    Another V2 Convert

    I took to the Cranberry Strong right off the bat but was on the fence with the Blue and Classic. I did start getting a Blue craving after a while and now do one or two Los a week but the Classic still doesn't do it for me.

    Just having recently tried the Cranberry Los though, I found another to add to my rotation for sure. This stuff's fantastic (albeit a little reminiscent of Kool-Aid). I'm enjoying a couple of these a day. I also recently tried the Wintergreen Los and am enjoying that one as well.

    If you don't like the V2 portions, I would still highly recommend trying the Los', totally different snus than the portions (again, the Cran portions are great imo). I was hesitant after the Classic but am now looking forward to trying more of their flavors, maybe even the odder ones.

    Is there anyone on here who has tried both the los and portions of the Phantom Blue? I am hooked on the los, but I only use it in the evening, and if the portions are also just as good, I will want to get some for school and work.

      I use both. Primarily the los, but the portions are pretty good as well.

        The V2 Los's have realy grown on me. I am very exited to see them release the new Los flavors they were testing.

          I tried some of the V2 portions about a year ago and was completely turned off to them. Well after reading the reviews on some of the los (prefered type) I got a tin of the Phantom classic los. Not bad. Sticks together well and has a smooth mild taste with a slight citrus hint.

            After a few cans of the Blue loose I ordered a couple cans of it in portions. I may have had a funny batch, but to me the portions were extremely salty. I got the same smell and yeah the portion bag material is rough, but I was so surprised by the salt. Was a weird experience, I may give them another shot someday.

              Nah, you got a normal batch of V2 goodness :^P

              Their portions suck, but the lös ranges from decent to great. I won't buy any more of the portions, but I'll cautiously try their lös snus.

                To be fair, every portion is going to taste saltier than it's los counterpart. It is just the nature of the beast.

                  The los is worlds better than the portions, IMHO. V2's Limited selection was a nice change of pace, but after going through the whole roll, I don't think I'll be buying any Offroad portions for a while. :wink:

                  I would be all over the Orange and Strawberry los.....

                    I love the orange. Still have just shy of 1/2 can left. I have been using all the special edition flavors sparingly. Nice treat now and again. Stretching them out until I can buy more and know that I won't be out indefinitely.

                      I like the cran los as well. I have been using it since my first order about 2 years ago. I don't use it every day, or even once a week, but I get a strong yearning for it every once in a while. I will always have a can in my fridge/freezer at the ready for those times that I am yearning for a chocolate, cranberry delight. I still have not got the blue los, but will be trying some with my next order. Phantom blue portions have their place, but they are not used very often by me. I am really looking forward to trying V2s new flavors!!!!

                      Cheers

                          Blue Los is a citrusy, herbal/juniper taste in the forefront with a peppery dark tobacco background. It isn't overly sweet, but it has bursts of sweetness (if that makes sense).

                          The portions are good, but do not translate as much of the tobacco flavor as the los does.

                          Well worth the sub-$2 investment to taste. If you like it, you've just saved yourself about 50% per rool compared to GR.

                          I order a new roll of blue every time I get down to about 5 cans remaining to make sure I NEVER run out.

                          If V2 ever decides to discontinue it, I would buy a HUGE freezer, tons of vaccu-seal bags and store up a lifetime worth of the stuff.

                              couldnt really compare it to anything. It is it's own unique greatness.
