    Save money with extra sterk los?

    I have a theory don't know if anyone tried this. I was wondering with strong los, say it's 14 mg of nic per one pram pris. If you make a half gram pris.. It would be 7-8 grams give or take. It would be tiny granted and probably hard to handbake I know.. But a 45 gram tin would make 90 7 mg nic pris. So in theory one can of extra sterk los would be the equivalent of almost a roll of regular strength portions?

    A roll of regular portion snus has 240 portions not 90.

    Definitely using los would save money since a can of los has 45 grams of snus while a portion can has 24 grams if that's what you've been asking.

      My theory, the reason Extra Sterk is so popular in Norway is because of the high taxes. So given the same cost one goes with the higher nicotine content and uses less of it.

      Whether by using smaller pris, using the pris for longer periods of time, or being able to take breaks between pris instead of chain snusing, they all accomplish the same thing.

            That and a lot of people using snus are former smokers as was shown in recent research and that young guys using it probably think of the regular strength as "pussy" or justify it that way so they're not cheap for buying thunder frosted instead of ettan similar to grizz dippers calling skoal weak which is true, grizzly is by my guess a mix of top leaf, stems, and high amounts of baking soda and ammonia which is why it's so strong, while being the longest cut dip I can think of.

              I think you would save money Eric. When my stockpile runs down which won't be for about a year I think that I'm going to move to more sterks. I notice that for the most part I am able to keep the portion in longer and like JT said I take longer breaks between snuses so I will in fact use less. I imagine the same to be true with a los. The problem with los is that my prilla size tends to grow over time where the portion is set for me so there's no discipline needed. Same amount of portions for the same amount of money but the can lasts longer. Yeah, you will save money but beware of Mr. Brownstone...I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do so the little got more and more. Happens w/ nicotine...

                My prillas are about the same size regardless if it is sterk or not.

                  If I really wanted to save money, I would only buy Odens Los. Not only is a tiny pinch sufficient, it also tastes disgusting and is difficult to use in polite company. This means that I would only use it to satisfy my nicotine cravings. In fact, when that was the only can I had left it lasted for a whole week, and if I'm snusing General White I can easily go through a whole can in a single day.

                    Ha ha same here I thought odens original was putrid. I couldn't finish the can when it was the only loose I had and this was before all the es stuff it wasn't even worth buzz.

                      Eric it makes sense to me and I know LOS goes a lot farther as lately I've been making my own snus portions with LOS.

                          I have to say that mine are typically the same too. However I think with a sterk I have the option of making a smaller one to be discreet and it atleast being meaningful. Meanwhile with regulars I have the tendency when feeling saucy with cravings to make a Gojira of a Prilla.

                            I tend to make huge prillas myself lol, in my mind I keep saying 1 gram 1 gram but it ends up being 2 probably.. I love makin a big one sit back watch a good movie or show and relax. On my next order though I'm going to do more los for home and portions for work.

                              My prillas are between 1.5 and 3 grams always, depending on how much I want. 3-4g prillas of ekstra sterk are fun. And I use los at work and home.
