5 Do's And Don'ts Of Vape Equipment Maintenance

1. Do Look After Your Vape Tank

Cleaning your tank regularly with a cleaning solution specifically designed for cleaning vapes is the best option. Unflavored alcohol is one of the best cleaning solutions. 

Keep in mind that both isopropyl alcohol and water can damage the coils, so don't use them to clean your tanks. You can find out the best brands for cleaning vape tanks from your local budtender. The coil, juice, and connection to the electric element are all found inside the vape tank.

Keeping your tank clean is very important, and always remember to keep your tank topped up with liquid. After prolonged use, a low level of fluid in your tank can cause the atomizer in the vape to burn out as it can impart an unpleasant taste to the liquid when inhaled.

2. Do Make Your Liquid Last

E-liquids should not be exposed to direct sunlight or direct heat. Heat will affect the taste of your liquid, and the thinned fluid will leak from the reservoir to the top of your battery as a result. To prevent it from running out quickly, you can keep your e-liquid in the fridge until you need it to keep your e-liquid fresh and flavorful.

It would help if you adequately stored the vape juice to ensure that you get the best vaping experience. Store e-juice in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use it before it expires. It's a good idea to clean any storage bottles containing vape juice regularly before adding new flavors to avoid cross-contamination this way. 

3. Don't Neglect Your Vape Battery

When recharging, it's best not to wait until the battery is completely dead before you charge it, but rather to charge it at different intervals. Your battery will last longer this way, and make sure it's regularly checked for any e-liquid contact on the top. 

In the case of a new vaping device, you might be tempted to use it continuously until the battery dies. However, please don't do this as it can significantly decrease the battery life. 

When e-liquid comes into contact with your battery, it can cause damage in the long run. If your battery terminals get dirty, you can clean them with cotton wool. The cotton wool doesn't need any solution, so make sure it's dry before using it.

4. Do Know When To Charge And Clean Your Coils

Your vapor will taste the best when you replace the coils regularly; you will notice that the flavor is lacking or feel a burned sensation when inhaling. This is when the coils need to be changed.

Coils can be categorized into two categories: coil heads for tanks containing an absorbent wick and coils for rebuildable vape devices that require installation. 

Some irreplaceable coils and heads are inexpensive, but they usually only last two weeks on average. The coil can be cleaned with a simple soak and rinse. That's two to three hours of soaking in vinegar followed by rinsing with distilled water.

5. Don't Drop Your Vape Constantly

Constantly dropping a vape can damage its internal connections, and the shock can cause the links or connections in the tank to break. You can also lower the IP rating of your device by dropping it. 

Ingress protection codes or IP's measure how well products are protected against moisture and solid matter during the testing phase. A deteriorated quality can allow water, dust, or other substances to enter your device or harm you. 

Conclusion on Vape Equipment Maintenance

Even though vape pens are quite expensive to buy, they can be an excellent investment if maintained properly. By following these dos and don'ts, you can ensure your vape juice tastes excellent, and your equipment is working correctly. 

Taking care of the vape device you purchase and use frequently is essential. Many high-quality vape juices don't leave behind residue, but with time this residue can build up, leading to nasty gunk in your device. This can be avoided by regularly cleaning the vape.
