Building tolerance to Extra Starks

[Monkey]

I cut extra sterk portions in half and make sure to measure extra sterk los so I don't up my usage. I really like the flavor of some of the thunder products and a can of los I opened last week isn't even half gone. Which is good for the wallet.

I.do not want to up my tolerance and Jaks strong portions bother me if I chain them. If I need an extra shot of nic I hit up some snuff.

After years of dipping Grizzly and Copenhagen I found that when I switched to snus the regular portions just weren't doing it for me. I now use General ES los and portions, as well as Jacobbsons WG. I have some Thunder but I'm not that big of a fan of it. The positive to using ES snus is that I use much less of it. I have one prilla of General ES in the morning, two portions at work and another prilla of General ES before bed. So all in all I only have 4 portions/prillas per day. To answer the original question I guess HUGE pinches of dip did it for me.

I've been snusing for almost one year now and I still can't tolerate extra sterks .... I can have as much as 20 portions or half a can of normal loose snus a day but extra starks are just too strong....

sometimes I even feel sick from them....

How much did it take to build tolerance for you guys using strong portions...

I love the flavor and would have them daily, lol

GIRL...LMAO, j/k dude...when you say that you "can't tolerate them" what are you talking about? Do you get dizzy, nauseated or what? I smoked quite a bit before jumping onto snus, and found that regular portions just didn't cut it for me, so I stepped up to a few Ekstra Sterk portions/prillas a day. At one point I was using ONLY ES portions, but I've backed off a bit and now use only 3-4 ES a day...well, most days, lol.

If you just work in a few a day on a full stomach, you should be able to tolerate them. Also, I would assume body weight and metabolism play a part in this too. I weigh about 215-220lbs 6'1" and the only time I get "ill feeling" with nicotine is when I drink too much coffee and use too much snus on an empty stomach. Good luck buddy ;-)

[WickedKitchen]

good point about the empty stomach.

I've had a lot of empty stomachs lately...trying to get to RickCharles weight. I have found that a sterk and a big mug of coffee work wonders for quelling hunger.

Why do you want to build a tolerance to them if your body clearly doesn't need that much nicotine?

It's not a competition. Just use what works for you. Try regular sterks instead, if you want to use less portions a day.

Regular sterks are just right for me - don't think i need/want to go any stronger.

for the flavor,

I find extra starks the most tasteful.....

I can tolerate the ES Loose though ... if I haven't mentioned it...

I have an issue with portions only :^)

Each to their own I guess, but if something repeatedly made me dizzy and nauseous I'd probably take the hint.

[precious007]

yeah... you're right

I Don't have them very often....
