having doubts

[deebocools]

I've been snusing for about 8 months, It's been great. but I've been alternating between american dip and snus recently.

They just "hit" different. I've tried los snus, and it was still a bit different than american dip. I don't think this is all in my head, but it could be.

So I use grov black almost exclusively, perhaps I'm having that "sterk burnout", but everytime I use one, the juice almost makes me gag and then I spit it out in like 20 mins. I need to do it cause withdrawal sucks, but it's almost like I'm not enjoying it any longer.

using regular portions is not much better.

it's in the back of my mind to try to quit nicotine(knowing I could always go back if I please) but maybe I could also just use american dip sparingly(I'm using grizzly, it's just about as cheap)

another option is going to minis, but I really didn't like them before, and I feel like it's a bad value at just about the same price for only 20/tin.

thoughts?

If you don't enjoy it, don't do it. That's why I quit cigs, I just didn't like them anymore...

Maybe you need a break.

You could try some chewing tobacco for a change, Oliver Twist and some of the other European twists might be more to your liking.

deebocools, I had a similar experience when I hit about a year using. Suddenly, the juices just started making me gag, I was having to spit ioout in as fast as 10 minutes even.

It wasn't a nicotine issue, it was just the juices. Was then I switched almost completely over to Whites, and problem solved for me. Another year + since then, I am still happy.

I've been alternating between regulars, whites, and los so I don't get burned out. Maybe you need a break and just dip for a bit, or it could be something as simple as switching to whites like Sage said. Bottom line don't force yourself to do something you don't enjoy! 8)

Good luck!

Glad I'm not alone with the problem of gagging taste from regulars. I quit cigarettes with them but switched to white portions, then white mini portions and -- problem solved.

I second the suggestion to try Oliver Twist. To me, those are stronger and faster-acting than the snus I've tried. I use them sparingly, but the nic hit is pronounced and the regular flavor has a great tobacco taste.

My order of Ettan and Oliver Twist came yesterday, so my spirits are up despite the FDA bill being signed.
