    question about using weak SNUS

    Good evening

    Started SNUSing about a month ago. Now, I am more into strong SNUS now my question:

    I have a can or two of 6 mg and find it very weak, I am placing two at a time, one on the right and one on the left, getting a good kick of it like that ... anyone else?

    I am in love with Onyx and lucky strike, wow what a flavor, that is my regular now

    I have never heard of a 6 mg snus before but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In my own opinion, I have used some 4 mg. portions that I felt were quite strong and some 8-11 mg portions which seemed a bit weak. I believe there is something else at play besides the amount of nicotine.

        I'm assuming you're referring to the Northerners. I double-barrel them quite
        often to get a higher potency nic hit. They're so discreet that I don't even
        bother using them on both sides at the same time; the 'pocket' under my
        left lip fits 2 quite comfortably.

        I chain-snus after years and years of (almost) chain-smoking so I tend to
        use high-nic (9-17mg) snus about half the time each day. The lower doses
        help maintain a balance for me.


        btw, WELCOME TO SNUSON.



        GoVegan ... Northerner (formerly known as Oomph) has 6mg snus.
        Citrus/Menthol, Licorice/Lemon, Wintergreen, Wine & Dine, and Boost
        Honey/Peppermint (with Caffeine/Tyrosine/Guarana).

          ahhh how could I forget Oomph. I use them all the time but I use the 3 mg ones and they seem to work just fine. Not really enough to get a nic kick but definitely enough to keep me from jonesing. The key is to give them about 20 minutes to work.

            General Silver's a bit light too, isn't it?

            Edit:
            Just looked it up. The Silver is 6mg per portion.

              I was under the impression Northerner/Oomph had the only 6mg portions
              until I read the OP. After a bit of research, I don't think the GS would serve
              any purpose for me; discreetness was one of the things I was looking for;
              General Silver has full-size portions.

              The Northerner Boost had caught my eye and I ordered all the 6mg
              Northerners for those in-between moments. Boost turns out to be my
              favorite of them all but the others are more than okay. Quite often I'll
              double-barrel them for a discreet extra nic kick.

                The Oomph ones have a particularly sharp nic hit from what I remember. I have double barreled those on many occasions but lost a connection with the flavor for some reason.

                Try doubling up on that Onyx you're so fond of...talk about nic hit. Wowzah.

                  Have you tried the Northerner Boost? The Honey/Peppermint hits the spot
                  taste-wise and the Caffeine/Tyrosine/Guarana give it the boost of coffee*.
                  Double-barreling mid-morning or -afternoon is like a well-earned wake-up
                  call (in lieu of a well-deserved siesta). And the discreetness is an added
                  bonus in some settings.

                  Then, there's nothing stopping you from using more than one flavor when
                  double-barreling --- I call that my casserole snus!!


                  * Caffeine: 20 Mg/portion (a cup of coffee contains 60 To 80 mg).
                  Guarana contains about twice the caffeine found in coffee beans.
