I just tried the Camel Snus Mellow at 7=11 here in America. It seemed like chewing tobacco- yuck. Is the Camel Frost Snuss any better or does it just taste like mint chewing tobacco. It said you don't have to spit so I swallowed the juice but it was bad. Took away my nic craving but I had to take it out of my mouth after 5-7 minutes. Is the swedish snuss better? Is there any snuss that dosen't taste like chewing tobacco?

Ladybug, your list has some of the snus I consider the WORST made. Begin with the Power Elyxyr. It tastes awful, hits too hard and can make you physically ill. I managed to finish the tin I ordered, but gave it an extremely negative review on snuson.com and vowed to never put another one of those in my mouth.

Stay far away from anything labeled sterk. No Thunder, ever. These are far, far too strong for you, now and probably forever. You need a General Mini Mint.

Offroad is yucky stuff, period. The Oomph Licorice/Honey is not bad; ditto the Citrus/Menthol. The Wine and Dine is tasteless and you might get along with that.

Burning of the gums is common. Hiccups are common with stronger snus. You just need to get far away from the idea that more nicotine in snus is better. It isn't and you won't likely like any of the "sterk" or "strong" varieties.

P.S. Robert, if you don't like sweet Camel, you most certainly won't like Swedish snus. They taste far more like tobacco than the Camel product. Have you ever used chew? Camel Snus really doesn't taste like any chew I know of.

No not too much chewing tobacco Red Man maybe once.

I Used Kodiak years ago for about six months in the Army friends who used Copenhagen laughed and said that was for kids.

I thought snuss might taste completely different, but just have nicotine.

Do you know what the Mint Frost Camel taste like? Vaping is not going well

I'm not a big fan of camel mellow. I went through two tins and the more I used it the worse it tasted. I liked frost better. Still to sweet for me but at least it was tolerable. Very minty.

Snus can definitely be an acquired taste for some, and taste do differ. In my humble opinion camel mellow is the worst tasting snus I know off as of yet. Over the top saccharine sweet.

If you don't like mellow some of the Swedish non-flavored snus may be good for you. Even the flavored ones are going to be nothing like mellow. For you that may be a good thing.

Who cares what anyone else thinks about your choice?

Camel Frost just tastes minty to me. I'm almost totally a vaper, but in a pinch, it helps me stay off analogs.


If vaping isn't going well for you, perhaps it is the device you are using. The feedback on the Prodigy is that it is the closest thing yet to smoking an analog. You can read the reviews here (see link below):

Yeh, but ... it does not replicate cigarette smoking. That I understand.

Robert, I tolerate both Mellow and Frost just fine, but prefer Frost. They are both very sweet products, however, with sweetener totally masking the bitter taste of tobacco. Swedish processing is completely different than that given American chew, and a product like the tasteless Wine and Dine might please you. It's very powerful, however, so beware. The nicotine sneaks up on you in about 10 minutes.

Cope for kids? Nah. Skoal Bandit is for kids. Skoal has lower nicotine, so kids don't get sick, and tasty flavors that we all now know kids love!

I tried Kodiak not Copenhage, Cope will burn a hole in yer mouth. I might try Camel Frost Snuss.

My 510 was the answer to quitting for 3 days. But the carts don't hold enough juice. I'll try re stuffing again.

I've been dripping on the 510 since last night, a little better.

I want something that works better. The prodigy and the GG have more power but still use the same carts. I want a GG with an auto feed system. Is there anything like that available yet?

My regular daily e-cig use involves a Screwdriver, JantyStick and Janty Kissbox. I really, really prefer the Kissbox over anything I've ever used. If that doesn't do you, nothing will at this time.

I rarely drip it. It does just fine on a full cartridge and fully charged battery.

I personally love the Camel Frost after a meal since it is a pretty strong mint flavor. I haven't tried the Mellow, but everyone I know has said it's icky. Unlike Bob though, I do like the offroad Coffee Vanilla portions (no longer available) and their los snus.
