"Let me try it"

[buby]

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 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.

oooh you are awful,
did you get his phone number .....

"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..

 

[TropicalBob]

Good thing you didn't have a Screwdriver in your hand, Tallulah. No telling what he would have asked for and/or assumed.

Never share a mouthpiece with a stranger....chances are on the high side that you may contract what the strangers has..I have to entertain about 50 to 60(more at times) strangers/patients everyday..I sterilised all my mouthpieces with autoclaving and surgical spirits and not to be reused until 2 days later...yep, I have almost more than 1000 mouthpieces in my offices in allotted batches ...need to teach safe hygienic methods too...if you want to let others try out your e-cig...

I'm going to invent an e-cig "safe vape" condom.

Maybe an "after vape" pill.

... back to the lab, Igor ...

I'm starting a new non-profit foundation for the promotion of safe vaping. I'll be calling it VAPES - Vapers Around the world Practicing Ecig Safety. Please send all donations to me via paypal. I'll be setting up the non-profit classification with the IRS soon and all your donations will be tax deductible. As with most other non-profits after overhead costs and my salary the remaining 5% of the funds raised will go directly to research on e-cig safety in the form of funding TBob's e-cig condom studies. Be sure to dig deep into those wallets so that I can ensure that I get lots of travel time in and free vaping products while doing absolutely nothing to make your e-cigs safer!

 

[Weegie Burd]

Do you know, I never thought of this.

I've not been out in public with my new wee gizmo yet (hardly had a chance to try it in private but I will when when my throat clears up) so I'm glad I read this thread before the situation arises.

I just know my friends, and being that I live in Glasgow where total strangers feel the need to chat to you in the streets , I'll have plenty of people wanting to try it out.

I have a good excuse though for changing carts, without offending people, in that I suffer for the curse of coldsores. I wouldn't wish them on anybody else, well maybe a few people lol, but I doubt I'd wish them on anyone who asked to try [and I was willing to allow] my eCig.

Next time I have a coldsore I must remember to smear a cart all over it and keep it for special occasions.

Someone beat you to it just go to any pharmacy - I think they have miss labeled them though - they said "finger cots" size XS

Finger cot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would suggest you put you efforts in to the pill LOL!

 

[TropicalBob]

Finger cots? Wonderful. I'll stop work on that e-cig condom project now. But I can assure you that my Levis won't have a tiny circle embossed under the left rear pocket from carrying one of these for the sake of a safe vape!

Back to work on the morning after-vape pill ...

 

[Mommyshann]

In that case I must inform all those wishing to donate to VAPES that the 5% leftover after my salary and overhead costs will be going to fund TBob's Morning After-Vape pill rather than his e-cig condom.

 

[leaford]

Weegie, I don't normally complain about people's avaters, but I mean really, flipping everyone off? That's rude, offensive, mean-spirited.. oh... wait... OOOHHHHHH! There's a cigarette there! OK, carry on, then.
