    Vaping vs. Snusing

    I decided to do an experiment and vape exclusively for a few days. Needless to say, I ended up breaking down and buying a tin of snus. Even though it was just a tin of General Wintergreen, it felt way more satisfying than vaping. I was also vaping mostly WTA. I love vaping, but I find that I much prefer snus. If I vape too much, I get headaches. The nic hit from snus is much more mellow.

    I think it all depends on the person. For me I found certain types of snus are more satisfying then vaping (yes I started vaping and am actually glad I did) but I'd much rather vape then have certain types of snus as I never was a huge tobacco guy more so the nicotine involved in it. For example I much prefer a mint that masks the tobacco like General Mint then tasting straight up tobacco but to each their own. With vaping I get to have candy flavors with nicotine and that's right up my alley lol.

      I absolutely think they go extremely well together. For me a more complementary, effective, and just plain enjoyable system for staying off the sticks is hard to imagine.

        I agree. I like them both quite honestly. They both go hand in hand and I feel they both have their place and time. I vape when I'm in a hurry and snus when I have time. When I'm home, it's a free for all lol. Sometimes snus, sometimes e cig.

          However, I came to the conclusion that I can't do just one or the other. That being said, if I had to stick to one or the other, it would definitely be snus.

            I can go without the ecigs... not the snus.

            I strongly agree with Darwin in that they go extremely well together. I've been vaping zero nic ejuice and General regular portions in tandem for awhile. They work well together for me.

              Ecigs address the physical habituation aspects of smoking that any other form of tobacco simply cannot. Snus addresses those ineffable but all too real biochemical aspects that tobacco brings to the table in ways that ecigs have a fair amount of difficulty in accomplishing. Together they represent the safest and most effective double sucker punch to the smoking habit that has yet been devised. Keep calm and vape/snus on.

                I have only been vaping at home and snusing both at home and when I go out. I don't want to be tempted to vape anywhere even though it may be technically safe for everyone I still feel it to be inconsiderate to do it indoors in front of people in public. Just my 2 cents though.

                  I always vape and snus at the same time. For me, snus gives me a real sense of satisfaction, whilst vaping basically just tastes and feels good, but doesn't really have any effect other than that. It's excellent combining the two when you're having a brew or four, to battle any cravings for cigarettes you might get (I don't really get them anymore though).

                    I think the e-cigs sound pretty interesting and I'm glad it's helped lots of people quit cigarettes but I went through hell to get over the habit aspect of smoking and I think they are a little too close to the real thing for me. I even missed the feeling of smoke entering my lungs for awhile after I quit which I imagine you get with vaping. I think I'll just stick to shoving tobacco in my mouth and up my nose

                      I lean to the whole tobbaco experience and prefer snus and snuff together. In fact I still love snuff but part of that is about not doing it very often, like 4 times a day a decent pile per nose. So in between I snus and I vape for the busyness aspect but really don't search for more and more nic, just throat hit. If I had to choose I'd go snus but without snuff it would be lacking...you can snuf snus so...and you can put snuff in a pouch so...guess I'm set if I had to choose

                        IMO, nasal snuff is the "cocaine" of tobacco next to cigarettes. If I need a really quick nic rush, I find myself reaching to the nasal snuff. It has that very quick calming effect, similar to WTA ejuices, that I need when I'm under major stress.

                          I agree.thebestmoments ofmynon smoking careerhavebeen withe retain snuffs done the right way at the right time! And the plus is no bad after ate, and actually a lovely lingering scent that kinda sends me on some of them. Makes me see the trees and the color of sky. Naturally beautiful....until I blow my nose! Ha ha. But it's worth it

                            This! ^^ Vaping is too close to smoking for me, having not smoked for so long the "throat hit" made me cough so much I wondered how I ever started smoking in the first place! It is not in the slightest pleasurable!

                            I am past the wanting to pretend smoke something or take anything into my lungs, it was easy to a point with snuff but snus got me over the hurdle, I have no plans on ever going back to inhaling anything other than the air around me.

                              And I love the throat hit of a good ejuice way better than the throat hit of cigarette. It's fresher, more intense and grab ya. Equate it with the fresh carbonation of a icey cold soda grabbing your throat. Ahhhh! Different strokes
