Dip and snus - nicotine comparison?

[Reynard]

Hey guys,

I gather that long cut dip is usually around 10-11 mg/g in nicotine content (at least the brands I'll be using like cope and Skoal etc), but I have question relating to the 'nic hit' or free nicotine of dipping.

I snus 1g, whether lös or portion, and i use 8-9mg/g snus. As I have just found dip and I enjoy it, how much should I use? I was taking medium size pinches but I stopped enjoying snus, as my tolerance grew. Is 1g overkill for my needs? (would that provide me with the same amount of nic as 1g of snus, or more?)

Thanks

hey Vulpes! ;-)

Dip and snus are completely different experiences for me, but honestly, snus does give a much better nicotine hit. (so does dip, but you'd need to use a hilly billy pinch!) Overall, I think snus hits much faster and there is a whole lot more nicotine absorbed from snus.

When I Dipped "fulltime" I went up to a can a day in no time, haha, it's no joke! I know people that dipped almost 3 cans a day

I'll vouch for this. I dipped a can of Grizzly wintergreen a day, for several years. A can of snus lasts me 3-4 days normally. I never really measured, I just took out massive pinches and threw it in my lip. It's a strange situation though, when I first switched from dip to ES portions/los, snus hit me HARD, and gave me a massive buzz. Granted, I'm not looking for a buzz, but it really hit HARD. After a few years with snus, a regular pinch of dip was making me buzz the same way that snus was when I first switched. I think our bodies just adjust to whatever we are currently using.

Thanks guys, I guess i'll just take smaller pinches and see how I go. Snus will always be my workhorse, but nice to have a dip every now and again, as my nose doesn't tolerate snuff and I don't smoke cigars or pipes.

It showed up on my credit card and it comes Sac Longchamp to $22.80. A little better then I thought it might be. I bought my first portion can at snuscentral for a lot more. Can't quite remember the price but as of today they are going for $48.23.

If I was a collector type I would have Sac Longchamp Pliage gotten all three colors.
