Cool trick with dry snus.

[liam.lah]

Hey guys, ive been lurking this forum for a bit since i started snusing. My favourite are the General dry mint. I thought it would be nice for my first post to be a thread.

Even though these snus come very dry, over the course of a few days, they can become noticeably drier, so i came up with a quick and easy trick to re-moisten them.

When i grab a snus out of my pocket, i open the tin, place the snus lightly between my lips(try to keep the lips dry or the snus will just be wet, and thats not very pleasant at all) while I put the container back in my pocket. This short moment gives an excellent opportunity to blow air through the snus. The moist air moving through the snus re-moistens the tobacco and the bag, giving a slightly more pleasant experience when you first place it under your gum.

Enjoy

Welcome to SnusOn!

That's interesting. I can't relate, as I don't use dry portions, or portions of any kind really, but that sounds like an easy fix, that doesn't require anything fancy. Elegant :^)

Lx, so if you head into the supermarket you still use los?

Oh yea, pretty much everywhere. The only time I don't is with hard physical work, and the few times it's very inconvenient. With hard physical work, I tend to really mash the pris, and it goes everywhere. An inconvenient place would be like doing tech crew for theatre. You're working a lot in the dark, and trash cans aren't always easy to find, so it's better to use portions. Public speaking would be another good use for portions, but day to day public interactions, it just doesn't matter to me. It also helps being old enough not to care what people think :^D

i hear you. i think i'm old enough to not care what people think too. but i draw the line at a mudslide at the checkout.

if los sticks to my gum only i'm winning. but if it grips to my teeth when i release i can get a mudslide.

Welcome Liam.Lah by the way :-)

Lös control comes with time. I probably have stuff on my teeth occasionally, but no real mudslides outside of the physical work caveat above. I've used lös almost exclusively for over 3 years now, and the practice helps a lot. After awhile, it isn't even a concern. Lös use becomes second nature, and you don't give it a second thought. It helps if you keep the pris size down also. I use ~1.2g per pris, so I have a place to put it. Don't be squeamish about swallowing the pris if necessary. You can get rid of it quick that way if need be :^)

ah right thanks - well i must admit to making very large prillas most of the time

Got some Oden's Extreme portion recently, and it is very dry. I tried this trick and to my surprise, it actually works pretty nicely. Thanks!

Hello and Welcome liam.lah!


Your tip sounds great. However, I do not fully understand.

1. Put the snus under the lip (and keep the lips dry).
2. Put the snus can back in your pocket.
3. Blow air through the snus?
4. ????
5. Profit!?

Im not saying you have a dirty mouth but what about bacteria?

Just take a hair dresser spray bottle and set it to the finest mist you can and indirectly spray it over the can. I do this with loose thats be opened a few days.

*on a side note. Preventing a mudslide with loose is all about the pack. I use a pris master but almost never directly push it out into my lip unless im driving. I always push it out and pack it even more with my fingers. Also get the snus as far up in your cheek as you can and once its in use your fingers to pack it in there by pressing in and up on the outside of your lips.

Welcome new guy! Im new and i love it here.

All correct except step 1. Place the snus between the lips, and blow through it, perhaps like a whistle. This puts your moist breath through the snus and makes it a bit softer before you place it under your lip.

Aaaah ok, now I get it! I will try it with my next snus!

I hate dry snus I like to juice it up. My favourite snus is loose baby and if that is tad dry I hate it.

Long live real snus
