Difference in Los and portions?

[Belatorius]

If you were to get the same brand, one in los and the other in portions, whats the difference? Same nicotine delivery? Or just the difference in sizes and flavors?

[saberz]

With a portion you would get a bit more flavor and juice since it's contained in a pouch. Playing with los can result in a mud slide. The los really seems to give a more thorough hit imo quicker(again imo). Doesn't feel like anything is there with los as well. The portion to me, can be a tad bulky pending on the size.

Others will chime in who are far more experienced than I am.

Saberz is right about the portions being more flavorful. However you get more snus per can with loose snus it just takes longer for the flavor to develop. At leaste that the way it happens for me. since your just starting out and I think you said you wanted to stay away from flavors , I would suggest Roda lacket los and roda lacket white portion. Ettan loose and Ettan regular portion are great as well. Loose snus is going to be more mellow at first and the flavor comes along.

Yes . I put a portion in a week or so ago after not having used them for months. My god ! salt ! intense flavour! and not in a good way
and the whole tampon in the mouth sensation , i forgot how irritating that was

[saberz]

Lol tampon. Good analogy

Lös is delicious, and portions hint at being delicious :^P

The same brand will taste different in portion and lös form. Which is better is personal preference. I like the mouth feel, flavor, and the ability to customize lössnus. I use a about a tin of portions a month. The rest is lös.

Portions are like taking a photograph with an automatic camera..........los is like having to choose the leans, focus manually, and set the Asap yourself.

In other words.......portions are good.......but it is one size, one speed, and one flavor intensity

With los, you can regulate the flavor intensity and length of flavor release all by the size of the pris and the and how tightly you bake the pris.

Plus the whole tampon thing

los snus will enable you to grow a hearty beard and wrestle reindeer . Portion snus is feminine and discreet

On behalf of portion users, you can enjoy portion snus without being gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. Some of us are just too lazy for Los. And as far as the tampon remarks, you may be on to something there...a new-style portion with a string to facilitate quick removal, again, because I'm lazy.

some of my best friends use portions

[resnor]

I like both, but use far more portion than loose. For me, portions just fit my needs better. Work, meetings, wherever, I can simply throw a portion in, and not worry about it. Also, portions stay in my mouth probably twice as long as I can keep los in, especially if I make a large prilla of los.

Portions are for sissys and Jr High kids.

That said, I'll use portions once in a while. Can't remember the last time I actually ordered any though. What I have in the freezer is either several years old or what I got as freebies (when you used to get freebies).

The los mouth feel is so much better. Wish some of the portion flavors were available in los.

[Frankie Reloaded]

For me, the main differences are:
- price (los is cheaper per gram);
- ease of removing (I just cannot do it discreetly with los - index finger in mouth necessary most of the time);
- ability to make your own dosage exactly according to your current need (that is mostly why I use los even though I place it in DIY portions).

I also think portions last longer, but that might be just lack of skill to keep los intact in mouth.

I've used loose; it was OK, but it didn't make my balls any bigger.
Still prefer portions. Maybe I'm just lazy.

Question: What is the ratio of portion to los snus sales in America? I don't know the answer, but I'd be willing to bet that for every can of los sold there are 10 cans of portion sold.
