A well-maintained coil is essential to every dab session. If you have ever experienced a dirty, burnt-out coil, you know it drastically diminishes your wax's flavor and leaves a burnt taste in your mouth after every hit.
Luckily, with a simple cleaning and maintenance routine, you can extend the life of your vape coil so that it lasts as long as possible before you need to replace it. If you are unsure how to clean your coil or when to grab a replacement, read this blog for three coil-extending tips and specific maintenance tips for every vape coil we have!
How To Clean a Vape Coil
If you are new to cleaning a coil, there are a couple of tools to get your coil looking good: Ooze Resolution Micro Swabs and Isopropyl Alcohol. Below we will dive into our tips to remember while using each method:
1. Be Cautious When Submerging Your Coil In Cleaner
There are several types of coils, each with an internal airway that liquid can get trapped inside. While submerging the entire coil in alcohol is an effective way to get the stubborn residue out, you need to give the coil enough time to dry out completely, or else you risk frying the coil.
When it comes to cleaning the Onyx Atomizer specifically, we recommend adding 1-2 drops of alcohol into the blue dish and then heating the device until it's dry. It's best to avoid flooding the atomizer because it will take way longer to dry, you may risk inhaling the unwanted vapor. Also, you MUST avoid heating the dish after drying because it will burn it out, which would require a replacement immediately!
Another easy clean-up hack is to use an Ooze Resolution Micro Swab to gently clean your coil between deep cleaning sessions with Isopropyl alcohol. Taking a moment after each dab session to clean out the fresh residue will go a long way in keeping it clean and functioning. Remember, before cleaning, you MUST unscrew your coil or atomizer from your battery to prevent any power from flowing into it.
2. Use A Micro Swab to Clean the Crevices
An Ooze Resolution Micro Swab is your secret weapon for scrubbing out resin and gunk. These are designed to clean the coils in your atomizers and can reach the tight places regular swabs can’t. Plus, each Micro Swab has dual 100% cotton tips soaked in isopropyl alcohol. However, they won’t drip everywhere and make a mess; they have the perfect cleaning solution for vapes and will not flood your atomizer with liquid.
Each swab also comes individually packed, so you can use one at a time without wasting any by accidentally letting them dry out! We highly recommend grabbing a pack that comes with 100 micro-swabs so you can easily clean your coil regularly!
3. Clean Your Attachment After Dabbing and Replace When It is Time
Cleaning your coil after every couple of uses or once a week will extend your coil's lifespan. However, your attachment will not last forever even with regular cleaning and great care. Especially if you are loading in huge dabs every time, your coil will reach a point where it simply will not come clean, and your wax will start to taste burnt. The coil is a disposable accessory for your reusable vaporizer device. So, how often should you replace your vape coil?
How Often Should I Change my Onyx Atomizer?
Although the Onyx Atomizer is highly efficient and will leave minimal residue after every session, it will eventually need to be replaced, even with the tips we highlighted above. That being said, figuring out when it's time to replace your atomizer depends on two things: how often you use your device and how much wax you’re loading in at a time.
A good rule of thumb is to replace your atomizer every 2-3 weeks if you use your device for 1-2 sessions daily and load in an average dab size each time. Don’t forget to clean your atomizer with a Micro Swab between uses! If you still aren’t sure when to replace your Onyx Atomizer, here is what we recommend based on your specific device.
When To Replace Your Ooze Booster Onyx Atomizer
Since the Ooze Booster Extract Vaporizer can be used as both a bong adaptor and handheld vape, several factors determine when your atomizer will need to be replaced. If you are using the Booster exclusively as a bong attachment, you will need to replace your atomizer every 2-3 weeks if you are using it daily. However, if you are using it as a handheld vaporizer and loading in huge dabs, you will need to replace it more frequently than a light user.
On the other hand, cleaning your attachment after every couple of uses will extend the lifespan of your coil. However, even with regular cleaning and great care, your attachment will not last forever. Especially if you are loading in huge dabs every time, your coil will reach a point where it simply will not come clean, and your wax will start to taste burnt.
Cleaning Your Ooze Booster Onyx Atomizer
It’s essential to clean your coil after every couple of uses or once a week to extend its lifespan. Here are some helpful cleaning tips for each type of atomizer we offer:
For The Traditional Ooze Ceramic Atomizer
Make sure to heat your device for a few seconds before attempting to remove any residue with a micro-swab. This makes the residue more malleable and easier to wipe off. Since it is a ceramic atomizer, it can withstand high temperatures, so do not worry about damaging your coil with too much heat!
Although the ceramic atomizer can withstand high temperatures, do not continuously use it at high settings to prevent premature burnout.
For The Traditional Ooze Quartz Atomizer
Make sure to heat your device for a few seconds before attempting to remove any residue with a micro-swab. This makes the residue more malleable and easier to wipe off. Since it is a quartz atomizer, it can withstand high temperatures, so do not worry about damaging your coil with too much heat!
Although the quartz atomizer can withstand high temperatures, do not continuously use it at high settings to prevent premature burnout.
For The Traditional Ooze Dual Quartz Atomizer
Make sure to heat your device for a few seconds before attempting to remove any residue with a micro-swab. This makes the residue more malleable and easier to wipe off. Since it is a dual quartz atomizer, it can withstand high temperatures, so do not worry about damaging your coil with too much heat!
Although the dual quartz atomizer can withstand high temperatures, do not continuously use it at high settings to prevent premature burnout.
Cleaning your attachment after every couple of uses or once a week will extend your coil's lifespan. However, your attachment will not last forever even with regular cleaning and great care. Especially if you are loading in huge dabs every time, your coil will reach a point where it simply will not come clean, and your wax will start to taste burnt.

Since this is a traditional atomizer with a ceramic build, you will need to replace it once every 2-3 weeks with regular use. However, you can extend its life by cleaning it regularly with a micro swab after each sesh and not loading in huge dabs every time.
For The Traditional Ooze Quartz Atomizer
This atomizer is also designed to last 2-3 weeks with regular use and proper cleaning. Make sure to use a micro swab to clean the residue after every use and avoid loading in huge dabs every time.
For The Traditional Ooze Dual Quartz Atomizer
Similar to the quartz atomizer, the dual quartz atomizer will need to be replaced once every 2-3 weeks. Regular cleaning with a micro swab and avoiding loading in huge dabs every time will extend its life.
If you follow these maintenance tips, you can keep your vaporizer running smoothly and enjoy flavorful hits every time. Don't forget to stock up on cleaning supplies like micro swabs and isopropyl alcohol to keep your device in top condition!
Unclogging Atomizers
Keeping your atomizer clean is essential, but clogs can still happen, especially with frequent use. When wax or resin builds up in the airways, it can restrict airflow and affect your vape’s performance. Here are a few easy steps to unclog your atomizer and keep it running smoothly:
- Heat the Atomizer Gently: Before removing any clogs, heat your device for a few seconds. This will soften any hardened wax or residue inside the atomizer, making it easier to clean.
- Use a Micro Swab: After warming the atomizer, use an Ooze Resolution Micro Swab to clean out the loosened residue gently. The dual-tipped swabs are perfect for reaching tight spots without risking damage to the internal components.
- Avoid Overloading Your Atomizer: Prevent clogs by loading smaller dabs and avoiding overpacking the atomizer. This reduces the chance of excess wax getting trapped in the airways, ensuring a smooth draw every time.
By incorporating these quick tips into your routine, you’ll keep your atomizer clear and maintain consistent vapor quality throughout each session.
A little maintenance goes a long way to ensure the best performance and longevity of your device.
