How high is your nicotine tolerance?

[GoVegan]

I use about 2 regular portions and anywhere from 5 to 8 mini portions a day.

Are you that dude from the 60 minutes clip a couple months back?

I have to tell ya lazer,

those dancing squirrel nuts are disturbing

funny but disturbing....

Never really kept track. I generally have some in all the time, maybe a 45 minute break between. Really only use sterks first thing in the morning or while i'm drinking. I have yet to try snuff.

See this is me, I guess it's carried over from when I was trying to quit smoking. I never wanted my nic levels to dip too low and trigger a craving. I wake up and pop in an Ekstra Sterk or Xtra Stark portion with my coffee. Then about an hour later, another ES or XS, then I try (try) to use reg portions as often as possible throughout the day. I almost always have a portion or prilla in, only when I eat do I remove one.

So my answer is...I don't really know as I've never cared to track how much I use. The key for me is, what is my body telling me? If I feel like I need more nicotine, then I'll pop in a fresh portion. It should be noted that I will leave a portion in for hours on end...my rule is, if I can still taste it, then leave it alone. Unless I "feel" the need for more nicotine, then a fresh portion/prilla is in order.

For me, half a can of GES Los or ~15 regular strength portions.

7-9 portions daily. Have regular and half Stark and ES.

I'll put myself in the moderate light level. 5 to 6 grams a day, either loose or portions I end up doing the same amount. Add to that a few toots a day at most of snuff. I have a hard time doing to much nasal snuff. Between the cold dry northern Midwest winters and spring and fall allergies I can't depend on it for a regular source of nicotine. A few times a week I just need something that I can't find in smokeless so I have a bowl in the corncob. 3 to 4 bowls a week maximum but most of the time less.

I use 12-14 portions a day. A ES first thing in the morning and a mix of 60/40 regular and sterks the rest of the day. Topped off as needed with snuff. A pipe full twice a week or so and 1 cigar a month. Overall I'd say I get more nic now than when I smoked.

I can go for days if I dont have snus. its not a problem for me. I dont know why. I use snus day long if I have some.

[tom502]

The amount of portions, or pris one uses in a day, is also related to how long they usually keep it in. I usually go over an hour, usually about an hour and a half. If I cut it down to a half hour, I would use more portions, but for me, it's still going well for over an hour, sometimes almost 2.

[NonServiam]

I use 10 grams of Extra Sterk a day. I have always had a high nic tolerance. Most kids dad's have them chain smoke a pack of cigs when they are caught smoking. Did that....no problem. I just finished a chaw of Levi Garrett and I popped in two grams of Skruf Xtra Stark. No problems at all. Damn't, I have a serious problem.

[Jwalker]

I'm not addicted or anything like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81ORuEBfwg4. Seriously though about seven to ten grams depending on if I use nasal snuff or smoke.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

I'm fully addicted, but at least I'm not smoking ciggs anymore. Here's an average day for me:

Wake up 6am- ES portion
7am - ES portion
8am - ES portion
Breakfast
9am - Regular loose
10am - Regular loose
11am - Regular loose
12am - Regular loose
Lunch
1:30pm - Regular loose
2:30pm - Regular loose
3:30pm - Regular loose
4:30pm - Regular loose
Start drinking beer
5:30pm - Probe Loose
6:30pm - Skruf Stark Loose
7:30pm - GES Loose
8:30pm - Skruf Extra Stark Loose
9:30pm - Odens Extra Sterk Kanel Loose
dinner
bed with an extra sterk portion in
repeat

Note: the loose prillas are at least 2.5-3 grams.

So that's about 16 or so a day. How some of you guys just use a few a day I have no idea. But that's cool, whatever works. Just glad we all found something that does work.

Well, probably about 20 portions of General White. For more than a year now, I've never not had a portion in. (Well, except while actually chewing food. So, subtract about an hour a day.)

I'm not sure how much nicotine is actually in the portion I have in my mouth when I wake up in the morning. All I know is it tastes awful, and gives me incredibly intense dreams.

I have yet to punch any babies - either during the day, or in my dreams - though I tend to avoid babies generally. If anything, snus keeps me calm enough to cope with the rampant idiocy I'm constantly surrounded by.

So far, so good.

About 12 portions of Skruf Stark a day. Sometimes a couple of Skruf Xtra Stark too.

[AtreyuKun]

I tried Friday to keep track of how many portions I use in a typical day, but I lost count after 8 or 9.
I'd wager somewhere around 14 portions a day. My day almost always begins with a sterk.
