Snus/Nicotine Tolerance

[mwood72]

Has anyone experienced developing a tolerance to Snus/Nicotine?

I've kind of been gradually stepping up how strong a Snus I use to give me a good buzz. Went from mini whites to mini originals then onto large whites, large originals, large original N&Js and recently onto Skruf Stark. The Skruk Stark gave me a great buzz for about a week but now it isn't blowing my mind as it used to and there isn't anything stronger to try I wonder whether it would be worth experimenting with loose? Possibly that gives a different experience? Skruf Stark loose maybe?

A stark Los would cirtainly do the job if it's the head rush your after (since you can control the pris size and it's strong to start with).

I'm affraid you will have to go to crack coccain after that. :twisted:

Oddly enough, my experience went the opposite direction.

I was using near 2/3-3/4 a can of los a day, and needed to to feel normal. Then, what seemed like overnight, I trie using my usual amounts of snus and it practically made me miserable. Tired, no energy, etc.

Now I use a fraction of what I was using and feel just the same. It is almost as if my body just said "DUDE! Quit it with the mass quantities of nicotine!"

I have developed such a high tol to nic because of smoking and other tobacco over the years I have not has a buzz from snus ever even with a huge pris of skruf in. So I will say yes you will build a nic tol as you use it longer and in higher amounts

Thanks for your thoughts. I think Skruf Stark loose is next on my list. Think I'll hold off from the crack cocaine for a bit and cut back on the Snus and see if that helps :-D

I'm not sure if I have a tolerance, but I try to use stark portions sparingly so I don't get one... I'm pretty much an all day snuser, and I change portions when they lose flavor...

My only problem is that while I do los all day, I find myself popping portions in my sleep. Like sometimes 3 throughout the time I'm sleeping.

I know where you can get some outstanding crack.

Only noobs get nic buzzes! Once you're addicted, the "buzz" will eventually diminish. Like I've said before, your brain will adapt to nicotine and will not be affected like it used to; this will make you require a certain dose of nicotine per day, or you will experience withdrawal symptoms!

I found myself at work today with a Stonewall in my bottom lip, a Wise citrus/menthol in the top left, and a Taboca portion in the top right. I think it's time to move to sterk exclusively! But I have smokeless ADD, I like variety. I'm currently upper-lipping Longhorn longcut, made by Pinkerton, a SM NA company. it's only $2.00 a can here and to me tastes comparable to RedMan or Grizzly which is a bit more expensive. Funny and kind of OT, but before I started snus I looked down on American dips as "white trash", but now that I realized that upperlip=no spit with the stuff, just like snus, I've been trying different kinds. At a local smokeshop the Timber Wolf pouches, "wolf packs" are only .99c a can, the mint is good, but the w.green has a gross aftertaste and fouls my breath.

What about that General Extra Stark someone put on here.

Isnt it like 15 mgs of Nic?

[mwood72]

Ah yes, I recall that.

I think it's only available in Norway at the moment though isn't it? - Update - Checked with Buysnus and they hope to start selling this in November.

Funny. I wonder whether alcohol can reduce the effects of Nicotine? I had quite a few beers Friday and Saturday night and the Skruf Stark hardly touched me the following days but not having drank anything yesterday today my 1st Skruf Stark of the day hit me like a sledgehammer

AWESOME! I can't wait!

Could u imagine if Skruf tried to one up it to retain the heavy weight title.

Skruf Crack - one portion and u r hooked. and was something like 20 mgs a portion.

Would come with a warning label, " This Snus is toxic and deadly, any attempt to double p ortion will result in painful death by respiratory and cardiac failure. Those of you who servive a portion win a free roll."

I mean where will this end?

Im sure when General Extra Stark is available then someone will try to one up them going to maybe 16 then youll hit the .5 increments, i mean their has to be a ceiling somewhere without making you heart explode.
