First off, in order for something to be touched, it doesn't need mass. The fact that matter isn't intangible isn't because matter has mass but because of electromagnetic force. The outer shell of every atom is made of electrons, electrons repel one another, so when two atoms come close, the electron shell prevents them from entering each other. All DE needs is to have a negative charge so that it and electrons would naturally repel one another.

If DE does have a negative charge like an electron it would also explain why DE can be infused into matter via my ionization example. An ion is just an atom that has gained or lost electrons so an atom that has been charged with DE would be an ion that has added DE instead of electrons.

We actually have more evidence of DE not having mass than having it. Notice how in nearly every representation of concentrated DE it's always floating? Even in the Khepri image we have bits of it floating away from the main mass of energy and the Khepri is sitting on it, possibly ising her own weight to keep it from floating away. Things with mass are effected by gravity. If the DE had mass it wouldn't float, it'd fall. The only other explanation would be it being less dense than air but with the rest of my evidence it would seem to me that DE is a substance that has no mass but has a negative charge preventing a concentration of DE from taking up the same space as actual matter.

As for the DE going away, I think that isn't the DE becoming something else and more like the DE dispersing over a larger area. As stated DE seems to have a negative charge should it would repel itself. So when nothing is keeping it concentrated in one spot (i.e. when a mamono dies) the DE repels itself and spreads over a much wider area. It's not gone, just diluted to the point that detecting it is much, much harder. Electricity and heat do the same thing.
