How much Snus at one time is too much?

[snusoff]

When I smoked, I used to smoke about a pack every two days. I quit back in 2000, cold turkey. I just hated the idea of filling my already problematic lungs with smoke. About 2 years ago my dad introduced me to swedish snus and I was hooked. The problem is that I like high doses. I started on General Wintergreen White Portions and rather quickly took up using Thunder. At first one Thunder portion was strong enough. Eventually I didn't feel anything and moved up to two Thunders at once.

Cut to now... I've been using 3 Thunders at a time. Not the mini-potions, mind you.

I know you can build up a tolerance to nicotine, but I just don't seem to be getting the buzz anymore. So I've started cutting down to 2 General Wintergreens again.

Am I just too addicted to the buzz and it will just keep taking more and more at a time to get there? Will cutting down the amount at a time slowly weaken the resistance I seem to be having to the nicotine. Lately I've been craving a smoke just for the quick buzz, but I really don't want to go back down that path.

Hmm, well i would try Skruf Stark as it packs a punch. But i would definitely not recommend doing more than one at a time.

I'm going to repost this from Chad as I agree...

This is a post I've wanted to write for a long time.

I see noob's all the time and sometimes even longer term users and especially dip people that occasionally snus bitching about this, or complaining.

I can't feel a buzz...
There's no buzz.....
It's not strong enough...
Blah blah blah....

Quit chasing the buzz.

The buzz is the same as you would experience with the up and down and craving phase that people would experience with cigarettes. It's one of the reasons I escaped cigarettes.

Sometimes lack of a "buzz" means you've killed your tolerance.

Fact of the matter is, snus delivers nicotine in a more consistent way into your blood.

If you're constantly chasing a buzz or attempting to get ****ed up on nicotine you will never truly enjoy snus.

Use only sterks? Probably killed your tolerance.

Simply put, relax.

Sorry for the rant, I just get tired of seeing people complaining about not feeling a buzz with every portion they use.

I agree with the repost from Chad. I got a buzz from nicotine when i first started smoking years and years ago, quit the fags and started snus, had that buzz back for about three days and that was it ..... gone ..... What's a nicotine buzz ? I can't remember it's been so long, i just feel sick now if i have too much snus nicotine

^Totally agree. I don't get it at all.

My advice would be to try not chain snusing. That way you're letting the nicotine level in your body get lower and so you should feel it more when you do use a snus. There are times when I chain snus, but a lot of times during the day I'll go an hour or sometimes two without a snus in. Of course I'm often using snuff, and so can stretch out my snus usage.

Three Thunder's at the same time? Holy shit man, haha. That might not be a good thing to do in the long run. Don't chase the dragon; use what tastes good, and use preferably lower nicotine options (regulars). One Thunder is more than enough for me. If I had three I would be trippin'. Haha.

Yeah! I would agree Three Thunder's at the same time... Damn Man! Forget chasing the dragon... That dragon be dead. Haha.... If I do back to back with thunder I feel nauseous..... 3 at one time I would be pucking and a trippin'.... And this coming from a mainly sterk user.

I remember somebody from Northerner posting he was using 4-5 Thunder ES at a time. Seems like a lot to me and I use a lot of snus. Everybody is different and there are no rules about it. I hope you find what works for you.

If you're craving the quick hit of a cigg, I would suggest some strong nasal snuff.

Good Luck!

Probably 2 ES at most is tolerable (by some people)

5 portions at one given time is useless, but it may happen in people that have build a very high tolerance to nicotine -

Be careful with 5 Extra Sterks though they could bring you in hospital (lol)

I saw a video of Darcy from Mudjug who threw in five Odens Extra Stark Licorice portions in one video, and I think four General Ekstra Sterk portions in another. He also said something about throwing in a couple of General Ekstra Sterks and slamming some coffee before he hits the gym. Hahaha. So it's not... uncommon (?) to use more portions at the same time. For me though as I said, one is more than enough. If I were to drink lots of coffee and do several ES right before hitting the gym, I would worry about my heart exploding, lol.

I purposely keep my tolerance low by just using regular portions and spacing them out a bit. I've tried a few extreme portions and they actually just put me to sleep.

Everyone is different, but I'm not so sure that that much nicotine is a good thing as others have said.

nicotine is good and bad -

however too much nicotine is bad for your blood circulation and heart, other than that I'm not really sure how it could affect your health....
