Why is my vape pipe clogged?

Before we start cleaning, we first need to understand why my vape pipe is finding it clogged. I want my old friend David to explain this because he is a Hardcore vaper. When we asked him this question, he answered like this

I know this feeling all too well — going in for that satisfying vape drag only to be greeted by the foul taste of burnt gunk. Not awesome! Feeling discouraged, have you ever thought about what causes the vexing e-cigarette tube blockage problem?

There are many culprits causing clogged e-cigarette pipes:

First, low-quality filling fluids vary in quality. The quality and safety standards of black market e-liquids of unknown origin cannot be guaranteed and may not be compatible with your e-cigarette equipment; even original vapor ammunition may have problems due to improper transportation and storage.

Secondly, e-liquids with high viscosity and consistency will have poor fluidity. In particular, some additives or diluents may easily cause blockage if they do not match the material of the e-cigarette tube you are using.

Finally, if the e-cigarette pipe is not cleaned and maintained regularly, residual e-liquid vapor and soot will accumulate and accumulate after long-term use, eventually causing serious pipe obstruction.

How can I tell if my e-Pipe is clogged?

But if you are a beginner, how to judge whether the e-cigarette tube is clogged? Let’s investigate.

Firstly, a gunked-up vape pipe will give weaker vapor, smaller clouds, and a clear drop in output. It’ll feel like you have to labor hard just to get a nice hit. The taste will get muddled and muted from grunge buildup, quickly giving dry, scorched drags.

However, getting weak puffs with a taste still fine could mean the battery is lacking juice. Check if your battery needs a charge. A burnt taste with clouds may signal wattage is too sizzling for the coil. Dial back power and see if that smooths performance. After we determine that the vape pipe is clogged, we need to start clearing it.

What tools will I need to unclog my vape pipe?

In the process of unclogging the vape pipe, I will prepare the following cleaning tools

1. Pipe cleaners, cotton swabs, soft-bristle brushes, paper clips, and toothpicks for scraping out and dislodging debris stuck inside the pipe.

2. Isopropyl alcohol, white vinegar, or high-proof spirits for loosening sticky buildup via a deep soak.

3. Hair dryer: A blow dryer blows heated air onto the pipe to melt clogs

Steps to unclog vape pipe

First, we take out the straightened paper clip and toothpick we prepared earlier, Use them to gently scrape off any e-juice residue built up inside the mouthpiece. You can also use these tools to loosen any gunk stuck in the air holes at the bottom of the vape pipe.

Next up, we bust out the cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean the exterior air holes and battery connections along the vape pipe body. This prevents any viscous e-juice from sticking around to smear and accumulate.

If clogs persist, we may need to remove the atomizer unit. Soak it in warm water mixed with a few drops of dish soap to loosen stubborn grime.

For deeper clogs, carefully use a thin wire or drumstick brush to gently poke inside the atomizer air channels. This can dislodge stuck particulates. But according to my cleaning habits, I prefer to use a hair dryer appropriately for blockages in the middle of the tube body and joints. Apply heat to soften hard lumps. Or pump vigorously to create pressure to break up the blockage.

Finally, do a dry pull without power to test for any remaining blockages. Once fully unclogged, reassemble the vape pipe. Remember to start at low wattage and work back to your usual setting.
