I’m curious as to how you snusers go through your snus? Do you open only ONE can until you go through the whole thing before you open another? Do you open a bunch at once and just go through each one depending on what you feel like having until they’re done? Do you open multiple and leave any open for weeks or months while going through some quicker than others? Ever open one only to use a bit of it and end up forgetting about it? I myself don’t like to crack open more than two cans at once, usually 1 regular strength and 1 extra/ultra strong. I usually use the regulars early in the day until I’ve reached my tolerance with those, and later in the day (usually late afternoons) I will go through 2 or 3 of the extra strong. I don’t like opening more than 2 cans at once for fear of not going through them fast enough, as I don’t want them to go bad or lose their flavor despite keeping them in the fridge as much as possible. I’ve heard some do the opposite of me (use extra sterks early in the day to get a big nicotine kick in the morning, and regulars later), but that doesn’t make much sense and seems backwards to me because using extra sterks first thing would blast your tolerance up very fast, and by the end of the day the regulars won’t do anything for you?

I usually have two open, 1 loose and 1 regular strength portion. I like strong loose because I get more bang for the buck. I’ll pack a large prilla of loose first thing in the morning and then smaller ones throughout the day. Portion snus is usually regular strength for me now and I keep them around for those times when loose isn’t convenient. I’d say my ratio is around 3 tins loose to 1 tin portion.

When I first started snus I would have as many as 10 or 15 cans open. Now that I’ve settled down knowing what I like I generally have 4 cans open. One each, extra-strong, strong, regular and lös. I use one or two ES a day, rotate regular and strong at work and usually use lös at home in the evening.

I have at least 15 open cans in the fridge door, always fresh as the fridge works perfect

@bigmick‌ Wow, 10 - 15 cans!! It sounds like you don’t really chain snus throughout the day, so did it take months to end up finishing them? I use maybe on average 4 portions per day, so that means 4 - 5 days to get through one can. But it’s actually even longer, because if I’m using 2 regulars in the morning and 2 ES later in the day, each can might last me 8 - 10 days in that case.

Oh I chain snus. Usually the only time I don’t have a portion in is when I’m eating or sleeping. I use @14 portions a day.

You 15-can people are scaring me lol. @bigmick, do you have any issues with nicotine tolerance with that much use? Don’t you feel nothing from the nicotine by the 4th portion or so?

I use snuff, smoke a pipe and a e-cig also. lol I have a huge tolerance. I smoked upwards of 2 packs of cigs a day before I found snus. Snus is my main nicotine source, the rest is for aroma or in the case of the e-cig something do with my fingers. I can overdo it at times though.

i used to have 3 cans open at a time, a loose for home, a strong regular flavour and an odens cold. now im starting again i reckon ill just start having one can open at a time, portioned. im gonna get some dip on my next order too so that will take the place of the loose snus for a can or two.

I stick to one open at a time, though Ive had 2-3 open aswell. All snusers I know irl only got one open at a time though, real snus isnt hard to come by here.

I have always 3 open cans in my fridge, one of fruity flavored portions, one of classic portions and one of lös for home use.

I normally have 5-6 cans open at one time. Loose snus I keep a natural and minty one open, same for portion and I will usually have a fruity or oddball type flavor open too for a bit of variety. Thunder Frosted Los and Odens Cold Los are what I go through quickest though.

Usually one or two as I tend now to stick to what I like, changing it up sometimes for fun. I mostly use general and Röda Lacket.

Röda Lacket is great. First snus I ever used! First used the portion, and then tried the los.

The lös, to me, is much better than the portions, you. An really get all the flavours from it in lös form and it’s so easy to bake! I just miss claq qui so much!!

@Skell18, I’m taking this thread off topic a bit, but expanding on your last post… I have indeed noticed that portion and a loose of the same flavor actually seems to have a different flavor between the two and I’ve always wondered why? In my experiment, I bought Roda Lacket in both loose and portion, and I found that the loose tastes quite different from the portion. So what I did was I actually emptied some of the portions from the portion Roda Lacket to form a loose prilla with the snus that was previously in the portions, and it indeed as a distinctly different but slightly similar flavor. Do they manufacture them differently? What is it? After looking up some of this on google, it seems like there are many others that agree there is a difference in the taste between many portion and loose of the same flavors. My next experiment is to do this with Probe whisky. I’ve only ever used the portion Probe whisky, but I have a can of los in the freezer waiting, and I can’t wait to compare them. I tried emailing buysnus.com asking them about this phenomenon and they said they would get back to me after asking one of their connections in the industry. Still waiting to hear back, lol.

Most of the portions have smoke flavour added, the lös doesn’t, that to me, is why there is such a flavour difference. Also,with Röda Lacket and göteborgs Rapé the portions are white portions,the lös is moister,so the flavour will be slightly different, not hugely noticeable,but subtle.

On average I will have two to three open, it really depends what I have on hand and what my mood is. Sometimes I will only have one open if I am down to one scent/type though.

I agree with @Skell18‌ , but to take it a tad farther…the extra processing of portions , loss of moisture, more handling, will alter the flavor. Original portions are closer to the lös flavor but still a bit different. Also most of us use a much larger chunk of lös than the .8-1 gram of a portion. Try a smaller prilla of the Roda lös and see if that changes things for you. In the case of Probe I’d almost say they are different recipes. I despise Probe portions. I kind of like the lös. Not enough to buy more than a couple cans a year, but you can’t pay me to use the portions. ( well you could pay me, but I doubt anyone wants lay out that kind of cash just to make me use it.)

I currently have 10 open tins, 4 of which are pouches
