Herpes from Vape Pen?

Is it possible to transmit this through a vape pen? Used a friend's pen who dated a girl who used to get cold sores. My friend has never had one, but another friend made a comment and made me feel worried afterwards. Thanks.

Extraordinarily unlikely scenario.  Usually requires direct contact with a sore in order to transmit.  In any case, the majority of the population has HSV-1, usually herpes on the lip (cold sores).  It's not an STD and it's also not worth excessive worrying.  It's a mild annoyance in almost all cases.

Don't kiss someone with an active cold sore and you'll probably never get it.
