What is the difference? (Utra dry minis)

[Frankie Reloaded]

I am trying to understand these minis. I use them for special occasions (like work w/people or when my stomach ulcer is acting again), and when refilling the stock I came against a question that has been nagging me for some time again:

What is the difference between

- ART (Snusbruket)
- Northerner (Råå Snus Bolag AB)
- DOS (Snusbruket)
- White Bite (Swedish American Scientific)
- Stockholm Ice (Swedish American Scientific) ?

The first two taste exactly the same to me, even though they are made by different companies.

White Bite and Stockholm Ice have no tobacco in them, they are nicotine gels in pouches (and bloody disgusting to boot!). They are nicotine pouches and after use leave you craving tobacco like there is no tomorrow! Taste is synthetic sweet nastiness!

I'm pretty sure these are all made or licensed by the same company. They all come in the same container and have no tobacco in them.

In the past they have also been called Wise, Oomph and Wine & Dine ... it's been rebranded more times than Madonna!

Skell thank you for taking away any interest I had in those!!! They are two of maybe six that I have wanted to try, but are only at Northerner, so I have not been moved to gamble on a order.

No probs mate, best avoided IMO, they are not good!

On the other hand I have to say that the Snusbruket products are very handy because they need no refrigeration, have a long-long shelf life and are a real lifesaver to me when my stomach ulcer hurts (because normal snus can be a really painful experience at those times). I will probably avoid those gel ones, though. Funny, they are much more expensive than the "real" ones

these ultra dry minis / purified have less of the alkaloids present in tobacco... much like medical nicotine which you find in the patches etc... personally, i have used them and feel a little empty on them... so now i prefer proper Swedish snus you know tobacco rather than nicotine.
