OK, so I placed and received my order, and I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the tobacco flavor I got. I ordered "tobacco Blend (PG)," and the bottle I received says "DK tobacco" on it. I noticed these are two different options in the drop-down box because I was looking to place another order. So, maybe it's a silly question, but are they two different flavors or is it just the same flavor labeled two different ways in the menu? If it's the same flavor, obviously, I don't want to order more since I'm not a big fan. I just want to know before I click "Proceed to Payment" on this next order. Also, how does the "Tobacco Blend (Alcohol)" compare? Same base flavor, just cut with alcohol in lieu of PG?

In case you're curious, I didn't like the flavor because it really just tastes like some strange plastic, or rubber. It's reminiscent of drinking from a garden hose when I was younger. I'm letting the current batch steep longer, in a warmer location to see if it helps the flavor, but that just seemed really odd to me. Of course, it could just be me in this case because I've only been off analogs for almost two weeks now.

Hi Boris,

Have you contacted Kimmerpuff and RenaissancePuffer through their web site? I always thought those were different flavors and they will certainly take care of any mistakes. One Stop is the best at customer service!

The DK is supposed to be similar to the 555, but the Blend is the Tobacco Absolute in the diluted form using either alcohol or PG. Are you looking for a hint or a hit of tobacco? I've gotten hooked on the Flavour Art Dessert Ship as a favorite - it is a very strong flavor though. I've also been experimenting with the Tobacco Absolute - I'm on my 3rd vial and still haven't been able to dial in the 'just right' mix though. After smoking all those cigars, I may have burned out my tobacco receptors.

I did send an email and a message from my account on their page containing the same info. Not sure what is the best way to contact them, so I go for overkill.

That's what I was thinking as far as the flavors go. I'm not sure what I'm looking for in a tobacco flavor, to be honest. I want a kinda bitter, rich, full flavor that I can vape alone, or mix with other flavors for blends. Doesn't need to be very sweet, maybe a little bittersweet.

So far, my favorite flavor is the Double Chocolate. That's actually what led me to an idea of what I want in a tobacco flavor. I'm definitely going to be ordering more of that. If I can't find the right base tobacco flavor, I may end up using that as a base for everything else. It's just that good.

I'm sure they'll take care of any problems; everybody has something great to say about them.

Hey Boris :)

Sounds like I made a mistake with your order! My appologies! The Dk tastes nothing like Tobacco Blend PG or Alc. I will be sending you out the correct item first thing in the morning!

The Tobacco Blend Alc compared to PG is the same receipe with a different base giving it a slightly different flavor at least to me :)

For a deeper Tobacco taste you may want to try the Flavour Art Tobacco's.

No worries! I'm actually placing my next order now. I got the email response as well. I intend to try a handful of other tobacco flavors as well (I think I have a few F'Art samples coming from elsewhere too); I'm sure I'll find something I like.

Thank you for the quick responses, especially during off-hours! OSDIYS is already bookmarked in my DIY folder as my favorite vendor. And that double chocolate is just friggen awesome.

Just got my package. Of course, I was already running late to work so I couldn't start mixing. I did give everything a once-over and a quick sniff. The Tobacco (PG) is definitely promising, and the other flavors are looking (smelling) great too. So glad I ordered the bigger bottle of double chocolate this time. I'm burning (...steaming?) through the smaller bottle I got last time at a very rapid pace. I've let a batch of the DK tobacco steep for a little over a week now, and I'm starting to get more flavor out of it. I'm still not really liking it, but it doesn't have that "bad" taste to it anymore.

Thank you so much for the order correction and the little extra you tossed in with this new order! Your customer service really is as great as your product.
