Hey all,

So after about 2 hours of blood, sweat, and a lot of swearting, I managed to get my Penelope built and finctioning all good and I do love it sooo much, seems to provide a wonderfully smooth vape.

Being this, I have quickly gone through my first batch of juice in it and need to refill it. Thing is I want to change flavors of juice.

And given that I spent so long building it, I am scared of starting me mess with it and it not being the same again.

Does anyone have some advice on how to best clean the Penelope? Which parts should I remove, or is it none? I've been reading that PGV is great, but at a pinch warm water works to.

Any and all idea are most welcome and appreciated, thanks!

Just rinse it out with some vodka , shake out the excess liquid , and put in your new juice . Alcohol evaporates , fairly quickly , so no need to wait for days or even hours to use again . I refill mine and use right away . No issues what so ever . And you will get better at making coils and wicks . Took me awhile to get the hang of it . And you don't have to wait till your present coil goes bad , practice making a new one now , and just save it for when you need a new coil . Go to Youtube and put in Penelope , there is a guy from England ( Scott ) that has an excellent video on making wicks for Penelope's Good Luck

Renzuli - Thanks for all of that, do you advise that i Simply take my whole unit, unscrewed from my PV mod and rinse the whole thing in the alcohol, or are there only certain parts I should be cleaning and unassembling?

Mickey - yep, yep, all aware of those things and despite my grumbling, I am actually enjoying the whole rebuilding process, just need to get more attys to work on;)

Thanks much to both of you for the advice! :D

The main part to clean is the coil /wick , and the tank itself , so just disasemble (leaving the coil intact . and rinse out . But Mickey is right , you need to get some wick , and wire to build some coils . If that is all your vaping , it probably won't last more than a few weeks , at best . An d even if it doesn't burnout , it will get crusted with burnt juice , and there will be little if any flavor . Good Luck .
