I just received awesome tobacco goodness. However, when i look at a tin of old fredders, it has a huge dent in the bottom.

I already have way too many vapers in jars, that are expensive and take up space. What should i do?

Ps: the dent is only at the bottom.

Dont worry. Those tins seal tight. Even after a year opened an manually closed the tobacco is good.

Probably fine. I've got a bunch of tins dented like that. If the seal is broken, it should be noticeably easier to squish this tin with your fingertips than other known good ones.

Smoke it when you feel like it. The tin is probably OK.

check the seal just feel if the lid feels solidly in place. I get more tins that are dented like that then not. And only tin I got with a seal failure looked pristine.

If you're really concerned, put it in a larger mylar bag. Ziplock long term is useless. Try opening it by hand as firmly as you can. If it doesn't turn, you're good.
