    First Attempt at Los

    Got a tin a general los today along with a prismaster. First I tried to hand bake....a complete disaster, then I formed a pris with the prismaster. I popped it in and love how soft it is on the gums. Much more comfortable than portions....but so messy. I was talking to my sister, trying to be discreet, and she looked at me and said "what the hell happened to your teeth?" I looked in the mirror and they were completely black! Covered in snus. I guess it takes time to get used to :lol: But I like it alot! Thanks to all the los pros here who gave tips on using it! I'll use them and hopefully get better in the future. Its great though!

    I'm getting better at using loose. I do love the flavor a lot more than portions.

      Yeah its great...I don't taste much more of a difference than general original portions. Los is a bit more subtle though. But it will be just for use at home. I don't think I'll ever use it in public, like at a bar or something. Portions are just too good for that.

        Oh you will.. then you'll buy an icetool, then you'll never want to use portions again.. Happens to all of those who venture into los.

          Seriously. I started off using loose here and there. But the comfort on the gums and the subtle, lasting flavor quickly amounted to me using it about 80 percent of the time. Now I only use portions when I have to be discreet (in class, when talking to women or friend's parents, etc.).

          Other than that, you'll rarely find me without a pris of Ettan in my upper lip. Watch out. Loose snus grows on you as you get more comfortable with it. (If you allow yourself to get comfortable with it.)

          EDIT: Me and my typos...

              Never say never...it's happening to me. I noticed that I have more los cans open than portions. Took a few extra cans of portions out of the freezer just to even things up a bit..lol

                Yeah. I didn't expect it but los was an instant hit with me and made me realize that you're not really tasting a particular brand/flavor of snus unless you've tried the los version, if any. To my taste buds, they spray too much stuff on those bags.

                  From what I noticed today...Los is really the same thing as portions. The portions are just alot cleaner, and easier to use. But the los, lets you choose the pris size and enjoy it equally the same. Both are snus, and I'm sure I will continue to enjoy both the same.

                  IMHO...I taste NO difference between general los, and general original portions. Both are just fantastic.

                    Really? Not even a difference in salt? I've never tried original portion but have gone through a couple cans of white portions. I noticed the lös was a lot less salty if even at all, compared to General White.

                      No so with Ettan. The difference, to me, between the portions and los is like night and day.

                        Yeah I still taste no difference between general portions and los. Both are the same great flavor, and equal amount of salt.

                        But.....
                        What I noticed is how you form the pris. If it is tight and well packed, it tends to drip less, so there is a less taste to it (and less salt). But if the pris is loose and gets slightly mushy, the taste is very strong and salty, because tiny bits of the snus get into your mouth.

                          Oh yeah. Some loosely backed Ettan is heaven.
