How often do dry herb vaporizers even need to be cleaned? Some commenters on my channels have claimed to consistently keep all of their pieces clean, all of the time. Seemingly cleaning glass before it even gets the chance to cool from the last hit. I also know people with vapes who’s whips look like bark. So dirty you start to question everyone in the rooms’ habit.
Each time I’m tempted to clean a piece, I quickly think about how cheap it would be to replace. I’m an American after all. When I’ve come to the usual conclusion that it only makes sense to clean it. I whip out the rubber gloves, 91 percent rubbing alcohol, coarse salt, and pipe cleaners. Then I put on some music and spend an hour getting after it.
In regards to the XQ2, I didn’t see any official word on Arizer’s website for how often the components should be cleaned. I’m sure they’re hoping you’ll buy new ones from them. I also realize that it would be difficult for anyone to measure how often they should be cleaned. It would all depend on how much use they get. Arizer would have to say something like “clean glass after 375 uses.” Well who would ever track that?
I rarely clean my XQ2. I have used both tubes, bags and have an older whip that still works. But I have never bought any replacement pieces in 2 years of having it. I’m vaping as I write this, and to the right of me on my desk is a dirty Arizer XQ2. It’s heated to 380F and the whip is becoming increasingly browner. But I’m lit. I understand that if the filter in the neck piece was a little bit cleaner, maybe I’d get slightly larger clouds. Which of course I could get by just turning the temperature up. But I hardly think about the size of clouds anyways.
It’s mostly about the taste for me. My biggest deciding factor of whether I clean it or not, is if the vapor just tastes bad. When I can no longer stand the taste, then I pull out the cleaning materials named earlier. In the video above and below you can see an in-depth cleaning tutorial. They’re both the same. The bottom one is in case anyone doesn’t have a YouTube account.
