The short answer: how to clean a vape comes down to three habits. Wipe the mouthpiece daily, rinse the pod or tank weekly, and replace coils on schedule rather than trying to revive them.
If you remember one thing, make it this: dry everything completely before reassembly, because moisture causes more problems than residue ever will.
Bookmark this routine, then estimate what longer coil life saves you over a year.
