Only the strong stuff works

[snustocope]

I haven't smoked for about a decade, so I don't understand why the snus at 8mg, isn't effective.
Indecently, I started snusing after I stopped Abilify medication about 4 months ago, had a really stressful workday and did not want to smoke.
I purchased a tin of the Camel snus from a 7-11 and learned from the internet that there was better snus out there.
That was how I started snusing.

A couple of months later...
I was on vacation, and brought two cans of General Mint and Wintergreen.
I found that I did not get any kind of nicotine hit or buzz even the first thing in the morning.
Even double portioning it I was still surprised at how it did not work for me.

A couple of month later....
When I saw that Thunder frosted raw was available, I ordered some of this.
Since then, I have found that using this is the only thing that has given me that nicotine rush.
This really only occurs first thing in the morning or the first portion of the day.
After that, if I use the Thunder any other time throughout the day, I don't feel anything.
However, the rest of the day, I am frustrated that I can't take a time out and get that nicotine rush again.

Is this pretty typical, I have always found that 8mg were not strong enough?

However, I see that most portion snus is 8mg.

It's nic tolerance.

I wouldn't bother chasing the dragon mate, you won't ever catch it, you just have a tolerance to the extra starks so you won't get "that buzz" just when a craving comes, a portion will take it away, same way smoking worked. In the 15 or so years I smoked I don't remember ever getting a buzz other than the very first times I ever tried a cigarette, with snus it was the first times I tried extra starks.

What you need to try is to use normal portions for a bit, that way your tolerance will lower, its hard but like pris says, its about nic tolerance at this stage. You will then find the normal portions will satisfy you and you will feel more uplifted when you use extra starks.

I feel something when I go to ES after a good run on normal strength snus, not much but its there.
