Skruf stark and it's supposed nicotine

[theillustriousHeather]

I was looking for a kick, my husband tells me to try skruf stark.. it has the 2nd most nicotine in the snus world, and should give me what I'm looking for.

It did not.

And while it was very good, I really thought that it would have had a nice kick to it. Is there anything out there in the portion department that gives a nice kick??
I think my body just consumes nicotine, and I'm doomed to have to smoke a cigarette to get any kind of kick. Or maybe I have to use 2 portions at once. I have even smoked while snusing, and had no ill effects.

Damn, I just wanted a little jump.

Get some of the stark Los and pack up a nice big pris. That will jump start ya

[theillustriousHeather]

I just can't get into the los.. the idea of it in my teeth just bothers me enough to not want to try it. Right now I have 2 portions in, and it's doing the job pretty well.
Maybe I will get the husband to show me what's up with the los, just for the kick.. we'll see.

You are a nicotine fiend! I think the skruf is a good balance and have only tried a few stark brands.

N&J: Very good and unique taste. One of a kind with a good nic kick. I wish they still made los.

Onyx: It's good but I was surprised at the nic content so I don't think that will help.

Offroad Strong: Good nicotine level but too chemical tasting.

Give it time, your desire for high levels of nicotine will fade.

Buy mocca + tobacco. Use two at a time. More nicotine, small portions. So you will get your fix without the fat lip.


I love me some skruf stark. Loose and portion. Maybe you got a bad can?

How long do you leave it in for?

She definitely had that bad boy in there for the whole movie we were watching. She and I used to smoke like chimneys though. We're 24 and probably had the lungs of 80 year olds...once we got rid of a couple cats she'd had and afterward her apartment got infested with fleas, so we ran from the apartment and jumped in my car. Once we were in the car, we noticed we were covered in them, and we tried killing them by rolling all the windows up, switching to recirculate, and smoking about 8 cigs apiece.

Why are we still alive?

We were so crazy back then...but hey, that's what being young is about, isn't it?

I smoked about 15-20 filterless American Spirits a day (prolly the nicotine equivalent of 40-50 regular filtered cigarettes), and Nic and Johnny does the trick for me. Of course, the best is Skruf Stark Los. You get WAY more nicotine with loose because you can really load up the lip.

I think the inveterate die-hard nic addict needs some los in there. At least in mornings/after meals.

pretty soon after writing this, I popped 2 mocca portions in.. it did the trick as far as a little nicotine kick, and it stayed with me for a while. I think I kept them in for about an hour and a half, went outside to let the dogs run, and still wanted a cigarette. It's not that I crave so much nicotine, it's just that when I have a steady lower supply, it feels like I'm not really getting any. Maybe I'm just getting used to a constant supply instead of having the spike and fall that comes with smoking. Thanks for the input though. One thing I think I can be grateful for is the fact that I doubt I'll ever get a headache from having to much nicotine

Keep in mind too, that you may just like cigarettes. I do, and I still smoke on occasion. Snus isn't a substitue, but it keeps me from tearing peoples heads off due to lack of nicotine. I'm at the point now where I average 1 cigarette per day(RYO) when I have tobacco, and I wait a week or more when I run out before I buy more. I'm cool with that, and I've broken myself of the physical action of smoking. Now I just smoke when I want a cigarette, and not out of compulsion for something to do.

Nasal snuff is an option also, maybe for in house use. Snuff boogers aren't too sexy :^P I'm sure you could find a snuff you enjoy. I have a crap load in front of me now, and several I think would be appealing for women. My buddy from work went to a friend of his house, and everybody, male and female was digging the Gawith Apricot. It has a beefy menthol kick, and mellows to a vague fruity flavor. So far it's my goto snuff.

Right after smoking a cigarette, i loaded a skruf stark portion, this resulted in nicotine overdose. Cold sweats, totally uncomfortable. It doesn't get much stronger than skruf stark

theillustriousHeather, just give it time. And don't worry about smoking. kepp smoking as long as you want. The snus will slowly take over and do it's thing no matter what you do.

When I first started snus, I used nothing but offroad strong and still smoked here and there. After about 6 weeks, I was no longer buying cigarettes. Now 19 months later, I have one or two each month when I am hanging with someone who smokes. I still enjoy the physicality of smoking. But now I only smoke when I wasnt one, not when I need one.

Over time, your need for stronger snus will disdipate. Now, I make use of strong only when I just want that little bit extra. Once or twice a day usually

General Extra Sterk will be available in Norway soon (15mg nicotine vs. 11mg nicotine stark portions). Maybe that will do the trick?

smoking cigs

i found it hard at first to stay away from smoking when i first started to use snus. still had that urge to always smoke when i woke up and after i ate. everytime i started to feel that way i just kept throwing in a portion then moved to loose. i still smoke a cig sometimes when i wake up. its very rare that i do now days. i can sit around my wife while she smokes all day long and not ever go near her pack of newports if i smoke one i can only handle like a few hits and im done, the taste kinda repulses me now. you just got to stick it out over a week or 2 you'll find yourself staying further away from smoking from a few a day or more to basically none at all. ill use a stark or extra sterk to get my nicotine craving if im having one really bad, i love to use loose though i almost feel like giving away my rolls of portions just cuz. as someone said before loose seems to deliver the nicotine a lil better with the eception of general extra sterk it seems to give you a nicotine buzz even in a portion lol. skruf stark loose gave me the first nicotine buzz ever off snus before.

[hoss]

Theres always Odens 17mg portions. I wasn't crazy about the taste, but they for sure had a punch.

It's odd that 7 months ago we were talking about 13mg being the second highest nic amount. Now we have Oden's, Thunders, General Extra....
