When does an electronic cigarette need cleaning and how to do it?

When purchasing an electronic cigarette, many people forget that this device, like all devices of systematic operation, needs special care. If you do not know how to clean an electronic cigarette, after a short time of its use you can encounter the accumulation of burning on individual elements.

This is accompanied by a decrease in the functionality of the device and often leads to its breakdown. The fact that the handling of a cigarette is carried out in accordance with all the rules does not matter. If you do not clean the device in time, a special liquid may leak onto the battery, clog holes and interfere with the atomizer.

Basic e-cigarette care requirements

The operation of the device is based on compliance with a number of rules, which can significantly extend the terms of its quality work:

1. Cigarette refill fluids and other components must be purchased only with the appropriate license from the seller.
2. It is necessary to clean the device not only when signs of problems appear, but also after a certain period of use. Experts recommend doing this every 5-7 thousand puffs.
3. It is not recommended that you use too much fluid to refill the cartridge.
4. If you plan to change the smoking taste, it is necessary to conduct an unscheduled cleaning of the cartridge.
5. During "smoking" it is not recommended to take too deep breaths, this can lead to overheating of the heating element, which very often leads to a breakdown of the device.
6. If possible, the electronic cigarette should be kept charged, you can not use the device in cold weather. Otherwise, its service life will be significantly reduced.
7. Cartridge is not recommended to use more than 6-7 charges, after this period it is necessary to replace the filler element.

Before cleaning the device or its components yourself, it is recommended to consult with a specialist in all the details of the process.

When does an electronic cigarette need cleaning?

If you do not monitor the cleanliness of the electronic cigarette, you may encounter changes in the operation of the product, which very quickly lead to breakage.

The device must be cleaned without fail when the following signs of clogging of the evaporator appear:

• There was a sharp and noticeable reduction in the volume of steam.
• Steam generally ceased to flow through the evaporator or comes in small jerky portions.
• You have to put too much effort to soar through the device without hindrance.
• There is a taste of burning or other foreign smells and tastes.

If at least one of the listed symptoms is noted, it is necessary to tackle the restoration of the device. Ideally, you need to turn to specialists for this, but with the right approach, you can cope with the task yourself.

Methods for cleaning the atomizer of an electronic device

There are several options for handling an electronic cigarette. Some allow you to eliminate non-serious problems at an early stage of their development, others are characterized by increased efficiency and help restore an almost inoperative tool:

• Flushing with flushing. We disconnect the steam generator from the battery and carefully blow it from the mouthpiece. It is necessary that all excess liquid is glass. We also act on the mouthpiece itself, after which we wash the parts under running water, blow them off and dry again.Only after the elimination of all signs of moisture can you collect an electronic cigarette and then use it.

Tip: The described method will give the maximum result if you use the most hot water to rinse the elements, and after exposure leave the product in an upright position for at least a day. All parts must dry on their own.

• Bath. Effective and affordable method, but takes a lot of time. To clean a cigarette, you need to disassemble it into components. Then we lower the atomizer in hot water for one hour, after which we blow it, removing the excess liquid. We lower the element into the water for a couple of hours and again blow the sprayer. We attach the cleaned product to a vertical position and dry it for at least 24 hours.
• Chemical treatment. If the problem is the accumulation of combustion products on the surface of the heating element, then cleaning it with water is useless. The best option is to treat parts with an alcohol solution. We disassemble the tool into its components. We clean and wash the steam generator in a weak alcohol solution for 10 minutes, if necessary, increase the concentration of the active component. The use of vinegar solution is also allowed (a tablespoon of 9% vinegar in a glass of water). In this case, plaque is removed with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Then the elements are washed as usual, blown dried and collected in a single product.

If the problem did not lead to a breakdown of the device, then the above methods will restore its functionality, returning the usual taste and volume to a couple. In some cases, you have to go for the replacement of the individual components of the cigarette (this point is best agreed with a specialist) or the purchase of a new device. The new device must be handled more carefully, then it will last for many years without creating difficulties.
