    I did the same thing with AT&T Uverse last year. Kept their fiber internet and said heck with Uverse. Went to streaming and seriously wondered why I hadn't gone that route a long time ago. Your daughter sounds like a hoot!

    We signed up for YouTube tv and already had a few streaming services. Since we dropped Google tv service we’re saving about $55 a month.

    I've been saying it for quite a while too. I mainly kept it to watch the Red Wings games. It went from $159 to $179 to $194 in a matter of 4 months. At that point I said ok, now you're just taking advantage of a loyal customer (20 years). Enough is enough. Ironically, there was an ad mailer in the same pile of mail. Internet & cable for $49 mo for new customers from the same cable company..lol

    @FranC she's 33.

    I went through a similar situation a few years ago after Spectrum bought Time Warner cable. They kept raising the price and the service got worse. That’s when I switched to Google fiber. I liked their service but they discontinued the tv service here in our city.

    I looked at the Helheim S RDTA. It kind of looks like a Brunhilde.

    I did see there were other Helheim's though. Guess I picked the wrong one to look at. :D

    That’s not the one we have. We have the Helheim without cables. The S version has the cables

    Just for giggles. What’s everyone’s favorite RDA and RTA.??

    My favorite current rda is either the recurve 2 or the dead rabbit 3. Favorite rta has been the original Zeus single coil for a long time but more recently the fat rabbit solo. The solo has really good flavor.

    I had zero luck with the Recurve. I’ll give it another shot.

    I've read that older mix formulas need adjustment for modern devices and figure that it can't be as simple as cutting the percentages by half across the board or such.

    Learning how my flavors taste and interact would be the key, I guess, but I was wondering if there might be some tips you folks could give me for whipping up a few quick test batches to get my feet wet.

    Here for example,
    TPA Bavarian Cream @ 2.00%
    TPA Dragonfruit @ 14.00%
    TPA Vanilla Swirl @ 4.00%

    Thank you for any advice or tips you can give me!

    The cream is ok. The dragonfruit should be 6-8 in a mix. The Vanilla 2%-2 1/2.

    It's an all around perfect day here. 63° and partly Sunny.

    Midday chores, dun. Nice long walk with the Dogs, dun.

    Earlier I was testing some mixes that are in various stages. 2 or 3 probably will not make the grade even with my attempts to 'help' them. That's ok, I learn things with each mix (good, bad or meh).

    Time to chill... relax... enjoying some flavored water (a couple drops of MF Guava). And ummm, vape! ;)

    After yesterdays good rain all the smells of Spring in the woods are very prominent. All the different birds are chirping away. Awesome!
    May I ask, how many drops of flavor per 8oz of water.

    I also think I know why my rabbit, Cloudy, is so fat.
    He drinks.

    A lot.

    And that isn't all, he always has this large... expulsion... when he is drinking.
    And I always get it right away.
    I mean, I can taste it!

    Not just a mouthful, mind you, it positively fills my lungs!!


    And let me tell you... it is not at all like roses!!
    Not at all.

    It sort of tastes like... cinnamon milk...

    But I still love him.:wub:

    That's always a tough one for me to answer.

    But for giggle science... today it's the Haku Venna RDA and the Squape Arise RTA. Tomorrow it'll be something else.

    I'm saving pretty much the same as you, $57 a month. I already had the HBO Max streaming svc. We went with the Hulu +live TV / Disney+ / ESPN bundle. We were talking about adding Prime but I'm not so convinced we need it. I like being able to put that $57 into savings every month.
