Guide to Servicing and Maintaining your Vapourizer E-cigarette

December 19, 2013

Regular cleaning, Servicing and Maintaining your Vapourizer E-cigarette components will help prolong its life and make the vapour taste better. Some users replace parts when regular maintenance would have allowed the reuse of these parts. For cleaning and maintenance, the device will need to be disassembled.

How A 'Vape' Works:

The atomiser receives e-liquid through the wick, and using a small heating element, vaporises the e-liquid and allows it to be inhaled. The wicks are usually made of silica. The atomiser needs to be drained every 3-5 days when the cartridge is removed. All you need to do is substitute the cartridge for a piece of rolled tissue. At the end of the atomiser where it would contact the battery will be a small hole. Blowing through it will force out any excess e-liquid that may have collected there onto the tissue, which you can then remove.

When to Replace an E-Cig Cartomizer:

The cartridge or cartomizer or of an electronic cigarette such as the Gemini needs to be replaced every 3-5 (On average) days. The Clearomizer in Vapourizers can be rinsed with alcohol or hot water, then thoroughly dried and reused. When refilling the atomizer, put a few drops of e-liquid (Often referred to as 'Juice') into your tank until it is moist, but do not flood it - a convenient gauge should be there to guide the maximum level to fill to.

The combination of atomiser and cartridge design varies between brands. But this e-liquid delivery system is sometimes known as a cartomizer or a clearomizer.

How to Service When To Change The Vape Battery:

The battery needs to work effectively and be recharged. Though airtight, be careful if excess liquid finds its way from the atomiser onto the battery then this liquid will need to be cleaned off. It is a good idea to do this every 3-5 days. This can be performed gently using a cotton bud. Excess liquid in the battery can cause the battery to stop working.

The battery itself is usually activated when the user inhales. Some models require a small button to be pushed and held down while inhaling. If you find that after a few months of use the battery life is diminished, or the throat hit is becoming weak, then it will be time to replace the battery. Different sizes and voltages of battery are available. Along with variable voltage batteries which are great for improving the 'burn' and 'throat hit' for the advanced vape user!

Buy Good Quality E-Liquid

It is important that you use a good quality e-liquid and store it correctly until needed. The liquid contains nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine and sometimes flavourings. Storage of e-liquid is important, whether from a bottle or pre-soaked into a disposable cartridge. Storage needs to be somewhere cool and dark and away from direct sunlight.
