Why regular cleaning matters
E-liquid residue and dust can build up around the pod connection and charging port over time, potentially affecting how well the pod seats or how reliably the device charges. A quick wipe down every so often keeps everything working as intended and helps the device look its best.
What to avoid
Never submerge the device in water or use excessive liquid when cleaning, since this is an electronic device with a built-in battery. Stick to a dry or barely damp cloth for the exterior and avoid getting moisture near the charging port.

Common questions about cleaning
How often should I clean the device?
A quick wipe every week or two is generally enough for most users, more frequent cleaning may suit heavier daily use.
Can I clean the pod itself?
The exterior of the pod can be wiped clean but the coil inside cannot be cleaned or restored once it begins to wear.
Is it safe to use alcohol wipes on the device?
A small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cloth can help remove stubborn residue from the exterior, just avoid getting any near the charging port or internal components.
