5 simple ways to clean a dirty vape tank

One thing you may have experienced when using a tank, clearomizer or all-in-one device, is that when switching flavors, you can still taste that previous juice lurking in the background.

Even if you change the coil head, the flavoring from your last juice might still be lingering in your device. This is especially true for tobacco, coffee, menthol, cinnamon and other dominant flavors such as melon, grape or licorice. Imagine trying to vape a grape-flavored coffee e-liquid.

Don’t worry. In this guide, we’ll show you five of the best ways to eliminate this issue for good. Luckily most tanks these days are easy to clean, if you know the right steps to take. We’re going to cover everything from your standard rinse some more advanced methods, so let’s get started!

1. The standard rinse

This is probably the most basic and common method of cleaning your tank. First you start by taking apart your tank into as many pieces as possible. You can also carefully remove the O-rings, which is where a lot of the old flavor gets trapped. Just be careful not to lose them!

Take your cup or bowl and fill it with water. Place it in the microwave for about two minutes. In the meantime, rinse the parts of your tank under the sink, to get the process started. Next, take out the cup or bowl from the microwave and place your disassembled tank inside of it.

Let it sit, until the water cools down, then give your tank one last rinse under the sink. Use a paper towel to gently and carefully dry your tank. Let it sit until completely dry. You can also use a blow dryer to speed up the process, but too much heat can potentially damage your o-rings.

2. The PG/VG soak… a deeper clean

If you don’t want to use regular water, you can actually soak your tank in propylene glycol. Simply fill up a bowl or cup with your unflavored PG, and let it soak. You could also use VG, but that would be a bit more difficult to clean your tank with, since it’s a much thicker liquid.

Once your tank is done soaking in PG, stand it up on a napkin and let it drip dry.This method is excellent for getting out that leftover flavor.

3. Vinegar, baking soda and ethanol (oh my!)

You can replace PG/VG with a few things that you might already have lying around the house…

Vinegar is a highly acidic cleaning agent but must be thoroughly rinsed to prevent its smell from lingering.

Baking soda is another good cleaning agent that can be used to get tanks sparkling again.

Ethanol, aka grain alcohol is yet another highly effective substance for cleaning. Don’t get this confused with Isopropyl alcohol. You can find a huge bottle of this stuff at your local liquor store.

Some vapers prefer using a little bit of dish soap or lemon juice with water instead. As long as you rinse all of these substances well, they are highly effective agents for cleaning your vape.

Vape Health Benefits

Many claim vaping, or using electronic cigarettes, to be a healthier choice than smoking cigarettes. Without words, the figure above explains one of the biggest reasons to choose vaping over smoking: CIGARETTES ARE TOXIC.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking harms nearly every organ in the body. The lungs take the most damage when a smoker inhales over 4,300 chemicals, including 69 carcinogens, or cancer causing chemicals, from a cigarette. In the figure above, the pink lungs and heart on the left are those of a non-smoker. The black lungs and yellow heart on the right are those of a daily smoker.

One in five deaths in the United States are smoking-related, about 443,000 Americans a year, including babies born prematurely due to prenatal maternal smoking and those inhaling second-hand carcinogens. Over 10 times more people have died prematurely from cigarette smoking than have died in all the wars in American history COMBINED. Smoking is estimated to increase the risk of coronary disease and stroke from 2 to 4 times, and of developing lung cancer by 25 times!
