To clean a cannabis e-rig, power the device off, let it cool, then disassemble it and soak the atomizer and glass attachment in 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol for 15 to 30 minutes. Scrub leftover residue with a cotton swab, rinse the glass with warm water, and let every part air dry before you reassemble. Never submerge the battery base or any electronic component in liquid.
