    How long do you snus for?

    I used to snus for an hour, but I think it's pointless now, since the nicotine rush stops after 30 minutes. As well, the snus (portion or los) gets too moist. I snus around 30-45 minutes now. What about you? I would like to know.

    I usually snus for about 45 minutes to an hour. To be honest, depending on the portion, and especially if it's a stronger one, all of the nicotine doesn't run out after 30 minutes. You'll still get some, just not as much as before.

      Depends on if it's a portion or los. I usually leave portions in for well over an hour, sometimes longer. White portions tend to stay in longer than regulars. Los, maybe around 45 minutes.

        1 hour+ The only time it's shorter than that is if I have to eat or something.

          I've been going about 45min with portions. They just don't taste as good after that IMO. I'll go longer on loose depending on the pris size. Bigger=longer. No rules though. I'm not afraid of change.

            I don't really time it, I'd guess at los being anywhere up to 30 mins (and sometimes longer), and anything up to an hour for portions.

              Generally until the flavor runs out which almost always longer than an hour. Then a new one goes right in. Since I have one in all day I generally don't notice the nicotine levels dropping.

                Lös is anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes for me. I am not much of a portion guy, so I do not want to skew the results.

                  I usually snus for about an hour or longer. While the nicotine is mostly gone, I don't get any kind of rush, or really even feel anything from it anyway. I mostly just keep them in for as long as I can, since I know I will just put another one in without about 10 or 15 minutes lol

                    Yeah, it is different with los. It seems to run out of nicotine a little faster, but the initial nic hit is a lot stronger.

                      I voted 45 minutes since I usually use loose for 30 minutes and portion snus anywhere from 45 minutes to one hour (depending on how moist the portion gets and so forth). For some reason, loose snus just gets too moist after 30 minutes. I was not too specific with my post, since I will sometimes have a portion in for well over an hour (I will forget about it completely sometimes)!

                        I voted 1 hour. Just started snus'n 2 1/2 cans ago. The first few I took out in under 30 minutes. Then, I had to leave on in for about and hour and a half and realized I was missing a lot of flavor. Not to mention I stayed fully sated for that full hour and a half. But after 60 minutes, they get too sloppy in my small mouth.

                          I don't really time it. I'd guess around an hour at home. Work is more flexible, sometimes I can only leave it in for 20 minutes. I work in sales and talking a lot with a portion in is a pain.
                          I basically leave a portion or los in until it gets tasteless or slimy, or I just get done with it. If I'm working on a project I've been known to forget I had one in for 2-3 hours.

                            In the morning I will get a slight buzz with General Ekstra Sterk, or if I've abstained (not intentionally, of course). Using regular portions though, I never get a buzz. Some people don't like having strong snus in the morning, but I prefer it, since it perks me up along with my coffee.

                              I used to leave them in for 2 hours to try to exhaust one as much as possible- but I felt like I was seesawing too much. Then I experiemented to see how soon after putting in a portion I had a craving. it was 1 1/2 hours(sometimes slightly less) so that's how often I put in a freshy now.

                              If I want to get "buzzed", I'll start with one, put in one on the other side after an hour, and then keep replacing the oldest one every 45 minutes. I feel pretty out-of-body after doing that for a while...
