If you just bought your first vape, you may be unsure how to use it or what to do with the various components that came with it. For beginners, it’s especially necessary to learn how to take care of your device to ensure it lasts for years to come. The below guide will explain how to get the most out of your vaping experience. 

A Guide to Vaping for Beginners 

1. Know the Components 

Most vapes come with three components: the tank, coil, and battery. The tank stores the e-liquid. It also holds the coils that are responsible for vaporizing the e-liquid. The battery powers the device. Many models come with a built-in battery, though most "box mods" have a separate compartment for third-party batteries.

2. Clean It Regularly 

A vape requires a cleaning now and then to optimize its vaping efficiency and to remove any gunk that has built-up inside the tank. Start by removing the battery and tank from the device. Wipe down any excess e-liquid in the screw holes and inner mouthpiece of the tank. Unscrew the empty tank and place its components inside a bowl of warm water to clean any old e-liquid inside. Once your device is dry and clear of debris, screw everything back together. Avoid using water on the coils since it will damage this component and cause spit back when vaping.

3. Keep the E-Liquid at an Optimal Level

The easiest way to burn out the coil is by having low amounts of e-liquid in the tank. When the unit doesn't have any liquid to soak in, the coils dry up. Keeping your tank filled at optimal levels will prevent the coils from deteriorating faster. A Perfect Vape recommends keeping your tank full enough to cover the wicks on the sides of the coil, at all times.

4. Change the Coils Often 

Coils are the disposable components of your vape and sustain the most stress every time you take a hit. If you're noticing a burnt taste when vaping despite a filled tank or the wicking material inside is black with gunk, it's time for a replacement.
