You just received your new vape kit and are excited to unbox it? You’re excited about your shiny new box mod, the most advanced device on the market? And two months later, that box mod is dirty, scratched and doesn’t work as well as it did when you first got it, and you realize you have no idea how to maintain it! This situation may sound familiar if you own dozens of different vapes. It’s okay, we’ve all been there!
To ensure that your device (mech mod, box mod or vape pen) will work stably for a long time, always remember to maintain it regularly. In addition, ensuring that the device is always clean can help you always get the best vapor and flavor.
Basic structure of vape mod
To understand and perform these maintenance steps, you need to understand the basic structure of the device. Although they come in many different shapes, most vpae mods consist of three main parts.
Atomizer : The part that holds and vaporizes essential oils. Atomizers come in many forms such as RDA, RDTA, RTA and tank.
Coil: The part responsible for vaporizing essential oils.
Battery : This is the power source of the device. The battery can be attached to the body of the vape pen. With a box mod, the battery is contained in the battery compartment.
Box mods have a similar structure, they are larger in size and have higher power. Thanks to that, box mods can create more smoke, have a stronger throat hit and smoother flavor.
When do you need to clean your equipment?
Cleaning the burner head is a must before changing the essential oil flavor, so that the new essential oil does not mix with the old essential oil. You should make it a habit to clean the burner head once a week.
Of course, any time you find your equipment isn't performing as well as you'd like, a thorough cleaning and maintenance can be the first step in getting it back up and running.
How to clean the burner
We want to get the best taste from a new bottle of essential oil, but sometimes we forget to add new essential oil to the burner without cleaning all the remaining old essential oil. To avoid the two flavors of old and new essential oils mixing together, you should clean the burner first. A simple cleaning step is enough, but occasionally clean the burner with alcohol to remove more stubborn stains.
Simple cleaning method:
- Pour warm water into a clean bowl.
- Remove the burner from the machine.
- Wipe or pour out any remaining essential oil in the reservoir.
- Remove the burner.
- Place the burner parts in a bowl of water.
- Clean the parts thoroughly. If your burner is very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
- Dry parts with a clean towel.
- Reassemble the burner and equipment.
Steps to clean the burner with alcohol
- Remove the burner from the machine and wipe off any remaining essential oil.
- Remove the burner.
- Vodka is the best essential oil cleaner. Soak a rag in vodka and wipe the burner surface until clean.
- Wipe clean and rinse with warm water.
- Let dry.
- Reinstall the tank.
How to maintain equipment
Now you know how to clean your atomizer when necessary. Knowing how to maintain your device is part of being a vaper. You will still make mistakes and learn new ways to handle situations as you become a more seasoned vaper. Here are some tips to help you maintain your device.
- Maintain a certain level of essential oil: do not let the essential oil in the burner run out, always make sure the device has enough essential oil during operation. Also do not try to fill the essential oil too full to avoid leakage.
- Ensure the essential oil storage environment: avoid exposing your essential oil to excessive heat or direct sunlight. High temperatures will dilute the essential oil and easily lead to essential oil leakage, affecting the operation of the device.
- Store your device safely. When not in use, store your device in a safe place to avoid unfortunate accidents. It is best to buy a case to store your device when you travel or when you do not use it for a long time.
