Cleaning Tanks?

[Saundhaus]

So I'm still a noob here and I moved on to the Halo G6 mini-tanks from the cartomizers which just didn't click with me. My question is how often should you clean the tanks? Obviously when you change juices which I've done with my three tanks, but I've got one tank I'm using exclusively with the longhorn which I like. I'm just wondering if repeated refilling will gum it up faster than washing it every refill or couple of refills.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello and welcome!!! I too started with Halo but i started with the triton system. How often for me depends on the juice youre using, the really thick stuff gunks up the coils faster. I did it every two weeks, some people do it sooner some later!

To keep you gear in good working order and clean condition-Once a week is about right. If you are a clean addict-after each tank-between refills would be ideal.

I've heard people say that the mini tanks only last about a couple of weeks so I'm trying to get as much out of them as possible. If cleaning them more often will give me more life then I'm willing to do that.

It's all personal preference and will depend on what type of liquid you're using. I can literally go 2-3 weeks between cleanings with a new coil and using a clear, non-sweetened liquid. Add a drop of sweetener and it turns to sludge by the end of that tank. Sweet & any type of colored liquids need to take a bath more often.

actually the thickness doesn't have as much impact on coil life
as does the juice content or sweeteners...

if you THINK performance is dwindling - clean it
it only takes a minute - and get in the habit of, clean it BEFORE it gunks up...

I have a couple juices in tanks that never gunk or foul (vapes well for weeks & weeks)

then others that start going bad before 1st tank is gone (bummer)

so a lot of factors play a part, just get to know what your using

levels of cleaning

- hot wtr rinse / dry / vape
- hot wtr rinse / dry burn / rinse / dry / vape
- rebuild coil with wire and wicking

I tend t use dark colored juice so I like to clean after every tank just to keep things fresh. I guess it all boils down to how much time you have on your hands.

I normally do it each time the coil needs changing.. I just disassemble my tank and let it soak in the sink or grain alcohol.. let it dry, put in a new coil, and vape on!
