You’re correct the herb chamber is what you will need to keep clean on the Easy Valve. The oil collects above the top screen in the area that tapers to the tube which the valve fits over.

just a week into the ‘classic’ experience. very happy. i’m an old guy, so lots of this escapes me, but since i got the easy valve, am i correct tht i only need to clean the chamber where the lavender and chamomile goes? beyond that, i am also confused as to where the honey oil is supposed to collect. thanks a million for your site.

About a tablespoon works for me.

I didn’t see it in the post, however I apologize if it was there and I missed it. I’m trying to figure out how much sea salt to add to the rubbing alcohol… help?

Re: brushes to clean the chamber/screen/grinder, dry, after each use, paintbrushes seem a little too nice for the task and the brushes are soft.

I recommenced “acid brushes” – they’re pretty much perfect. They’re very cheap horsehair brushes often with cheap rolled tin handles, the bristles are fairly stiff, they’re disposable, and often purchased in a pack of many for very little $. Used by a variety of industries, I use them with alcohol for soldering cleanup. Or my volcano. They’re all over the net for dirt cheap, here is a variety pack of 12 for $1.78!

I recommend a vacuum, but you’re never going to be able to get it perfectly ‘mail safe’ without taking it apart me thinks. There’s probably some crumbs or dust that have settled into the base.

Yobo – have you tried water filtration?

I have had mine for a couple years now, I have the early model without the air filter. Even after I clean the parts and replace the bag, the vapor is pretty harsh on the throat and lungs. Even at a setting of 5.5 it has me coughing like crazy. I’m tempted to take the whole thing apart and take a look around, but I don’t know. Got any ideas?

The bag will start to get sticky and eventually may crack and leak. I change the bag every time I clean.

The easy valve parts are disposable – no cleaning involved.
