    Is there anything to flavor up snus?

    Since I've made some of my own flavorings for my e-cigs, I know there must be a way to add different flavors to your snus too. If there is, what is the best stuff to use to do this? I have around 6 flavors from Loranns that I use for custom flavors for my e-cigs, but they're very highly concentrated. Could the same stuff still be used to flavor snus or is there something else that's preferred?

    Here's a list of all the ingredients in Swedish Match's snus.

    I'm sure you can get a few ideas there. 8)

    Disolve your flavor(s) in ethanol to make it easy to distribute the flavor evenly thoughout your mixture and let the alcohol evaporate away to leave just the flavor.

      Looks like I have pretty much what's needed, even the propylene glycol, thanks!

          Actually if anyone is serious about trying cola snus here's a source for flavors.

            Snus is traditionally flavored with essential oils. I personally recommend this company's essential oils.

                You can put piece of apple to the can and leave it there about 48 hours.

                I got a nice apple-taste to my ettan lös. ^^

                  I might try this with the retro portions I have. No one seems to want them from the exchange and I don't like them. Ive got some in my desk and I try to like them at least once a day and they taste like the way old musty magazines smell. (I know some of you guys love em!)

                    I like to put a few drops of brandy on my Rothbrix portion. Enhances the flavor, I think. I use a small medicine dropper (new, of course)

                      HAHA, boy do I have the answer for you!

                      McCormicks flavors.

                      I myself use anise, cinnamon, mint, almond, rarely rum because it doesn't taste like rum to me.

                      I add anywhere between 3-6 drops to a full tin shake it up and let it set, usually I start with a few drops and day by day add a drop if it needs more flavor.

                      hope this helps, I certainly love Ettan with cinnamon, I even added more cinnamon flavor to my Kanel extra sterk.

                        Anyone got any tips on flavorings for GB #2?

                        I am planning ahead in case there is ever a ban on importing snus and I'll be damned if I go without it :P

                        I have looked for juniper flavoring and haven't found any and I have looked for elderberry flavorings and come up empty on both!
