TWISP'S DESTRUCTION BY BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO

Twisp, for many years was run very efficiently - most oils & spares were readily available, the Twisp counters were full of their products. Now, since towards the end of last year when British American Tobacco - BAT - took over Twisp - chaos has ensued with the lack of spares, oils and very little stock behind the counters. I personally sent an email to Twisp Support on 11th January, which was answered on 17th with a standard incomprehensible reply, A friend has also received the same standard reply. I then sent another email on 22nd January to: support@twisp and to Maura Frota & Kanyisa Ndyondya of BAT - all successfully delivered, and the arrogance of this company deems that they do not have to reply. I questioned the discontinuation of some excellent products, especially the ION and the subsequent stoppage of spares on these products. The smaller slimline products which are much favoured by many of the Twisp supporters are now being replaced by oversized cloud blowers. Many of the oils are out of stock - Pure oils which have less chemicals and Zero oils that have no nicotine are almost impossible to come by and yet one would think they would be very important for the health of anyone who uses these devices. Twisp insists that technology is improving but surely discontinuing old models without spares in *********ing the public into buying new devices. I am sure the next occurrence will be a sudden increase in the price of oils - just to put the cherry on the top (watch this space). British American Tobacco seem to ignore the vast amounts of protests. most which are not voiced - I appeal to any unhappy people to voice their opinion concerning this company.

Hi John 

Thank you again for reaching out to us in regards to your Twisp Ion device. We do see that we answered all your questions around your device, informing you that currently, spares and coils are available for your device to sustain your Warranty period and that coils will be on the market for the next 12 months. We had also informed you around upgraded devices and yes the technological advances on these products (as is the case in multiple products including this industry). We had requested your contact details to be sent to us in the event of you wanting to speak to one of your agents, but have not received this as yet. 

If there are particular flavours you are looking for, we are certainly sure we will be able to locate these for you if they are in our catalog.

Reviewer Update
The courtesey of a response to my email of the 22nd instant - which also by the way reflected my contact number would have been appreciated, I note - there is no apology. Please review your communication - you never requested my contact details (they would of course be on the Twisp database) My 2 ION devices costing approximately R1,000 each - if previous devices are to go on would last a lot longer than 12 months and after that time period do I just throw them away? I note your comment on upgrade devices - can you tell me exactly which upgraded device is at all similar to the ION. The flavours that I use where always available from your outlets - Tobacco Zero & Tobacco 18mg Pure - and now it seems I have to make contact with you to have them located. It would be a good idea to check my record to see how many thousands of Rands I have spent with Twisp over the years. I find all of your reply's to myself which as I explained - I share with 5 other people in our small town who are smoking Twisp devices & products to be totally negative. We again await your response.
