Anyone cut a portion in half to use?

[Green324]

Snus use is fairly new to me. I've read a lot about it but didn't find much about cutting a portion in half. I read somewhere one person said they did and how but can't find the site now. So I seperated the tobacco to two sides, cut and then pressed the tobacco down. Folded the open side and placed that side up. Seemed to work fine though inconvenient! My reason for trying that was because I have some snus that is too strong and or big. Anyone tried that and have a suggestion?
I like mini snus but the selection is limited. I'd like to find a snus that is slim but the length of a reg. portion. Any help with that would be great too!

Thanks!

There are plenty of slim portion snuses out there , seems to be all the rage atm. I wonder if you might be able to use Los Snus in that small amount?

I've never seen anyone do it but it's easy to do.
Some portion materials are sealable by heat. I'd worry about doing that it'd surly end up burning Tobacco soneway

I know what you mean about limited selection for mini snus. I was primarily a mini white snus user. Pretty limited selection.

I recently bought a few rolls of STRONG slim white snus, and it is too much nicotine for me. Seems to be around the same amount of tobacco maybe 20% more, so I am not sure how they do that. Make it 2 times as strong as regular size but not 2 times as much tobacco. There is no way I could cut them in half and use without a mess. So I just push the tobacco to one side and cut the end off to one side, then push around 40-50% of the tobacco out, then push it back over to the side and fold the flap that is not there over and put it in. Sure it is wasting some of the tobacco, but it is still the same cost as mini's and I get the same # of portions so it's really no loss. Just some preparation..

I am starting to think that is what general does with the mini mint snus. They put a smaller amount of stronger tobacco in the pouches. I have found out of the couple brands of STRONG snus I have done this with, I wind up with similar amount of tobacco compared to a general mini mint, and I seem to get the same nicotine hit I have with the mini mints. I don't get this same hit with most of the mini white that are available. Even with the regular white size, it is different.

Well I’ve cut portions in half, I push the snus evenly to either side and cut right down the middle. Takes some work to get the center clear, but it’s doable. I then stick the open side up right in my snus pocket. It can be a mess to get out if you try to be dainty, but it’s fine if you have swiped a portion of los out of your lip.

I remember Sage talked about this with sterk portions. Not sure what he did with the other half before he used it, I pinch them in the lid of the catch container to keep them from spilling. I haven’t done this in a while though, used to do it back in the old days with Thunder 16mg/g portions to get more bang for the buck with portions.

I got some nicotine pouches that are too strong, and I was trying to think of a way to make them more useable, and cutting it in half was an idea, but I can't see how to do it effectivity because it's just a powder, and one end would be open, maybe taping it, but would that hold? Is it worth the effort for a $4 something item? I wonder if they could be diluted, like rest in some water for time, maybe overnight? I wish I'd gotten the lowest dose. I have experimented with removing it after a short time, using the same pouch, but the 4th time it made me very light headed, like I was going to pass out, I had to sit down till it passed. I'm guessing that was the cumulative doses through out the day was too much. It seems if I keep it to not more than 30 seconds and not more than 3 times, it would be ok. Just using the same pouch and putting it in the catch lid after. Is this crazy, why am I even doing this?

Possibly you could use a mini freezer bag sealer off Amazon or Ebay to re-seal the bags but I think it would probably be a really fiddly process and that you'd probably be better just ordering/purchasing some lower strength portions.

[tom502]

Yeah. I might try to cut one in half and tape it later today. I'll report back if it's a success.

[tom502]

My initial try was a fail. And I threw them away. If I try nicotine pouches again I want to try the Rogue 3 Tabak flavor, if I see it at a shop.

Just a thought. You can get portion material here....

Premium Parrots i really want to try Filt but it’s either out of stock where I look or the shipping too high :-(

[Premium Parrots]

I thought that ebay link wasn't too pricey....except for the shipping. You might want to cut open a teabag and see how that works. Or buy empty teabags on ebay for cheap. You can even get teabags that heat seal.

Hard to find in stock, but I have used these (still have some). Have to empty the pouch and use the tool to fill the new pouch. Meant to use with loose snus.
