I get grossed out by tips that can't be removed for quick rinses. I have a few Iclear 16b's and really don't like using them, because of it. The condensation just sits in the tip too.

Yuk.... so true.... reminds me of the guy blowing out the spit from his trumpet... making me sick thinking about it.....
I take extra steps in keeping the few driptips I have as clean as possible and I do put the little condoms over the mouth piece on the atomizers I carry in the little back tote. Alcohol wipes in those little tear open bags like glass cleaners are very good to carry with ya and use. You can find them at WallyWorld or Sam's Club pretty cheap.

Now that you mention it, I must've swallowed more girls' salliva from sharing my e-cig than I've ever kissed.
I've spent my working life on construction sites, where sanitation is often sorely lacking. So I've never worried much about that stuff.
Go brass drip tip, that is if you have no allergies from brass...
"Researchers have discovered that copper and alloys made from the metal, including brass, can prevent antibiotic resistance in bacteria from spreading (www.telegraph.co.uk)".

I'm trying to picture a group of big, stout, grizzled construction guys passing around an ego device.......still thinking.... got it!!!!
(just joking)
I'm a lip gloss and lipstick wearer so I am always cleaning my drip tips with alcohol wipes to prevent any buildup of germs or lip product residue (eew). If I don't have any wipes handy I'll just give the tips a good rinse with really hot water and paper towels multiple times a day. My tank is also disassembled and washed out at least once a day as well.
My MVP is always in my jeans pocket or in my side purse pocket that I've dedicated to vape gear. I've never had a problem with pocket funk or lint getting in my drip tip, but for peace of mind I just toss on one of those disposable tip covers when traveling about.
As far as sharing? I almost never share my primary setup with other folks. Some call me stingy for not letting them drool all over my stuff but whatevs. I did wise up at larger functions after the zillionth request to try vaping and busted out an old matching evod tank and battery to bring with me at parties. That way they can check it out, share whatever germs they want, and I won't cry inside if they drop it.

Good idea to take a spare setup for parties, etc. Then you don't have to be constantly cleaning and sanitizing. Never did think about lipstick wearers and build up of yuk. Guess it makes sense though thinking about lipstick stains on drink glasses or on my cheek....lolI'm a lip gloss and lipstick wearer so I am always cleaning my drip tips with alcohol wipes to prevent any buildup of germs or lip product residue (eew).

I never realized how serious of a problem cooties is. Very sobering video. I don't think I'll ever share anything ever again and will be seriously looking for a protective suit to wear when out. It will be hot wearing it here in FL, but I must......

I keep forgetting to ask my doctor if she thinks IBD is because I was exposed to cooties as a kid.
Probably a search of the literature will show that cooties are/is a contributing factor to many disease processes. We all have been exposed to cooties and hence that is why we all get sick...lol. How is that for bone headed logic???
This guy seems to have a solution
The interchangeable tips is a good idea, my ego-c isn't really set up for it, but I've got a nice new vivi nova clearomiser coming which might sort it out.
Sorta looks like a snail shell..... What do you think WattWick?? Will this work?... it is located on the correct side of the pond for ease of purchase.
I can't help noticing his mouth isn't covered. I don't even dare to imagine which protected area he inserts his drip tip into.
