    I'm not feeling worse. At least not yet. I am definitely feeling tired. I don't think I've had a good nights sleep in a week.
    Maybe take something tonight? 2 Benedryl is good for sleep.

    I was looking at my pre-steeped bases to try with grapefruit/strawberry. Came across my Tart Crust base and figured, let's go for it. :thumb: Dripped some of that along with the grapefruit/strawberry in an rda. It is a refreshingly flavorful combo that I've certainly never vaped before.

    Grapefruit/Strawberry is a pretty popular combination in real life. There are many recipes on the web.

    Can't remember if I ever posted my shortbread tart crust base recipe. Before I mixed it I looked up a bunch of tart crust recipes. Adding the mascarpone was my idea.

    Shortbread Tart Crust Base:

    SSA Shortbread Cookie 2%
    CAP Sugar Cookie 0.75%
    WF Mascarpone Cheese 0.75%
    INW Shisha Vanilla 0.5%
    VT Butter Base 0.25%

    Curious as to what would make that tart. Sugar Cookie is very sweet.

    While I can see that might be tasty, food recipes aren't always good vape wise.

    In real life a tart crust is not tart. In ways it is similar to a pie crust, but different.

    "What Is a Tart? A tart is a freestanding shallow open-faced pastry, often baked in a tart pan with a removable bottom, with fluted or straight sides."

    Yes sugar cookie is sweet. However using a higher percentage of shortbread cookie reduces its sweetness by a lot. Sugar originally came up with that idea for her lemon cookie mix.

    Vape wise I think of tart as being tart. Not as a pastry.

    Some food recipes are tricky to make into good vapes. And some just don't work. I think that's why we experiment and tinker with our flavors. :)

    I've gotten a few good ideas from food recipes.

    I mixed a Pina Colada, too harsh for my taste:
    Coconut rum wf-3%
    Fresh cream-jf-1%
    Sugarloaf pineapple-vt-3%
    Too much pineapple?
    I do like VT sugarloaf pineapple but have never used it over 1%.

    I did Nyquil a few nights last week but woke up feeling like I was a zombie so stopped taking it.
