Cleaning & Care
After each session empty the bowl and tap out any loose residue. Soak the glass bowl, mini-whip and balloon mouthpiece regularly in isopropyl alcohol and rinse thoroughly with water afterwards.
Cleaning Intervals
| Part | Frequency | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Glass bowl | after each session | empty, tap out |
| Glass parts, mouthpiece | weekly | isopropyl alcohol soak, then rinse and dry |
| Screens | when draw resistance increases | clean or replace |
| Air filter | every 4-6 months | replace (Arizer recommendation) |
| Housing | as needed | damp cloth, unit unplugged |
Avoiding Common Mistakes
- No water or alcohol in the heating tower
- Only clean glass parts once fully cooled
- Replace screens rather than scraping them free with sharp metal
Suitable replacement screens are available, among other places, as a set for Extreme Q, V-Tower and XQ2 (Planet of the Vapes).
