      From what is says, unlike the dry portion version, it comes wet. If it's the same weight as the dry portion bucket it would be the equivalent to about a roll of los. For some reason getting a 450 gram can of los just doesn't sound that appealing.

          I'm very disappointed

          "How to make your own SnusX loose:
          The water is allready added, so if you don't want to add flavour, its ready to use. "

          So it isn't a real snussat, you aren't really making your own snus.

          What you are doing is buying unflavoured snus in bulk.
          I don't see anywhere that says how much lös is in the bucket?????????

          The portion kit will give you 20 cans,
          If the lös kit does the same it would have to be around 900 grams of lös.

              Normally you get about 2x loose compared to portion right?

              I'd expect that this will hold for this too. Probably the same sized bucket, 3/4 filled with loose.

                oH boY! So if I bought this and a tub of ground cinnamon and baking soda, I can make my own ES Kanel lös snus and tell Gajane tobacco to piss off?

                  I am not going to do a pre-order on a probably.

                  I wanted a real snussat. Where you bought the tobacco flour and added your own water. You can stockpile those in the back of a closet without any fear of them going bad.
                  If you want to stock up on these they need to be stored in your freezer just like regular snus.
                  And with a dry snussat you aren't paying taxes on the water weight of finished product.

                    I had it in my basket. But, since you mentioned the weight thing I think I'll hold off. I could get a roll of Offroad for less at that point!

                      Yeah, not sure why they added water.

                      Water we have.

                        I don't know what's up with adding water. Wasn't one of the ideas behind snus x to avoid weight taxes? In Texas and some states this will cost you close to the same as regular los snus after pact. It's like stokers snus unflavored or something like that.

                          I'm thinking it's not so much the water they had to add, but the humectants. There's another thread with a discussion of cutting open portions to make lös, but people say it won't work because the humectants are needed to make the prillas stick together. There wouldn't be much point to adding the humectants without the water, so maybe that's why they're selling the lös wet.

                            That's probably a lot of it. It would be easy to have premeasured packets of chemicals, then add your own water. That's what I'd really like to see. Dry tobacco flours then everything else separate. I'll probably pick one of these up. I do want to see what the weight is before buying though.

                              Very disappointing, considering this will probably somewhere in the 500g range you won't be saving anything, especially when you factor in the cost of flavorings. If anything it'll be a giant nuisance as it would take a bit of effort to fit this comfortably in the fridge or an annoyance repackaging in smaller containers.
