I have been digging into a can of Göteborgs Rapé Lös this week, alternating with göte white portions, lucky strike portions, ettan portions and catch mint vanilla dry portions. I now have about half left of this can of lös, and every pris has been an interesting and learning experience.
A lot of threads have people raving about the magic of lös and I have begun to see what all the fuss is about. While I'm handbaking impaired, the prismaster has certainly helped me appreciate the wonders of lös. At first I had the plunger turned the other way around which resulted in a larger than, for me, desirable pris. Once I got it turned around and figured out that the pris had to be compressed quite a bit more than I had done at first, the resulting pris was an absolute joy giving me the 40 or so minute nic buzz and close to 1½ hour flavor extravaganza.
Portions are nice, but I quickly noticed the flavor difference others have been talking about. Lös is a lot more flavorful from the minute I put in the pris and it doesn't wear off until around the 1½ hour mark. No bitterness and most important of all, no mud. A swipe with the finger, and a slush of water and I'm ready for the next pris. Granted it's a little more messy than a portion, but for what I get out of it, I don't mind it one bit. Also, my gums feel better than when I use a portion. Win.
I will probably keep buying Ettan portions as well as a few others, but at this point it's clear to me, that lös is the way to go. The portions will be used exclusively for when I'm at work.
Next step would be to invest in an ice tool, and perhaps one of those gorgeous ice tool lös cans. It's a bit pricey but with some replacement O-rings, I can't imagine the ice tool ever dying on me.
Once this göte rape is done, I'll pop the lid on a can of skruf stark lös!

Or I will take the car the long way down to the gas station and make a day trip out of it.
