My first los

[lxskllr]

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:

I can do that. I can even sleep the night with lös in my mouth, and 80% of the time it's still in good shape in the morning :^P


Of course that other 20%... :^D

That is of course unless it pops out and floats down the river :wink:

Yea, probably best we not mention that.



LoL fellas and may the snus (in whatever form) abide 8)

Now, now, I still like my portions, but los is like a whole new experience. I'm still anxiously awaiting my Camel White (and Level!) from Northerner!

I had poor los experience last night. My mouth seems even on both sides, but I used the Prismaster, and being right handed, used that hand and packed a pris and put it in the left side of my mouth. It felt great, everything was fine. Then later, I made another, and did it on the right side, trying to mimic what I did with my right hand, using the left, but it just did not work well. I'm still not sure what was wrong, but the pris just couldn't get situated right, was not comfortable, and then was flaking off. After a short while like that, I decided to just try again, and still, could not replicate how I had on the left side. After maybe an hour of swallowing bit, and spitting pieces, that Offroad Cranberry does taste good, I took it out, and threw in a portion of Ettan vit. Tonight I might try hand baking it. Are those icetools at Getsnus good? Looks like they say General.

ALL icetools are exactly the same. Just some are branded.

[tical00]

the prismaster is the cheap one, correct? I think I may be trying one of those soon.

[tom502]

yes, the Prismaster is plastic about 2 dollars. My only critique of it that I've had, as it seems the thumb groove kinda bend inward and makes it hard to press and push.

Also, some are aluminum, and some are steel. The General branded tools are aluminum.

well...got the prismaster yesterday so been los'ing it up a bit. Sure I skipped some of the ugly disasters by reading all the advise here. Only los I have is the Odens ES Kanel but worked ok.

My only issue is I'm used to sucking the living life out of my portions for every last bit of flavor. Changing sides, squeezing the lips and finishing them off occasionally in the bottom lip. Los seems to not juice up as much as I've gotten used to and pushing on the lip can invoke the hillbilly smile. I also don't seem to get the same flavor kick that I do from portions. To each his own but I'm not giving up yet.

[sagedil]

Yes, I think you described the difference between using portions and los perfectly. To each his own, but I love playing with my snus too much.

Thanks for the input guys. I was seriously leaning towards the Ettan, and I think that's what I'll probably get. It's the oldest, and I guess the most traditional snus out there, which is kind of what I'm looking for.

I'm guessing I'll stick with portions, but I want to try lös at least once. I'm too used to playing with my snus for lös I believe. I'll put it in my upper lip, and after about 10 minutes I'm moving it all over my mouth, sucking on the portion, and just playing in general. I don't think the lös will hold up well to that kind of treatment :P

:^D

So you are saying even us die-hard portion guys will eventually see the light and come under the sway of los??

I really hope you are right, and do plan another los experiment in the next few months.

We shall see.

I think what really got me into lös was I HAD to use it to get one of my favorite snuses(Landströms). For awhile that was the only lös I used. I just grew to prefer it, and after finding the flavors differed between lös and portions, I wanted to try them all. In most cases I preferred the lös flavor, and I definitely preferred the mouth feel.

but see..My wife would get upset if I just left my tongue laying there...wait wrong forum

See, I just don't prefer how it feels. In fact, I largely dislike the whole sensation. I think part of it is I have a hard time staying still, one of the reasons probably I am so abusive to my portions. With los, I just have to largely let it sit there, and I grow irritated with it within 15 minutes.

As for flavors, I have so many snuses I like and a few I absolutely love. Honestly, if I never ever tried a new snus again, I would still be very happy with what I have. So chasing flavors, especially if I am not fond of the whole "los experience" just makes no sense for me.

Still....I really would like to come to be comfortable with los. I will give it a third attempts, and probably 4, 5 , and even 6 over the next few years. But so far, each time, I come away always reinvigorated in my love for portions
