High Nic. Not fun

[elmos]

I had some odens Extra stark, and beganing doing it quite a lot. After dumping the priss which I kept in for about forty minutes. I would get quesey and start puking. just thought I would warn any newbies who decide to jump up a few fast notches.

The 'extra sterks' must be treated with some respect. They're big guns. :wink:

[justintempler]

You must be atleast this high to get on this ride..... :lol:

I remember those experiences, I never got as far as puking though.

Unless you are trying to quit smoking, I just dont see how people can chain snus the extra sterks all day. I really can't feel any difference in satisfaction between 8mg and 16mg but I will get side effects such as headaches and insomnia. I still have a sterk when I get up and after lunch though.

I have chain snussed 8 mgs before but really haven't noticed anything other than I can't get that nicotine high no matter how hard I try sometimes. Also, the mini's seem to work fine for me most of the time and I stick with those most of the day without a problem. I am thinking that the nicotine kick is directly related to usage. I remember running out of smokes and then getting a nicotine blast after having one hours later or getting a headache after killing a pack in a few hours while playing at a casino. I have never really gotten sick and vomited from nicotine but I imagine everything has its limits. I haven't tried the extra strength portions because I will probably get used to them and they will become my regular snus.

I agree it isn't fun, but it depends on how long you've been using how much tobacco. My goal is to keep using snus often enough to enjoy it, but not so often that I will ever need to try any extra stark or double barreling.

[deadohsky]

So far i have had no ill effects. The only ES i've tried is General; 4-5 portions. As of now, only used it while drinking or first thing in the morning.

I used a lot of starks and extra-sterks, double-barreled and all the rest of it, at first. I was a 2+-pack-level smoker, and coffee (and food, and everything else under the sun) served as a trigger. I liked Oden's ESO lös and General Ekstra Sterk lös, and, later, also General ESP with my morning coffee.

I liked (and still like) Skruf Stark, Claq Qui, N&J, Onyx, Grov Svart, General Sterk... really liked General ESP and ESO very much. A couple of months ago, Röda Lacket was a little hard to taste, but Claq Qui hit the spot. Now, Röda has plenty of flavor, and the Claq, while still tasty, is a bit strong for me.

Minis seemed kind of pointless to me a month or two ago. Now I use them and enjoy them, particularly the Taboca strongs, but General and LD minis are good, too. I tend to use a few minis and a few regular-size portions throughout the day at the moment. I use some lös here and there as well, but usually a pretty small amount, maybe a click, click and a half in IceTool terms, although I only use that part of the time.

I do still largely chain snus, but I have noticed I can go a while without a snus and not freak out or fall apart, so I space them out on occasion. I'm glad my tolerance level seems to be drifting downward, as I must have been pretty close to my upper limit.

I was never a regular oral tobacco user before I got on snus, wasn't a regular smoker for a long time either, I mean, I used to be a regular smoker, but quit a while back, and would only smoke during occasional binge drinking. I was curious about Camel snus when I heard about it, and thought I'd try it, and it made me ill, nasaus, sweaty, ugh... and I was work :cry: I later got some Swedish snus, but it made me feel ill too, didn't puke, but I sure felt like it. I quit snus, got into nasal snuff. The I tried snus again, and this time, it did not make me feel ill. Now I use sterks maybe 3 times a day, and the Thunder used to really hit, but now it doesn't seem to.

There does seem to be a huge difference between brands even if they are the same strength. I barely notice any nicotine with Camel or Discreet and can probably double barrel those with ease. The General Original Portions seem about right and keep me going. Whats odd is I really like Granit Mini Portions (my current favorite) and Oomph 3 mg. portions (My 2nd choice) and they both keep me going without a problem. The General Mini Originals seem weaker and do not really do the job. My guess is that there is something else besides the nicotine in snus that delivers the kick and the amount of nicotine is not all that important. I have not tried nasal snuff in a long time. I do remember it having a quick nicotine kick but leaves a nasty taste in the back of your throat all day.

I like regulars and minis, easy for me to get a nic high now

First hand right here man. Just received my first order of Snus from across the pond yesterday. Ordered the Roll of 10 random cans to start. Picked one at random today. It was Thunder Blue, Extra Stark. Really had no idea what to expect. Had it in my mouth not five minutes and I was numb all over. Fell flat out of my chair and if it wasn't for strong presence of mind, I have no doubt my lunch would have been all over the floor. Took a little over an hour to get back up. Horrible nausea and a splitting headache.

Horrible nausea after using Thunder Blue...no way :wink: Yes, that was sarcasm...Thunder Blue is the WORST snus ever made if you ask me, yuck. So feeling sick to your stomach would be normal for that stuff :P

But back on track...I seem to chain snus regular and mini portions all the time, along with some los. As long as it keeps me from getting into the butts again, I'll keep it up. Think it's more that I don't dare go without it yet for more than a few minutes. I thought that the Starks would be too much for me, but they're not...I use them after I eat since that's when I always had to light up and is always the hardest one to give up.

The definitely sounds like something I need to try! It could be my morning and after work snus.
