Maintaining Your Vape: Easy Coil & Battery Cleaning Tips

Key Takeaways

Cleaning Coils and Batteries: Cleaning the coil and battery is more complex than cleaning the tank and mouthpiece since they cannot be submerged in water.

When to Replace Coils: Coils last 2-4 weeks. Signs that a coil needs replacement include a burnt taste, weaker flavor, reduced vapor production, darkening, or leaking.

Cleaning the Battery Mod: Clean the outer part of the battery mod (not the internal battery) with a cloth or antibacterial wipe to remove dirt and germs. Avoid water or submerging the mod.

Maintenance: A clean device ensures better performance, giving you more enjoyable vaping sessions for months to come.

How to clean your vape device – Part 2

Your vape is getting grubby and needs a clean. Luckily, this is a very simple process, and in no time you’ll be back to enjoying your favourite e-liquid through a clean and fresh device.

Last time we looked at how to get your tank and mouthpiece sparkly clean and hygienic. Let’s take a look at the coil and battery now.

Cleaning coils and batteries is a little more complicated than cleaning the tank and mouthpiece; you obviously can’t simply dunk them in water.

How do I know my coil needs cleaning or replacing?

A coil lasts between two and four weeks, and you’ll know it’s time, because the e-liquid flavour will taste slightly burnt, and will be a lot weaker. You may also notice that there’s not as much vapour being produced, and the coil may look darker, or leak. This is the time to replace it entirely.

And the battery?

When talking about cleaning the ‘battery’, we mean the chunky mod section of your vape, not the actual battery inside it. This section doesn’t need as thorough cleaning as the tank, but it is nice to spruce it up every now and then.

Now it goes without saying that you won’t clean this in the same way as the tank – submerging the battery (and all of the electrical components) in water is definitely a very bad idea!

All you need to do is wipe down the outside of your mod with a clean cloth or antibacterial wipe, to remove any dirt and germs – nothing more is needed.

Your clean and shiny vaping device is now ready to give you many more months of flavourful fun!
