How often do you clean you tanks?

How often do you clean your tanks if you are keeping the same flavor? Also do you use soap on your glass tanks or something else?
Thanks and have a nice day!

I rinse out and re-wick my Lemos every 2 tanks. I use soap when I first purchase any piece of gear I will be putting juice in (drippers, tanks, etc....) to remove any residual machine oil. After that I just rinse with water.

I'm using glass carto tanks. I wash with a mild dish soap when new. I mostly keep them to the same flavor, and just give it a rinse whenever I have to change cartos. About once a week probably. But the drip tips get washed daily.

Pretty much daily. Rinse out tank with warm water, dry-burn, re-wick, change out rebuilt Kanger duel coils in wife's. Sometimes I will run a third tank of juice through then change out. I like every vape to be as good as the first few vapes. CHEERS!

i try to clean them once a week....instead of soap, cuz who wants a soapy aftertaste
i use vodka to let them and wicks coils soak in over night, sometimes longer, then let them dry at least over night and you should be good to go....cleaning coils can help prolong their life
but now that i've been at this for a while, i have a bit of a collection so don't have to clean as often and since i drip instead of using tanks now, i can just rinse out and pop in a new wick/coil and good to go....but still a good idea to clean every now and then
plus the alcohol should help kill any germs and things, say if you were sick and vaping, don't wanna keep vaping on those germs

Seems to me the juice really starts tasting awesome after the second tank so I tend to run mine for at least 30ml of juice before I rewick and clean give or take several ml's. If I'm using the same juice I do a quick clean and burn but if I'm changing flavors I do a more thorough cleaning. Sometimes I even have a little coil residue swirling in my tanks. Anyone else get that? To me that's when the wick is getting good and broke in. Just seems the flavor is off the charts then.

Rinse with cold water one or two times per week

I use the DONNER sub ohm tank. I will rinse with water if I change strong flavors or flavors that don't taste well if a little juice is left in the tank. I use rubbing alcohol in my glass tank if I have really strong flavors then rinse with water. Drip tips get cleaned every day.

I clean mine out after 50ml's of liquid rinse under the hot tap, rewick and fill. Change coils every two to three months.

Usually when changing flavors, sometimes when re-coiling/wicking. I clean my drip-tips and the externals of my devices much more often. They are in my hand all day and I handle many a foreign keyboard throughout. If a tank can be fully disassembled I'l use dish soap and warm/hot water to clean followed by manual drying. If not, I'll let them sit in consecutive pots of clean, boiling, water and air-dry.

I take apart and rinse my KFLs with water and dry burn and re-wick with every tank. Although it does take a little bit to break in the wick, I feel that the flavor starts to decline in the middle of my second tank if I don't clean it, dry burn, and replace the wick. I only use dish soap on newly acquired atomizers - otherwise I just rinse with water and dry with paper towels.

Pick apart and wash? Not very often.
I do, every few re-fills, fill them halfway up with PG and give'em a good shake. Suck it out, throw away PG. Repeat once or twice.

I only clean my tanks, Lemo and Lemo 2, when I need to rewick. Every three or four days depending on the Juice I'm using. Quick flush with clean water will usually do the trick.

 

[mwdenko]

Hmm We are supposed to clean tanks?

LOL.

Once a month for me in water with dish soap with a tooth brush. Let air dry or if I'm in a hurry I dry with a towel.

On Kanthal builds with sticky juice I might dry burn and rewick evey day. With clear juice and a nickel build I get at least 30 ml without any maintenance.

 

[Dimplegirl]

What about the juice that is still in the tank? I run it pretty low before cleaning do you keep the juice and use after cleaning or dump?

Run it as low as you can get then dump, clean, wick, fresh fill.

Usually whenever I change flavors. I just use warm water and paper towels/q-tips.

I do the same. Every once in awhile I do a thorough clean, first with Dawn and plenty of rinsing, then with alcohol.

I just rinse out my kayfuns with hot water and have a small fine test tube brush I scrub all the cooties out with, let air dry. When the wick poops out then the whole unit gets cleaned so I start fresh after rewicking, I don't see the point in trying to dryburn and rewick a dirty, juicy atty just making a mess. Start clean with everything fresh makes IMO a better vape.
FYI This is my 1000th post. I assume I just jumped over somesorta threshold.
