A member asked:
I shared a vape with someone who had a cut at the corner of their mouth but it didnt look like herpes but he smoked it on the other side instead of that and i made sure i still wiped it off multiple times will i contract it if it is?

Sores at the corner of the mouth usually are due to angular cheilitis, not herpes. But even if herpes, vigorous and repeated wiping would markedly reduce the risk, probably nearly to zero. (The much higher risk in shared vaping equipment is for colds, flu, and COVID.)
