Looking to give your Sutra Mini a face lift and get it sparkling clean like when you first took it out of the box? Well you’re in luck because in this Sutra Vape deep dive we are going to take you step by step on how to get your Mini looking good enough to strut down the cloud runway.

Keep reading for some tips on how to ensure you're getting the most out of your dry herbs and concentrates - all by simply staying on top of your cleaning!

How To Clean Your Mini Vaporizer?

Cleaning the Mini Vaporizer is a simple process but one that is highly dependent on which of the two dual use modes you are using it in. Vaped dry herbs and vaped concentrated materials react very differently and have each of their own specific cleaning needs.

To make things easy, we’ve broken down this guide into how to clean up these materials on the individual session level and then how to go about doing a more intensive deep cleaning.

By using a combination of daily maintenance and occasional thorough cleanings you are guaranteed to have the smoothest of Mini sessions!

Cleaning Up After A Dry Herb Pack

No matter which material you use with your Mini, you are going to have to do a bit of cleaning each time you use it. This is because to reload your herbs or wax, you will first have to remove the leftover vaped materials that you’ve just finished vaping.

To get started cleaning the dry herbs from your Mini Vaporizer you will first remove the mouthpiece and then proceed to use the included cleaning brush to knock out the now discolored materials free. If you have just been seshing, make sure to knock the vaped herbs into an ash tray or something similar as it may still be quite hot.

Remove the bulk of the vaped herbs with your tool and should there be any pieces still stuck on, make use of a q-tip to scrape away at the holdovers. By doing this after every pack, you are going to prevent herbs from getting stuck and never give them the chance to get stuck on.

Also remember to take a look at the Mini’s screen - it’s the easily removable blue wrapped component right on the bottom of your mouthpiece. Make use of the included tool to brush and pick off any herbs that have clung on. As a note, the more often you do this the less likely you will receive a clog.

Cleaning Up After A Concentrate Pack

For cleaning your concentrates from the Mini, remove the mouthpiece and carefully take out the glass quartz chamber from within. Be careful as the cup can be hot if you take it from the device immediately, so always give it time to cool.

Whenever you vape concentrate there is going to be some left over materials still in the chamber post session. You’re going to want to remove these sticky leftovers before they have the chance to build up and become a problem. Excess leftovers can alter the flavor of your rips and if you let it go too long even prevent it from functioning properly.

To get rid of this make use of a q-tip or cleaning swab and roll it around the inside of the cup. The Mini Oil Cups were made with easy maintenance in mind, that’s why they are the exact size for a standard q-tip head to fit in and still have movement to wipe off the offending concentrates.

Make sure to twirl the q-tip around several times to give it enough time and surface area to properly remove your oils. After completing, we recommend taking another q-tip and making sure that nothing has spilled into your chamber itself by giving it a whip down as well.

Deep Cleaning Your Mini

To achieve a truly thorough deep cleaning of your Mini, we recommend breaking down all of its various components including the mouthpiece, screen, and concentrate chamber in order to let each part get the attention it deserves.

For your mouthpiece, make sure to give both the inside and the outside of the component a complete wipe down with a cleaning cloth or something like our Wulf Wipes. This will get rid of any build up you may not have noticed and ensure your airflow stays clear.

To complete a deep clean of the screen, slowly push against the metal component until it pops out of the rubber blue surround. From here you can soak the metal screen in isopropyl alcohol to remove any and all build up easily. Once done, simply wait until it is fully dry and then replace the screen.

Similar to your screen, when you want to do a heavy clean on your Mini’s oil cups we recommend removing the red rubber rep top before soaking the chamber itself in isopropyl alcohol to completely remove old oil residues.

Clean Up And Vape Up!

Now that cleaning up is done, it’s time to pack your Mini with all of the potent dry herbs or concentrates that you can and get to enjoying a fresh session! While cleaning can seem like a chore at first, you’ll realize you are making your sessions that much better by staying on top of it!
