How much is TOO much?

Sorry if this has been brought up before (did a search but only got the “what’s in your mailbox” links). I’m very very new to the snuff trade. Never smoked cigarettes, but got hooked on snuff through a couple members of my pipe community on YouTube (see my introduce yourself section). Anyway, I LOVE my snuff… actually using it to the point I fear I may be OVERDOING it. Is it normal to take a pinch in each nostril every 30 minutes to an hour? I just love the menthol feeling of Gawith Apricot (wish there was more apricot but nontheless) and after the menthol fades I always want to put another pinch in. Am I overdoing it? How frequent do you guys find yourself taking a sniff of your favorite snuff? Thanks in advance.

Hey bud…this thread might help. As far as too much goes, your body will let you know if you’re overdoing it, or at least mine does…lol!!! http://snuffhouse.org/discussion/4706/how-often-do-you-use-snuff/#Item\_58

Excelling! Exactly what I’m looking for Fisch! I dont know why the search didn’t find this for me the first time. Mods feel free to close this post.

No problem sir…that search can act a little wonky sometimes!!

when your nose is so clogged by tobacco you cant inhale any more its time to blow your nose and snuff more!

@bish777 Or just keep packin it in…it’ll find somewhere to go…lol!!!

LOL I’ll keep that in mind guys!

I’ve had a pinch every 5 minutes for about a half hour last night… My body let me know that it was too much. But everyones different :stuck_out_tongue: . I couldn’t keep it out of my nose it was so good! Make that 2 pinches lol. One for each nostril!

When I get rolling on something really good, I can take a pinch every few minutes for quite a while. Yes, my nose does get a little filled up eventually, and that’s when I take @bish777 for his word - blow and continue on. I’ve never gotten so much the nicotine affected me. Yet. I’m working on it though. Even as we speak… :slight_smile:

Well the way mine seems to let me know is through a slight nauseas feeling in my gut :stuck_out_tongue:

A heavy but non remarkable snuff habit would be a large pinch every 10 minutes or so, that’s certainly where I am. You would find it practically impossible to overdo snuff because your nasal passages would close down way before you got into trouble. About the most that could really happen would be a non nicotine tolerant person making themselves sick, like on your first proper cigarette. Just enjoy. @snuffnpuff

Thanks for all the tips/suggestions/comments fellas. I guess I’m kind of a lucky snuffer. I’m 35 and NEVER smoked cigarettes, just recently began smoking pipes and now use snuff. I tell ya fellas, I get a nic hit off of about 6 pinches of Poschl Gawith Apricot right now!! Talk about a cheap date eh?? LOL Oh well… I"m sure my tolerance will quickly go up but for now its a nic hit RUSH every 20 minutes or so! I have such a little tolerance that I have to stop after about 15 pinches for a couple hours just to settle down and feel normal again. I haven’t gotten sick yet though. Like I said… Lucky me!

@snuffnpuff You’re very lucky! I’ve been using nicotine of some form for about 20 yrs, and I always get sick whenever I get an order of new snuff in…especially on my last order of all Dholakia!! No hurling…just clammy, sweaty, flip flopping tummy!!

I started with cigarettes when I was 13, quit those and switched to Cope the redseal natural fine cut when Cope went over 3 bucks a can, also smoked cigars and pipes for the last 10 years. Started back on snuff about 3 months ago. For some reason I don’t feel any nic hit. Must have built up a high resistance. Now if we were talking about beer or liquor then I’m a cheap date 3 beers or drinks and I’m done. edm

I never seemed to feel much nicotine from snuff at first either, but now it seems like some snuffs hit me harder than smoking cigars! Certainly harder than any cigarette. Its strange!

I started out a few months ago using hardly any snuff at all and now i’m using 2 bullets a day of usually Toque Quit or Rooster,when my nose gets plugged up i just blow and start over. I smoked 2-3 packs of marlboro reds a day for 16 years so i have no fear of getting to much nicotine,lol.

Just started 3 weeks ago and was SHOCKED to notice I went though a whole 2g of my equal 1/3 mix of Toque Coke, Cherry and Cherry Menthol from my Posch bullet at work last night. I went to take some more and nothing came out of the bullet… opened her up and nothing was left!! Most I’ve ever snuffed at one time. Helped keep me awake on my nightshift though. Loving that mixture. I call it Glacial Cherry Coke. You guys should all try it.

@snuffnpuff sounds like a good mixture, I’ll have to try it. Stefan

@walrus1985 Tell me how you like it when your done enhaling your first 2g of it. Enjoy!

Lol snuff, the way I’ve been going through SP100 lately 2g is nothing lol, but I will try it. Stefan
