I doubt if anyone here cares if you vape or not... that you're still breathing is kinda miraculous, and though I don't even really know you, I'm really glad you are! Great to hear how healthy you're getting!!!

ETA: On the subject of old vape gear you'll be selling... if you have any tight-draw RDAs, I'd be VERY interested!!! I'm a real archaic vaper myself.
I have a few RDA's and tanks but none are super tight on the draw (though some are adjustable). The one (it's a tank) with the tightest draw I have is probably my Cthulhu v2, with the single coil deck installed. The only problem is they can be quite finicky and can leak on you if not assembled just right. When you get used to it though, it is a
very nice vape. I will be getting them all cleaned up in the next few days and will compile a list along with the mods I have. It's not a gigantic collection but I'd rather move it here where I know people will appreciate the stuff.
As far as myself, I am still doing
really well. Actually the last couple of PFT's (Pulmonary Function Tests) I did produced better than the numbers I could muster before the transplant. I have been spending some time with others that are either pre-transplant or just recently transplanted to at least share with them what to expect along the way physically, mentally, and financially. I talked with my rehab trainers about speaking in some of their support groups for people that are considering transplant due to the severity of their various conditions. Anything I can do to help answer anyone's questions or concerns along the way, I'm all for it. I get up every day, and I thank my donor. I'll never meet that young man in person but nonetheless he saved my life and I will be forever thankful for it.
I hiked almost 3 miles last weekend on some fairly hilly land. Had no real trouble breathing or anything; my legs got tired before my lungs did.. lol.. I have also been able to resume doing yard work and cut my front and back lawn last week. It doesn't seem like much but was a pretty big thing for me since I have physically been unable to do that for almost 3 years prior... Of course, being in Louisiana it's ready to cut again after only a week..
Again, thank you all. As has been mentioned, nobody here knew me much as I was a pretty new poster comparatively speaking when all of this happened. I'm not even sure why I picked this forum to share my journey throughout all of this. There are many other places I could have done it, but this one seemed like the place. I still am a vaping proponent and would recommend it still to anyone who is looking to get away from cigarettes. I often miss being able to partake in what I found to be a great hobby. Just because I can't do it anymore doesn't change the appreciation I have for it and what it has done for me.
