How to Clean and Maintain Your TankUpdated 15 days ago

When to Clean Your Tank

• Every time you change your coil.
• When switching between significantly different e-liquid flavors (especially from strong flavors like menthol or cinnamon).
• If your tank has been sitting unused for an extended period.
• If you notice off flavors, reduced performance, or increased leaking.
• As a monthly maintenance routine regardless of the above.

Quick Rinse (For Routine Cleaning)

1. Empty any remaining e-liquid.
2. Disassemble the tank — separate the glass, base, and top cap.
3. Rinse each piece under warm running water for 30–60 seconds.
4. Shake off excess water.
5. Dry each piece thoroughly with a paper towel.
6. Let air dry on a paper towel for 1–2 hours until completely dry.
7. Reassemble and install a new coil.

Deep Clean (For Stubborn Residue or Flavor Ghosting)

1. Disassemble the tank completely.
2. Fill a bowl with warm water and let the tank components soak for 30 minutes.
3. For very stubborn residue, add a small amount of unflavored vodka or clear grain alcohol to the soaking water — it helps dissolve e-liquid residue. Rinse very thoroughly afterward.
4. Use a small bottle brush or cotton swab to clean the chimney and threads.
5. Rinse all components thoroughly under clean water.
6. Dry and air dry completely — at least 2 hours, overnight if possible.

O-Ring Maintenance

O-rings are the small rubber seals at each connection point. During cleaning, inspect them for cracks, deformation, or stretching. Apply a tiny amount of food-grade glycerin (VG works) to o-rings periodically to keep them supple and prevent cracking. Most tanks come with replacement o-rings in the packaging — keep these safe.

Glass Replacement

Tank glass gets scratched over time and can crack if dropped. Most tanks use standard glass that can be replaced. Contact us at [email protected] with your tank model and we'll help you find replacement glass if needed.
