    Default "Let me try it"

    Occasionally i get asked from someone to try the e-cigarette. Wiping the mouthpiece with a piece of cloth before and after someone else use the e-cig protects us enough or vicious germs could pass trough? I'm thinking herpes, mono, etc.

    I've started keeping a spare new cartridge at hand when i know i will meet a smoker.

    You could get Alcohol wipes, would be better for germ killing.
    If your afraid of germs, you should carrys some anyway.
    Personally I am not sure I would let someone I didnt know

    I have some cartridges that I'm not too crazy about. I keep a box of those in my purse for such occasions. When the person is done testing... (somebody I know...I don't let strangers try it)...I throw the cart away. Precautionary methods for me. It's cold season and I hate getting colds.
    I'm in the "no drama zone". Save it for the soaps.

    I keep mouthpieces/carts - at work and in my cig-case. At first it was because I thought I'd need them. I haven't.

    Be careful about hygiene - carelessness isn't worth the worry it can cause. Though the risks of 'sharing' are small they are very easy avoid.

    Enjoy your e-cig.

    I usually keep a cart or two with me that I no longer use that I'll throw a few drops in and let someone go to town with.

    The only person I ever let take drags from my carts is my girlfriend

    The New Zealand report on e-cig safety regards sharing mouthpieces as an absolute no-no. You are correct to assume germs could be easily passed that way.

    Be especially wary of sharing your toy with any lady friends. a new study concludes that they do in fact actually carry more cooties !

    I let a young man try my penstyle device tonight, but I'd have let him try all my other devices it he'd wanted. RAWWR.

    "Some bacteria preferred clean hands"
    That's got to be a major slap in the face for people with OCD who are constantly washing their hands to get rid of bacteria. teeheehee
    Also makes me wonder what the bacteria ratios for other female parts are and how they compare to the male counterparts. Would take a very charming person to convince their employer to fund, or even give approval for that research though..
