question about white portions

[shady]

hi,
i bought a bunch of white portions but there are not strong enough for me. I would hate to waste them all. Can I cut the portions and empty and use it like lös? Or would i have to double up?

thanks

Hi, shady, and welcome. The snus inside portions isn't the same as lös, so you are likely to find the experience unpleasant if you open up the portions. Doubling up is your best bet.

The tobacco won't hold together when its out of the portion. I'd recommend spraying the portions with water and leaving them in the fridge for a few days. Once the moisture soaks in, you'll have original portions.

I have never used los, but I have opened up pouches. it is ground very fine and you will have a "fun" time at trying to bake it. it couldnt hurt to use one on trying it out for yourself and if it doesnt work then try doubling them.

There is another option, depending on how much snus you're talking about. You could always swap some of it for original portions, sterks, or, dare I say it, lös. Check the snus exchange, or post what you have there.

Yah know, General Sterk is a strong white portion. You might like that, or maybe something like Onyx or Grov Svart.

I think that the white portions are just as strong, but due to the dryness it takes longer for them to get going thus providing a slower nic uptake making it less noticeable.

Some suggest wetting the white portion with your saliva before you park it, but for me that just makes it slide around more and shortens the duration of the snus.

I think snusjus has your answer if you don't want to trade them. I've had luck adjusting moisture (up and down) this way.

Thank you for the welcome and all the suggestions. I am trying to quit smoking by using snus, so I am having nicotine cravings with the white portions for some reason. When I use lös, the nicotine cravings are further apart. I do like these white portions, they are göteborgs rapé. I like the taste, and the flavor seems to last forever, but I guess since I am quitting smoking I need more nicotine. I am gonna try what snusjus suggested and make original portions.

I don't think it would "make" original portions, as originals are not just sprayed with water. I would say if they are not strong enough, lick them, both sides, and do 2 at a time. That would be be the ES strength. And if you don't so much like the white portions because of what you said, they would go faster using 2, and then you know for future purchases not to get white. I prefer originals myself, but some whites stand out, Gen Sterk, Onyx.

ive sworn off whites. its like putting a cottonball under your lip. makes me cringe just thinking about it.

shady, welcome to snuson

Your issues have nothing to do with white or regular, they only have to do with sterk or not sterk. You are having nicotine cravings because you simply aren't getting enough nicotine. the regulars will relase what they have a bit faster, but still not enough.

Please, get some sterks. I have helped many folks with this issue before as they were making the transition from smoking to snus. Sterks help. My first 4 months or so of use 3 years ago, all I used was sterks.

And daruckis, I am just ignoring you. :wink:

When you use lös you are probably using prillas that are bigger than the gram that you get in a white portion or a regular portion this is why it satisfies you. It has nothing to do with the lös being stronger it just you use more. Most lös is usually a little bit weaker in strength than its portioned counterpart. but as it is in direct contact with your lip you absorb more.



You could always use 2 portions at a time so as not to waste them.

I have a strong nicotine desire, So I only use sterk brands of portions. Regular strength Lös as I can make a big prilla. and smaller prillas of extra sterk lös.

Hi Guys,

I've been snusing for a year or so now, supplimenting smoking (ducking the Ban, and social situations) but I wonder whether I'm getting the most of the experience, I tried quite a few brands when I started, 'off road', liquerice flavour, and the like, but didn't get on with them.

I like gottenburg rape no 2 and ld white potion, but I'm not keen on stronger snuses..

Would anyone have any recommendations of similar snuses I should try, I shop with northerner.com, and notice favourable reviews for ettan, and since they sent me a free ettan hat with an order once (bit small, but hey, it as free), I should ask about alternatives.

Kind regards.

Sometimes it helps to drink hot coffee while you are using the white portion. Once the portion gets soaked the flavor will really come through.

Thanks, Go Vegan (i'm merly vege myself),

Although good coffee and indeed beer go great with snus, I was wondering if there is any portion snus that you would recomend.

I know this is tricky but I know what I like, and so far it's beeen white portion. I just wonder if I'm limiting myself (some of the stuff i've bought has been dreadful!)..
