Joyetech eGrip - cleaning?

[machinestatic]

Hey everyone. So I haven't posted on the forums in a while, but the eGrip looks rather cool and I'm interested. However, from the very first time I saw a picture of it, I thought "So if the tank is built in... how do you clean it?" Well now that they're out in the wild I thought I'd ask here. Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks!

Just unscrew, take out coil head, take drip tip off, cover USB port, and use dropper bottle with water to rinse. I also put the screw cap back on without the coil head and shook. Some have just covered the USB port and lightly rinsed. Although, I haven't been willing to try that yet. I put some twirled tissue in the tank to lightly dry. Or you can air dry it over night. This is day 5 with the device and coils are running full tilt and slightly better than full size nautilus BVCs. I am loving this so far for its size and simplicity. The chrome is very nice.

You have any pics of the chrome version?

That link did work...
The chrome a finger print magnet?

Yes it is, but so shinny I don't notice it. I just wipe off on cotton shirt on occasion.

You could also possibly use rinsing alcohol on a q-tip if you've had strong tasting eliquids in it, in between the above mentioned tactics? covering the usb-port will be essential in any case, I guess. And not take it diving

I cover my USB port with masking tape and rinse under hot running water as Joyetech advises. I have seen people mention using USB dust covers to cover the USB port as well. I also do a final rinse with PGA. No problems at all using this method for me yet.

Okay, folks, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday upon us, I'm getting the itch to buy new gear and several places have coupons that work for the eGrip. So now that people have had theirs for a few more weeks, is there anything new to report in this thread? For people who literally rinse the entire mod under a running sink, have you had any technical problems, dead batteries or anything, or is it good to go?

Sadly, if the only way to clean the tank is with a Q-tip or rolled up paper towel, I'm going to have to pass. That doesn't seem thorough enough for changing flavors.

Can you use any standard drip tip?

How is the weight compare to the MVP with a topper on it?

Do you feel that the vape matches the MVP?

Thanks
