if you want to let other people try your ecig, keep a filled cartomizer with the condoms on it in your pocket (put a red dot on it so you can easily identify it). Switch it and let them try, then switch back to your regular carto.

Or, you can carry a condom with a hole punched in the tip to cover it when you let someone else try it. Any way you do it, you or other people will be exposed to the germs of whoever has recently tried it.

I guess an alcohol wet wipe wouldn't be a bad idea, either. Just disinfect it with a wipe before and after.

Lots of us have an e cig condoms we can slip on to our Carto and their cooties don't come close to ours. Also others carry special disposable mouth pieces or alcohol swabs. No, we are health conscious group of people.
I would never let a scary stranger suck on my mod. :) I do allow my friends and family try but they have to be cootie free too.

There is a vape store near my house. They use anti-bacteria stuff every time someone tries anything. I have let a few friends try it out. I don't think it bad. I however do use anti-bacteria cleaner on it after. I also have an extra drip tip as well to let people use. Most are my friends but I still get worried about getting sick. I haven't had a cold in over 2 years and want to keep it that way:)

Common sense applies, alcohol wipes can be applied… For family no problem, not so much for someone I don't know but i've not had that happen yet. I did try someone else's once but I had my own drip tip.

I wonder if there will be an episode of CSI where they trick the suspect into taking a hit off the ecig to get a sample of DNA.

I carry a "community" eGo with me if I go out. I keep a few freshly filled cartomizers with me with a handful of condoms that have a hole punched in them for people to try it out if they so desire. When I get it back, I use an alcohol pad and wipe it all down. I don't hand out ones that I use on a regular basis. Germs just aren't my thing.

no one has really wanted to try my mods, but i hang out with pretty touchy feely shary people on the general whole anyways. even with encouragement only coworkers at a cafe i've been at forever have wanted to try my pv, and i don't really think twice anyways because we'd always share cigarettes. i wouldn't share with strangers, even if i did pack an extra pv with the intent of sharing. while i don't really share anything else that comes into contact with the mouth, i suppose it's a leftover habit from sharing so many cigarettes, etc in the past.

I guess I'm not much of a germ-a-phobe. I always have the thing with me, but only a few people have even bothered asking any questions about it. Out of the few that do, only a couple have asked to try it. All have been women. I figure, if I would kiss you, then it's ok for you to suck on my ego... Really wasn't looking for the pun, but this totally worked out!

When it comes to friends or family I don't really care....thing is, if you are in regular proximity with someone you are sharing their germs already, but if they are obviously suffering from a cold at the time, I would not want to....but I think they wouldn't either. I think if my friends or fam were suffering from something catching they wouldn't put their mouths on my e-cig anyways. If its someone I don't know so well, I would just put a fresh drip tip on it then put my original drip tip back on the carto after they tried it. I would wash their drip tip later when I got home.
