How to Clean Your Dab Rig

A Guide for the Switch², Ghost², and XS

A clean rig is a better-performing rig. Regular maintenance preserves flavor, extends the life of your components, and keeps vapor production strong. Here's what you need and how to do it for each unit.

You'll need: 91%+ isopropyl alcohol (ISO), cotton swabs, paper towels, a small soaking container, and warm water.

Switch²

The Switch² has a glazed ceramic vapor pathway that doesn't degrade over time — keeping the insert and glass clean is all it takes.

After Every Session

1. Use a dry cotton swab to absorb residue from the insert immediately after use.
2. While still warm, follow with a cotton swab dipped in ISO to remove any remaining buildup.

💡 The Switch² app has a built-in Cleaning Assist Cycle (Settings page) that gently heats the insert to 100°F for easy cleaning.

Deep Clean

Remove the glass, aluminum crown, and insert. Wipe the heating chamber, vapor pathway, and crown with ISO-dipped cotton swabs. Remove the silicone seals for a thorough clean. Fill the glass with ISO, shake vigorously (add a pinch of salt for stubborn buildup), rinse with warm water, and air dry.

⚠️ Never use ISO on the outer shell — it damages the Blue Onyx finish. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of dish soap instead. Never torch inserts to clean them.

Ghost²

The Ghost² uses replaceable eChambers and a removable ceramic airflow regulator — both need regular attention.

After Every Session

1. Lightly heat the eChamber for 3–5 seconds to warm residue.
2. Use a dry cotton swab to absorb residue, then follow with an ISO-dipped swab.
3. Briefly dry-heat for 3–5 more seconds to evaporate remaining ISO.

Deep Clean

Remove the mouthpiece, silicone top, and airflow regulator. Soak all three in ISO for up to 20 minutes, then air dry for 20+ minutes before reassembling.

⚠️ Never soak eChambers in ISO. Only use a damp paper towel on the shell — ISO can fade the finish. Replace your eChamber every 3–12 months, or sooner if you notice burnt taste, leakage, or reduced vapor.

XS

The XS is built for travel — the included ISO-Snaps make it easy to maintain on the go.

After Every Session

1. While the eChamber is still warm, use a dry cotton swab to absorb residue.
2. Follow with an ISO-dipped swab for any stubborn spots.

Deep Clean

Remove the glass and wipe the heating chamber, carb cap, and dab tool with ISO-dipped cotton swabs. To clean the glass, fill with ISO, shake vigorously, rinse with water, and air dry. Blow into the mouthpiece to remove water before storage.

⚠️ Use 91%+ ISO for the eChamber and glass. Use 71% or lower on the unit body — higher concentrations can strip the paint finish. Never soak eChambers in liquid.

Quick Reminders

• Swab after every session — it's the single best habit for flavor and longevity.
• Never dry burn eChambers — always leave a small amount of product in the chamber.
• Always fully air dry before reassembling.
• Clean connection points regularly — a dirty connection is a common cause of performance issues.
