Dear all vaping lovers,
Of all the topics that can and should be discussed openly regarding the
care and handling of your electronic cigarettes, one of the most
confusing and daunting aspects would be the cleaning and maintenance of
your atomizer. After all, next to having a properly charged battery, a
fully functioning and properly cared-for atomizer can make or break your e-smoking experience. You’ve taken great care to choose just the right
e-cig, now it’s time to make sure that you spend a little time every
day, ensuring that you get the most out of your choice.
Just like the outrageous and boldly fictitious claims of many of the e-cig manufacturers, there are just as many farces concerning the proper
way to clean and handle the atomizers, and while I can only speak from
my experiences on the subject, hopefully this advice will serve to make
your time with your current hardware as long and fruitful as possible.
1.Keep your battery/atomizer adapter sites clean
A commonly overlooked aspect of cleaning your e-cig setup
is making sure your battery/atomizer adapter sites remain clean, dry and
clear of fluid or buildup. These are electrical connections, people.
They require just as much care as any other electrical link-up in order
to perform at their peak.
HOW?
When cleaning the connection points, take a lint free cloth or smooth
tissue and gently clean in and around the threads that connect your
battery and your atomizer. Make sure that any cloth you use is clean and
does not have a tendency to snag or tear apart. The last thing you need
is random threads and paper towel particles clinging to the connection
area. This not only can cause electrical current disruptions, but can
also be very hazardous if any of those particles were to drift or be
wiped inside the atomizer connection, into the heating coil housing.
After making sure the outer connections are clean, take a fresh tissue
or untarnished area of your lint free cloth and gently dab and wipe the
area around the atomizer’s vent hole. Make sure not to leave any liquid
or material on the connection.
2. Overnight storage but
regular purging atomizer housing and coil chamber.
Another valuable lesson in atomizer care is overnight storage and
regular purging of your atomizer housing and coil chamber. While this
might sound complicated, it’s something that everyone can and should do.
Simply put, throughout the day, liquid is constantly draining into your
coil chamber. Even if you are very careful to not overfill or flood
your atomizer, some fluid will make it in there. Fluid left inside the
atomizer continually can cause problems with stale-tasting vaping, as
well as a buildup of un-atomized particles on and around the coil,
something that can definitely cause a clog and degradation of components
if left unattended.
HOW?
A. One theory for clearing out your atomizer is to disassemble your
e-cigarette, and place your atomizer, battery connection side UP (or at a
slight angle) and allow the unvaporized juice to drain onto a piece of
tissue paper or absorbent cloth. When left overnight, you will be able
to see that liquid has collected on the tissue.
B. Another, more proactive way to expedite this process is to take your
atomizer, place it over your cloth, battery connection side up again,
and gently blow into the hole where the atomizer and battery couple. As
you breathe into the hole, you will hear a light gurgling sound as the
any additional liquid is being cleared from the heating coil. As you’re
doing this, pay close attention to your breathing, as you don’t want to
inadvertently force saliva into the coil housing. After every two or
three breaths, LIGHTLY tap the atomizer onto the cloth or tissue. If any
fluid remained in the atomizer from the day’s use, you will see it
slowly begin to collect on the tissue. Repeat this until you’re no
longer hearing a gurgling sound when breathing into the connector. After
you’ve completed this, place the atomizer (standing up) on a clean
piece of tissue, as additional liquid will continue to drain down the
atomizer wall.
3. Other methods to clean atomizer
Some advocate pushing a piece of cloth or the corner of your tissue
slightly into the atomizer in order to soak up any remaining liquid. I
find this to be problematic, especially with individuals that are new to e-cigarettes, in that while doing this, you might be inadvertently
leaving fuzz or tissue particles inside your atomizer housing. It’s
probably best that you do what you can without actually placing any
foreign object INSIDE the atomizer. You can effectively clean your
atomizer without it, and you’ll avoid any complications.
Always do what you can to steer clear of invasive means of taking care
of electronic equipment. In the event of an unforeseen hardware failure
early on, you will be able to report that you’ve cared for your
components in a way that does not, in most cases, void the part’s
warranty. This is really important when all you want is a replacement
part, not a game of inquisition from your e-cig supplier or vendor.
Message to audience
While my methods are BY FAR not the only way to go about taking care of
your electronic cigarette, they are the very cautious and thoughtful. By
following many of these simple guidelines, you’ll be able to
effectively care for your new equipment, while ensuring fewer mishaps
that could prematurely and irrevocably separate you from your new,
favorite hobby.
