"The Collective"
Based on the sexiest Borg in the Delta Quadrant, I introduce a dark and addictive eliquid that brings order to chaos---"The Collective". Part 3 in my Seven Of Nine/Borg Trilogy.
Description:
This recipe is an assimilation of really oddball & unique flavors. I mean, who the hell would make a Maryjane-Pistachio Custard? Good fresh out of the gate, but of course it begins to shine after a week or more. Personally, I prefer it fresh(weird, I know!)!
Recipe(13% flavoring/75%VG):
•TFA Mary Jane 2%
•TFA RY4 Double 2.5%
•TFA Pistachio 2%
•CAP Vanilla Custard 5%
•JF Dulce De Leche 1%
•CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl 0.5%
Data:
My choice of TFA Mary Jane is obvious, and 2% plays very well with the other ingredients. Any more than 2% and I'm feeling like I'm vaping Scotch Tape® flavored eliquid.
I still felt as though the Mary Jane needed a counter-balance in order to become 'fuller'/more authentic tasting. And TFA RY4 Double performed the task perfectly. This is not an RY4 mix by any means, so I kept the percentage at 2.5%.
Again, another obvious player here is TFA Pistachio. In combination with the RY4 & DDL, it brings out an almost "ashy" though nutty flavor. And I just love TFAs version of pistachio above all others.
JF Dulce De Leche & CAP Vanilla Custard v1 obviously provide a nice thick custard base. At 5%, the custard's egginess is restrained somewhat and doesn't "bogart" the entire mix!
CAP Cinnamon Danish Swirl at 0.5% adds a bit of depth to TFA's Mary Jane. It's a clever magician that can perform a pretty cool disappearing act at wattages around 45-55. Increase wattage to 63 or higher and the cinnamon comes out more, but only as a supporting flavoring.
I do NOT recommend any substitutions, sweeteners nor changes in percentages.

What an interesting looking mix. I'm missing the last two ingredients though. I think I might whip something along these lines up.
And Mary Jane is an odd as hell flavor that makes its way into quite a few of my mixes. Plays well with FA Zen Garden, another odd duck.
Edit: against OP's express advice forbidding substitutions I subbed in .5% TFA Brown Sugar Extra and .5% FA Caramel for the DDL and .5% FLV Cinnamon Crunch for the CDS. Vaping it right now. Digging the MJ influx. The Borg did well.
Is it difficult to describe Zen Garden? I know some flavors are hard to articulate in words which is why I asked. I've never bought it so I have no idea what it tastes like...
Herby. A light herby basilish number. I've never needed to use it above 1%. Plays well with LIGHT mints and dark berries. And TFA MJ.
You like TFA Mary Jane? I find it tastes just like chewing on stems
Very interesting! Missing the JF Dulce de Leche for a 1:1. Have you tried FLV Yakima Hops? I feel if you like TFA MaryJane you will probably like that one.
If you're able to provide a comparison, what is the JF Dulce de Leche like in comparison to say TFA DDL or FLV Milk & Honey?
I found that JF DDL was more dairy"ish" than TFAs. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE TFA DDL...But for this mix it added a little too much caramel flavor, which I wasn't looking for. As far as the FLV Milk & Honey...this is another concentrate I love. I just didn't like the sweetness it added in this recipe.
