tried general mint, more yuck than ok

[jamesam1243]

ok, Katya and TWISTED VICTOR win, PV + snus + maybe Stonewall

76 hours with mostly snus for nicotine + PV @ 24mg (Katya + TV think that i should mix things up a little), working great so far and no urge for cigarettes but General snus really doesn't taste that good and i am getting a sore in my mouth where a bad tooth rubs against my cheek from exclusively snusing

James

August 05 smoked 00 cigs, 40 less than my usual 40 cigs a day 3278 cigarettes not smoked in 94 days by using Stonewall, Joye 510, Hello 016, Ken's BoxMod, MadVapes 2xAA Box Mod, WetBox Vaporizer (ecig) and 19 bottles of ejuice partially used , $0.28 per cig X 3278 Cigs = $917.84 diverted from cigarettes to Vaporizer (ecig). OMG I have spent over $2025.59 in 92 days on this stuff but bare in mind that my old cigarette cost was $330 a month, using snus + PV right now ( General White Portion Mint )
unfortunately i have spent $646 per month on this stuff and i make less than $960 per month, this has got level out soon, but i should have enough ecig stuff to last at least 4 months which may even things out.. i can't afford to quit right now

It takes time. Move your snus pouch to the other side of your mouth, switch to Stonewalls for a while, and hang in there. It's worth it. Anything but cigarettes. BTW, you can't afford to quit it now!

i really doubt that the 5 cigs per day is a big deal compared to my regular habit of 40 cigs a day

i just ordered $80 worth of CigRX ( 3 cartons ) i will see what they are like

jamesam, I think that from 40 to 5 is a huge accomplishment. Congratulations! It took me a long time from the time I started vaping to quit smoking and then a couple months in started smoking a little to combat the depression that had seem to set in on me. It was around then that I was led to the smokeless section by a few of the great members here. I have had some slips here and there but don't get as down on myself if/when it happens. I just hop back on the wagon and try to do better the next time. It is a long journey for each of us to find what works for us to keep the beast away and I am sure that you will find what works for you.

That's right James, you've come a long way from where you were. That's a positive no matter how you look at it. Personally, even though I'm successful with snus and PV, I still have a pack of smokes in my truck so I don't take a chance of freaking out. Having 'em there is part of it for me. Somehow, I find it's easier to decide I don't want one as long as they're available. And I can't say I blame you on the taste. I don't like any General brand snus, but some folks feel it's not real snus if it's not General. General has its own distinctive taste. I don't like salty snus either. Everybody says you get used to it, usually by the first 2 weeks, but I never gave it a chance. I guess it's best to find out what works, then figure out the most pleasant way to get it. Here's one you may find interesting: Snus - the best and the worst

I'll just echo the "elder statesmen" of the forum... cutting down from 40 to 5 is a huge accomplishment! I think for most of us, no one thing does the trick. To some degree, we all seem to feed the beast with several different tools.

Hey guys! I just picked up two cans of General White Portion unflavored, and i have to say... I LOVE this stuff. Flavorless except for a teeny bit of salt, with the nice mellow burnination of the nicotine seeping into my system. Along with my PV that showed up today, i think this will be the perfect combination for me, 1.5 PAD marlb "gold pack".

My plan so far is to use the snus in the morning with my coffee, along with some vaping, and then after meals.

That pretty much works for me. I've gotten pretty regular at four portions a day- morning, lunch time, dinner and before bedtime (give me that nice mellow dreamy drift off). But if I decide to throw and extra one or two in some days, no big deal. I'm only vaping on an off at this point and mostly for the flavor.

I like the White, but heck, I still haven't found any I disliked except Marlboro.
