Just got my Getsnus order. I am enjoying my first pris of los, Offroad Original. It's nice, except avoiding the reflex of wanting to "tongue" my portion like I usually do is killing me!
The jury's still out. :?
Z,
you might want to check out the Dipper's Guide to snus. It deals with all things los and a lot of folks have contributed a lot of good suggestions, tips and insights. You might find it helpful
For now let me just say that I think the key is to just give it a little time. Be patient. A big part is acclimating. Once you have done that it all gets a whole lot easier.
Anyway, here is the link to the Guide. Keep us posted on how it is going
So having tries a pris of Gotland Yellow today, I'm beginning to think that the "harder to bake" courser ground snus are actually less prone to mudslides once you get a good pris in.
Is this a reasonable assumption in my still newbie los world?

Yea, I'd say that. You could put coarse snus in without baking it at all, and be able to keep the pieces easily corralled with your tongue.
I just busted my los cherry last night. Ordered an Ice tool and a variety pack of los from Buysnus.com which included Ettan, Roda Lachet (sp?), General, Rape (I really wish that had a different name!), some whiskey flavored brand I can't recall and a couple others.
Anyway, all it took was watching chaddizzy's Ice tool video and I was able to load it up and pop it in no problem at all. I started with 2 clicks, but then realized I prefer a little over 3. It also took me like 2 or 3 goes at it to get it placed in my lip at the right spot.
I'm really loving the los! The flavor is more pronounced and it doesn't seem to aggravate my gums like portions. Though it has seemed for the past few days that my gums weren't getting sore from the portions like they had in the past, so maybe I finally got over that hump. I know when I dipped it took a few weeks for my gums to get used to it.
The only issue I have so far is spitting a used los out. The stuff tends to stick to my gums and lip like paste, whereas with dip it was usually pretty trivial to spit it out in one nice chunk.
I gotta thank you guys for turning me on to te Ice tool. Without it it's doubtful I'd ever even try los. And thanks especially to Chad for posting that video. The Ice tool really is easy to use, and I'm sure I could have figured it out on my own. But it made it so much easier to see it in action.
My method for getting rid of a portion of los (thanks to many tips here). Tighten your lips and blow out (thus making your mouth look like Dizzy Gillespie). Then, just shake your head. Normally the pris will just kind of fall from your gums in one solid lump.
i got my 3ml ss icetool yesterday. i does make using los a much better experience. pris stays packed longer and fits better in the upper lip. worth every penny

Hope this helps.
Just one small itsy bitsy request………….
Please don’t do this in public!!!
Snus already has enough stigmas attached to it just being a tobacco product
The last thing we need is a bunch of people going into a mild epileptic fit right before they pop a little brown turd out of their mouth.
On second thought this might be just the sort of thing that will keep snus under the radar………………so never mind………. by all means carry on
dog :lol:

When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

Haha, yeah. I know someone is gonna walk by my office as I'm shakin' about like Muhammad Ali and wonder what the hell I'm doing. Not sure what I'd have a harder time explaining, the head shaking to remove a pris, or the big syringe looking thing I inject into my upper lip to insert one.
On St. Patricks day I did what most people do and hit quite a few bars. I met a girl that I could actually spend more than a day with (that doesn't happen...
