Los V. Portion

[riemer]

misogyny... nice word. way to go with sticking up for the women.

[Starcadia]

I'm sorry, are all sexual matters considered misogynistic these days?

Perhaps we should have a topic about the birds and the bees. :roll:

I was a hardcore los man, but my hands get covered in oil, invert, mud and other chemicals and crap found in the oil and gas industry (i work for an instrumentation company. Most days i am installing equipment and developing software for drilling rigs, large scale plants and even mines. When i am in the field testing new products thats where this cat gets dirty).

Anyway since i am a cheap asshole i haven't purchased an icetool yet. So i had to use portions. I started to fall in love. Then i got a prismaster for my dirty days at work. Then well my affair with portions was exciting at first but i knew it would never last.

I am at the point where portion material almost makes me gag.

I find that with portions there is less flavor at first (well of course). But all in all tastes colse to the same as los but just a little muted.

Dude, with the amount of extra cash you spend for potions (especially on a price per gram basis), your Icetool will pay for itself very quickly.

That's absolutely correct. There aren't too many downsides to lös. Sometimes portions are more convenient, but for mouth feel, and economics, lös+IceTool is hard to beat.

Hey lxskllr, is it necessary to finish the pris off with a kind of mini-bake with the icetool, like with the prismaster? (I'm talking about those annoying edges you get)

Not at all. Other than brushing off the sides of the IceTool, the snus never touches my hand. I just fill it, and inject it.

[Raddleman]

Sounds good, thanks. Icetool or bust.

I would say that I agree with these statements.

During the week for me, it is mainly portion for the ease of use and easy removal with nothing left in my mouth.

I can't take the chance of explaining something at work, with the possibility of bits or juice running down my teeth.(tobacco free environment!)

On the weekend at home, it it mainly loose (Skruf stark or Ettan) and my Icetool.

I like them both and agree the loose feels most comfortable. (Glad to be able to use them both)

It's official, I'm ordering some los in my next order. I've found that the white portions have been making my lip sore, figured the los would have better mouth feel. Thanks for the info

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Welcome to snuson rickcharles606! Hope you like the loose.

[deebocools]

I'm all about portions.

Even though los is more tobacco total, I use it up faster and don't feel any better for doing so.

although you can get alot of mileage out of loose after practice, I just like the simplicity of portions, I know exactly how much is being used, it's not going to escape or migrate inb my mouth, fall out of my fingers while baking, or tip over the edge of the can.

There's also just an emotional element. If I open up a can of los, It looks like soil and I wonder what the hell I'm doing. A can of portions is much more inviting.

[sagedil]

As I have long said. I think of every little portion as my new best friend. i just don't get nearly that same satisfaction with los.

But still planning on doing another los exploration sometime in the next few months. But I really suspect nothing will ever compare with the love affair I am having with portions.

[snusX]

I love los snus and wish I could use it all the time but I have to be very discreet in my snus usage around most people I know. The majoirty of people I've tried explaining snus to just don't get it and usually just end up considering it 'dip'.

I usually only use mini portions in class and at work (and in most public situations). I use los almost every night after work for a few hours. Every night when I get off, I can't wait to get home and throw in a nice fat pris!

[spirit72]

los is superior to portions?? Excuse me??? Be very careful to not spark a forum war here. Yeah, the los users prattle on about how much they love it. But I suspect the silent majority here use portions, and some of us, after rather extensive testing, really think portions are WAY better.

Yeahhh, but WE get to say that we're Lösers. And that's just cool. :wink:
