Suggested Cleaning Supplies


Cleaning the mouthpiece - The mouthpiece on the top can be easily removed by pulling with moderate force. The mouthpiece consists of two pieces, the plastic outer shell and an insulating silicone liner.

  1. Pour enough isopropyl alcohol into a soaking container to cover the two pieces
  2. Separate the silicone liner from the plastic mouthpiece and place them in the soaking container for one hour
  3. Use a cleaning wipe to remove any particulate by hand
  4. Rinse in cold water and dry with a hand towel or paper towel
  5. Insert silicone liner back into the plastic shell

Cleaning the chamber - The vape contains a built-in ceramic heating chamber with a screen at the bottom. The best way to clean the chamber is with an alcohol-filled cotton swab. These steps can be performed while the mouthpieces are soaking.

  1. Ensure vaporizer is turned off and fully cooled prior to cleaning
  2. Snap the stem of the cotton swab to release the isopropyl alcohol into the cleaning tips. Alternatively dip a dry cotton swab into the 91% isopropyl alcohol
  3. Swirl the cotton swab tip around all surfaces of the heating chamber and surrounding areas to remove resin and other residues
  4. Let the vaporizer sit for 3 minutes and then dry-fire by turning it on to the highest heat setting. The heat will evaporate any remaining alcohol residue. 
  5. Re-attach the mouthpiece on to the vaporizer
  6. Cleanup

Pro Tip - For best performance, use the included cleaning brush or a pipe cleaner stick to brush out the chamber after each use. This will help to avoid excessive build-up.
