Upper lip vs. lower lip... is there really a difference?

[sasquatch]

I used to dip for a while with American Skoal Wintergreen, after I quit smoking. Always used it in my lower lip.
Snusing is supposed to be done in the upper lip.
Is there a good reason for this, as far as taste or absorption is concerned? Or is it just preference.

(BTW, I just found this site and am loving it! A great snus resource!)

sasquatch - Snus tends to be used in the upper lip as it produces less saliva that way and doesn't generally require spitting.

I use portion snus, and sometimes for shits and grins throw a portion in the bottom lip. It does make me salivate more. However, the end result is still the same, a nice flow of nicotine.

Just my .02

It's also more discreet to use the upper lip.

However, I use the lower when I'm on the ball field, or just shitting about.

It takes a shorter amount of time for the portion to become saturated and therefore run sooner, but it's no big deal. The juice created by snus is not some toxic sludge like skoal, or my old favorite, grizzly. It's actually enjoyable in the right context/amount.

I use snus portions in the bottom lip quite a bit. Not really a big deal. I'm using Grizzly straight right now, been aon an american dip kick for the past week or so but I switch off with snus regularly
