Deep Cleaning Your Atomizer

When you are looking for a deeper cleaning of your atomizer to ensure that you are able to get the best experience as you are vaping, you just need to follow the next tips.

Whenever you look at your coils and they are burnt or brown, you can easily state that they won't be performing as they should. So, this means that it is time for a deeper clean.

The easiest thing you can do is to start by disassembling your atomizer. Then, just soak all the components, including the coil, for about 30 minutes. While most people tend to use warm water in this soak, the truth is that you can get better and faster results if you use other products. With this in mind, you can use:

#1: Lemon Juice:

 Since lemon juice is naturally acidic, it will help you clean your coils.

#2: Vinegar:

 Just like lemon juice, vinegar is also acidic. Vinegar tends to work pretty well when you have those stubborn burns and marks. Please keep in mind that you should soak your atomizer for a very long time in vinegar. The truth is that if you do, you will get into a lot of problems to remove the vinegar smell afterward.

#3: Unflavored PG:

 If you are noticing a strange taste on your atomizer, using unflavored propylene glycol can mask it.

 No matter the option that you choose, you will need to let all components air dry before you use it.

One of the things that you may have already read or heard is that some vapers clean their atomizers using a strong alcohol solution. In our opinion, you shouldn't do this since alcohol solutions could be dangerous to inhale and are toxic. Besides, they can even damage your atomizer if you soak it for a very long time.

In case you have tried one of the previously mentioned methods to clean your atomizer and if it still tastes funny, then you know that it is time to replace the coil.
