I have been one of the vocal V2 detractors for many a month, actually since I landed on this site. I never liked anything Offroad and had tried Phantom Classic early on and was not impressed. For some reason or another a few months back I got a can of Phantom Blue Los as it was cheap and I figured I wouldn't feel too bad throwing it out if it was disagreeable. First pris was slightly medicinal and strange but reminded me of a nice gin, left it in the fridge and forgot about it for a while. Second time it wasn't too bad but loved how it stayed in place like no other snus I've had. I could actually drop it out of my lip, flip it around and switch sides. Also no tobacco flakes ever got on my teeth. Soon I began taking it to work which I usually don't do with los. Today I got home from work, took out my can of beloved Gotlandssnus Gul, hesitated and put it back and popped a pris of Phantom Blue. I hate eating my words like this but I think it has become my all-time favorite snus.

I am also a V2 detractor but I think I'll get a can of Offroad cran los on my next order since it's been about 4-5 months since I tried it. I'm fairly sure Phantom (or Rothbrix) isn't my thing, but I always loved the flavor of offroad.
I'll probably get my order next week, so I'll post and let you guys know if it still upsets my stomach. -
I won't tell Jimmy if you don't :wink:Comment

Odd how that works. If I use any Swedish match variety for more than a few hours at a time, I get this awful slime in my throat and my gut wrenches.Originally posted by cocsp2002Comment

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Love some of the SM varieties but sometimes I feel I've been smoking all day afterward. I also get the same feeling from Lucky Strike snus, liquid smoke doesn't agree with me.Originally posted by XobelootComment

Funny how that works, huh? I've always wanted to like V2 since it's inexpensive, and the loose flavors are so delicious. They're honestly the only "flavored" snus I can stand. But if I use it exclusively for a day, my stomach is upset by the third or fourth pris.
I'm going to give it yet another shot though. It's only fair.Comment

The simplest fix would be for you to do what I do with SM products. 1 pris then back to old faithful.
SM stuff is actually one of the only things I intentionally get in portions these days. I'll take no more than 2 portions with me and that is my limit on the stuff for the day. I just lay em right inside my tin of Phantom los and usually use em right after lunch when I have a full belly to protect myself from the usual gut-rot it gives me on an empty stomach.
Cheers!Comment

I think V2s a bit stronger than average. I don't care what the official numbers say. I always feel half buzzed after a pris of Offroad or Phantom. The portions I feel sick because they taste like ass :^POriginally posted by cocsp2002Comment

V2 is quality.
I'm looking forward to my next shipment. It's pretty amazing how the stuff grows on you; that was my experience.

So I was cleaning out my ice maker's drawer today and I found a can off OR cran!
So I set it on the table for an hour to thaw (one of the longest hours ever...) eagerly awaiting a taste of that wonderfully natural cranberry flavor.
And I've hady pris in for about an hour and it is fantastic. I'm taking it to work tomorrow to see how the stomach holds up.
I have high hopes. I really love this flavor; my only complaint is that the juice is rather spicy. Other than that, no real complaints!Comment

Use it in moderation. We already know that it F's up your stomach if you use too much.
I dont want to see a post tomorrow night talking about how you have a bad case of gut-rot because you did the same thing again :lol:Comment

I've been wrong lots of times. Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

Thank you, PP. And Xobe, I think the problem is the fast nic delivery. I'm going to try to keep it to .25 can tomorrow with plenty of time between pris and see how it goes. And no hilbillies.Comment
