Alright, so I received a try pack from Snusdirect and am having a devil of a time getting used to the nicotine in these suckers. Now, I have no time snuffing scotches - I could do it all day long; and I used to be a three pack per week smoker, but these little pouches send me reeling! Any tips on how to adjust my body to the extra nicotine? Also, I know a lot of people gut the juice from this, but I find that unless I’m having a coke or coffee with it, I have a hard time swallowing. Suggestions, please! Pour forth your wisdom upon this poor uneducated soul.

You will be chain snussing in no time.

try los you can make the prilla as small as you want.

I only snus sterks mainly because I like the flavor more. As a matter a fact I have an Odens Extreme 59 in my mouth and a nose full of Square scotch snuff. It is amazing how your body adjusts to the nicotine. Just stick with it in about three days you won’t notice it.

hey Snuffinclown … what type of snus are you using?  is it just a normal 8mg portion, or a sterk/ekstra sterk?

as far as gutting the juice … high nic snus gives me “niccups” … but it gets easier, regardless of the type you are using … you will get use to it.  just have some water handy.  

if you are using a high nic snus, i.e. 12 to upwards of 21mg of nicotine … it will pile up on you until you are sweating, if you aren’t use to it … i was a pack a day smoker … i probably pop in 10 -12 ettan portions a day … smooth and easy.  

Thanks for the advice, I guess I’ll just keep popping and see what happens!

@snuffbrant a few different types, I’ve got the long and the…medium? As well as a few tins of loose. 

Careful with the loose, very easy to put way too much in and blow your head off!

the long portions are typically around 12-15mg, depending on whether it is thunder, lab02 - 06, general long sterk … but if it is just general long portion, or lab01, it would be an 8mg portion.  keep on poppin’ … it’ll get better.  but, yeah, bish777 is right, you could bake a huge prilla and it could really give you the shakes.  :)

My first snus from the SnusDirect trypack was the Nick and Johnny Original Edge strong portion. I felt the hit but didn’t get dizzy or get the shakes. I guess we are all different. I put in two of the general potion and I did get the hiccups so I think I will stick with one at a time for now. Snus is great for going to the gym, I can put one in and work out without getting a nic fit. So far I like them but not enough to replace snuff.

for me it depends what I’am doing. hands occupied = snus time.
