If you have invested in your vaping device, you want to make sure that you can use it for a long time. You also want to make sure that you are enjoying your device to its full capacity. Cleaning your e-cigarette is the best way to make sure that it would last longer and give you maximum enjoyment.
If you feel like your device is not working optimally, it is more likely that it needs a little maintenance. E-cigarettes have several parts that need extra care. The e-cig’s main device, battery, and e-liquid should benefit from regular care. Proper maintenance will help you enjoy your e-cig, giving you the best airflow and flavour possible.
Store your e-cig properly
Your e-cig is an electronic device, and you need to make sure that you put it in appropriate storage. Remember to keep your device away from water or other liquids, as well as extreme cold or heat. If you are not using the device, keep it upright as much as possible.
Caring for the battery
Improper storing, handling, and using the battery can drastically affect the function of your device. Make sure that your battery is always clean before using it, as dirt can prevent it from making a clean connection with your device.
To make sure that the connection points are clean, wipe it using a clean, dry cloth. Remember not to use water or other cleaning solutions on any part of your device. Draining your battery to zero per cent is also not advisable. Keeping a small amount of energy in your battery will prolong its life. Furthermore, keep your battery away from heat, such as prolonged exposure to sunlight and hot metal objects.
Proper storage for your e-liquid
It is important to keep your e-liquids, cartridges, or capsules away from children and pets. You can maximize the shelf life of your e-liquids by storing it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Too much exposure to heat ruins the quality and flavour of e-liquids. If you are stocking up on e-liquids, make sure to use them before the best date indicated on their boxes.
Keep the e-liquid at a proper level.
Be attentive that the e-liquid in your tank is at a good level. Do not let the e-liquid drop too low or overfill it. If the level of your liquid is too low, it will not reach the vaporizer. On the other hand, overfilling your tank may damage your device.
Improper levels of liquid may result in an unpleasant taste of vape. I may also burn out your atomizer. To avoid it from happening, use a closed tank system that is transparent or at least has a window to let you see how much liquid you have left in the tank.
Make sure that each component is installed correctly.
Most parts of an e-cigarette screw together. While making each part secured, remember not to overtight these parts. Screwing your battery, atomizer, or tank tighter than needed may damage the device. Doing so may strip the threading, making these parts harder to remove, or you won’t screw it back together at all. When putting the components back, make sure that it is just tight enough until they are secured.
Proper maintenance will keep your device functioning in optimal condition. Appropriate storage and usage of your device will allow you to enjoy it for more years.
