    I can't use Oden's Extreme hardly at all. I have to be very careful of pris size, and sometimes even then it's too much. Other than one-offs I've gotten via trade, I use regular snus exclusively... Oh, I also like Jakobsson's mint, but I don't use it a lot. I'd prefer if it were regular strength.

      I agree. I really like Olde Viking because of the slow release.

        I've had pretty crazy experiences with extra strong portions. I don't feel the nicotine that much since my tolerance is messed up, which leads to me chaining what ever snus tastes good. Doing this however has lead to having a few close to OD episodes...

        22 is way to much to be snusing all day for me. A portion here and there, sure. But not an entire day... in that case, you have to space the portions out during the day.

          It's overboard and the one I tried (Extreme Kanal stuff) didn't taste good to me anyway.

            I'm using 10 Extreme a day and don't find it overkill.

            I have difficulty using Thunder Frosted 16mg all day as it throws all the nic at you at once - Extreme does not. I used 12mg TF instead.

                I say I use 10, but I think it's less. I've been up since 05:00 and used 1 so far - it's 09:30 now.

                If you like snus in your gob all the time, you probably won't want to do that with Extreme. If you're like me and like a good hit, and a good respite followed by a good hit - Extreme is perfect. I don't chain snus Extreme whereas 8mg snus I have to chain snus and it's not as enjoyable or satisfying.

                  I used Extreme only from when it came out in spring to mid-September, up to 7 portions per day. Now that I've got lot of different stuff, I like mixing my daily selection, but as Frosted said, with regulars its goddamn hard not to chainsnus. I now usually pop in a regular in the morning, during the day 3-4 Extremes and in the evening a pinch of lös or some random portion.

                    Took the words out of my mouth

                    I normally chain Jakobbson's classic and wintergreen (my favorites) but recently started chaining Odens Extreme portion as I love the taste and plumpness. I am already addicted to nicotine, which is why I use snus instead of smoking. As long as I can afford snus, I will continue to enjoy and feed my addiction. If I can't afford it anymore, it wouldn't matter if I was addicted to 22mg or 8mg, I would still miss it.

                      I can use 8mg thinking in the back of my mind "what if I can't get snus anymore? What if I have to give up. If I'm on the 8mg it'll be easier to give up if I have to".......so I'll get a lot less enjoyment and probably never give up anyway - OR - I can enjoy strong tobacco regardless of what MIGHT happen. Now this little thought process is what I feel some people on the forum are thinking.

                      Now - if it's not that and If nicotine is harmless as so many people on the forum say ........what's the problem?

                      Or, Is it really too strong for you all? I don't want to underplay the 'power of Extreme', yes it's strong, but it really is not as strong as some people here are making it out to be.

                      The taste is amazing - I'm still not getting the pepper though

                        I use between 4-6 portions a day...usually while working. It's common for me to leave a portion in for 2 hours. My last order was a 10 cans of Skruf Extra Stark portions and Jacobsson's Flader portions, and what I use during the day all depends on what flavor I want...I don't notice a difference in the "nic hit" between the extra strong and normal strength.

                          Kicks my blood pressure up too high. I am right on the line for needing medication. So for me, I don't want to take blood pressure medication just so I can snus higher nic levels. Just like I don't want to take cholesterol meds so I can eat whatever I want. (Unlike so of my friends approach to that and insulin)

                          More power to those who like it though. I am glad the products you like are available. They just hurt me!

                            I always remove my portion about 1/2 hr before my doctor visit. My BP is always elevated. I decided this last time I wanted to see what it is with the snus in. They took it twice (and I thought, oh god, must be really high) and they said, hmm, 122/79, great work. Hilarious, with the portion in it was the lowest level it has been in years.

                            Doc said keep doing what your doing... so starks it is.

                              If Odens Extreme, or Thunder Frosted, or Odens ES Lakrits are all I've got, I still do about a can a day, either portions or lös.
