Learning how to clean your vape pen is a crucial step to enjoying the vaping pen more. It helps prolong its lifespan and ensure that it is not the channel through which infections get to you. A vape pen may be of high quality, but negligence and ignorance can make it quickly turn into a hazardous product that you are better off without. This happens when a lot of dirt accumulates because you are not cleaning it properly or disinfecting it after use.
Fortunately, all these can be prevented by practicing a few hygienic steps to clean the pen.
1. Dismantle the Vape Pen
Whether you are using disposable Cali pods or a refillable vape pen, it is necessary to consider regular cleaning. This not only ensures that you are hygienic but also guarantees great results since you are assured of cleanliness. Throat and other related infections will not get near you, at least not those that are triggered by an unhygienic vape pen. When cleaning the pen, you first need to start by dismantling it, just as it was when you first purchased it.
Dislodging the various components exposes any hidden dirt and microorganisms that may not be visible. Be careful when unscrewing the different parts and remember how each component was before, especially if you do not have a manual to refer to. Handle the heating chamber and the mouthpiece carefully since any slight mistakes on these two components will render the pen useless. Just because you are cleaning the pen does not mean destroying it.
2. Use a Brush to Clean the Pen.
Note that when buying the vape pen the first time, it comes with a brush. This brush is not an accessory without meaning. It’s included in the package to help you with cleaning. Use the brush to remove all residues and dry particles on the pen. Some of these tiny particles are stubborn and can be problematic. Use water where necessary, making sure not to allow water to get into areas that could be destroyed by it. Also, avoid electric parts that easily get damaged by water.
3. Focus on Cleaning the Mouthpiece
This may seem obvious but do not ignore it. Remember that the mouthpiece is probably the most used part of the entire vape pen. It also has direct contact with your mouth and can be a dangerous inlet of harmful substances that can affect your health negatively.
Wash it separately if it is detachable. If not, run some water through it to ensure that it is cleaned. If both options are not viable, use a cotton swab with some disinfectant to clean the area thoroughly, ensuring that all particles are eliminated. The important thing is to be careful not to leave any particles behind.
4. Reassemble the Pen
Once you are satisfied with how the different parts have been cleaned, carefully assemble each element as it was before. The assumption is that you did not lose any of the components needed to ensure the vape pen works perfectly. Use a manual in case you forgot how the vape pen was before. You can always tell when a vape pen was assembled properly by how it behaves once you test it. A poorly assembled vape pen will not work when you try to use it again. Check to be sure that everything is attached correctly as it should.
5. Light the Pen Up
Once you are confident with the assembling, test the pen for functionality by lighting it. If all is done properly, it will light up. Do not panic when it fails to restart immediately. It would help if you pressed the micro button a few times for it to continue. Once it does, you are good to go.
You will notice that it no longer emits the strange smell it did before, especially if you had taken a while before cleaning it. To get rid of pungent smells and other unpleasant smells that result from accumulated vape juice, make sure to clean the vape pen regularly. After all, it is a health precaution that ensures you enjoy vaping without putting your life at risk of avoidable infections. Make a habit of cleaning the vape pen as many times as you can.
Final Thoughts
Vaping is excellent until you start getting infections that you are not sure of. It is possible to suffer from constant mouth sores, throat infections, and other related conditions simply because you use a dirty vape pen. When the vaping liquid and dirt combination accumulates over time, it becomes a hazardous situation that requires immediate intervention. With such knowledge, users should know that cleaning a vape pen is an advantage to them. Always use warm water to clean the pen and for a quick cleaning session, consider using q-tips as they will get the work done before you get to proper cleaning.
