SnusX tips

[gax1985]

Hello !
I ordered the SnusX Portion bucket, and I was thinking about possible mixes . Could you use extracts like vanilla extract? how about booze ( Jagermeister , Grand Marnier , Southern Comfort etc ) ? also , can you make strong portions by using VG nicotine juice ( I used to make my own liquid for e-cigs) ? Thanks!

Definitely can use extracts and booze

I wouldn't add any pharmaceutical nicotine to snus as it could be quite dangerous. You are talking about a poison that has an LD50 (lethal dose in 50% of subjects) of about 40-60 mg in humans. Rather, play with the ph by adding some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your flavoring. The higher ph results in more free nicotine and aids in absorption. A little NaHCO3 goes a long way though.

good luck mixing your flavoring and baking soda. Be gentle with both. It doesn't take much to get the desired effect. If I remember right when I was flavoring a few pounds of los I only needed about 2 or 3 drops of flavoring per 50 grams of tobacco. My advice is to mix small quanities of tobacco at a time. If you make it too strong then you can dilute it with more tobacco/portions. If its too weak then add more flavoring. Pay attention to how much you use.

Since the SnusX bucket id popular and those of us in the USA cannot get it anymore I will just post this here. I have one available. The portions have been vaccumn sealed and frozen since delivery and I have about 5 flavors. Wintergreen, coffee, vanilla and a couple of others. If anybody is interrested let me know. thanks

Sounds like an experiment about to go very wrong to me! Why add more PH to a product that has a significant amount all ready?

I like stronger portions in the morning and after meals

I doubt that the ph adjustment is going to buy you much increase in the nicotine at all! Hell sprinkle one with salt and see first! Baking soda is nasty, I know this from my own first hand screwups with snuff! Use on one pouch at a time would be my advice!

Don't get me wrong! I am trying to help. I spent some considerable time learning this the hard way! I just don't want to see a whole bucket ruined! Experiment on ten pouch or smaller batches! Salt will be a better substitute for Baking soda. The nicotine uptake tapers fast , there is a point of no return! Real salty snus is somewhat overwhelming too!

Better off with a double barrel snus in the AM! Or a morning and meal snuff!

Thank you so much for your help ! my original intention was to try both baking soda and salt on small batches of 24 potions and see how they go ! I wont use too much , as I had learned the hard way the disasterous effects of too-much-baking soda from baking double decker sounds good too !
