    Using 2 portions

    I know this question has probably been asked numerous times but I wanted to be more specific. I have been using snus for over 2 years. The only kind I've ever used is General because I haven't wanted to deal with ordering it and its all that stores in my city sell. I have only ever used 2 portions at once because 1 just doesn't satisfy. Is this more dangerous than just using one because of double the amount of chemicals? Also I've decided to finally start ordering and what would you guys suggest that's pretty strong? I prefer white portion.

    Basically you are getting a sterk/xtra sterk strength 16mg of nicotine when you do that .. and its only as twice as dangerous as using 1 portion which is believed nominal
    ..................................... (Stronger)

      I'd suggest Roda Lacket and Skruf Tranbar (cranberry) for flavored whites, and Ettan for traditional tobacco flavor. If they still make it in white.

        Doubling up on portions (or using stronger snus for that matter) shouldn't be much of an health issue if you are healthy already. It might stress your heart a bit more, but nothing serious I think (probably similar to drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages).

          Thanks for the replies guys. I really meant because it was more tobacco therefore more tsna's. My local tobacco store started carrying Oden's extreme. Is it weird that one portion of Oden's somehow seems less strong than doubling up on the General?

            surface area comes into play Vomit. To me, Oden's extreme Los is like a bullet to the brain. I love it but have to use it sparingly.

              I ALWAYS use two portions. I used 2 pouches when I dipped, and still use two when I snus. The only kind of snus I have even tried, and not immediately throw in two portions, was Oden's Extreme because the nicotine rating is so high, however I have a feeling that it may be inflated. Most people would probably recommend to not start using two portions if you don't already. Aside from going through Snus twice as quickly, it makes it hard to feel the nicotine of any of the weaker varieties out there.

                That is why I think Oden's nicotine rating is off. 2 portions of Gen would still have less nicotine then 1 Oden's, however I get a lot more out of 2 portions of General than the 1 Oden's.

                Edit: This reply was to Vomit. I just realized that I am not replying with quotes.

                  I think its off too. Even Thunder seems to hit harder than Odens to me. I'm also a former dipper myself.

                    Odens portions do contain the nicotine they say, but they use a lower pH which means the release of the nicotine is quite slow and they last longer than most Starks.

                    Sometimes wrong and sometimes right .... but ALWAYS certain!!!

                      Hey, thanks for the info. That is interesting, and something I need to research for my future orders.

                        If you can't get your nicotine fix out of a General Ekstra Sterk portion,you should consider finding another drug.

                          That would be nice but sterk snus isn't available in stores here like regular strength General is.

                            Also is there any chemical difference in portions and los? Is using more than one portion essentially just the same as a big pris?

                              There's a slight difference. Lös has propylene glycol for moisture retention, and salt levels are usually tweaked, but they're mostly the same.
