I know, it's a goofy question. Sometimes my drip tips have gack in them, and I just blow them out. Do you regularly clean out your drip tips? Or am I just being...uh...... the ....-part-thing-like?
Do you clean your drip tips?

Not goofy at all!
You should clean them-skin from your lips and residue from eating and drinking and saliva will build. Warm water bath and a good rinse! Be careful with cleaners/alcohol, sometimes you can ruin a tip.

Sometimes my lip skin is stuck to my stainless from being hot I guess....gross lol
I boil the metal and pyrex ones and I warm water rinse then a quick bath in vodka followed by a little more warm water for the delrin and acrylic ones. Just got a couple of ceramic drip tips and haven't decided how to clean them yet because they aren't glazed on the inside (just the outside - weird).
I really like the metal calabash tips the best, and the metal vase type the second best. But they get the gunkiest.
I just use dish liquid and let them soak in a bowl-swish-rinse and air dry.
I use alcohol wipes only if someone borrows my pv. The finishes can start to come off early if harsh cleanings are done and some acrylics (cheaper ones) will start to break down.

I clean mine pretty regularly....especially when they have "gack"... OMG...LOL!!! I usually just throw them in a dish or coffee cup of very hot water with some dish soap, let em soak a while and rinse well. I have put the plastic ones in a glass with a denture tablet a couple times, but do not notice any remarkable difference doing it this way vs. hot water and soap.
Every evening I take a shot glass, fill it with vodka, drink it, fill it up again and drop my drip tip in it and rinse it out every morning. Then I fill a coffee cup...oh, never mind.
I soak mine in Efferdent (denture cleaner) all sorts of nasty gunk comes off them too.
Our mouth is full of germs and bacteria. It would not be wise not to clean them regularly IMO.

This is one of my major gross outs !

Same here - I clean them daily.
I like the cheapy delrin shorty drip tips best and they're only about 2 bucks each. Wash with a little liquid soap and warm water at least 1x a day. When it's time to toss the carto, I usually toss the drip tip too.
Soak them in a little vodka, then look at the cup and wonder how vodka,orange juice and GACK would taste.

I usually wash mine in warm water and then throw them in the ultrasonic cleaner along with my boiled atomizers.

I like to eat bean burritos from Taco Bell and then get a good vape afterwards. This leads to a plaque of stewed beans with a component of taco sauce mixed with old lip skin that accumulates on my tip.
This is most beneficial when sitting in on a long lecture or going for extended air travel.. No vaping allowed, yet peeling off the residue and chewing it like jerky, or sometimes placing it under the tongue for prolonged, savory enjoyment gets me through every time.
Why clean and wash all that goodness down the drain? Keep it for emergencies. You never know, right?
