Ok, so i got some twist from GH, i was out and about so didnt have time to do the research but i ran out of snus so plumped for some black pigtail and black xxx. ridiculously expensive… but hopefully i can get some snus again soon. anyway, how do i use this, ive just been switching between lower and upper lip (habit from snus) and chewing occasionally. not tried the black xxx, but its a big chunk rather than a tight rope. do i spit? will i get away with gutting some? cheers for any help.
In my experience, the juice from twist/plug is a bit more harsh than what you’d get with snus. If you upper lip it you should get a lot less juice than lower lip. I’m a bad one to ask about gutting as I have a cast iron gut and have been gutting dip since day one. It tends to irritate my throat a bit, so I tend to spit the tobacco juice whenever possible. I guess just try to gut a little and see how it goes. If all is fine, gut more the next time. As far as technique goes I’m not a purist for anything. If you’re enjoying yourself and getting the nic you need you’re probably not doing it terribly wrong. Some people like to save the finished twist pieces and smoke them later. Not my gig, but it may be worth a shot to try.
might try that saving the finished pieces thing, i mean ive lost my pipe in one of the many places i currently switch between living, but i didnt have a problem getting these twists because i figured i could smoke it if i didnt get on with it orally. im trying the XXX now which i thought would be too loose for me as as beginner with non snus oral tobacco, but it seems to be more comfortable in the bottom lip than the pigtail did. a little less juice than the twist too, but that might be because im chewing it less for fear of it breaking up too much. not bad… i wonder how my gut will hold up since im auto swallowing from my snus habits. not much wrong with it up to now after about 30 minutes pigtail, a little break while i ate and now 1o/15 mins with this XXX.
any tricks to increase nicotine and reduce juice?
@Firestarter I find I enjoy it alot better if I think of my chew like its a sweet and your just sucking on it, you get a good nic hit and you don’t notice the juice because your sucking on it all the time so yeah - also don’t have to spit.
would def suggest spitting while using anything other than snus . especially the black xxx because you should be able to get a big enough hit from it with some slight chewing
