Lower lip?

[RRK]

Sometimes I move my portions down to my lower lip if I want to get some more taste out of them.

The problem I have with los in general is that I can't move it around. I do like the flavor of los so once in a while I will bottom lip a small pilla just to experience the flavors a bit more. I don't really even bake it in that case because it is a small enough portion that it stays put fairly well. It reminds me a lot of american dip just a little bit messier. No spitting necessary for me.

I should add that it depends on the cut of loose. Skruf is easier for me to lower lip because it is a courser cut. However, there's no way I could pull it off with something like roda, which is a very fine cut. My whole mouth goes to mud immediately if I try to lower lip a fine cut.

I'm rather new, and i just fold my portions in half so its smaller like the camel snus (which really isnt snus). my only problem is that i dodnt notice the flavor with it up there. i wonder how people get the flavor, without having to swallow which then leads to an upset stomach.

Welcome to SnusOn gearboy666!

I fold my portions in half as well. The start of flavor depends on if you are using "white" portions or regular portions. White portions have not been sprayed with liquid in the last step of the process, and are dry...so it will take a little longer to start getting flavor. The regular portions have been sprayed, so they are more moist, and the flavor starts quickly.

As far as snus, you mostly do swallow...spitting isn't necessary. If you are getting an upset stomach, can I ask you...are you snusing on an empty stomach? That can sometimes cause nausea issues. When I first started snusing, I used Camel Mellow....and immediately threw up from swallowing the juice. Swedish snus are different...you have to get used to the salt, but I haven't had an upset stomach from them.

Top for me.

well i do a mix of white and regular and noticed the moistness. the only way i notice flavor is if i actually lick the portion while its in place, never much saliva up there. ill have to take the tip on snusing on an empty stomach...

Welcome to Snuson gearboy666,

What deeanne59 said about swallowing ( :lol: :lol: ). It really isn't a big issue.

Just curious. How long have you been using Swedish snus now?

[gearboy666]

well im rather new, i quit smoking except for the once in a blue moon hookah with my buds, so i have an ecig i use sometimes. im more hooked to snus now, especially since ive gotten great deals from getsnus.com. snus is more convenient as i can use it during my college classes without any nasty looks.

[sagedil]

deeanne59 came from an e-cigg too.

My guess is you just need a bit more time for your body to adjust to everything. Soon, getting flavor will not be a huge issue. Just be aware your tastes will jump all over the map your first year. Just because you liked something last week doesn't mean you will like it again next week. And what you once hated, you might come to love.

Just really seems to be the way of snus.

Oh, and I hate you. I would have killed for snus when I was in college years ago. :wink:

[gearboy666]

during business law, snus comes in handy so much. i honestly do want to get a little flavor though. ive always been a menthol person, so i may stick to the lines of mint flavors. i almost feel like i should have chosen thunder mint as my first roll. at least i got a can of general mint and white mini mint free.

[sagedil]

OK, easy solution. Get a few cans of Thunder Frosted. I promise, more than enough flavor to satisfy.

In fact, most folks wear out on eventually as the flavor is just so much. But for you now, a great choice. As I said, your tastes will eventually change and you can follow that when it does. But for now, I promise. Thunder frosted will make you happy.

[deeanne59]

I agree with Sage...Thunder Frosted is great as far as flavor and a good nic hit. I, too, used an e-cig at first....but it didn't satisfy my nicotine needs as well as snus. I am mostly a "chain snuser"....I alternate between an extra sterk portion and a regular or strong portion all day.

[gearboy666]

im not exactly worried about the actual flavor, just how to get it, i keep my portion close to the center of my upper lip, so i never salivate much. it doesnt bother me too much, i's just wonderin how you actually taste it, right now i just lick the portion if i want any flavor. but i must say thunder gives a great buzz.

[deeanne59]

You are keeping your portions in the "dryest" section of your mouth. If you move the portion slightly to either side, it will "drip" more flavor. You will taste it on your tongue and back of the throat. The farther back the portion is positioned, the more it will drip. I keep mine slightly to one side, and I get plenty of flavor for me...and a good drip, but not overwhelming. I lick the portions with my tongue too, but only when it quits dripping - and I am getting the last bit of flavor out of it. The area for the heavest dripping is the lower lip. I found that area to be a bit much for me.

[gearboy666]

ah, ok, that makes sense.
