Since I got my mini it seems it is always with me, in my pocket, on the end table while I'm watching tube, were ever, but mostly in my hand. Now I will wipe down the outside with a damp soft cloth. The inside is a little harder to do around the battery spring ect. Can I take the bottle out , the battery and atty off and rinse the whole device in soapy water and rinse it or is this not recommend.

You can rinse the whole mod (minus battery, atty, and juice bottle) using very hot water. I don't think there is a need for soap as it can leave a residue. If you are concerned about germs or whatever, you can rinse it in alcohol and do spot cleaning with a qtip + alcohol. 99% Iso-Propyl does well and doesn't leave residue behind. Just make sure that it is dry when you re-assemble for use. Compressed air works great in getting excess water out. :)

I just did that, and yes hot water is enough... inside should be pretty clean anyways.. I gave it a good clean because it started acting werid... Everytime i squeeze to get juice up it use to be perfect! I would see the juice peek out and i would stop! But recently it started getting bubblely, everytime i squeeze it would make a bubble and juice will get all over my well area! But the atty wouldn't be wet yet! Just a mess overall... If anyone know what is causing this problem please let me know! After cleaning it got better but still doing it once in a while..

Check that your o-ring is seated properly in the cap. If the cap is on too tightly it can squeeze the o-ring out of place. However...I did notice that this did occur with my LR510s. Right now I'm using LR306s and my wells are dry most of the time.

the bubbling happens more when the juice is warm IMO :)

Vaping in the winter works so much better.

I check and the O ring is at the top and hasn't moved since day 1. I think some how air is getting in therefore bubbles are being produced. Idk but when i washed it, I used a empty bottle and squirt very hot water through the tubing seem to help a bit... I am using a LR510 though if that makes a diffrence. If anyone else got a answer for this let me know! Thanks
