My first Snus experience...

**daruckis** · 13-09-09, 07:14 AM

i would only dry your lip if youre using los, and even then i dont do that. you might want to try some other regular nictotine snus, though im not sure of your regular nic intake, but starks are a once in a while thing for me. you have a lot of snus that theres no way i could do all day. if you have the money, id seriously consider making another small order of some more everyday snus, or youre (probably) going to end up really burnt out on onyx and grov svart. the flavors are very rich.

Welcome to Snuson :^)

The best way to reduce running is to keep the portion far forward in your lip, and keep your lip tight. To get more juice, move it towards the back of your mouth. The juice never bothered me, and I quite enjoy it. You do have a high concentration of starks in your first order, and that could be causing some issues if the snus is bothering you. It might be better to get some more standard snuses.

Don't sweat not quitting smoking right away. Smoke a cigarette when you want one, but make sure you really want one. Don't just grab it out of boredom or habit. It may take several months to quit smoking cigarettes completely; it's no big deal. You've smoked this long, another year isn't going to hurt anything. Just keep up your interest in snus, and it should replace cigarettes as your desired nicotine over time.

I still smoke a cigarette or 2 per week, but I don't have to. I can smoke a couple, and that's it. I like that, as I still enjoy cigarettes, and I enjoy them more when I can smoke because I want to, not because I'm compelled to :^)

welcome :!: hang around us for a bit and you will be a snus pro

**zmanzero** · 13-09-09, 09:32 AM

hi mike. bud, like what they said, do some normal (8mg) snus in the mix. that onyx is some really rich stuff, ya gotta be careful with all the snus goodness out here. hey, if you are a chain smoker like i was, then the es is a good thing. after you're off the cigs and a time has passed then, i dunno, but for me even i don't need the es constantly. it turns into the joy of different flavors and a smorgasbord of various tobacco experiences. beats the hell out of cigs.

welcome to snuson michael.

**spike** · 13-09-09, 01:40 PM

Welcome.. and yeah i agree with the rest.. get some regulars and you should be ok.. there is a alot to learn just don't give up..

You will get used to the juice as day's pass and become more familiar with what works for you lip wise..that bubbly feeling in your stomach will pass as well and you wont even notice.. my suggestions as i am still new
burb when you get that bubbly feeling it helps and order often and keep stocked..dont ever order when your almost out..you will find everything you need here..good luck.

I have worked 20 hours these last 2 days doing the whole Roller Derby thing. Still, pleases me to see others picking up the slack. :wink:

Now.....

Welcome to Snuson MichaelLee. A couple of things I want to add...

Next order, pick up a couple of White portions to try. These will run MUCH less. Overall usage here on Snuson seems to be about 40% mostly regular, 40% mostly whites, and the rest just use both interchangeably. I switched to mostly whites after a year using, as suddenly, I hated how the regulars ran. So check some whites out, you may find that you just prefer them more.

As for the smoking thing, don't even think about. As I have said often, I came to snus with no intention of quitting, I was just looking for something that could get me through work so I didn't have to leave the sales floor I was managing so much. But over 6 weeks, I just used the snus more and more, smoked less and less, until one day, I just stopped smoking cigarettes.

Snus is a better nicotine delivery system. Give your body long enough, it will come to prefer it over smokes. So for now, snus when you want, smoke when you want, put NO pressure on yourself to do anything. Over time, I promise, the snus WILL win.

And welcome to Snuson. And listen to what the others said, they know what they are talking about too. :lol: :lol: :lol:

**MichaelLee** · 13-09-09, 05:04 PM

Hah! I knew you guys seemed very welcoming, but damn. Thank you all for the welcome and advice.

I'm already looking forward to my next order. Figured on some Gote #2, Roda Lacket white, and some Ettan. Anything I might like to add?

Thus far, I haven't tried the Original Thunder yet...but the Frosted, Onyx, and Skruf are very good at waking me up in the morning. The Grov and General Wintergreen are the ones I'm typically using, simply because if I use the starks after a cigarette, I get a little tweaked and adrenalin-happy.

Thank you guys again for the great advice. I'm looking forward to all this Snus goodness. Take care, all.

Michael

Welcome to SnusOn. Great advise has been given already. Enjoy trying all the different options. It's a lot of fun!

**sagedil** · 13-09-09, 05:16 PM

throw in a General white too. Cover both the white part, and General is THE brand used by most Swedes. So might as well. :wink:

And yeah, we are an unusual group here. Best forum anywhere on the net.

**spike** · 14-09-09, 12:04 AM

I agree with that sentiment sage,I'm already having a bunch of fun with you guys..kills time at work which is a double plus. but yeah it looks like a good order. if you like gin try goat rape 1 and possibly some gotlandsnus as ive heard they are good from most people, however i did not fancy the green it came on alittle strong and bitter for me..might change though. thats the thing with most snus's. try everything as your taste change a lot and don't ever throw away snus.. always come back to it or use it when in a pinch you might find you have a taste for that certain brand after all.
