hey guys im new to snuffing been doing it for just over 48 hours now and i noticed im already snuffing around 12 pinches a day is that too much to start with?
Not at all. Really depending on your past relationship with nicotine (have you smoked before?) and the type of snuff, that would be fine. I know some people that do up to 100 pinches in a day. Just go with what you feel is good.
12 pinches a minute might be too much, but if you can count how many pinches you take in a day it definitely isn’t too much.
There’s no limit on how much snuff you use. Useage varies widely. With little to no health implications, you can do what you want.
just do the snuff when you feel like it. People don’t ask this question with pipes or cigarettes or snus. They just do it as needed.
Do a line, yell “WOOOO!!!”, and freak out the people in your office. You’ve done too much when they call HR.
thank you for the comments i felt like i was using too much i have a 5g tin of blueberry silver dollar that ive been using for the last two days that isnt empty yet and yes i was a smoker before i started using snuff and i did dip briefly but snuff is much more inexpensive and much more enjoyable
(to be serious this time) A 5g tin over a few days is totally fine. There are people who use well over 5g in a single day. As an ex-smoker I doubt you will have any problems with the amount of nicotine involved. There are quite a few out there that are supposed to pack a really big nic hit, and I almost never feel it. SD is pretty standard, so you’re well within the realm of reason. If dipping didn’t lay you on your butt for nic, you’ll be just fine. Happy snuffing!
Welcome @Choa! At first I did read that as “12 pinches a hour”. Yup, take a pinch whenever you want.
What ever you are comfortable with is fine. Your stomach will tell you when you had too much.
Agree with all above and have noticed that different types can affect my usage rate. Type of grind, moisture level, what I’m eating/drinking and my level of stress. As @basement_shaman just stated, just go with what you are comfortable with and dont worry if your ‘comfort’ level changes… ENJOY!!
These folks have it right. Its easy enough to over do it, though, if you are using multiple forms of tobacco for a certain length of time. Like when I’ve been snuffing, smoking strong RYO and smoking dokha for a while. Snuff itself, would take a pretty large amount for someone who’s used to tobacco.
I am a new snuffer as well would anyone suggest me a nice snuff to start with snuffing.
McChrystals O&G is loved by most. Also, Poschls are good for beginners. Then choose a selection of scents you think will be agreeable. Buy a wide selection from mistersnuff.com and read as much as you can on this site. You are about to begin a wonderful adventure.
basic rule again: THE MORE THE BETTER !!
If you do want to try some Poschl’s, I’d suggest their Samuel Gawith Apricot, Ozona Raspberry, Ozona Cherry, or Radford Premium Mild, some of their others may have too much menthol to start with. The Toque fruit-with-menthol range could be good. Also the milder ones from Wilson’s of Sharrow. This is one area where variety is a very good thing, if you only get one or two you may be very well trying the wrong one(s) and missing out on ones you may love. At the very least, I’d suggest trying some from more than one maker.
Wilsons sells nice little variety packs in all sizes. They’re probably more economical than single tins, but I have not looked. Also I hear that they really make sure each variety pack gets an assortment of styles (menthol, sp, toast, etc). I found I freqented the WoS snuffs the most when I first started.
I ordered some more snuff this afternoon and did just that :). Got myself a gift pack.
