V2 Limited edition 10 can pack no longer for sale?

[WildBill44]

I just received the mega pack I ordered and checked the website to see if it's still available and it's not. Anyone aware of the reason? Hopefully there's nothing wrong with it lol. Maybe just done selling it? The websites say the product doesn't exist or no longer available on some.

That was my experience, too. Unless SC and BuySnus unloaded a huge amount over a week or so, that seems a bit too limited. My guess is that either there is another batch on the way, or a big retailer like Northerner got a large allotment that is coming next (like what happened with the Pasksnus).

In any case, I hope more people get to try the 2014 selection. Caramel Vanilla is the balls, and I really hope it makes its way into the regular Thunder lineup.

Sad to see this. Was going to put in an order for the mega pack here in a few days.

It looks like there should be a happy ending to this. Marc at V2 was nice enough to write to let me know that V2 intends to sell each of the 5 new flavors individually, to gauge whether to add any of them to the lineup. That is good news, even if it means that the cans I had set aside for the trading block have probably lost much of their appeal.

Thats incredible news. I'd like to get a big can for collections purchases then probably order mostly the caramel-vanilla. Unless someone has something incredible to say about any of the other flavors.....All apples I have tried have been pretty bland along with lab lemon.

I will re-visit the melon (nice honeydew scent, but bitter) and lemon (I really want to like this one, but the first try missed the mark) before making any sort of appraisal, but either would be a distant second based on my initial impressions. I don't really have any intentions of cracking open the eucalyptus or apple; if someone ends up liking it and unable to get their hands on it, there should be a couple of emergency tins stored for them in my freezer.

How is the caramel-vanilla? Is it more like a coffee?

[R.B. Kazenzakis]

I'll pop one in after work and see if I can give a coherent description.

[R.B. Kazenzakis]

I've got one working its magic now. The strongest note I get on this one is butterscotch. It doesn't scream sweet to me, just a very smooth and clean tasting butterscotch or toffee vibe (maybe mildly salty, but I am not sure yet). A really nice change of pace. As far as coffee goes, this one should pair really well with coffee.

Two big nicotine-stained thumbs up on this one.

Is it like those caramel/butterscotch hard candies old people always have handy?

[R.B. Kazenzakis]

Yes, it is more similar to those flavor-wise than to wrapped butterscotch; maybe ice cream topping would be closer still, but the flavor is very close to some soft toffe-like candy that I can't put my finger on (if you've tried the fleur de sel candies at Trader Joe's, it is similar, IIRC). Having it come in a snus portion removes any unpleasantness of dealing with hard or sticky candy, which is a bonus.

Of note for any folks like me that like to pass out with a dessert snus in: for me, it is a dangerous one for a nightcap snus, in that so far I have been well aware of the flavor and haven't drifted off to sleep while it is in. It is a pleasant way to end the day, nonetheless.
