Ways to chill you snus, any ideas?

I'm a newby...why do you want to chill your snus?

If it gets warm it gets nasty in my opinion. Plus it says to store it at around 45 degrees F.

Overall, snus tastes better cool/cold, but there are a few brands that I actually like better when they are at room temperature. I seem to be able to taste them better when they are warm, if that makes any sense...

When I first started out, I was pretty religious with keeping tins in the fridge...but I got lazy really quick. :wink:

if its not cold, there is a possibility for bacteria and mold to grow on it,
plus i like cold snus, lets me know its there and doing its job

Due to the way snus is made refrigeration is necessary to keep it fresh. The cooler the better. Warming as well as extreme temperature fluctuations will cause premature expiration and yes there are expiration dates on the tins. An open tin will dry out after about a week or so. Having too many flavors open at once can be a problem. I have yet to come across anything that I wouldn't put in my mouth but I could see one not knowing these things ending up with some pretty stale snus. Stale or not I would suck it for the nic anyway. But that's me.

Here's that single soda can USB fridge. I'd have to think that it would be perfect for storing 5 or so tins.

It's not in stock at Thinkgeek.com, but I'm sure you can find this somewhere else online.

Honest customer service! Try finding that at your local car lot!

But on a serious note: my younger brother was thinking about buying one for his desk...just in case he was drinking a beer he would open it, take whatever drinks he wanted, then stick it back in until he wanted another gulp in a few minutes...so even the last part of the can would taste like it was just out of the fridge.

Even with minimal cooling ability. I think that it would be enough that the box was insulated. If it looks cool and fits your decor and budget. Why not?

Well in my mind i thought "hmmm why not spend 30 more dollars and get a Real Mini frige that gets really cold instead of some gimmick"
read earlier post of the fridge i purchased, i am still happy with it, no complaints

It doesn't. I saw these being sold here for some time now and thought it was neat but never really bothered getting one since I had no use for it. When I got hooked on snusing (and realized I'll be doing it for a long time), I thought having one on my desk will be a cool way to keep my office snus stash chilled. I immediately bought one, placed it on my desk, popped in three cold cans and left it sitting unopened to do its job.



The next day, I touched the top can in the stack, and to my disappointment, it was noticeably warmer than before I had put it in! I could not even say it was cold! The bottom can nearest to the cooling plate felt a little cooler to the touch, but still nothing compared when it was still in the fridge. It'll be silly to compare the cooling power of this device with that of a refrigerator, but I would have expected it to at least make a can cold enough to keep snus fresh for weeks. My snus are now back in the office fridge where they can chill-out until they meet their 'savor-er'.

Snus in metal cans will probably store in colder and faster, but based on how it kept a soda can, I doubt the difference will make things much better. The Coke I left in overnight came out too warm to my liking.

The 'fridge' (BTW, it's also a warmer) makes a noticeable yet tolerable noise thanks to the fan it uses for cooling. Strangely, the fan blows the air directly out of the fridge rather than letting it flow inside the compartment to aid in cooling.

The cooling plate isn't exposed wide enough to let the base of snus cans touch it, making refrigeration for snus cans less colder and less faster than soda cans. What such a discrmination! :cry:

If it only cooled things up well, the fridge would've been cooling me a can of General and a can of Coke by now.



I'm bringing this thing at home to pimp it over the weekend.

I also said "I would suck it" in that same post. What have I become?
