newbie question

[b0gman]

I am new to snus Ive been using it for abt a month... Ive been using Gen White and GR no2 for a while and I like them but they lack the nic punch i need. I am trying to quit smoking 1+ packs a day of full flav Marlboro. I recently got a can of Thunder Frosted extra sterk... My question is this that has almost double the nic of my normal snus am I likely to have issues bc of the amt of nic or should my 240lb ass be able to handle it. I ordered it bc I still smoke bc im not getting enough nic from my normal stuff

You'll be fine.. You need the extra stark to stop the cigarettes cravings.

Welcome to Snuson!

I don't think you'll have issues, but the only way to know is to try. You won't kill yourself or anything, so it won't hurt to try.

Get some nasal snuff as well. Once the feeling you need some extra nic take a snooter.

Welcome b0g!

You should be fine. Thunder seems to deliver the nic at a pretty even steady pace - not the slap in the face that you can get with some other starks.

Welocme to Snuson b0gman

Several factors affect the nicotine hit, the amount is one, the PH is another. A lower PH, and the hit is slower, and less of the total nicotine that is available gets picked up. So Skruff Stark, eve though it only has about 13 mg of nicotine, hits far harder than Thunder with 17 mg.

My only advice is be careful chain snusing the Thunder. When I first started using, I made myself a little sick using it too frequently. I try, at the very lest, to always use a regular in between Thuinders

[b0gman]

This board is awesome

That helps alot I didnt understand how pH affected nicotine uptake rate.

Camel Sucks

All this being said i had to use 3 camel snus to feel anything

So 10 minutes in and im alive this doesnt kick that hard but it takes the edge off much better than most others. With the higher nic level and slower absorb rate I would assume I can leave this in longer than a reg portion

[sagedil]

Yes.

But honestly, leave ANY portion in as long as you desire. No real reason to leave or not, just depends on flavor. By an hour, your body will have absorbed all the nicotine that was available, but you will get most in the first 30 minutes.

But Thunder Frosted is famous for it;'s flavor lasting forever. And the superb nicotine delivery means you won't "feel" like you need another one for a few hours probably.

Frosted

Thanks.

This stuff I think will definitly be in my pocket at work along with Elixyr peppermint(yes I like the stuf). I shouldnt have underestimated my bodys nic tolerance after 10 years of 1-2 packs a day of Mar Red of Menthol 100s.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. Just wanted to say welcome to snus-on.

Welcome b0gman. I used to smoke Camel Turkish Gold before snus. Occasionally I would bum a Marb Red 100 from a coworker. Those things aren't kidding around. They kicked my ass. Good luck with the snussing, it's a lot of fun.
