I want my Nic buzz back

[rollinred]

This isnt so much a good post or a question at all, I just have to say that I LOVE nic buzzes, but I havnt had one in 5 years from being addicted to nicotine. When I switched from cigarettes to dip, I did get a couple buzzes but now I dont get any buzz at all unless I dont use any for at least a day. And there is no way I can go that long without my snus.

Of course if I smoke a cigarette when drinking I get the 10 second initial buzz because of the quick hit of nic, but it isnt nearly as powerful as an oral tobacco buzz. Dip is by far the best nic buzz I have ever had. Even though I smoked for a couple years, I decided to quit with the help of dip, and when I did that first dip was the most amazing experience I had in a long time. 30 minutes of bliss, followed by hours of great relaxation. Now...I can go 4 hours with nothing. And still dont get even the slightest buzz.

Ah well, at least I found snus and now get great flavor.

Part of the reason cigarettes give people nic buzzes is due to oxygen depletion from the smoke.

My suggestion would be to go all night without snus, wake up and drink a good amount of caffeine (stimulates the sensitivity to nicotine), then hillbilly a large pinch of a strong snus. Of course, I don't know the variables unique to your situation, but it could work.

That pretty much explains my regime. Substitute "caffeine" with "32 oz Monster Energy Drink" and "hillbilly" with "prilla" and that's my morning! :shock: Good thing I work about a mile from home or, I'd wreck the truck!!! :lol: :lol:

I did two regular portions one time and my head started spinning... If you have a really high tolerance there's no law against jamming 4 or 5 in there at once!

[mercvrivs]

Anybody know about the approximate amount of nicotine (I know it varies based on person and circumstantial variables) absorbed into the bloodstream per gram?

well in my last order of snus I got two cans of skruf stark, which I dont like because of the sweet flavor, but I was determined to get a nic buzz, small or large, so right now I have four, thats right, four prismaster given prises in at one time. Two top lip, two bottom. I just want to feel it one more time. I am determined. So we will see in a couple of minutes if this works. I am stopping the message right here to sit and relax, and let this stuff work, if it does.

15 minutes later... not much, if anything. And I waited a couple hours in between. I wont stop snusing, but everyone talks about nic buzzing, and I just get a little jealous. I love that feeling, best feeling I have ever had. But I just dont get it anymore. I am thining about not snusing from the moment I wake until I get home one day, but the flavor is to good to stop. I guess I will have to make a choice, nic buzz or great snus flavor.

Keep in mind that my normal snus use is about 3/4 can of los a day. From what I understand that is above the average snus use per day than most people. And when I dipped it was about a can a day, somtimes more, sometimes less.

I think I am just screwed in the nic buzz department.

You are not screwed yet. Even tho skruf stark is the "strongest" in nicotine just try others. I would dip over a can a day didn't get the best of buzzes. Same with snus, you just have to find a brand with the correct ph balance for your body. For some reason i can get a good buzz going in the morning with a fat pris of general and an extra large cup of black coffee. Skruf stark just gave me head aches if i took to much no buzz. You could try adding salt. or use some nasal snuff while snusing for the extra kick

I find the buzz to be better from the Skruf Stark portions rather than the loose. Maybe due to higher PH and more surface area being exposed. I'm over the nic buzz thing now and don't really miss it.

[MN_Snuser]

I don't get the buzz anymore except the first portion in the morning. That said, while the buzz is nice, the "satisfaction/relaxed" feeling I still get with every portion is just as nice, if not better. This is true especially during working hours. I just want the satisfaction/relaxed feeling, not the space cadet feeling of a nic buzz at work. If that makes any sense.

I was kinda feeling the same way...then I started snuffing with a pris or portion in! Toque's menthol with make you go "Ohhh GOD!" when you snuff a pinch in conjunction with your favorite snus. i don't know what their secret is, and I'm not just saying this because Roderick from Toque posts here, but it's really awesome stuff, I'm 6'4" and 345 lbs. and I get a wicked buzz from snuff.

[chainsnuser]

As a smoker, I got a kick maybe once in a year. One of the secrets that made me a snuser is, that - as a newbie - I got real nicotine-kicks very often from snus, up to a point that was frightening and made me spit out some prillas and portions.

But after some time the kicks are just over, it's certainly a matter of adaption and it's seems to be pretty normal, but I'm really also missing these heavy nicotine-intoxications.

My only tip is to try big prillas of loose snus. For me, the only brand that still partly works to give me not just a relaxed feeling but some kind of a kick, is Ettan Lös, which is a medium-strength-brand, but somehow kicks more than anything else. It's a very personal thing, I guess.

Cheers!

Unfortunately that's the whole part of addiction. At first, a drug will make you feel very good, but once you become addicted or get accustomed to the dosage your body will not get the same sensation, since your brain has adapted to the drug. Think about it... a heroin addict doesn't use for the high, they use to relieve heroin withdrawal. It's the same thing with tobacco; once you get used to it, there is no way to get a "buzz" like you did your first initial times.

I cannot speak from experience but snuffing at the onset of a pris would make sense. Its sometimes not how much nicotine you get but how fast it gets into the blood stream. (to get that initial "buzz") Nasally is much faster. Its why I.V. drug users are I.V. drug users. The drug hit is instant. Not gradual. Again, i'm not speaking from experience (nor condoning overdosing on nicotine or I.V. drug use) but as a medic I see it all the time. Caffeine does potentiate nicotine too
