Why Should You Clean the Vape Coil?
Coils are one of the important components of e-cigarettes, just like batteries, which will affect the lifespan with use. But coils don't last as long as batteries, they are fragile. Your vape coil will burn out within seconds if the coil is not fully saturated with the e-liquid before vaping.
Cleaning your vape coil is the easiest way to get the best vaping experience. The ingredients in e-liquid generally don’t stain your device, but the residue from e-liquid atomizing can build up and ultimately affect the performance of your device. Vegetable glycerin, some dark fruit juice flavoring, and especially sweet flavors, are all things that can make coils stick. Coils that stick together will deliver lower flavor and vapor, and maybe bring a burnt taste.
Cleaning the coils can extend your vape coils’ lifespan. Taking it a further step, keeping the coil clean means you can reduce your overall vaping cost because you don't have to replace your e-cigarette or a new coil as often.
