How to Maintain Your Vape Device for Optimal Performance

Device Maintenance 101

Proper maintenance is key to getting the best performance and longest life from your vape device. Follow these tips to keep your device in top condition.

Daily Maintenance

1. Wipe Down Your Device

Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe away any e-liquid residue or fingerprints from the exterior of your device.

2. Check Battery Level

Don't let your battery completely drain. Charge it when it reaches 20-30% for optimal battery health.

3. Inspect for Leaks

Check for any e-liquid leaks around the tank or pod. Clean up any spills immediately to prevent damage.

Weekly Maintenance

1. Clean the Tank/Pod

For refillable devices:

• Empty remaining e-liquid

• Let it air dry overnight for best results

2. Clean Connection Points

Use a cotton swab to clean the connection points between the tank and battery. Remove any e-liquid or debris that could affect performance.

3. Check O-Rings

Inspect o-rings for wear or damage. Replace them if they're cracked or loose to prevent leaks.
