Default White Puff On Cold Start

This is the first winter for me and my '01 and since it has gotten colder out i have noticed if I do not plug my truck in or after sitting outside at work when it is below 40* outside, i get a puff of white smoke on startup instead of the usual black. Is this a common thing or do i need to start saving for parts. A friend of mine has noticed the same thing. He has same mods as me +injectors, new IP, edge comp.

Nothing to worry about... when your oil pressure comes up you can slowly idle up to 1000 rpm's then easily let off and it should clear... mine pours grey smoke in the morning and lopes pretty hard because of the hrvp, plus I haven't been plugging it in and it's been getting around 30* at night here.

ok, just checking, i figured it was just fuel that didnt burn at shutdown and cooled enough to gel. Its just that quick puff when cold.
