I think some people who say "good morning" are optimists. Kind of like the saying, "If you smile, it will make you happier."
Then some people say it just because it's considered polite or the norm.

LOL- I would be wishing you a good morning!
Sux here with all the snow and cold- sick of winter!
True, I fall in the middle as a realist. But, never underestimate the power of positive thinking. You reap what you sow.
GOOD MORNING......

You got that right. The first day of spring is in a few weeks and it'll probably be single digits with snow still on the ground. wtf

Never thought about it until now, but how crazy would it be if the kids spring break turned into a second winter break? lolSame here- ugh!
Not that they'd care. They're gonna sit on their video games or phone no matter the weather. They're like vampires. What is that bright thing outside?

Looks like Easter break is late April this year- holding out hope for better weather by then. All the grands got new bikes for XMas and are wanting to ride outside. Yes they do love their I pads and video games, but I think they are even bored with being stuck inside all winter.

How far north are you going?
Just back to my native habitat in the midwest, Missouri. Can go either way mid March. But even normal will be cold to me and it's not normal right now...

Missouri, having mountains, sounds like it might be chilly in early morning and late evening, even when weather during the middle of the day is temperate. Bob, you're gonna freeze your spoiled Florida hiney right off! You'll be just walking along, minding your own bidness, and suddenly...bonk! No hiney!
G'morn!
Got more snow...yay...still in the 30s here. SSDD.
Did some computer stuffs, like get a new nVidia driver update for security issues. A good thing as I hadn't updated mine in some time.
Also, just made some proper breakfast: an open-faced Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Oatnut toast, with sauteed zucchini, hot chile, onion, garlic, and fennel. Put a bit of spicy brown mustard on the sausage for fun and a flavor contrast.
Off to watch Golf, vape, and drink coffee...

Yummy! Looks delicious!

Thx! Not super-fancy food, but it's a fave. Simple and easy with a lot of variations possible.

That's how I cook too-Thx! Not super-fancy food, but it's a fave. Simple and easy with a lot of variations possible.
Tonight it is meatloaf with mashed potatoes green beans and brown gravy.
I cook meals every day here- rarely eat out or have take out food.
YUM...now I wanna make some of that.
I got the potatoes, hamburger, green beans and a "new" convection toaster oven...
Same..I live near a zillion restaurants, never go there. I like not getting food poisoning or other illness.
I've worked fast-food and a few sit-down restaurants...if people only knew what went on behind those counters...

Yes a nice simple meal- sometimes I make scalloped potatoes instead , then I put ketchup on the meat loaf when I bake it. Mushrooms are good on top of Meat Loaf too.
Garlic powder and butter on the green beans.
Just so expensive to eat out and not too many restaurants close by.

My son gave me his pressure cooker so I have been playing with that too- makes great beef stew, chicken and rice, chicken or beef soup, also makes great Corned Beef and Cabbage- yum!
I was shocked how quickly and delicious the food is cooked in a pressure cooker!
Nice that you have a convection toaster oven- my oven is convection and bakes really nice!

Sounds like good home cookin' to me.
Never had a pressure cooker, but my old Rival slow-cooker gets a lot of use for stews, roasts, etc.
Yeah, I got it at a Discount store that sells returned Costco merch for cheap, for $20. Love it.
Everyone is going to have a different view. Personally, I love the ARES MTL. The perfect draw.
I'm just looking for a good mtl draw, but has to have a good flavor too. This will be my first mtl rta.

Still morning here. Enjoying some coffee before heading out. I need to buy some protein. I'm going on a kick off diet to compliment my atkins/keto diet. It will involve eating only meat for 3-5 days. I have done this before. Just a temp fix to get into fat burning mode again. I rarely eat out. My idea of eating out is meeting up with my old friend at Wendy's and having a salad. I think most take out food sucks. I love to cook and create my own recipes. I have developed a low carb garlic Alfredo sauce that I use with spaghetti squash. High in fat/lower carbs.
I have family in SW MO. I lived there as well. It's nothing compared to WI.
(WI is a frozen tundra)

I have had a Berserker for about six months. It's a nice RTA, but it is REALLY MTL. You have to be sure you really want MTL if you go there.
Ammit RDA is the same way. It's so MTL I can't stand it. Have one sitting here, been used once, probably never again. It would have been too tight for me even when I was vaping Kabukis all the time.
A good mtl is hard to find. The Berzerker rda looks good, but I'm expecting it to be right. I have that original smm tank you sent me. I have it setup pretty good as mtl actually. Mom is using it right now and whenthese concentrates get here I'm hoping it will help her get off the smokes. Now I'm on the search for an mtl for myself. Hoping this will be a good start.

Yuppers, you're right about the Berserker MTL RDA, even using the largest AF insert it's TIGHT.
I have a Gasmods v1 RDTA too that is somewhat more open, but still to tight for my tastes. They do have great flavor though.
My old H-atty Genisis RTA is about the tightest I can enjoy and I think it's got 3x0.8" holes IIRC.
It's pretty nice out today - about 22F and mostly sunny.
It's super-slippery out with hard crusty compact snow and ice, but may have to do some walking errands before it gets ice-slushy, which is worse.
The 10-day forecast can't make up it's mind:
You're spot on. Everybody has their take and most reviewers seem to have their own agenda or angle now too. I watch a few but less and less....
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, no hiney....brrrrrrrrrrrr
I have sucked in the past on building mtl coils. Gave away mtl tanks I had. Someone here on the forum got me interested in the old kanger sub tank. I bought the version 1. I'm still using the original coil that came with the tank. Soon I will try my skills and build a coil. I bought one of the coilmasters coil making kit. I haven't even looked at it yet. I have some stray coil leftovers. I gave away all the full packages. After I make a few I will buy some coil/cotton bacon and such. I have been vaping since 2010 I should know how to build coils.

I managed to screw up the RBA that came with my Subtank. Then I screwed up the RBA that came with my funky Kayfun clone (RBA looked just like the one that came with the Subtank). Then I screwed up the brand new Kayfun clone that I'd just received.
Was on a roll there for a few days, screwed up everything I touched. Still don't know what I did. Good luck with it.
I had the kayfun clones 3.1 and the 5s. I hated them. No matter what I did-it leaked. The subtank rba looks like it was built cheaply. I'm sure it won't last a long time around me.

The V4 clone that I had (briefly), I think I messed with the juice control too much, to the point that it wouldn't open far enough. Dry hit city. I messed with it until I was ready to chuck it through a window, then I did chuck it somewhere, and have no idea where it is now. Was just looking for it. The masochist in me was gonna take another crack at it, but I guess not! I've protected myself from it, apparently!
I just buy some 28/36 SS from lightning vapes and wrap around 2.5 mm screwdriver..never even tried to spin claptons...that roll will last a very, very long time.I have sucked in the past on building mtl coils.

That MTL Clapton wire is nice. Makes good coils, vapes and lasts well. Yes.
I'm thinking that I might spin up some mtl claptons soon myself. Probably when I know that the Berzerker rda is on its way to me. I've never made regular claptons only fused LOL. This should be fun.

Chances are it will either be fun, or you'll have a rat's nest. If it were me, well...
Totally agree. That stuff is like magick. I have the SS and Ni80, both are awesome.
Having a beer or three of one of his favorites in honor of our thread host....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 
In my new-to-me Sam Adams Octoberfest 'pineapple' stein I picked up at thrift for $1
(I scored bigtime at the thrift store today, 50% off everything, so much fun.)
Cheers man, u rock!!

Still have some 3.1s, some ended up mashed-up with Orchid v4s too..but I kept one Ehpro KF intact.
My trick was doing a chimney build with a small vertical contact coil. If ya can nail the wicking, it works great.
