new snusser!

[thediscgolfkid]

Hey all! I've read the forum for around a month now, been snussing since then never been a smoker... Tried dip once, then my brother (he's army, and almost all of them dip apparently) gave me a "camel snus" pouch. I was hooked! I then tried skoal snus and loved it much more. Better kick, better flavor and didn't leave my lip feeling "chapped" on the inside. I ordered some general and ettan from a website and received it today so far I love the general mint pouches the most. Any suggestions on other Swedish snusses I should try?

[Brutecraft]

imo general is best..

if you dabbled in los yet you should try some thunder frosted and odens

Will do! I bought 3 original cans (gen and ettan... Moist and white) and they're okaaay... I dig the saltiness, but much prefer sweet/salty mix like mint etc.

Well it's been said here a 100 times, but I'll say it again. If your not addicted to nicotine you should quit while your not. You are about to pick up a habit that will cost you 1000's of dollars in the long run. Most of us here are using because it is less harmful than our previous method of delivery. That being said and out of the way if your going to continue on I like general strong white for now but I reserve the right to change it up at anytime.......

So far I'm sticking with the 8mg nicotine stuff. I don't get the "buzz" that I used to when i first started. But strangely, my drinking habit had dropped tremendously since I started snus! Used to drink 3+ (minimum) beers a day... Down to less than maybe 4 a week. Don't know why the want for alcohol went away, but it almost sounds like a pretty good tradeoff to me.

Also, how many pouches do you guys go through a day? Just kinda wanna compare my usage to others. I'm using maybe 7-9 a day. Makes work go by faster lol. I'm 23 and from CA BTW

Welcome mate, if you like minty snuses then Jakobsson's mint is hard to beat, but is 14mg. Catch Eucalyptus is good one, and 8mg. So is skruf slim fresh, and that's a good subtle mint one.

Ty all for the hasty replies and for being so helpful! I've been blessed with a girlfriend who doesn't mind me snussing and loves guns lol! Unfortunately, my mom doesn't like seeing my spit-bottles (i salivate a lot, even in the top lip). I don't like to swallow (that's what she said), so what do you guys do? My main problem with swallowing it is, I get heartburn pretty bad and it kinda stings my throat a bit.

It depends on the snus for me. If it's something overly strong tasting, I usually dump it when it starts to drip. If it's something mild, I just go with it lol.

You can swallow snus juice no probs, its not like dip which just kills you with heartburn, you get used to the burn after a while, I don't notice it now unless its a thunder which have always given a tingling sensation for me. I don't get heartburn with snus juice now.

It doesn't bother me when I swallow it but I have been spitting since I'm not sure if it's good for you in the long term?
