Good day guys, Matt from VapeFuse Australia here.
Back again with another video for our
Vaping 101 Webinar Series, it's helping to get
Aussies get in the know about herb
Vaping. Now, for this video I'm gonna be
touching on Vape Maintenance and
Cleaning. Showing you guys just the basic
steps that need to be taken to ensure
that your vape is kept in tip-top
condition. So, most devices come
equipped with a simple cleaning brush. I
really like this Storz and Bickel
Cleaning Brush, it's got the wooden
handle, very easy to use, the bristles
along, they don't really come attached so
you can get into every orifice of the
chamber and mouthpiece. Most devices that
you see will come equipped with a brush
like this, with the wire handle I sort of
got a plug shape at the end, so it's
useful for getting into those tricky
little corners at the bottom of your
baking chamber. So, if we look at the
ALD Amaze WOW, if I was going to give
this a basic clean, once I've taken the
herb out of my chamber or from using the
herb pod, included dosing capsule,
this makes this whole process a lot
easier. But what I do is I get my
cleaning brush, put it inside the chamber,
spin it around a bit and sort of just
knock out any residual herb particles
that may be in there.  Now, with the
mouthpiece, you can go ahead and do the
same thing. So, this is the old ALD Amaze
mouthpiece, it doesn't feature the
silicon insert, so for this basically it
just comes apart in a number of pieces
and almost all mouthpieces on vaporizers
will come apart, you've already given them
some sort of detailed clean. This
mouthpiece is obviously you're gonna
pick up, all the resin, tiny herb particles
or whatever that's gonna stick around
and mix. So I've opened up the mouthpiece
now, remove that filter, just chuck my
brush in, give it a nice little clean and
we're not going to be getting any sort
of unsavory particles into my mouth. So
now, other devices come with a little bit
more detail orientated cleaning method.
So the PAX3 picture here for
example, comes with ten of these prickly
cotton picks, so it's basically just like
a pipe cleaner or a little cotton stick
and it's got some coarse
fibers in the side to
help you get sort of any residual bits of
resin or stock down the side your vapor
path.
So with the PAX, it's got this bottom
loading aluminium baking chamber, then
underneath that baking chamber is a
single stainless-steel condensing rod
and in that rod it helps to cool down
the vapor before it hits the mouthpiece
at the top. So basically once you've
popped the mouthpiece off, it reveals
just this little metal hole underneath
and that's basically just where that rod
is. So with this pipe cleaner, 
stick it down the vapor path and any
sort of residual bits of oil or herb
particles that are stuck in there are
going to just come right on out. So in
doing that you can pop out that chamber
screen at the bottom of the device and
really give this thing a detailed clean.
So, getting your device back to the way
that it was, when you first bought it, is
super important if you're looking to get
the same flavor and effect so it's just
like with a pipe, if you're going to be
smoking from a pipe and you're going to
be using sort of the same pipe a day
after day, without replacing it or giving
it clean, you're gonna get those
disgusting residual flavors of ash or
whatever you're dealing with and it's
the same as herbs, if you've got them
Damiana or Lavender loaded up in your
vape, it's continuously using it and
loading up another chamber without
giving it a bit of a scrub, it's gonna
have a bad time and not really get the
most out of your device. So now I'm going
even further into the detail orientated
pathway. We've got the glass parts of the
Arizer devices, so the Arizer Air,  Solo,
Extreme etc, all come equipped
with these glass parts. Now, obviously you
can give them a little bit of a clean
with the brush, but most of the time all
that resin in their is so sticky, you'll
gonna get your brush stuck up, quick
smart, so the best way to clean needs is
there's some 100% pure Isopropyl Alcohol.
So, basically what you want to do is just
give your glass bits, just to soak in
this jar for a couple of days or even a
short period if you're going to give
them a bit of a brush as well and so
after a couple of days soaking in there
or
just sort of bubble melt off and into
the alcohol and then after that, you just
gonna make sure that you're giving your
glass parts a nice wash with some hot
water, so it doesn't have any of that
alcohol in there , that could possibly be
vaporized. The last method I'm going to
touch on, is just this compressed air, so
this is useful, sort of camera equipment
anything like that, that needs to be
given a detailed clean and if you're
using a compressor, there's a possibility
of any dust particles from the air, being
sort of pushed forward into your device
as well. So using one like this that sort
of has contained air, that's pure and the
inside is the perfect. So, if you had a
vape like the Arizer Solo,
it doesn't actually come into contact so
the herb, won't even come into contact
with this chamber, but little particles
can sort of fall out of the glass tube
down into the inside of the chamber, so
if you see there's sort of any blockages
or whatever and sort of just hit it with
this a little bit on the inside just
making sure that you're not doing it for too long
and so any little airways and you pass
it a blocked in now just be
automatically cleaned up. That's pretty
much it guys, that's a basic maintenance
guide, obviously anything a little bit
deeper, can be found inside your vape manual
that comes equipped with it. But we hope
this helps you keep the device and
shipshape condition. Please subscribe to
