This Britaces UK guide will take you through easy and professional level steps to ensure you clean your vape tank correctly to avoid flavour ghosting and accumulation.
The Benefits of Cleaning Your Sub-Ohm Tank On a regular basis
Dirty tanks can:

Cause e-liquid flavours to mix (flavour ghosting)
-
Shorten the life of coils because of the coagulation of residues.

Regular service after 1-2 weeks increases the taste as well as the life of the equipment.
