OK so I am hit or miss with nicotine rushes. Every now and then evrything is just right and I feel the nic and am sure of it. Most other times I’m not sure I’m feeling it. So I ordered some strong snuffs to see if I just maybe have a high tolerance. I am getting a lot in my throat can’t seem to keep in all in front and sniff it all too. So all you experienced members out there, have you gone through this when you started? What did you do to fix it?

I take a deep breath, as far in as I can. Hold your breath in, and then sniff. Thats should help with the hitting the back of your throat. Not all snuff has the same amount of nic in it. So that might be why you dont always get a rush.

It sounds like you are chasing the dragon. Be still thine bleeding heart then in your peripheral you will notice he is at your side. Turn to look and he is gone. Or…try elevating your insulin levels (sugar does the trick) before a snuff, add caffeine to the mix for even better heart bursting action.

Yes, It takes time. It might even take a few weeks. If you’re smoking, you’ll have to wait sometime after smoking, maybe a half hour or you won’t get anything. Likewise if you are craving a cigarette, snuff will take the edge off, but might be some time before you get real pleasure. Also, those finer ground snuffs are going to only give a brief rush. If you are not paying attention, you might miss it, that is until you are practiced. Paitence! Practice! Persistance! Perserverance!

@juxtaposer - Looks like you were right. My first two pinches of the day proved to be quite powerful. I posted this at the end of my day after snuffing for a few hours at my desk. Wow Toque Quit IS powerful stuff.

I find I usually get a very satisfying nicotine hit if I take 3-4 large pinches in relatively quick sucession otherwise I don’t notice a great deal of difference

I often get a super satisfying nic hit. I think it’s the technique I really do. Especialy since once I changed my technique I’ve been not sneezing and also really feel the snuff really well and strongly. I wonder if the first snuffs in the day which always seemed strongest to me because was because I paid more attention to the snuffing and snuffed right. Just a thought.

Looking for nicoteen? Its all hiding in little plastic containers with NTSU stamped on them. Its very coarse, reeks of ammonia and is mind smashing ! Take it damp, straight from the container and you will get one hell of a nic hit. Look at NTSU discussions on this site for more info.

I don’t get any nicotine hit with snuff. I used to about a year ago, but now I don’t. Maybe it’s because occasional cigarettes I smoke or maybe I just got used to nicotine doses in snuff.

After a solid week of not using snus, I find the nicotine in certain snuff is outstanding and last more than 15 minutes. I used to think Crumbs Of Comfort was low in the nic department, now I know that isn’t the case. Quit and Sp Extra is quite powerful IMO.

I too am trying to taper off the snus. He does change the nicotine levels. rdunnion, try sniffing without using any lung power. It is possible, and it works with the finest of snuffs.
