vaping snus - have you tried it?

[Hotwire]

I am going to try snus as the pv isn't giving me whatever it is i need to stop smoking. The nicotine buzz alone just doesn't seem to be enough in the evenings and gives me insomnia and a rushing / pulsing in my ears.

I am going to try tastier flavors with low nic around 6mg also which might get rid of the need for snus as i like vaping in the day but hate the insomnia and raised heartbeat it gives me at night where i can hear my heartbeat strongly in my ears.

I figure with snus we are getting all of the tobacco alkaloids which are missing from e-liquids, as well as the maois.

Tropicalbob did a video on youtube that i saw where he soaked a snus pouch in vg. another reviewer tried it with pg.

they rated the vapor proudcion and th etc but never really talked about whether or not it beat standard e-liquids for satisfaction / cravings etc.

anyone else tried it and care to comment?

also how much nic would you get from that?

Also - could you soak a snus in a 11mg usa mix / other tobacco flavor juice to get the whole tobacco alkaloids and keep a decent nic level if just a snus in vg or pg yields low nic levels?

thanks

I tried a 3mg Oomph portion soaked in 24mg menthol. The flavor was ok but I didnt really get the same affect that I do from just using snus. Not to mention, it's a bit of a pain in the .... getting the portion into the cartridge.

I think you can put snus in a iolite unit (as well as tobacco). Might check some old threads on this.

I see you got over this was HW, glad to see you made it. I'd recommend just trying the snus the way it was intended. I tried to find info on Korea and snus's legality but didn't find anything one way or the other. I'd check out the online sites like

Look for starter packs, grab bags, things that will give you a variety. When I started I got a 10 can starter from Northern that gave me a feel for what was available. I found that I liked just about anything and have a freezer full of lots of different portions. Once you find out how you feel about it you can go from there. I loved PVs when I started, but couldn't get rid of ciggies altogether. I was smoking 2-3 packs a day and got down to about 6 a day with my PV which started to edge up after six months. That's when I found Ss. In two weeks, I'll have gone a year without a puff on a smoke for the first time in 43 years.

I only have four or five portions a day and I'm happy. Others haven't had as much success, but everyone's different. Once you get started, just like with PVs, if you have a question, just ask. Good luck.
