With the increase of use time, the gas storage tank and coil of electronic cigarettes are easy to accumulate residue and tar, which will affect the taste and service life. Regular cleaning can not only maintain the pure flavor of the liquid, but also extend the service life of the equipment. This guide will detail the cleaning methods of e-cigarette storage tanks and coils to help beginners easily master the skills of maintaining e-cigarettes.
Analysis of e-cigarette module and bomb
Before mastering the cleaning skills of e-cigarettes, you first need to understand their main components. E-cigarettes are typically made up of three core components:
E-cigarette tank: This tank is used to store e-liquids and is usually combined with an atomizer as a whole.
E-cigarette coil: This is a heating element that is responsible for converting the e-liquid into steam.
E-cigarette cartridges: Unlike conventional fuel tanks, cartridges do not have universal threads and replaceable coils, but are designed for a specific model and often contain integrated batteries or batteries designed for reusable cartridges.
Why clean the e-cigarette tank and coil regularly?
If the e-cigarette is not cleaned for a long time, it may cause the following problems:
Decreased taste: The residue of the liquid will make the taste become mixed, and even produce a burnt taste.
Carbon deposits affect heating efficiency: Carbon deposits on coils reduce heating efficiency, which affects smoke production and taste experience.
Health hazards: Long time not clean gas storage tank may breed bacteria, harmful to health.
Shortened device life: Residue may clog the air intake or damage the coil, thereby shortening the service life of the e-cigarette.

💡 Tip: Avoid dishwashing liquid or fragrance-containing detergents as they may affect the taste of the liquid.
How to clean the e-cigarette coil?
The coil is the core heating component of the electronic cigarette, and there are generally two ways to deal with it: cleaning and reuse or replacing the new coil.
① Cleaning methods for reusable coils (for RBA coils)
1️⃣ Dry burning cleaning method (for reusable coils)
- Remove coil and remove surface residue.
- Install it back to the main engine, dry burn it for a short time under low power(about 15W), so that the carbon deposit automatically falls off.
- Gently brush off burnt impurities with a toothbrush.
- Reinstall and wet the coil before use.
2️⃣ Immersion cleaning method (for detachable coils)
- Soak the coil in warm water or alcohol for 20-30 minutes to dissolve residual soot.
- Rinse with water and let dry thoroughly before installation.
② Direct coil replacement (for finished core)
If you find that the coil has been severely blackened or still smells after cleaning, it is recommended to replace the coil directly to ensure the best experience.
How to keep e-cigarettes clean and extend their service life?
In order to keep e-cigarettes in good condition, it is recommended to develop the following good habits:
✔ Clean the gas tank before changing the fume oil each time to avoid residual taste.
✔ Check the seal ring regularly to prevent oil leakage.
✔ Avoid frequent dry burning of coils to reduce carbon accumulation.
✔ Clean the gas storage tank once a week and clean the coil every 1-2 weeks to maintain the best taste.
