    WOW! I didn't know Skruf Xtra was 19 ml nic!

    I thought I had cans of 8, 11 and 14 ml snus.
    I bought 6 cans of General regular portion which
    are 8 ml nic. I had thought my Skruf starks were
    11 ml and my Skruf Xtra starks were 14 ml.

    Now I find out the Skruf starks are 14 ml
    and the Xtra starks are 19 ml !

    Here I had was mostly 8s and thought I was
    using a fair amount of 11s to find out the 11s
    are actually 14 ml. Now wonder the Xtras
    gave me quite a buzz.

    This messed my gauging up :-)

    The measurement of nicotine in snus is milligrams, not milliliters; I assume it was just a typo. I wouldn't be too worried about the amount of nicotine you're consuming. I don't notice any differences between an 8mg or 15mg portion. After a while, you won't get any buzz, even from the strongest of brands.

        Yea, i meant milligrams. I couldn't remember the abbreviation.

        How would you not notice the difference in 8s to 15s?

        Have you all tried the Skruf Xtra 19s?

          I don't do starks. I can't stand a nicotine buzz, and anything over 11mg or so gives me one. Lรถs is a bit easier to deal with cause I can make the pris smaller, but with portions you get what you get.

            You may want to take the pH level of Skruf into account. The pH level is in the 8.0-8.3 range. Swedish Match brands are normally in the 8.5-8.8 range. When the pH is higher, the amount of nicotine absorbed increases. If you want a really strong kick, try a can of General Ekstra Sterk.

              This guy's not kidding. Like a fool I ordered a can of GES portions as my first can of Swedish snus. I popped one in as me and my buddy were on the way to Taco Bell and don't remember much of anything until we got there. My friend said I almost blacked out. LMAO! Anyways, once we got in the cashier kept giving me these weird looks. I guess it was pretty obvious I was nic buzzing like hell.

              Moral of the story? Don't make GES your first snus experience.

                One of my buddies who occasionally visits Sweden and has a General White every now and then tried a portion of GES. His experience was very similar to yours... except his story ended in excessive vomiting.

                  Eh... kinda glad I stomached it. I doubt my buddy would've let that one go if I had've blew chunks all in his car, or worse... all over his Quesadilla.

                    Weird stories. I black out too but I understand it's genetic and for me there is always hard liquor involved. If I blacked out on snus too I'd really be a mess. I like the Skruf ES, it's a good snus. The lรถs is super tasty. GES lรถs is great too.

                          I'm a 30 year smoker, been snussing for almost a year, i think i have found a way to get a nic buzz almost every evening.
                          I use Rothbrix Brown los all day at work in a regular to medium size pris. When i get home i've been popping in a Thunder Berry, then follow that 2 hours later with a General ES portion . Seems like that combination gets me buzzing every time. That Gen ES kicks ass .

                          I have some Gen ES los coming in my next order along with some Skruf ES los. Looking forward to trying both of them in los.

                            GES is more comparable to Skruf Sterk. Was really dissapointed when I tried it.

                              GES is 15 and Skruf Xtra Stark is 19. If I can handle SXS will GES be OK?
