    V2 tobacco will no longer be getting my money

    Seriously... Every single portion of my can of Thunder Frosted is as thin as paper! There is no way in hell there is a gram of tobacco in their portions. I'm just about through my last roll of Thunder Frosted and will not be getting anymore, which is a shame because I love the nicotine and flavor.

    I found myself folding the portions over longways just to have the snus 'feel' in my lip. Pretty lame on V2's part...

    V2's quality has always been up and down for some reason.

    My last order of a roll of Frosted long+ is a good example. About 1/3 of every can in the roll were half-size portions for some reason. Any fluffing of the pouch immediately opened one end of it. So i paid for a roll, but only got about 7-8 cans of usable portions.

      Sad to hear. I remember hearing their quality control issues were resolved. Perhaps they will send you a replacement roll for your inconvenience?

        I layed a Thunder portion right next to a General portion and the Thunder looks like a pathetic, squashed piece of empty teabag..its pathetic..

          And this isn't anything new to me.. This has been every Thunder can I've ever had, I've just never been pissed off about it until now.

            Im not much into portions but I am working on a can of Thunder Berry. The portions are as you describe. I just got a can of Gotlands Green & those things are like an airbag! I wish thunder portions were like that!

              I also got my hands of a can of Thunder Cola from the exchange im working through...and of course..they are the same paper-thin POS's as the rest of their portions.

                Bro shoot Patrick a pm and explain what has happened. I know it is frustrating but I would give them a chance to make it right.

                If my memory serves me correctly this has been a problem with the Thunder line in the past. I think the cause is that V2 moved into a new facility with some new portion filling machinery and they are still trying to work out some of the bugs (in fact, I thought they had already fixed it--- which makes me wonder.... is the roll brand new or one that has been in your stash for a while)....Regardless, I know V2 is aware that this has been happening and I feel sure they will make it right.

                I also feel sure they will want to know that the problem is still occurring, especially if this is a newer roll....if it is I would let them know that you purchased it just last week/month/etc..

                Keep us posted.............and hopefully you will get a roll you can enjoy

                  The roll was new. A couple of loose cans I had were a few months old, and the Cola is Brand new..and all the portions are flat and unfilled.

                    I have a feeling that even if I complain and ask for a replacement roll or whatever, I'll just get the same unfilled crappy portions( Since Cola is BRAND NEW and is the same unfilled portion as their Frosted).. I doubt they adjust the portion filling machinery just because of me, so it's not even worth my time to type out a PM for them.

                      You might be right

                      I hope V2 can get this problem solved once and for all.................you know it's got to be affecting their sales

                      It seems that portions have been their nimasis........................first with the complaints over the material they were initially using with the Phantom series ................and now this

                      but on a positive note.............out of sympathy and respect.................I'll just keep all my los comments to my self


                      at least for now

                        I've not had much luck with regular sized thunder portions. Their sterk mini's seem to be pretty good... but all the regular size portions have been thin, inconsistent, and busted open.

                        Offroad brand seems fine, and thunder mini seems just fine as well...

                        Just the Thunder regular size ones...

                        I've never gotten a tin of those that wasn't full of busted, thin, and inconsistent portions.

                        I don't order thunder regular portions anymore because of it. One time shame on you, two times shame on me.

                        Stay away from thunder regular portions, they're not worth your $$

                          Thunder Frosted is the best snus on planet earth, but I must agree that their manufacturing is the lowest quality i've ever seen from a tobacco product. The portions always came broken, flattened, dripping wet or dry as the sand in laz3rs vagina. Every now and again, like seeing a blue moon or finding a four leaf clover, I get a roll of portions that is just PERFECT, like just a regular can of snus, and it's the greatest experience on earth. But it's like playing the lotto, the odds are against me because I only get a "good" roll maybe once every 10 rolls i'd say. In my whole snusing career i've probably only had 5-6 rolls of decently manufactured thunder frosted.


                          V2: If I ever have a pyramid built to entomb my mummified body in, I would fill my sarcophagus with thunder frosted just so I could have some in the afterlife, but please fix whatever it is that causes this ridiculous inconsistency in your manufacturing/storing/whatever the problem is that causes this flattened portions crap. It's happening too often.

                            Exactly.. When I first fell in love with it..it had to be for a reason.. But in the past year, I find myself struggling and sighing everytime I open a new can. It's absurd that this has gone on this far.
