clearomizers, since technical progress does not stand still. But the methods of their cleaning are not significantly different from the ones above and are intuitive. In extreme cases, you can see the instructions for the electronic cigarette you bought.
