The right way to clean your vaporizer – instructions & tips for “clean vaping”

It should go without saying that your vaporizer needs regular cleaning. But how does it work & what should you pay attention to? We would like to introduce you to step-by-step instructions for daily and deep cleaning that contain important tips to keep your vape shining like new. We also reveal how you can recover the resin left behind after cleaning the vaporizer.

Why is it important to clean a vaporizer regularly?

Through use, the warm vapor condenses through contact with the cooler elements of the vaporizer and over time, sticky, resinous deposits form. This causes the airways to become clogged and the performance of the vape decreases over time. This shortens the functionality and lifespan of the vaporizer. Through regular cleaning you can positively influence the quality of the steam and its performance. Once you notice a change in taste or performance, it's time to clean your vape. Depending on the intensity of use, this should take place every 4 days (heavy use) or once a week (normal use).

Cleaning a vaporizer step-by-step – what needs to be taken into account?

We recommend removing the herbal residue with isopropyl alcohol. However, this solvent is very strong and should not come into contact with all vaporizer materials. Basically, plastic or plastic on the base and vape head should only be wiped with alcohol instead of inserted. We advise you to always wear gloves during this time. If you want to clean your vaporizer with a home remedy, it's best to use vodka. Stay away from alcohol and ethanol! These liquids take a long time to evaporate and are harmful to health if inhaled. To keep your vape pen clean for a long time, we recommend a short daily cleaning.

You need these utensils for daily cleaning of your vaporizer:

Isopropyl alcohol / rubbing alcohol
Vaporizer cleaning kit
cotton swab

Quickly clean your vaporizer:

Let your vaporizer cool down. Then disassemble it into its individual parts
Brush all herbs and flower residues out of the herb chamber and the sieve with a small cleaning brush
Now dip the cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol and clean the mouthpiece and sieve.
To clean the chamber if there are stubborn residues, the cotton swab should only be damp when cleaning so that no liquid gets into the electronics

Depending on how often you use your vaporizer, you should thoroughly clean your device every 1 – 2 weeks.

You need these utensils for deep cleaning:

isopropyl alcohol
Plastic containers
cleaning brush
cotton swab

6 easy steps to clean your vaporizer:

Let your vaporizer cool down. Then disassemble it into its individual parts (remember the composition!)
Place items such as mouthpieces, screens, and chambers in a plastic container
Cover the parts with isopropyl alcohol for about 30 minutes
In the meantime, clean the chamber with isopropanol using a (slightly damp) cotton swab. Make sure that no liquid gets into the electronics.
Now rinse all parts with clean water (a brush helps with stubborn incrustations)
Allow to air dry

Our advice: The alcohol with the resin residue can be collected in a glass and used multiple times. You can find out how you can get resin from rubbing alcohol further down in the article. Important! In order to remove alcohol residues, the vape should first be “evaporated”, regardless of which cleaning method you have chosen. To do this, set the evaporator with the empty herb chamber to a low heat (at least 100 °C) and operate the evaporator for a few minutes.

Cleaning the vaporizer and extracting the resin – how does it work?

You can do this very simple (but also very time-consuming) procedure either after each use of the isopropyl or if you have used the alcohol several times and there are more resin deposits in it. Leave the open jam jar in a dry, well-ventilated and safe place for about a week. The cleaning alcohol will then have evaporated and you can remove the remaining resin or oil with a small spatula Place on a drip pad and evaporate.
