How to Clean a Disposable Vape – Step-by-Step

The mouthpiece collects saliva, oil, dust, and residue.
How to clean it:
- Use a dry tissue or cotton swab to wipe the inside and outside
- For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cotton swab (not dripping water)
- Disinfect with an alcohol wipe
- Let it dry completely
2. Clean the Airflow Holes
Airflow holes are often located at the bottom.
Steg:

- Use a dry cotton swab or toothpick to remove dust

- Avoid poking too deeply
This fixes most “not hitting” issues.

If your vape has airflow but still won’t hit, the oil may be too thick or stuck.
Try these safe methods:
Method A: Warm the Vape (Low Heat Only)

- OR warm it with a hairdryer on low for 5–10 seconds
- This thins the oil and helps it flow back to the coil

- This clears condensation in the airway
Method C: Tap the Device
