There's some old guys already there
We're not so sure about one of them. If you see him back there, hold a mirror under his nose.

Oh I don't even own a couch. Couches are dangerous objects.
My happy topic is that my MBV order is now sitting in Orlando .... I will be getting vape mail Tuesday MMMmmmmmmm
I have decided that I like Faux Hawk better than Hawk Sauce
You are not alone, I also prefer the Faux Hawk Sauce!
I think he is gone on something called a "vacation", whatever that is. Something about a boat.

I'm self-employed. What is this va.. ca... shun... thing you speak of? I know what a boat is. That's the half completed thing on the sawhorses that sucks up a huge amount of shop space for dozens of months on end.
And he didn't even say goodbye 
A boat, that was the void from which no money that returned. That void sat on a trailer in my driveway for years. Twice a year I put an obscene amount of fuel in it and had fun for 4 hours. One day I did the math and figured out that I could rent someone else's void when I had the urge and save money. I finally found a sucker to pawn it off on.
A boat's just a hole in the water you throw money into.
Or the thing sitting on saw horses, sucking up a huge amount of shop space, that you never have time to work on that turns from a several month long project into a several year long project.
Either way, they're rather magical, wouldn't you say?
Actually I think Uncle Ralphie booked economy class ... here's a pic of him
They claim that the two happiest days in a boat owners life are the day he buys his boat ............. and the day he sells it
When Ralphie comes back someone needs to get his contact info so we can bug the hell out of him when he's not around here.

I think it's called compulsive vaporosity oblivionitis. Don't worry though, it's a fairly common affliction that can result in a mild euphoria but is easily treatable; however, the therapy can be fairly expensive
I was browsing Kanthal on an industrial supply webpage and had to do a double take when I browsed their product guides. They have some information on building heating elements of various kinds with their Kanthal. Kilns, appliances etc.
They also had the following to say about ribbon kanthal:
Advantages of Ribbon Wire
How does having more wire surface area affect vaping?
Produces More Vapor
Using flat ribbon Kanthal in your PVs means you will get more vapor from each draw. This is similar to why cooking stoves have flat tops: there is more contact area between the heat source and whatever is being heated.
Easier to Wind
The flat shape of the wire makes it much easier to wrap around and cover the wick.
NOTE: Because of its flat shape, sharp twists in ribbon Kanthal will cause tears, rips, warping, and other kinds of mechanical damage. Thus, if you have a rebuildable atomizer (RBA), avoid twisting your ribbon Kanthal wherever possible as you are winding your coils.
The only areas where twists are unavoidable are at positive and negative screw terminals. This is because you should have your ribbon wire flat (horizontal) against the screw head, as good electrical connections require good mechanical connections. However, this means you may have to twist the wire in order to wrap it around the wick.
Eliminates Hot Spots
The most common issue people have when winding coils on their atomizers is getting areas of uneven heating called "hot spots." Hot spots will drastically shorten the life of your coil. Uneven heating causes parts of the coil to expand and contract at different rates, which wears out the coil much more quickly compared to a coil without hot spots.
Finding hot spots after taking the time to carefully wind a coil for your atomizer can also be very frustrating, especially if you keep seeing hot spots after repeated adjustments. However, hot spots are less likely to occur with flat ribbon Kanthal.
