I was reading up on wise and noticed it was listed on northerrer as a strong portion but it only has 6 mg of nicotine while onyx and others have 11 mg.

How is that possible. Also it is listed as purified snus with hardly any to no TSNAs. Does it live up to the hype and is it really s strong portion with only 6 mg of nic.

Also can it advertise itself as Nitrosamine Free? or is that jsut a marketing scheme.

Wise are minis, so 6mg is a lot for the small size. I think the company that makes Wise is trying to break into the pharmaceutical nicotine market without having to get the regulatory approval pharmaceutical companies have to go through. I'm personally against the product because it's so far removed from a traditional snus. It seems to have a lot of fans on the board though, so you may very well like it.

An enigma in a paper pouch.

The wise didn't seem to have much nicotine at all but I was used to stronger brands when I tried it. Also had no flavor. Not snus IMO.

Nah id rather not try something such as that.

Just weird stuff IMO. Ill stick to more traditional means of tobacco.

Snus is one thing. Purified snus suggests they rinsed out all impurities along with natural flavor, reconstituted what was left and added flavor and nicotine. Like how we add fortification to white flour beacause the processing has removed all natural vitamins and minerals. By the time your done is it still fair to call it, refer to the product, by what the base element began as?

Tobacco based product maybe, not snus.

To each his own.

You have to give wise it due! I has killer nicotine absorption qualities. A single wise 6mg will put more Nicotine in you system (ASAP) than a NJ or any stark brand. It is highly addicitive and that is why I can do without. I do wise 3 to 1 to other snus. I also do NJ, Grov, The general, Rape, and an assortment of snus Los and portions. But once you get hooked on Wise you cant quit it. I has bakline soda and what have you to enhance the nicotine asortion unmatched by other products.

You (I myself) can get into flavor, but its is the nicotine levels it gives off that will make yuor head spin. if You don't know this you havent done much of it. But absolutely not traditional!

I am talking about the 6mg strength only.

It is an interesting beast, I will say that. Useful when I need a nic hit now, I probably use 2 -3 a week at best. Stuff will last forever it seems, so I can keep it around for when I need it

Ah, I see. So judging by what has been said about the "Wise-kick" it's not about the nic inside the pouch, it's about how much of the nic in the pouch gets absorbed and the Wise pouches seem to excel at that.

Reminds me somewhat of the "light" cigs people supposedly inhale deeper and hold longer than normal cigs.
