Mighty+ vaporizer cleaning guide: what you’ll need
You’ll only need a few household supplies for this cleaning.
- A few cotton swabs
- Rubbing alcohol
- A container for soaking
Take it apart
First, wiggle and pull the mouthpiece out of its socket. Then, slide the cap lock - the holographic logo - towards the mouthpiece socket, pull it up and off, and set it aside.
The cooling unit splits apart into two pieces, and depending on how dirty your vape is, may give you a bit of trouble. With the cooling unit still attached to your Mighty+ vape, press down on the little button nub, where the cap lock sits, and pull up to separate the two pieces. If it feels stuck, run an empty session on the highest temperature setting, and take a couple pulls to loosen up any residue inside.
Once everything is disassembled, take the stir tool and remove the blue o-rings from the cooling unit and on the end of the mouthpiece. There’s a little notch along the rim (pictured below) to make this easier. Then, remove the bottom half of the cooling unit from the vape, and poke the screen out from the bottom.
What to soak
Fill your container with a bit of rubbing alcohol and soak everything but the cap lock and o-rings for about 30 minutes, or until all the pieces are gunk free. Then, rinse each piece off with warm water and set them out to dry.
Clean the oven
While everything is soaking, take a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol and wipe the oven clean of any sticky substances. Hold your Mighty+ upside down while you do this to keep the electronics safe from liquid damage.
Reassemble
Once all the other pieces are dry, it’s time to throw it back together. Insert the stainless steel screen back into the cooling unit, and put the o-rings back onto the mouthpiece and cooling unit. Then, put the two halves of the cooling unit back together, reattach the cap lock, and place the mouthpiece back into its socket.
Run a burnoff
Finally, we’ll run a quick burnoff to dissolve any leftover residue before it's ready for use. Turn your Mighty+ on to the highest temperature setting. Let it run through a full session until it turns itself off. And that's it!
Conclusion: Tips for a cleaner vaporizer
A deep cleaning will always be necessary at some point, but if you want to keep your vaporizer cleaner for longer, get in the habit of brushing out the oven after each session. A lot of buildup occurs as the vape is cooling down with dry herbs still inside, and this simple step will save you a lot of time in the long run.
