I clean my tip a few times a day, since my tip is constantly being put in warm dark places. But I usually clean just the tip and not the shaft, because the shaft is too long and it's too much work.
Is your tip all crusty?

It doesnt matter what the tip is made of, the crusty gunk will build up over time.
This why we wash dishes and dont re-use condoms. Keep vaping gear clean on daily basis is part of your daily hygiene routine.

I smoked cigarettes the same way but now with vaping i have my lips around the driptip so the end is just past my lips and thats why i clean my tip usually two/three times a day, If i start to see any build up i clean it.
Ultrasonic cleaner works awesome for this situation. That thing was the best $30 i've spent in a while. I use it for everything vape related [emoji16]
That's just lip gunk. All you need to do is wipe it down with alcohol, preferably vodka, or if that's not available, rinse the tip out in hot water.
I used to have that problem. There are lots of remedies. The most effective remedy should be taken care of at birth. Not a fun thing to go through later on in life when permanent memory storage is in effect.
As far as drip tips go? quick rinse everyday.
Just riffing off the post title here. If the situation is more complex I apologize for my intrusion.

Impulse buy when I bought a different tip. That small one is REALLY small. It's like sucking on a....nvm...
Thanks for this! My lips are very sensitive, always dry, and these are a hit, specially with drippers!!!
I use far too many paper towels with my vaping. I've started using Scott Duramax (washable).. I use them for everything, even wrapping my KF when travelling

Well, I can sum it up in just a few words...Five pages...that's kind of scary.
Stop worrying about it.
little bit of warm water on a towel, then micro fiber it after words, i got a 24k gold tip and it shows everything, metal tips do it the worst, ceramic or (liquid ceramic) tips show less and plastic tips and wood tips are the best (wood for cloud chaseing, plastic for a carto or something not so hot)
Never have this happen to me. The only time my tanks get cleaned is when I'm changing out my rayon wicks which is every 2-3 weeks or the off chance I drop my mod and the drip tip lands in something nasty, the tip comes off and gets a rinse.
If you have buildup of crud on it then yeah, clean it off. If you have a weak immune system then clean it more.
I've been using 3 different EHPro Kayfuns for the last 10 months or so with the stock drip tips. When I do clean them it's just a rinse in warm/hot water then put the stopper in the sink and put all the pieces in the water and I remove the old wicks, a quick swish around in the water and then drain the water and dry everything off with a paper towel.

I agree DC2. I think a lot of people don't know much about microbes and human existence. There is an interesting TEDx lecture given on the subject of 'Are We Too Clean?' by Claire M. Fraser. Here's what is said about her:
"Claire M. Fraser, PhD, is a world-renowned scientist who launched a new field of study microbial genomics and, through her ground-breaking research and pioneering leadership in this field, has fundamentally changed our understanding of the diversity and evolution of microbial life on Earth."
A couple of highlights for me:
A little after 2:00 in the video; there are about 10 times the number of microbial cells in the human body than human cells. They weigh in at between 3-5 pounds and would almost fill a gallon jug. Without them we would die.
A bit after 14:50; Talk about the 'ick' factor, she talks about fecal transplant to restore human GI microbes that were decimated from antibiotic use.
Here's the video:
I'm not worried about microbes on my drip tip even if I never clean it. A dirty drip tip is 'cleaner' than my mouth is 99% of the time.
Now, I'm not saying it's a good idea to go out and play in animal droppings or to eat uncooked chicken, but IMO our society is too clean today and I feel no desire to join in. It's unhealthy
