Below, the full guide builds on the quick brief with detailed product considerations and buying guidance to steer your choice.

For everyday vapers, maintaining a clean vaping device is important to avoid nasty, undesirable tastes. While cleaning may not be the preferred activity when you only want to take puffs from your device, it is best to clean your vaporizer to optimal performance, durability, and longevity. This practice is particularly needed if you take your vaporizer with you as an accessory.

For oil cartridge vaping, it is essential to keep your device clean after every use. To many oil cartridge enthusiasts, the idea that regular cleaning is necessary might come as a surprise. Think about where your device is going, and also think about the times you may have shared your vape with people. Yuck! With that being said, take the time to go over our easy, simple steps to keeping your 510 thread battery clean. Keep reading to find the solution that suits you best.

But First, What is 510 Thread?

The term "510 thread" refers to the threading commonly used in the connection between vape cartridges and batteries. The number "510" corresponds to the specific measurement of the thread pitch, indicating the standardized size and threading style. This threading system has become an industry standard, allowing for compatibility and interchangeability between various components, such as vape pens, batteries, and cartridges. The 510 thread has become widely adopted in the vaping community, providing a universal connection for seamless sessions.

How to Clean Exxus 510 510 thread batteries

Our 510 thread batteries are unique! Many of our vaporizers, like the Exxus Snap VV, Exxus RIZO, and Exxus Palm Pro, have 510-thread adapters that can be easily attached to your chosen oil cartridge. The 510 adapters, being magnetic and petite, can occasionally accumulate residue from your cartridge, leading to their contamination.

Just like the latest Exxus Snap VV Pro, a one-of-a-kind feature is that some of our vaporizers have an LED screen that lets you see your desired temperature/voltage setting. With daily vaping, you may observe your vaporizer developing a slick, slimy sensation, often attributed to the natural oils on your fingers. This kind of issue can lead to blurriness on your screen.

At Exxus, we want to give you true, ultimate sessions with our products. So here are the step-by-step instructions for keeping your Exxus 510 thread batteries tidy at all times:

Step 1: Turn Off Your Exxus 510 thread battery

Make sure to switch off your vaporizer by pressing the power button five times rapidly. First, put your vaporizer aside and let it rest. You do not want to clean your device when it is warm.

Step 2: Unattach the Magnetic Adapters (if applicable)

If your chosen Exxus vaporizer has a 510-thread magnetic adapter, take it out slowly and steadily (it may be covered with residue, mostly if you have not cleaned it in a while). After removing the magnetic adapter, take a small cup and create a mixture of equal parts alcohol and water for dilution. Submerge your adapters in this solution and allow them to soak for approximately ten minutes.

Once the adapters are spotless, let them air dry or simply wipe them with a cloth or paper towel.

Step 3: Wipe Down the LED Screen (if applicable)

Then, if your vape has an LED screen, use a damp wipe to clean the outside of your device gently. Make sure the lights or numbers are bright and ready for another session!

Step 4: Drying is Important

Allow all components cleaned with alcohol to dry thoroughly. You really need to be careful when you are cleaning your device as you do not want to inhale any unwanted substance. Use a dry paper towel to wipe away any leftover residue and let it completely dry.

Step 5: Turn It On and Puff!

If needed, assemble your vaporizer back to your favorite cartridge, quickly press it five times, choose your preferred temperature, and take a big inhale for the most precious clouds of Exxus.

Frequently Asked Questions

How-To FAQs

Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.

How do I clean my Exxus cartridge vaporizer?

Power it off with five button presses and let it cool, remove and soak the magnetic 510 adapter in equal parts alcohol and water for about ten minutes, wipe the screen gently, dry all parts fully, then reassemble.

What is 510 thread?

It is the standardized threading that connects vape cartridges to batteries. Because it is the industry standard, most cartridges and 510 batteries are interchangeable, and it is the main contact point that collects residue.

How often should I clean it?

Clean it regularly, ideally after use. Residue builds up on the adapter and screen with daily vaping, and it collects even faster if you carry or share the device.

Why let everything dry before reassembling?

So you do not inhale any leftover alcohol or cleaning solution. Wipe away residue with a dry towel and let each part air dry completely before putting it back together.
