OH WOW, Stunning @Pigs , just stunning. So this area is the Monaro Plains, on the Snowy Mountains highway yes?
She's a big beautiful country you have there. I LOVE tramping, hiking etc. Just to really get out there away from everything.

At the end of it you feel like you have had an "emotional massage" Like a computer that's been defragmented:D
Yes ! The Snowy Highway splits off west souwest from the Monaro Highway at Cooma. My photos were taken on the McLaughlin river where it crosses the Monaro hwy. Google maps is a bit out of kilter there but you're in the right area.

It was my first exploratory visit to that country and I tried to go in without preconceptions. It's 2 1/2 days later and I'm still processing the feel of the place. Sounds like you understand what I'm trying to say.
One of the best things about that walk was that I only found 2 pieces of plastic all day - 1 x coke bottle and half a plastic bag. Current visitors show respect for the place.
It's old old country and doesn't give up it's secrets too easily. You have to tread lightly and keep your eyes open and your ears peeled. I feel privileged to have had a glimpse.

My rta deck PNP thingamajigger is coming today yay. Now that it's actually coming I'm comfortable telling people that if anyone else wants them (it's the voopoo one) there is a supplier in the United States that has it for about $22 and that would be Hoosier e-cigarettes. The shipping is reasonable as well it's not one of those places that charges $8 to ship something small I think it was $4.

vape mail day!! Twice in a row,WOW!! that never happens he he.

View attachment 910977

On the left rocking the Asmodus Colossal (you rock @chanelvaps ) with my new Hellvape Destiny rta
On the right my ol' trusty Jackaroo with another Hellvape Destiny RTA.

Pic doesn't do justice but the atty on the Asmodus actually pairs pretty good with the color of the Colossal.

PSA:If anyone decides to give the Hellvape Destiny RTA a try these are 2 little tips i can offer:

-Don't over fill,if you fill it all the way to the top you might get some spitback.
-When it's time to rewick,don't fluff.
Just pop in the cotton,cut just to the side of the atty and tuck in,no need to fluff.

Had to get another Hellvape Destiny,love this little atty,no wicking hassle,good flavor,no leaking and it looks good.
The destiny really is a phenomenal RTA it's what I now recommend for People's First RTA because it really is that simple and it's such a pleasant experience. Nobody has to go around faffing about with their cotton you just shove it in the dang port LOL

I know a lot of people have the vaporesso swag two does it not let you modify the wattage in smart TC mode? Because this is the most unsatisfying Vape I have ever experienced in temperature control LOL it could not be over 10 watts. I have looked everywhere to try to find instructions for this and it's just nowhere just like always you can never get information on how to change the damn wattage in TC

Hey shinies, been a while. Hope everyone is safe and well <3

I'm just chillin' with some old friends. Got a box from Ejuice Corner today and they threw in three 100mls of hand sanitizer. Pretty great for an already great vendor. No real shiny news here. I'm in kind of a funk, I guess. Distancing and the general feeling of uncertainty are taking a toll. Virtual hugs all around :D

Hey folks :)

Spent all night worried,didn't know if to tell my pops or not about my thing.

Decided not to tell him,I'm not a liar but in this case i think i can forgiven.
Just told him that next week i am giving English classes and that it would just be to prepare someone for their English test at the Escuela de Idiomas (Spanish official Language School).

I'm getting only 20 sessions of radiotherapy so that is the time I'll be ''supposedly'' giving english classes.

Pops is already stressed enough with his health and him being in a good place (emotionally i mean) is a big plus for him,don't want him to get worried so yeah a small white lie.

Guys think I'm doing the correct thing?
I mean if my case were worst i would tell him but since they caught my Big C early i think it's best to spare him the trouble and him being stressed about,he already stressed and depressed enough.

I talk so much about my pops i thought i would present him to you folks:

My new Hellvape Destiny RTA arrived,matchy matchy with the Colossal i got from @chanelvaps ,picking it up in a while so I'll post some pics later.

cheers

P.S: big headache today and not enough sleep so i haven't quoted any of the posts directed to me but know that i truly appreciate all the posts of support.
You know best. But my mother would kill me if I were diagnosed with cancer and didn't tell her, as I would her if the roles were reversed.

View attachment 910777

Matches perfectly the Colossal i got from @chanelvaps ,thanks again :)

Had to get a second one since i love this atty,highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to try something new.

Decided to splurge on vaping stuff because at the moment I'm in my meh what the hell phase...already passed my why oh why god,why me!! phase.

Yeah starting radiotherapy next week,probably monday.
Results came back,had to get some more ''intrusive'' tests and now I'm the proud recipient of colon cancer....yay me.

Doc said they got it at a very very early stage,so yeah at least that is something.

Well anyway sorry for the downer post,I'll post a pic of my vape mail when it arrives.

cheers

Pucha amigo, esa cosa es puta madre (@AngeNZ will know too :lol:) pero fuerza y es bueno lo detectaron temprano. Siempre recuerda que estamos aqui para apoyar, distraerte o para que ventees. Abrazos

Morning shinies ;)

Now I want a Destiny RTA too :facepalm:

Sorry I've not been on since Friday, so catching up is too much at this point - I really really hope I've not missed anything important!

I've just been upping my physical therapy game as of late, she said I'm much improved anyway. Getting a bit sore though!

My love to you all, and hope everyone is well.
Keep kicking booty , Op! Glad progress has been steady :)

Keep kicking booty , Op! Glad progress has been steady :)

Yeah it has been.. today was my final in-home PT visit, graduated to out patient now..

that will likely be a bit more challenging because I still have stability issues because my core muscles are in such bad shape (although if I have too many problems with it we will go back to in-home for another month) as a result of which car rides on curvy roads are still an issue...

But I'm looking forward to the effort (and overcoming it all) and feel happy anyway! I feel like I'm on the road to somewhere good anyway!

For now i will keep my pops in the dark,if and only if it is to much for me and i can't keep up the facade i will go full disclosure and let him know what's up.

Cloud, it's your Dad and your life and your decision. I wish you both the best of luck and speedy recovery.

That said, unless you're planning on never telling him the truth, ever, think about how he may react when you finally tell him about your ordeal and why you didn't include him. He may be doubly hurt--by your diagnosis and by the fact that you excluded him. Parents want to take care of their children--always--no matter how unwell they may be themselves. Your Dad loves you, don't forget that. :wub:

So could someone please let me know whether or not you can change the wattage in smart TC with the vaporesso swag 2 because for the life of me I still can't figure it out. I'm becoming frustrated enough to pitch it against the wall. I cannot find the answer to this anywhere I have searched up and down every Forum every website the manufacturer's information everything and it's just no mention
