How To Clean Your Byfavorites Vape
Cleaning your Favorites 2g Disposable vape isn’t just about maintenance—it’s about making sure every hit is smooth, flavorful, and just how you like it. If your vape starts tasting off or seems like it’s not working as well as it used to, it’s probably time to give it a good clean. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to get your vape back to its best.
What You’ll Need:
- Warm water
- Rubbing alcohol (for tough residue)
- Cotton swabs
- Microfiber cloth or paper towels
- A small brush (like an old toothbrush)
1. Take Your Vape Apart
Start by turning off your vape (obviously). Then, take it apart piece by piece: the tank, mouthpiece, and coil should all come off easily. Set the battery aside—do not get that part wet. Pay attention to how everything fits together so you’re not stuck later when it’s time to reassemble.
2. Clean the Tank
This is where all the old juice builds up, so a good clean here can make a big difference.
- Rinse: Give it a quick rinse under warm water to get rid of any leftover e-liquid.
- Deep Clean: If you’ve got some stubborn gunk, soak the tank pieces in warm water for about 10-15 minutes.
- Scrub: Use a cotton swab or brush to clean inside the tank. Don’t be too rough, just enough to get rid of any residue.
- Alcohol for Stubborn Spots: If there’s still some sticky buildup, dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and go over the tough spots. Make sure to rinse it well afterward to get rid of any alcohol taste.
3. Mouthpiece Cleanup
This part can collect a surprising amount of dirt, saliva, and old juice.
- Rinse it well: Run the mouthpiece under warm water.
- Swab the Inside: Use a cotton swab to really get inside and clean it out.
- Optional Alcohol: If it’s extra gross, use a little rubbing alcohol on a swab, but rinse it thoroughly afterward to avoid any weird aftertaste.
4. What About the Coil?
The coil is tricky. If it’s looking burnt or clogged, you’re probably better off replacing it. But if you’re not ready for that yet:
- Rinse Gently: Run the coil under warm water to clean out the gunk. Let it dry completely before using it again (at least 24 hours).
- Replacement: If your coil’s been in use for a while, cleaning might not save it. It’s usually better to just swap it for a fresh one.
5. Clean the Battery Area
- Dry Clean Only: Use a cloth to wipe down the battery connections. Even if it doesn’t look dirty, e-liquid can build up here and mess with the connection.
- Check for Leaks: Make sure there’s no juice leaking from the tank into the battery area. If you spot any liquid, wipe it up right away.
6. Dry Everything Thoroughly
- Patience Pays Off: Let everything air dry completely, especially the tank. Any leftover moisture can mess with how your vape works.
- Speed Up with a Cloth: You can use a microfiber cloth to dry things faster, but avoid paper towels—they can leave behind little fibers.
7. Reassemble and Test
- Put It All Back Together: Carefully reassemble your vape, making sure everything fits snugly. Don’t forget to prime your coil if you’ve replaced it (just add a few drops of e-liquid to the cotton before you start vaping).
- Test Run: Take a few short puffs to make sure everything’s working properly before diving back into full sessions.
Pro Tips:
- Clean Regularly: If you’re vaping every day, try to clean your vape every week or two. It’ll keep the flavors fresh and the device working longer.
- Dry Everything: Don’t rush the drying process—water and electronics don’t mix.
- Traveling? Clean your vape before you pack it up. It’ll prevent leaks and sticky messes in your bag.
Taking a little time to clean your vape will keep it running smoothly and tasting great. Plus, there’s nothing like that first hit from a freshly cleaned device!
