How to Clean a Vaporesso XROS Device?

There are many things your Vaporesso XROS vape does. E-liquid residue, dust particles, and pocket lint build up inside and outside the pod. As time passes, this accumulation affects your vaping experience in several ways.

It affects the flavour of the vape, reduces its power and makes the device gurgle every time you take a hit, which usually just means it's due for a clean. The good news?

You don't need tools or chemicals since cotton buds, warm water, and a soft cloth are enough. The cleaning process should take around ten minutes and works for all XROS vapes. In this article, we will explain how to clean a Vaporesso XROS product and keep it working well.

What You'll Need?

You will need: cotton buds, a dry cloth, warm water, and a small bowl. That's all! While alcohol can help in tough, sticky situations, it is not necessary.

Step 1: Remove the Pod

Begin by removing the pod from the vape. If you're switching flavours or the e-liquid's gone stale, drain what's left before refilling. Otherwise, you can leave it and refill on top.

You’ll end up with two components to deal with: the pod and the battery. Be careful with the slot part – excessive pressure can damage the pins.

Step 2: Wipe Down the Pod

The exterior of the pod needs to be wiped down with a dry cloth. This gets rid of fingerprints and any residue on refills. The mouthpiece requires extra care because it comes into contact with your lips and collects dirt throughout the day.

Then, you need to use a dry cotton bud to wipe around the filling port. You don’t have to go inside the pod, as water and coils do not mix and need to stay away from each other. If your pod tastes burnt despite being clean, replace it.

Step 3: Clean the Contacts

Now for the part most people skip - the contacts. Examine the bottom of your pod, and you will see two metal spots. In the interior of your device, there are corresponding pins placed at the bottom of the slot. There will be e-liquid residue on these spots, which is what leads to weak hits or a blinking light.

Soak a cotton swab in lukewarm water and squeeze it dry. Gently clean the metallic spots on the pod first and then clean the pins in the slot. If black spots appear, it means that it is burned e-liquid - keep going until the cotton bud comes away clean.

Step 4: Check the Airflow

Condensation builds up in the airflow hole, especially with sweet e-liquids. This will be apparent by the wet sound that you hear while drawing on the device or vapour that becomes weak.

Take a new cotton bud and swirl it in the airflow hole located at the bottom of the pod. In the case of XROS 3 Mini and similar products, examine the airflow ring as well. Dust and pocket lint can clog the air ring and prevent it from spinning freely. A simple swipe over the air ring solves this problem.

Step 5: Dry and Reassemble

Ensure that everything is dried out. Five minutes will suffice in most cases. Liquid in the pod chamber will make your coil unusable. Also, any moisture present in the battery slot can lead to malfunctions of your device. After ensuring that all parts are dried out, screw the pod onto the device again. Fill it with the new e-liquid and give it a few minutes before you take the first drag, since the dry coil will deliver harsh hits.

How Often to Clean?

Once per week is more than enough for daily use. In between cleanings, wipe the pod's slot and contacts after every refill. This way, you will prevent most of the build-up. The pods have a limited lifespan regardless of your attention to cleanliness. If the taste gets duller, if the vapour volume reduces, or if it gets burned, you have to replace the pod.

Conclusion

Maintaining cleanliness on your Vaporesso is simple and ensures maximum value from each inhale. It requires a few moments using cotton swabs and a cloth to make sure that the taste, vapour output and leakage levels are optimal.

The steps to maintain the vape are universal across all models of XROS, ensuring that you do not need to learn different ways for each one. First, clean the exterior of the pod, then the contacts, next dry out the airway, and always ensure the parts are dry when replacing them.

Do not put any water near the coil, and do not wash your XROS with anything wet or harsh. Make cleaning part of your refill habit, and your XROS will stay reliable day after day.
