LOS AND PORTIONS NIC CONTENT

[paulwall9]

FIRST OFF I'M NOT GONNA KEEPS USIN CAPS (ZERO) LOL.
I just thought about this. Okay so extra sterk and sterk portion snus hold about 11-15mg per gram in nic content though only about 2-3mg in absorbable nic sry on spelling. Otoh, los holds about 8-10mg in nic per gram.

So here is the question, when i make a pris with a pris master i know fully loaded the pris is about 1-1.5 grams. I usally have been doin 2 los pris at a time so actually i am using more nic in that than say a general
Extra sterk portion.

So why in the world, except for convience, would any one need to use extra strong portions. Now dont get me wrong I have about 12 cans of general extra right now. But thinking about this made me see that it is far more logical and cheaperto just buy los. Los costs about 35-50 cents less a can and is hypothetically stronger due to the nicotine in a actual tool made pris.

I think ill be buying far more los from now on and tryin skruf strong los which used inexcess could therotically knock u on your ass. And buy cheap ass portions from now on with the exception of general extra because i just like its flavour more than even general onyx. Its strange how different each general taste and now im rambaling so bye. AND THANKS FOR LISTENING ZERO CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW.

:lol: Thank you for staying your caps, good sir.

You've got it. Convenience - tidyness. Snusers aren't all lumberjacks and hockey players any more. We have jobs in offices and professional environments where the discreetness of a portion is really the only way to go. For some, though, I think too that using lös can just be a messy prospect and a learned skill which they feel isn't worth the effort.

Los snus isn't discreet enough for me. At the grocery store I'm currently working for, you will get written up for having smokeless tobacco in your mouth while on the clock. Strong portions are wonderful because they give me a good kick without a mouth full of mud like this:

It is definitely all about being discreet.

Myself? I walk around with a bulging lip of los just about anywhere and it is pretty well hidden by my lumberjack beard (see Zero's comment).

Now there are times where even I do not want to look like I have a lip tumor. At those times, I typically load 2-3 original portions at once which (in comparison to los) is virtually undetectable through my beard.

I could see using an extra-sterk portion to cut my 2-3 down to one. My issue is that the extra-sterk portions seem to be a much faster nic delivery than even multiple original portions.

I do not like that nicotine jackhammer. I prefer a slow/steady ride that I get from los or multiple originals.

Other people love that nicotine head-spin.

i understand the concept makes sense to me, however im getting lost on the "mm" aka Millimeter aka one thousandth of a meter (thats a distance unit). did you mean "mg" milligram?

When feel ballsy enough i might try los, btw could i rip open a portion or two of N&J and make a pris from it? just to try?

You can try...

By other's and my own experience it's not fun.

Usually snus inside portions is much dryer than snus in a can of loose snus. It also packs much more bang for the buck as far as nicotine goes. If you were to tear open a couple portions you would have one hell of a time getting what's inside to stick together like loose snus. Adding a drop of water gets you in the right direction, but doesn't measure up quite right.

If you do manage to get it in your lip it won't hold together the same and will mudslide. It will burn more than loose and give you a nic rush like crazy.

So yeah, you "could" do it, but I would recommend just getting a can of General loose and try. Ripped opened portions wouldn't compare fairly to genuine loose snus.

Yigs i edited the post for you sry bout that. Also yes u could open some portions and make a pris but it would waste at least three well for me and considering the price you pay for portions thats totally up to you.

On a brighter note if u do buy a can of los youll notice that the tobacco in some portions is of higher quality or cut than los. I know in general sterk onyx and extra sterk they use more actual leaves and less stem which seems to be in los. Either way u cant go wrong withlos after about a can youll have a system down and be great at using it. I find it less nasty than american dip, though u might get mud mouth a few times you dont have to freak about swallowing the tobacco as much because it is a regulated food product so if your used to the spit than the actual tobacco wont hurt. NOW IM NOT TELLING U TO EAT THE TOBACCO but if u do swallow some it does not upset the stomach as much.

Goodluck tryin los.

I once took about 35 portions of triumph (a white portion) and emptied all of them into the can with about 1/2 a teaspoon of spring water. I put the lid back on the can, shook it like it owed me money and let it sit in the fridge for a few days for the water to distribute evenly.

After that, I was able to load it up in my icetool and use it as a los w/ no issues.

The mention of portion vs los is also the main thing to consider. Portion snus is typically much finer ground and far less moisture, so even after re-hydrating it like I mentioned above, you will want to take caution with how much you pack in your lip. Too much will blow smoke out of your ears when that nicotine kicks in.

The cartoon bubble I got from this goes like this:

Scene 1:

A crazed wild haired man is ripping tiny little snus pouches like a coke fiend.

Scene 2:

Now, the wild crazy haired man has a chef's coat on and is mixing in a precise amount of water so that the tobacco is properly hydrated.

Scene 3:

Similar to the cartoon scene from Tom and Jerry when the dog and cat fight. An arm sticking out somewhere, a leg another place and a snus can twirling around

Scene 4:

Xobeloot pacing in front of the fridge with a stop watch, timing out EXACTLY 24 hours.

Scene 5:

Xobeloot with a ridiculous grin on his face with a monster pris in his mouth.

Scene 6:

Xobeloot knocked out on the floor from the insane nic hit.

The End!

That's about how it went

I made the mistake of loading about half a 5ml icetool (my usual pris size) of this losortion concoction.

It was amusing
