I got my first can of los (General) today and a prismaster. I looked at the prismaster and thought how in the hell is that going to make a pris. I decided to handbake my first pris. Now let me remind you I've never dipped. I had no idea what I was doing. I watched Zeros video (which is very helpful) and gave it a shot. It was a small pris, and was not the prettiest, but I stuck it in place. My only mistake was I stuck it too far back. I tried to move it up and it stared to break apart. I used my tongue to slide it up further and all was good. I left it in for about 45 mins and had no problem. I even played with it with my tongue to get some juice and push it up and all was good. I was drinking a beer all the while as well. I don't know if it was the brand or what, but handbaking was easy as hell. I was expecting a snus explosion in my mouth, but no such thing happened. I couldn't los all day, but I will def. be buying more for the evenings. I have a Skruf portion in now (to try for the first time), but when it's done, I'm gonna try the prismaster. Sorry for the long post, just had to let you guys know how my first run with los went!

Try and inject the Prismaster at an angle, so the Pris comes out horizontally. I was doing it straight up and down for a long time. It's so so much better now that I figured that out. -
I will remember that. The shape of the prismaster is oval. Is that right??Comment

Try reversing the plunger in the Prismaster. Doing that will make the pris smaller, and is a better size imo.Comment

I just (shot up) with the pris master horizontal from the advice, and it wasn't as clean as the handbake from earlier. Still not an explosion though. I am enjoying this way too much!! The flavor is amazing! The nic hit is awesome! This is some good shit!!Comment

Veganpunk welcome to the wonderful world of los. You no longer simply use snus you now wield tobacco. You are an artisan. Learn your craft well and enjoy.
As always give it time and try a variety.When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengersComment

I am looking forward now to getting home and putting in some los, now that I figured out injecting the Prismaster sideways. It really made it so much better and comfortable that how I was doing it before. It took me about 3 cans to figure it out. It has been a learning experience. I think the only open los I have right now is Offroad Cranberry, which is very good.Comment

Yes, that's all I can think about since I've been at work. Well that and drinking some cold beer watching The Simpsons Season 12 which is out on DVD today.Comment

Oh put your bullet back in your pocket. No ones fussing.Originally posted by sagedil
Your snus comes in prepackaged portions. It’s not a bad thing. In fact, you buy it for that very reason. You just don’t wield tobacco.
Los, on the other hand, must be fashioned, worked, and shaped- that’s all. It’s an art.
Move along folks, nothing to see here…..that’s it, keep it moving

After my above post, in the spirit of fairness and in recognition of the various snus traditions among us, I have consulted with the National Endowment for the Arts, The John T. and Arthur C. Getty Foundation, as well as with a guy I met at the Stop-n-Shop and we have all decided that though “fluffing” your portions (pausing to wipe tears of laughter from my eyes) is not technically a wielding of tobacco, it is nonetheless a technique requiring primate type motor skills and some degree of mental consciousness.
Therefore, to you fluffy snusers out there, we the brotherhood of los acknowledge your skills and embrace your fluffy portions with delightWhen it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengersComment

I don't fluff my snus thank you very much!!!
Just know, I can keep a portion of Thunder Frosted in my mouth for 4 hours. Let's see all you los gurus keep a pris in that long.
Who's the real snuser now!! :wink:Comment

Well, Swedish snus originates from the 18th century and consists of four main ingredients: tobacco, water, salt and humectant substance. Snus is a smokeless tobacco product. Different flavors are added to these four ingredients which provide each and every brand with its special character!
The Swedish snus (smokeless tobacco) is unique thanks to the special methods used when manufacturing the high quality tobacco. ...21-11-18, 11:08 AM -
Chewing is definitely not a new way of enjoying tobacco - it is a rather old tradition - but the new, modern Nordic Chew is more like snus than traditional chewing tobacco. It looks the same way as Swedish snus and comes in loose form or in portions. ...20-11-18, 01:22 PM
