In case any of you have been wondering (I have). This is from the CDC site:

Q: Am I at risk for novel coronavirus from a package or products shipping from China?

There is still a lot that is unknown about the newly emerged 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and how it spreads. Two other coronaviruses have emerged previously to cause severe illness in people (MERS and SARS). 2019-nCoV is more genetically related to SARS than MERS, but both are betacoronaviruses with their origins in bats. While we don’t know for sure that this virus will behave the same way as SARS and MERS, we can use the information from both of these earlier coronaviruses to guide us. In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets. Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of 2019-nCoV associated with imported goods and there have not been any cases of 2019-nCoV in the United States associated with imported goods. Information will be provided on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus website as it becomes available.
I imagine the customs people would be sick in droves if packages were carrying live virus. The media would be alllll over that kind of news. My package today took a little over 3 weeks from airline departure to its release from customs before it headed here. Plenty of time for any evil germs to expire.

View attachment 866447 Shiny's! @Eskie I also have a medical procedure later this morning. My last visit to the dermatologist found a small Squamous cell carcinoma on my upper back. Caught it early, so should be no problem. They have to take a good chunk of skin though View attachment 866449 Have had some minor suspects removed before, but getting some stitches with this one. Let you know how it goes later.
Sending good thoughts Rob

Good morning shiners! Have a medical procedure today so I won't be around. Probably a good thing as no food or even coffee this morning. Trust me, you don't want me around without coffee anyway.
Ya, that is no fun. I used to get up at 2am so I could make a cup of coffee HA HA

There’s so much information on this thread about mods, attys and coils. I wonder if some of our experiences with them should be shared on the specific sub threads so people who aren’t Shinys are able to read some our feedback as well.

Not much information is posted on the sub forums anymore which is difficult when trying to find out about a specific device.

thoughts ??

Don't give me any more cloudy ideas:sneaky:. You know, that's one thing I don't have is a nice VV box.

I bought two ijoy Zenith 3 vv that hit hard and are built rock solid. Theyre getting hard to find now so if your interested in a VV mod I’d search for one soon. I bought a purple and rainbow. I think that was all that was available.

thanks for the reminder. I had 2 removed from my abdomen then had to get a larger area removed.

That was over ten years ago. I keep saying I’ll make an appointment but I hate going out. I suppose I should for this. Plus old people grow weird things on their bodies I saw 1st hand working in health care eeeew!!

I have the freemax fireluke mesh and the mesh pro, for flavor and vapor production they are hard to beat. They are my stay at home devices, big and cumbersome with the dual battery mods. I also have a few Smok Nords, for out and about they are great, otherwise just so-so. I'm beginning to lean toward the aio/pod/subohm devices, for me the best of both worlds. I presently have the aegis boost (only for 3 weeks) works almost as good as the freemax's. I just got the OXVA, haven't tried it yet , but I like the possibilities.
Note: I will never give up my freemax's, just looking for something almost or just as good, for out and about.

How's it going with you?
I'm all good thanks for asking. Sort of getting back into the swing after that fantastic holiday up north here in NZ. We've got a heat wave lingering. Unusual for NZ. Apparently it's going to get worse as the heat wave from Aussie is coming over the Tasman sea now. I don't do good with heat...had enough of that growing up in Africa. To make matters worse, this NZ sun is like a magnifying glass, and dangerous...because of the ozone hole above us. In SA I did landscaping and could stay in the summer sun all day. Here in NZ your'e looking for trouble doing that.

aegis boost
Just a heads up Dennis...Keep an eye on its leaking problem. I've been through a few coils and it's prone to leaking out the bottom of the coil on to the contact points. There's 2 threads here about the problem. I check mine frequently to wipe the liquid before it seeps into the battery.

I'm aware of the leaking problem, I don't like it, but I've learned to live with it. To be honest it doesn't leak that much, just enough to be irritating.

Ah ofcourse I remember seeing you over there. Apologies mate. Yeah like you say it's manageable. Worth the effort for me.

I have a couple freemax tanks. They’re the only one I bothered to grab a bunch of coils for. Only thing I dislike is the top slides too easily. I dumped s whole tank of juice in a jacket pocket. If you’re good about keeping them from accidentally opening they’re fine.

Don’t know how available they still are, but NRG tanks are also very good.

I don't think I will spill a tank in my jacket pocket, as I said in my previous post, they are stay at home devices.
