They both have their advantages and disadvantages here's a list i have compiled...


Portions
1. no mess
2. quicker flavor
3 place where ever in mouth
4. no mud mouth
5. can sleep with it in

Los
1. adjust size as needed/wanted
2. more per tin
3. you get to use the icetool

both
1. its Snus need I say more

DISADVANTAGES

Portions

2. cant size to preference
3. less per tin

Los

2. cant place where ever in mouth(look at disadvantage one for reason)
3. can get messy sometimes
4. can sleep with it in but risk mud mouth

NOTE: this is just from my experiences so far(ecept mud mouth from sleeping with los in, have yet had it happen to me)
feel free to add to it if you want to

I find both difficult to sleep with. Sometimes, I can fade away, but most of the time, it's too noticeable to me that I've got something under my lip. Portions are also easier to swap out. I love my lös, but it's not really something I can take out at work without people around me seeing.

Only used portions so far in my 3 months of snusing.
I'm purposely avoiding trying los.
To me, running portions are not a disadvantage, I like it.
Running portions = Good
Running sores = Bad

[RRK]

Other then the ice tool part making your own portions out of los covers all of those.

Um, not sure if this was what you were getting at, but there is no correlation between lossnus and oral sores. I think you may be confusing it with dip. American dip, in addition to being fire-cured and fermented, has chemicals added by Big Tobacco, which, I believe, cause the sores associated with dip lip. Lossnus is steam-cured and has no such additives, therefore, no dip lip. Snusdog could explain the differences much better than I.

[groverthesnake]

Uh, no, that wasn't what I was getting at.
Just a bad joke, sorry.

[GENERAL BILLY]

I can understand why people prefer loose. I made the decision to stick mainly to regular portions and use loose once or twice a month because loose is a lot more likely to cause gum recession. I have spent enough time in the dentist chair regretting bad habits for one lifetime.

[snusjus]

At least for me, I actually place prillas of los farther to the side; the same position where I place portions. I have never experienced mudmouth or any of the horror stories others have described.

[Veganpunk]

I prefer portions, but I have to have at least one pris a day. Snus is snus, no matter if there's a bag involved or not!

[Karanya]

For the most part, it's gotta be portions for me. I just don't have time to dick around with los while I'm working and I work far too much.

That said, I'm liking the los when I have time to fiddle with it.
