    How Much Snus I Use

    I told Tattooer I was gonna track my snus use for a week, and I forgot what thread it was in, so I'm making a new thread :^D

    I don't have a scale, so all quantities are eyeballed. I started with new tins of Göteborgs Prima Fint, General lös, and Gotland Grå lös. Portions were a la carte. There's about 10g left of Göteborgs and General, and about 24g left of Gotland. I also used 4 portions. That was a bit more than usual, but I was sent the Jakobssons test snuses, and I wanted to give them a try. That gives a grand total of 94g used in 7 days of snusing. That's a bit less than I thought. If manufacturers put the correct amount of snus in the tins,it would be less than 2 tins per week. Even with price raises, that's still less than when I smoked which was $15 per week. That was before they really jacked the prices on RYO tobacco.

    Very cost effective! I wish I had known about RYOs instead of the Marlboros @ $ 40 a week!

      I wont measure my own use since its so low. Like that much in a month. I snuff and vape too though. The savings over nicorette ( which i chewed for 10 years) is about 1/4 the cost AFTER I break even in two years from ALL the vape products i invested in trying things and figuring all that out. Snus is sooo much easier and id use snuff only bit i like to give my nose a break.

        I am also a vaper and a snuffer on top of snussing, as well as smoking the occasional coffin nail. I probably average out 3-4 cigs a week, a tin of snus about every 3-4 days, and about 4-5 ml of e liquid a week.

          Oops. I forgot about my pipes. I seldom use them. Once a week? I found a Boswells Sweet Tea recommended to me by Tattoo here on snusone when i mentioned if pipe smelled as good smoked as it did fresh and made my room smell like airfreshened fresh pipe and didnt leave a nasty taste in my mouth id puff away. It fits the bill pretty well! I really dont mis inhaling smoke at all so no worry there. My vape satisfies any of that urge for throat hit inhaling. Im pretty happy camper!

            I remember the thread as well but can't remember which one it was

            So I'll repeat what I posted there

            I chain snus........a can lasts me 3-4 days (thus right at 2 cans a week)

            I use probably 4-5 portions a week (meetings and what not)
            When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

              I think my usage peaked at about 1 roll of portions a week, but at the moment, and for a while, I'm on about 1/2 a roll a week. Depends on how I feel and what I'm upto I think.

                A roll a week? Now down to half a roll???? WTF!! Thats some serious snusage! I am probably on a can a week, if that, sometimes more, this week I did manage to kill an oden's 69 in 2 days.

                  Lx....
                  I truly thought your snusing to exceed that in weight per week.
                  Totally amazing that Lx,
                  Didnt use more, i figured
                  Around 3 tins loose weight
                  So around 150-180

                  Lx,
                  I cant find the thread now either.

                    I keep snus in for a long time. One hour minimum, and even at that level, I feel a bit like I'm wasting snus. I like at least 75 minutes. In any case, as long as it has flavor, I keep using it. I pretty much always have snus in, but the overall quantity isn't that great.

                      Same here, usually 2hrs or more, once it tastes of nothing, or the loose totally breaks up, i keep it in. Went 6hrs once without realizing I still had a portion in lol

                        Ive fell asleep with a portion in many times, however what a terrible tastse.....yuk

                        Normal usage in mind,Ive read after a hour,most of the "good stuff" is gone, so after a hour snusing.....
                        I ditch portions after a hour Odens however has a better tobacco taste after the flavor goes, so i keep those longer.

                          Yes I know what you mean about falling asleep with one in, you wake up to a hugely concentrated bitter taste!

                            Bitter is a understatement,
                            Hell I had to get a dip of Copenhagen S BLEND,to abolish the taste. ...

                                by Guest
                                Gotlandssnus' foundations are built on three generations of snus experience, with the first snus on Gotland being produced in 1741. Using Alida tobacco, grown on the island of Gotland, in every one of their snus brands gives their snus a unique flavor that can only be found in Gotlandssnus.

                                Gotlandssnus is also the first ones to create a Christmas time snus, Julesnus, that's been a favorite since it's inception in 2003. Below is a list of the brands they produce

                                I recently got a very special shipment of snus from a Swedish friend. It was 50g each of Gotland Fläder, and Gotland PLAIN!

                                First the Fläder......
