Cleaning my kit???

[Brooksie967]

SO, I obviously need to be cleaning my kit.... Can you please share your routine for me?

1. Do I disassemble and boil all parts then clean up with a q-tip?
2. Is anyone using rubbing alcohol?
3. Can the coil be boiled/cleaned and how often do I need to clean and or replace the coil?

My kit includes the VTR and Iclear30s (plastic container) and the nautilus (glass container).

All your help is appreciated.

I wouldn't boil anything... but that's just me. (Certainly nothing plastic either...)

I tend to use a sonic cleaner (warm water) periodically for clearomisers and newly-bought rba/RDAs.

Only cleaning you need is rinse off the tank with warm tap water and let it dry.

Anything else is not necessary.

As far as cleaning the coil, I do it after about 2 to 3 tankful. Search utube on "how to clean and dry burn Iclear30s".

Just make sure to order/keep stocks of extra coils for back up.

Cheers

I swab the 510 connection nearly every time I change toppers, to make sure nothing gets burned in.

Regarding the toppers... yes, take them completely apart. I then rinse everything under hot running water. Dry. You can swap in a new head and let the old one air dry, or just go ahead and vape with it. If you do that, just remember that the first few vapes will be ALL water vapor, so weak and tasteless. I don't use rubbing / isopropyl alcohol on anything I'm going to breathe. Some use Everclear or vodka for cleaning / soaking heads. (I use single coils devices and just dry burn.)

Not aware of any who've had good luck dry burning or recoiling the I-30s. Replace when the vape falls off, starts to taste funky, or you find you have to crank up the power the get a decent vape. All are signs that the coil is getting gunked.

I tried boiling, once. Most of the time I just rinse in hot tap water. Use a jewelry cleaner/vibrator for metal when that is not enough. Never tried glass in the cleaner, but no need to because that part is easy to clean.

Boiling is more hassle and I notice no difference. The vibration does make a difference, that's my 2 cents.

Edit: I also do not use alcohol. Well, Vodka, but not rubbing. Vibration is the key, even with hot water only.

The VTR just needs to be wiped down every so often, and clean the 510 connector with a cotton swab if any juice seeps in there. I own several Iclear 30s's, and I keep mostly all day vapes and favorite flavors in them because the coils last so long. I have a couple that are going on a month. Those, I just replace the coils when they start to drop off in vapor production and taste. Rinse out the tank at that point, dry it off, install the new coil, fill and vape away.

I clean my kit whenever I feel like it.

However, both PG and VG are quite good at keeping bugs at bay, so I'm not too worried about germs. For a year or so anyway

I take my rebuildable attys apart every few months and clean them with rubbing alcohol and let the parts dry before I continue. You don't want to inhale rubbing alcohol. I then lube the parts with VG and assemble.

I clean my mechanical mod parts every month or so. Alcohol wipe all contact surfaces and sometimes Ox-Guard on some.

I rinse drip tips with hot water when I feel they need it. Sometime that's every day, sometimes every few days. If I get juice on the drip tip, it happens more often to get the juice off.

I dry burn coils every 5 or so ML of juice, depending on how 'gunky' the juice is. Boiling/washing/soaking does not do it for me. Doesn't matter if it's clearos or rebuldables, they're all the same.

I replace coils in rebuildables when they fail. Doesn't happen very often.

HTH.

Hot water and dish soap (I use Dawn) for the main parts and rinse with warm water. For pre-made coils it depends.. but usually a nice hot water bath and short fires to dry the coil and wick afterwards.

Great advice so far guys! Thanks so much!
As far as the "dry burn" goes. Is there any risk associated with that?

When I first bought my gear I got 5 spare coils for each clearomizer and figured that this would last me a heck of a long time. My nautilus is my 'at home' vaping choice as it's a bit bulky for the vtr and the iclear is for when i'm out or at work.

BTW i'm almost 2 weeks off smoking

There is risk when dry burning. You have to pulse the switch and not do it very long at all. I would not recommend a dry burn on cartomizers as they go from ok to trash very quickly as the wicking material in them is NOT flame resistant. In most clearomizer setups they use silica which can be dry burned in short burst but with the pre-made coils the wick is not the problem... it is the thin wire used for the coil. You do have a risk of either popping or scorching the coil.

Congrats on being smoke free for 2 weeks!

I just replaced the coil on my I clear 30b and it doesn't seem to be hitting right. Any suggestions?

Might be you didn't get it threaded all the way down, so it's not making contact inside.

Thanks for the advice! I must have done something right because after I added more juice it all a sudden started to work like a champ...
