Does anyone else not really enjoy V2 products?

I've found that in general, I prefer Swedish Match over V2. I can't put my finger on it..I think it's the aftertaste of V2 that gets me.

I've had a long hatred of V2 portions. I haven't had any in the last 3 years, so they may be better now. I can't be bothered to try. OTOH their lös products I like a good bit, with the lakrits being a favorite of mine. It's Danish snus, not Swedish snus. It may seem pedantic distinguishing between the 2, but they really are different products, and should be treated differently. It's like comparing American dip to Swedish snus. They have a common heritage, but are different products. The difference between Danish snus and Swedish snus isn't as big, but they're still different. Anyway, it's better to appreciate it for it's differences, rather than compare it with Swedish snus. It's like veggie burgers. I love veggie burgers, but they aren't hamburgers. They're delicious when taken on their own terms, but anyone expecting them to taste like their bovine counterparts will be sorely disappointed.

Not me. I LOVE V2! Offroad Frosted is a mainstay. They have the best licorice flavor. The new Coola rocks my socks! The los is my favorite as well, stays together so well. If they made a snus that was in line with LD/Camel/Retro, I would pretty much only use V2.

You should have had 2009 V2.

They've come a long way!

[jdman321]

Don't get me wrong V2 isn't ... bad...but I doubt I'll ever buy from them again on a regular basis anyway. They seem stale, the horrid aftertaste is the real killer though.

Have you had the lös? The difference between their lös and portions is the most dramatic I've seen from any manufacturer.

[jdman321]

The only los I've had are General and Ettan...Ettan being the clear winner thus far.

Damn Veganpunk if You don't have anything good to say about a company You should remain quite.

But I do agree with You.!!!

Get a couple tins of V2 lös, it's certainly cheap enough to try. I'd recommend a tin each of Phantom Blue, and Brown. If you like licorice, you'd be doing yourself a severe disservice by not trying Offroad lakrits lös.

[jdman321]

No licorice for me...but I'll try the brown and blue. I could handle the brown portions but def. not a daily snus.

quality control on their portions are a bit weak. V2 portions always seem to be busted open in the tin. At least that's my experience with them.

I've had the frosted and the wintergreen. The WG isn't too bad and the frosted is okay for a short time, but v2 isn't my fav.

they have a new portion maker machine now. It appears to be calibrated and the product seems to be more consistant. I've used OR products almost exclusively for about 4 years. I don't think I ever ran into a busted portion. OTOH General wintergreen is famous for busted portions.

+1 - the flavor only seems to last 15-20 minutes, then aftertaste hell

I take a lot of different snus with me every day and the only constant is a can with Frosted Long+, Mini and ES mixed together. I have had Thunder Original Mini with the portions broken open but the Berry, Wintergreen and Frosted are always fine the Coola is perfect and there is usually 27 portions in a can with all of them. Thunder portions are thinner to so they are usually pretty comfortable.
As far as Off Road the Long Cut is consitent and I like it plus the Loose is very easy to use and stays together forever. The portions leave something to be desired but come on you get 2 cans for the price of 1. I don't have enough experience with Phantom to comment.
At the end of the day V2 makes a good product at a great price and they are far more innovative than anyone else with new flavors. Would I buy as much if a can of Thunder or Off Road cost what General does no. But it is almost half the price.

Yea, I've noticed the 27 portions as well. Really cool!
