Hi,
I am 24, male (who would have guessed) and I hail from Australia!
I've not been a smoker for three years give or take now due to ecigs. I was put onto ecigs by the ecig thread thread on SomethingAwful. Its been a good three years and I have had a lot of involvement with ecigs including running the largest Australian community forums for the entirety of that time.
I have however never been under the illusion that I quit nicotine, just the practice of getting it through inhaling burning plant matter. This was important to me at the time as my mother had just been diagnosed with emphysema and I myself was diagnosed with a Sinus disease and was due to undergo surgery to address it and was informed that in order for it to truely be successful I should cease smoking. I knew this was going to be difficult though because I actually dont mind my nicotine habit, just the way I was getting it.
Anyhow fast forward three years and I now find myself looking for something that I can supplement my ecig usage with due to a few reasons. While my employer for the last three years or so has generally been ok with vaping he has now handed down an office wide ban as too many of us now vape and it has received complaints from one of the non smokers/vapers as to his health risks with us vaping around him. My boss did not wish to institute it but can not risk that the employee could attempt legal recourse over this failure to address it.
I did a google search for Snus usage and have ordered the following in two separate lots, the first from buysnus.com and the second from swedish-snus.com. Australia can be prickly about this stuff apparently so I assumed my best chance was to order 3-4 in one order shipped to my office and three to four in another to my house.
General Long Extra Strong Portion 1 pack 1 4.49 USD 4.49 USD
General Long Portion 1 pack 1 4.49 USD 4.49 USD
Thunder Frosted Longer Plus 1 pack 1 4.02 USD 4.02 USD
Swedish-snus for some reason does not seem to have sent me a confirmation of what I ordered despite having charged me but I think it was Lucky Strike, Onyx something or other and I can not remember the third.
A small part of me thinks of this as a failure or a step backwards after three years of ecig usage but on the other hand I find myself slipping at times back towards cigarettes the more difficult it becomes to control it with vaping in areas that it is restricted for me to do so.
I am hoping that with Snuss ability for the main part to be easily hidden and administered I can use it in combination with the Ecigs to ensure I never return to being a smoker.
From everything I have read so far I am expecting a nicotine supply that hits a fair bit harder than ecigs. At the moment I usage a provari at about 4.8 volts with a 2.5 ohm atomiser with either 24MG nic juice or 36MG nic juice and I pretty much have to chain vape to control my urges hence the issues with the office ban. Through vaping it seems to enter the bloodstream very slowly and minimally so you have to vape heavy and vape often to keep yourself level. I am kind of hoping that Snus can deliver a more "smoke" like nicotine hit.
Anyhow just sort of wanted to pop in and meet up with some like minded people, This is pretty much a lift of my post from my introductory on another forum as well so if you have seen it elsewhere that is why!
Also I would very much love to hear from any other Australians on the boards!
