What You Should Know

Skim this first for the short version: the main points, the questions people ask, and what to consider before you buy.

Overview

A dirty dry herb vaporizer does not just look bad, it tastes bad too, since built up residue dulls flavor and can affect airflow. This guide walks through four simple steps to break down, clean, and reassemble your device.

A few minutes of regular maintenance keeps every session tasting like it should.

Key Takeaways

  • Start by disassembling your vaporizer according to its manual so you can reach every part, not just the visible surfaces.
  • Brush out loose residue with a cleaning brush or pipe cleaner before introducing any liquid.
  • Soak small parts like the mouthpiece and filter in warm water with a little dish soap or diluted rubbing alcohol.
  • Use water, not rubbing alcohol, on the interior heating chamber to avoid damaging sensitive components.
  • Wipe down the exterior last, avoiding the charging port, before reassembling the device.

From here, the walkthrough gets specific: the product details and buying considerations that turn the summary above into an actual decision.

Keeping your dry herb vaporizer can be challenging, but Got Vape is here to help you solve that issue! We know that cleaning dry herb vaporizers can be sticky and messy, but with the right cleaning products and solutions, your problem will be solved in no time.

1. Dissemble your dry herb vape

Depending on the type of vaporizer, every dry herb vape has its own different type of part. First, we would like to assist you in looking over your vaporizer’s original manual. You can’t just clean the visible areas, as that does not help nor clean out any built-up residues.

2. Brush out and clean the small parts!

Once you have taken every bit apart, grab the cleaning spoolie brush that came with your vaporizer kit or any pipe cleaner to brush out all the dried, used herbs and other maintaining residues.

Then, soak the small parts (filter and mouthpiece) in a tiny bowl of warm water with a few drops of dish soap or diluted rubbing alcohol. Once your filter and mouthpiece are soaked, use the Got Vape Disinfectant Wipes 100pk to get rid of the leftover residues.

3. Water is key to cleaning the inside of your vape

You will only need water and a dab swab to clean the insides of your vape. Do not use rubbing alcohol to clean the interior of your dry herb vaporizer. Next, use a dab swab (we recommend using the Wulf Mods Cotton Dab Swab 300pk) and a few drops of water to saturate the cotton. Wipe the dirt off of the tank, heating chamber, or heating element with the saturated dab swab until it is visibly clean.

4. Exterior for a brand new look!

Last but not least, use the Got Vape Disinfectant Wipes 100pk to clean the exterior of your vape. Try not to wipe over important open areas such as its charging port. Once you are pleased with its exterior look, put each part back together, and finally, get ready to taste the flavors of your favorite dry herbs!

We told you it wasn’t that hard! A clean, dry herb vaporizer means a better taste of your flower. Got Vape is always here to help you get the best session out of your devices; if you have any other questions or concerns on how to clean your dry herb vaporizer, please reach out to our customer service: (888) 827-3101.
