Stone tank cleaning?

[BonnyC]

I think it might be time to clean mine, and I can't seem to find a video on it. The Stone is the only ce2 I've ever owned (so far) so I don't really know what I'm looking for in a video. The vapor production is down by about half, and I feel like I'm not quite getting as much as I could from it.

So, if anyone can point me to a good video, I'd very much appreciate it Written instructions might go over my head, I don't know what all of these parts and pieces are.

That is Sooo funny I looked too and couldn't find anything. So I went for it. All I did was take the top off and the rubber cap. Ran them under warm water, and rinsed out the tank as well filling it about half way and shaking it. Then dried the cap and end pieces and blew in the tank. Then gave it a few dry Burns and all like new. Nothing to it.

Oh that sounds easy enough. I was thinking I'd take the tube off and clean it separately, rinse off the wicks, pat them dry, dry burn the coils then they turn red and go at it. Mine sounds a lot more complicated

I'd heard something about firing the wicks with a lighter. Didn't know if I needed to do that.

I definitely wouldn't use the lighter. On other CE2's and vision products it WAS NOT successful.

Hi Bonny,
No need to burn the wick you do want to fire the coil till you see the whole coil turn red not just the corners of it.
It will be just fine then along with the water rinse thats what works best for me.

Thanks I did it my way by taking the tube off and rinsing off the wicks then patting them dry, rinsed out the tube and other parts, patted them dry. Put the tube back on and then onto the battery, dry burnt it til it turned red, put it all together and its still working. I think I'm getting better vapor than I was. Not like when it was brand new, but not too much of a difference. It'll probably get better as I keep vaping on it. Thanks again!

It's all good, except one word to the wise: whatever you do, do not, I say, try to burn the wicks with the lighter. You'll have black wicks forever. Can't get that soot out for nothing. Been there, done that.

People sometimes burn the wicks with a gas torch, it's a hotter flame, so no soot.

I usually soak the thing in vodka for a couple of hours at least, then rinse and dry burn. Vodka seems to help clean the wicks really well. In fact I am looking at a little container of vodka with three Visions and one Stardust floating in it, and all the wicks are pristine. Had them soaking overnight...

And I, as the peroxide queen, lol, use peroxide to soak...obviously. I have four visions and a stardust soaking right now...which reminds me, I need to take those out to dry

you can clean these with a jet lighter are sold a walleyworld in the cig section you can burn these many times and get perfectly
white wicks and get really dirty coils clean and white. I rinse the juice out with pga everclear pat dry and burn this is about the only way to get cinnamon flavors out of the wick and coils. I have visions that are 6 months old that hit like new.
hope this helps
