I'm getting to good at baking

[ddandb]

Now I'm not going to have an excuse to buy an Icetool.

Quick, give me some reasons I have to have it.

[bakerbarber]

Clean hands.

Ultimate coolness too.

[deebocools]

there's no reason. save your money and buy exotic snuses

[Jason]

I still have not taken the plunge (pun intended), but I will definitely get one in the near future. I like being able to form my own pris in any shape I want....that's probably the main reason why I have not purchased one yet.

I still don't mind it, but many people here will tell you that hand baking gets old after a while.

[Soft Morning, City!]

I have an Icetool and I use it frequently. That being said, I've always kept up my hand baking skills. I probably use my Icetool 70% of the time.

Seriously, even if you do wind up buying an Icetool, don't completely give up on hand baking. It's a skill that's come in handy for me many, many times. You'll see. One day you'll be caught someplace with a can of loose and no Icetool and you'll be real glad you kept your bake in practice.

[hoss]

Speed my friend. Speed. Sometimes you need a pris in NOW. Not a minute from now, but now. Icetool, boom, done.

I think I have made it clear lately that I LOVE portions. Yet even I plan on buying an Icetool before my next lös experiment. I just know it will make the whole experience as good as it can be. And as others have said, it is just SO cool.

And one other point. Our lovely home here is because of the kind makers of the Icetool. So supporting them, being able to "pay back" just a little for all the most amazing and wonderful times I have had participating here sounds like a small, small price to pay.

Damnit sage, now I feel bad for never having purchased an Icetool. Methinks I'll be adding one to my next order.

[sagedil]

Most definitely NOT trying to make anyone feel bad. At the same time, at least for us vets here, I think it is a consideration. I mean, I think it's a bit silly for me to buy an Icetool as I don't ever really expect to use much lös. But I am SO grateful for what ice and Icetool have done to make our home here, they simply deserve a bit of my snus money

So yeah, I was hoping to spur a few folks to maybe get one by making sure someone voiced that perspective.

I've always kind of wanted one anyway. Had to quit smoking pot many years back but I miss the paraphernalia.

[sagedil]

I'm so sorry about that. I do smoke a bit less than I once did but can simply not fathom the idea of not smoking.

I rarely, rarely drink. I always just tell people that alcohol is just not my drug of choice. That always raises a few eyebrows. :wink:

But I totally agree about the paraphernalia angle. A BIG reason why I want an Icetool before I try lös as I think it will help with the whole ritual part.

Same here, man. I've gotten my tolerance down to a pretty low level and smoke less than I once did, but I don't think I could ever give up pot completely. I could comfortably go the rest of my life without ever getting drunk again, but NEVER ask me to give up the good herb.

Honestly, if I had to pick, I'd pick pot over snus. It would probably be the hardest decision ever, but at the end of the day it's just got to be pot.

Thankfully I don't think it will ever come to that.

Never say never. Tobacco is getting criminalized, while weed is going the other way. In a few years, you'll be going to the city and buying dime bags of snus... Right after you stop at the liquor store to pick up a quarter of weed :^D

[sagedil]

And even better, they go together so well.

I first tried pot when I was 14 (the day the US beat the Soviets in hocky at the 1980 Olympics. :lol:

I did a bit here and there for the next 8 years. But when I was 22, I almost killed myself after getting badly drunk one night I was too depressed to drink. That REALLY scared me. I decided that day that pot was a much safer, for me atleast, alternative. But it still wasn't for another 3 years before I made a decision when i was 25 to smoke every day. I had just learned that pot was healthy for me. It pushed down the very bad type A side of me that was really bad at making me friends. I was just a much better, far more tolerable person when I smoked.

Over the years, I have taken breaks here and there. Most often, when looking for new work. My last break a year ago finally taught me why post was so critical for me. With pot, I forget about all that happened yesterday and just focus on the here and now and the future. Without it, I get caught in regret loops that never do anything for me. But as soon as I smoke, that stops and I can see clearly what is right in front of me and what is coming down the pike. I am forever grateful for that perspective that pot gives me.

In many ways, I think I have now just learned to think that way and probably could walk away without too much regret. I love my snus. It would be a hard choice. One I never expect to have to make.

Found me a good reason.

I've been getting braver with Los and was using some today outside of the confines of my house for the first time.
At work with it, nobody knew. Came time to get rid of it, went to the bathroom, swished some water around in my mouth, no problems.
Got in the car to come home and made a nice little Pris and......
Now what do I do with the juice on my hand and little crumbs of tobacco?
At home I just wash my hands.
Now I have a problem. Well, now it's my wife's problem because I wiped my hand on my pants.
Must have an Icetool.

Hmmm. If I settle for black I can have it Tuesday if I get it from Getsnus. If I want it in champagne, the color I really like, I'll have to wait 2 weeks for Northener.

Quick, someone give me a reason I need two of them.
And why is it again I need the metal box to keep my Snus in?
