All over the place
Have you ever tried any of their tobacco flavors Mr.Mann? i am interested in all their 6 ones, specially "Tobakum".

I have Yuco (Flavoring "YUCO," Deep tobacco flavor with shades of cocoa.), but that's the only one. I have not mixed with it, but I will tonight to report back my thoughts.

Note: I didn't actually order from Russia yet, I got a sample pack from a forum-friend.

Oh!! sorry nope. I ordered them from vaping Zone at $7.99 each plus $4.99 S/H.
Whereas Items from my home in Spain take at most 10 days to arrive here in the US, mail from Russia is really, really, really slow, and if you add S/H might as well buy from VZ and get your items in less than a week.
Excellent! Can you tell me more about your order, 1vape. For instance, did you email them the list of flavors you wanted and they responded with a quote? Can you share how much they charged for shipping and what is payment method they accept?

It's ok, i emailed them, hope they will reply soon.

Kinda same situation with Inawera here, cheaper to buy from Bull City vapor (and they are NOT rebottled) than purchasing them from Poland.

can't wait to read your report on Tobakum! (have read it is really good)...

VZ doesn't tell us who they buy the SC flavors from. I have had many SC's from both companies and the flavors are similar. Neither requires any additional sweetener. Once I moved onto the Gourmet or Russian Baker's Flavors I kept mostly to those. I only vape a small handful of favorite super concentrated now.

A local mixer told me that these are one and the same and that even though FE states PG it is actually alcohol based. Of course I can't substantiate this but I've always wondered too. PG makes me break out in hives. Darn, I just ordered from ECX or I'd volunteer to be a guinea pig.

My take is that if you google PG it is considered an alcohol. Maybe that's why one says PG and one says alcohol. Who knows?

Local Mixers could be just as misinformed, or as knowledgeable as anyone else.

Got my order in today.
Made a 5ml sample of Tabakum, Tobacco, and Klondike. I had a few drips before putting them aside for a wee steep.
50/50 2.0%nic, on an LR atty, using a GLV mini
All three are indeed SUPER concentrated, 02dr/05ml was maybe a tad strong...will do 03dr/10ml next time.
Tobacco and Tabacum are similar with Tobacco being a bit lighter.
Both are bold cigarette types, but with Tabacum being the closer, due to its ashiness, and hay-like sensation.
Klondike, on the other hand has more of the cigar/pipe hybrid characteristics, not sure which one dominates here. That will probably come out after steeping, but I get a little Dunhill 965 blend flavor mixed with some Navy Flake, which are both pipe blends, but the exhale and vapor smell more like a cigar, who knows? We'll see after a few days.
What I can tell you for sure is that these three flavors are worth every penny, and will shine when I start playing around with them.
Can't wait to put a coupla drops of Rum and Molasses to Klondike.
Tabacum, and Tobacco, while not spectacular are both very good, and the low concentrations needed make them a must have for any hobbyist.

You are very welcome. Hope you try these they are worth it!!!!
Just the fact that all you need is 1 or 2 drops to completely transform a mixture.....think of the possibilities.

Russia website is out of Tobakum...weird.

I made a list of 10 flavors and submitted it to them, lets see if they will consider such an small order.

Very true. I highly doubt she has inside information but it peaked my interest to see others also question if they are the same. It's so difficult to find PG free flavors that it may be worth a little further investigation or experimentation. I'll add one to my next order to try out. If there is PG in them I would be able to tell within minutes.
