(New) to snus, few questions about nicotine not effecting me.

[Skell18]

I have never had a nic rush from snuff in the last 10 years or so, it only happened once, White Elephant was the offending snuff, it lasted about 30 seconds then nothing.

Squeezy the Onyx is on its way to me, you shall be flush(ish) with some decent snus soon my friend

[Skell18]

Maybe you could try this one - covers all the bases!

hahahahahahahahahahaha, now that made me laugh out loud!

[Skell18]

The Elephant does pack a punch........But nic buzz is a fools game! Nic pleasure, that is a whole nuther enchilada......

Exactly, I never chase that magic dragon, I have Valium for that

[alopezg1]

not only have you found a completely harmless tobacco product... it also seems to alter the very
fabric of reality !

How very unfortunate. The first snuff of the day wallops me and it's extremely pleasant.

I feel content after the first snuff or snus, but no knock out rush.

I guess everybody is remarkably different. For instance you seem to be able to put a few pints away and be fine for work. I cannot. I know I'm very sensitive to drugs of any kind - two nurofen plus will send me into a period of calm and bliss.

True, true, I am far from fine in work, I just get on with it

Can i just ask how much snuff you use at a time? I have literally put three large pinches of toque spanish gem in my nose and still can't feel a dam thing. Not speaking of a buzz but the satisfaction of a nicotine craving. I have this high suspicion I am using snuff entirely wrong. As soon as i sniff it the scent is gone and i don't feel a thing.

I just put a generous heap of it on my hand and gently sniff. Basically as much snuff as my nose can take in. I'm just using Old Paris which is fairly coarse.

I take about 3 or 4 small pinches, hold the snuff in between your fingers for a few seconds before taking it to warm up the oils in it, that helps release the scent. Don't leave the lid off (unless airing the ammonia smell from a fresh batch) as that kills the scent, always keep it sealed unless taking a pinch.

The nic craving is psychological, you may not "feel" anything but you won't be as tense and will relax a bit. With me as I stated before, I don't feel as buzz, just satisfied.

Well just to clarify, to me, a tobacco buzz isn't a high like alcohol or drugs, I've always thought of it to be a calming, relaxing, feel good buzz, which is what ive never gotten besides when i first smoked. But I think the original question has been answered in many ways, im just never going to be able to enjoy the tobacco as much as others haha. and a few of you asked why is it i still do it if Im not addicted to run into the possibility of addiction? Im doing it still for the same reasons I and everyone else on these forums started. It is a completely different experience, enjoy the different flavors, no hassle of spitting or going outside to smoke, and I just enjoy having something in my mouth while i work. Used to range from chew, dip, plugs, chewing gum, sunflower seeds, and i even went as far to chew on that candy wax stuff. Now its just snus and seeds.

Oh! How accurate are the "Best Before" dates on the snus? or does the snus just become less....tasteful after the date? I have about 15 cans that are "best before 7/22/13". i just realized this today so I put them up from so ill use em quickly.

Freeze them. Might last longer that way
