Trying very first snus now (and yes, I'm a female)

[TropicalBob]

Cashmere: To my knowledge, there is only only one tasteless snus. Wine & Dine. And it has a kick unlike any other. It's fast and hard, but you taste nothing. Do not be deceived by its "mere" 6mg rating for nicotine. It kicks harder than 16mg, which is more like "time release".

These are dry portions, so I like to dip one in Creme de Cocoa or Kahlua liquor before using it.

Wine & Dine, Gourmet (6mg), swedish snus, tobacco, white mini, portion, nicotine, purified, snus

I went ahead and ordered the free pack from getsnus.com more out of curiosity than anything. I've chewed tobacco (dip and spit) before, and I never got any feel that I was getting nicotine. I just wanted a cigarette that much more--to make up for the lost time while chewing. Actually, I was doing both at the same time now that I think of it.

How do we do it? We pop one in and smile of course! I must just like intense flavors...I love the Camel Frost! You definitely wouldn't want to try General Wintergreen then if you thought the Camel was strong...but the General Mini Mints might be just the thing to try. Seems like everyone mentions that particular snus! (pssstttt...it's really really gooooooood)

Lordy ... It brought tears to my eyes it was soooooo strong !!!! I may have to give it another go one of these days!!!

Awww... That may be just the ticket! Thanks TB!

Snus is slow release, which means the nicotine level in the bloodstream gradually rises and gradually declines. Whereas with analogs, the nicotine level is a sharp upward peak or spike in the bloodstream, which leaves as quickly as it comes. So you don't get the same nicotine spike with snus as one might with analogs.

Exactly. If you keep it for a full 30 minutes in your mouth you will definitely feel it. Since I alternate with it (meaning I probably still have nicotine in my system left from previous vaping) I get a massive kick I'm still learning how to use it.

I didn't insert it properly once and it was on the side of my mouth and saliva was running through it and dripping to my throat and it killed my throat for a good hour even after i spit it out.

I was at a Fleetwood Mac concert last Thursday and since I didn't vape for a good while I was craving nicotine. Slipped it in and I was totally high off of it (using general mini mints). Even well after I finished with it, I didn't have any urge for nicotine for a good two hours. So one was enough for the whole two and a half hour concert for me. But that's just my body.

This thread got me curious, so I just ordered the free sample to see what it's like. I don't ever want to smoke a tobacco cigarette again, and this looked like another "backup" option to explore. And yes, I'm a female too

[TropicalBob]

What did you order? Mini mint? That's important. Be sure to come back and tell us your experience. If at first you aren't crazy about it, try it again in a day or so. With the right snus, chances are good you'll really like it and be satisfied from an addiction standpoint.

I chose the free "General Introductory Sampler Snus" option from getsnus.com so I could try the different varieties before I decided if I wanted to buy any. Vaping is keeping me extremely happy so far, so I'm thinking even if I like the snus it would still just get used in case of nicotine emergency. I am admittedly worried that one day I will drive off without my vaping goodies and not have time to drive back, or the power to my house will go out so I can't use my passthrough *gasp!* and all my batteries will be dead (or something!) and then I'll be left with no easily obtainable substitutes that work besides cigs. Do you know if snus can be left in a car for a decent amount of time without getting nasty, or is it one of those products that requires a cool, dry place?

[Elwin]

It can dry out pretty quick in a hot car...

[TropicalBob]

"Regular" snus needs refrigeration. Whenever you are not using it, keep it cold. Dry snus can be carried in pocket or purse, but I wouldn't leave any snus (or e-liquid) in a hot car.

Hope you find a variety you enjoy. They are my go-to nicotine sources in many public places where I simply don't want the hassle involved with looking like I'm illegally smoking. Much, much easier to pop a snus in place and lean back and enjoy life.

Let the "smoking anywhere" rebels ruin it for us all if they must. Snusers will survive.

Received my first order today. I got General White , and Oomph citrus/menthol.

So far, I like both. I'm not sure if these are dry or regular. Sorry for the noob question, but how do I know?
