Snus/Nicotine Tolerance

[moneymanmike]

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 night of drinking and a tin of this may end bad for me lol

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

Cool news about the Extra Stark, although I'll definitely switch to Skruf Crack (and then Skruf Crack Stark when that eventually comes out).

Yeah, I think drinking reduces the effect, or at least blends it a little. Sort of like being able to go through a pack of smokes during a night of heavy drinking.

I'm curious to know just how much nicotine you can get in snus... There has to be a limit to the nicotine content... Unless they artificially add nicotine similar to alcohol in fortified "wine"...

I guess the 1st thing would be to change the part of the tobacco leaf they use to that which has more nicotine (as I think Skruf do) and then crank the burn up, up and up to increase the nicotine absorption :O

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 tried 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 am not sure but I think I am entering nicotine overload! I love the taste of Skruf stark, but I wish they made a Skruf stark mini as I like to use snus most of the day.

I have ordered Wise citrus/menthol and Wine & Chef 6 mg. but may have to go down further as I am experiencing headaches.

Too bad because I really like the portions that have 11mg nicotine, and have many in the freezer.

How are the Tre Ankare mini portins?

Genuine, Ditto on the Scruf Stark. Until they get the mini memo, though, try Mocca+ tabac flavor. 6 mg Vit N each. Similar to Scr Stark flavor. Post-AM all day use (alternate with Mocca+ Euch) heads off the craves w/o headaches

one surefire way is to quit snus entirely and do no other kind of nic for 2 weeks or so, the first pris will get you high like a mother-f'er.

Personally I can't hold out that long, hence I keep a steady supply flowing.

I read at SM's site that they did a study and found that when they decreased the nicotine content of the snus that some snusers were using, their use pattern stayed the same but their nicotine intake decreased proportionally, showing that users didn't compensate for lower nicotine levels.

It makes me wonder because I've found myself liking to do some portions recently (I had to try some General Sterk and I picked up some more LD Black) and when I do them, I don't snus more often to make up for the decreased nicotine. I mean, I eventually throw in a pris of los and remember why I like los so much better, but still... interesting.
