Two more snus experiences...

[MichaelLee]

Loose - Well, my first attempt was met with ridiculous failure. Thankfully, as advised by a few of you, I didn't invest in an Icetool or a full roll of los. Hand baking is utter crap...no luck with that at all. Managed to get a nice prilla (or so I thought) after about 20 minutes of baking. Popped it in...instant mudslide. Think I brushed my teeth for another 20 minutes. I may end up pulling a "Sage" and making many attempts before I can fully ingratiate myself into the wild world of loose snus.

Double-barreling - Hrm, I was mad-intrigued at the thought. "WoW, a double nic hit when I need it...EXCELLENT IDEA!" I said to myself. So I woke up the day after this epiphany and w/o paying attention to what I was grabbing (meant to grab my General Original, but ended up with my GES), and threw in two portions. Within the ten minutes it took me to get situated and in the shower, I threw aside the shower curtain and hurled my way into a whole new realm of dry heaving agony.

Note to self...and adventuresome newbies...pay attention to what you're double-barreling Breakfast may not hurt either as I hear many have adverse effects to snusing on an empty stomach.

Figure everyone's got stories like this. Even as such, I had to laugh at my luck

[sagedil]

Nope, no, never done that. :wink:

Personally, I always thought double barreling anything was dumb. That's what the good Lord invented ES for. :lol: :lol:

The the pris fall apart as soon as you stuck it in? If so there are tips on the Dippers Guide to Los that could help. That was one of my problems. I handbaked mine pretty hard, but now not so much. It just takes a little bit of practice!

:shock: LoL...I know, I know. I tend to get a bit overzealous with new obsessions in life. Obviously leads to going overboard occasionally.

LMAO!!! I'm sorry, I am laughing at your pain but I've been there and done that, not while showering though...

Haha, it hit pretty hard and fast. But my intention was NOT to DB two ekstra sterks. Good lesson though...just stick with ONE at a time and all's well.

[sagedil]

I think it is really useful, maybe not fun, but useful to understand where your bodies limits are. Now you know that two ES is too much. Good to know where the line is

[african redbush]

**** double barreling an ES... i hope you didnt get it all over the bathroom.

[elespectrol]

I def feel your pain on that . I never double barreled an es but on an empty stomach or with a hangover one thunder frosted will have me praying to the porcelin gods in a heartbeat!

Oh, I fully agree, man. I've actually had to scale back on the sterks in general. I'll toggle between a sterk and a white now that I have a good gauge of what's likely to make me hurl.

[sagedil]

Some of the lesser sterks I can chain snus, but I had to learn the hard way NOT to do that with Thunder/Odens. Typical use for me now is maybe two to three regular for every sterk I have

[texasmade]

ive gotten to the point where i can db thunder portions...but im gonna start using the reg nic snus more to take my tolerance down and try everything i havent tried yet

[sagedil]

yeah, I am sure I could have no trouble building up my nicotine tolerance if I must, but why???

Has never been a big issue for me, I did try to back down my usage slightly, but that is really just a global money savings issue.

[texasmade]

i really dont notic a difference when i switch it up between es and reg nic im all in it for the flavors now i never feel like im not getting the satisfaction i need

[MichaelLee]

I don't notice the difference either. The only time I notice something amiss is when I get too much. But that comes from my love of Thunder. I can't chain them at all. I have to switch up to Grov or the like...something more regular on nic.

Need some more N&J...I could chain snus that all day and never have a problem.
