For all those who vape like crazy in their car all summer then once it gets cold outside and the windows don't defog. No need to race to the dealer to replace the heater core cause its the vape film on the inside of your windshield. Just a quick heads up to clean the inside of the windshield and side windows now before it gets too cold and cleaning them becomes a hassle.

Snow! Coffee! vaping by the fireplace! (Which admittedly isn't the same as smoking a pipe near the fireplace.) Watching the beast in my avatar run around like a joyful maniac in the snow and stopping with his face jammed in the snow thinking he's camouflaged. I still use stainless steel drip tips, I just don't store them out in the snow.
Bring it! I just got a new pair of LL Bean boots. Love the stuff.
I wear flip flops all winter, not too worried my drip tips will get cold.
Yeah but you still have to worry about the scorpions and rattlesnakes stinging and biting you. A rattlesnake bite will ruin an otherwise perfectly good vape.
Gosh, even in Tucson, a lot of those critters take a Leave of Absence, LOL. I'm not sure where they migrate to, the surface of the sun???
Kidding, but the scariest time of year is fall/spring because they're looking for some place to hibernate and have this thing about "I get to go indoors." These critters (rightfully) tend to think they are higher on the food chain than me. Maybe not some other people, but if I were alone in a house with a rattlesnake, it would win. Heck, in college I accidentally trapped a squirrel in my dorm room (I used to open the window and leave the screen askew, so I could smoke cigarettes, which was strictly prohibited but many normal folk were terrified of me in college, so no one bugged me about it.)
The point is, the squirrel knocked the screen down behind it, and a pair of terrified, helpless creatures had to Confront Each Other, and the Squirrel almost won. Luckily, I had a broom handy-- to knock the screen away so Squirrel could flee, but it was a very close call, either one of us could have died of terror.....
Our STUPID PACKRAT is still alive, too, he's now underneath the living room, gnawing on some piece of the house. The husband has killed 3 of them with traps, but not my Special Packrat (LOL, maybe I should have the husband put a Jolly rancher or two on the traps) but I can't in good conscience suggest it, given that I actually (secretly) Love the Packrat now, but I also understand that I can't realistically demand the husband stop trying to kill it, so I'll just see how things go.
I wonder if they're trainable? Would a packrat be like a ferret, and if so, do I really want to give that another go round?
So many questions, and so few answers. But yeah, wintertime you're usually safe around here provided you make it through, you know, fall....

No, I don't make any adjustments. I'm in Michigan, so I know cold. The one thing I notice is that my windows get coated quicker when it's cold.
That Packrat won't be so special when it chews through an important wire in your house or car (most wires are important).
Agreed. It already chewed through our cable wire once. It also stole a LOT of jolly ranchers, and I had to throw the rest of my stash away. Also, I ONLY discovered the jolly rancher situation once it had already been happening, which means for a time, the packrat and I were SHARING!!!!! 
This is why I do not actively HALT the husband from trying to kill it, but it's pretty crafty by now and I can't help admire the little sucker, too. I mean, it's got a Lot of Win, it's been Beating Us for a Long Time now, and we're a Supposedly Dangerous Couple LOL.
I guess the final step would be poison under the house, but that's not happening until the husband's done and I can think of a lot of very good reasons NOT to poison the underside of the house. I did mention baiting the trap with jolly ranchers just now but the husband turned up his nose at me. He doesn't understand me OR the packrat I guess, but I could probably bait the traps by adding some JR crumbs to the peanut butter at my leisure......

Come ride on I94 or Lake Shore Drive on a snow day! Seriously, the freezing cold combined with the lake effect and it's like watching every crash scene in every move every made all at once. Hollywood could save a lot of money just by setting up cameras and letting them roll on snow day.
I slid off an icy road* and I'm here to tell the tale.
I pet snakes.**
I ignore scorpions.***
I punch wasps.****
I'll vape under any circumstance.
*Slid off an empty road into an empty parking lot.
** Pet snakes.
***Have never seen a scorpion up close.
**** I actually punch wasps. They leave me alone now.
Yep. I agree. Cold weather makes almost as much for fraternizing as a warm weather for girls chasing. I prefer warm weather (please, do not call my wife).I find it a lot of fun when I manage to catch that city bus with chains on it's tires to go meet up with my buddy a couple miles away from me. There are mountains on snow that had just come from a large blizzard and I finally have a nice warm bus ride, a bus that is actually almost empty because the city is dead. I get off the bus and my sneakers sink into a pile of snow but now I have to do acrobatics to jump over piles of snow to get to the side walkout and manage to not slip on the ice I just landed. So me and my buddy manage to walk 5 blocks and the Starbucks is actually open. Winter time is when I can actually appreciate some dark roast black coffee especially a Starbucks. So me and my buddy get that delicious coffee and go around the corner. It's still about 8 in the morning. We each pull out our vapes consecutively. My buddy with the goon and alien and me the revenger with the velocity v2. We take out our juice and juice up that cotton. Now goes the moment I cherish, inhaling those sweet flavors, blowing huge clouds while not bothering anybody on the street except myself because my hands are starting to freeze off. But we get a great vaping session in the early morning, drinking our coffees all while the city is dead like there's a zombie apocalypse. A perfect way to start a snowy day. Done it before and will do it again
Heater Core Build to heat up the atty/510.. Last year I did 24g twisted.. This year I'm going to be trying inception...
Yep, shorts and flipflops and sometimes I crank the AC to 60 degrees and put on my sweatpants so I can pretend its cold outside. I look kind of funny running to the mailbox though
Colorado here first winter where I vape can't wait for the clouds to be all around me
Funny story. James Drury "The Virginian" used to be my neighbor, and he and his wife would have a fire in their fireplace all year round. Hello, we are in Texas, where it is barely even cold in winter and the summer heat is brutal. But hottest days in summer and there was smoke coming out of the chimney and always a stack of firewood on his porch. I would of melted

If that's your plan for heating the bedroom, you're gonna need a bigger coil.
