Ran out of regular portions, how many mini's to replace?

[snoogies]

I just ran out of my regular white portion general, and it will be a few days before I have more... I however have a few cans of the general mini portions... My question is how many mini's would equal a regular? And would it have the same effect if i used that amount at the same time?

I think it is ~3, because there are 24 g / 24 ct = 1 gram per pouch for the regular, and 6g / 20 ct = .3 grams per pouch for the mini, so 3 mini's equal .9 grams...

Anyone have experience doing something like this?

More importantly, I'm going to restock 30+ cans, and reload when I hit 15 or so so this doesn't happen again.

Welcome to SnusOn!

Your math looks right, but I'd try using less than 3 at first. There's no point in throwing money away if you don't have to. As far as nicotine goes, I can use minis fine. My problem with them is mouth feel, and flavor. They're just too small, and weak in taste. I'd almost rather use no snus than use mini snus.

What I've read is that reg portions have 8 mg nic and minis have 4.. So I would say 2 minis would do the trick.

Like Eric said, i would try two. Personally, i have never used minis, i would just assume doubling up would do the trick, or at least satisfy the cravings until i got my usual's back.

I'm even more confused now. Looking at websites, the regular size is listed as "8mg/g nicotine", and the minis are listed as "4mg/g". This would make it 4mg*6g = 24mg/20ct = 1.2mg per pouch, and 8mg*24g = 192mg/24ct = 8mg per pouch...

That can't be right though... They must mean 4mg/pouch and 8mg/pouch... So I'll give the 2 at a time a try. Thanks guys!

Good luck. I would just do two. Honestly. If it were me I'd do one, but if I use a mini it's not for the nicotine. The only minis I have right now is the new catch flavors. :P

Yea it's still 8mg per gram but you at using half gram protions so I goes
(8mg per gram)/2 which gives you 4mg per half gram
portion. The labels confused me at first also but this goes only for 1 gram portions and half gram minis.
