    Beginners Guide to Snus

    Stubby -- this is great. I'm still learning! I'm sure this will be useful for many.

    Using mixed herbal infusion tea, to reduce nicotine fixation ?

    So same # of cigarettes, less overall nicotine? Do cigarettes themselves feel any different in terms of satisfaction, etc on this cocktail? I had a cigarette a few nights in a row this week, for the first time in about three weeks. I just realized this may be associated with an MAOI dose...

    Skoal Pouches

    Aw...I miss it here too. In a drama-free nutshell, it's been a winter that proves Murphy's Law for me. A few cigarettes along the way but I'm maintaining alright. Just hoping the spring brings better. I agree on the General Mint. The Minis are nice and discreet.

    Skoal Pouches

    If it's just dip in a pouch, then you're dealing with something that has higher carcinogen levels than Swedish snus. From what I can tell (as a total amateur reading this stuff) the TSNAs start out much higher with American dip/chew, they don't just increase over time; whereas snus processing...

    Giving snus/snuff a go. Any suggestions?

    Yep :D No one else's posts make me laugh out loud like TV's. Really, I want to see him write Essays on Life. Sounds like your average narrow-minded 'bacco policy. Sure, some people might find it disruptive to have vapor or spit inside, but snus is completely 'internal' and discreet. Sigh...

    Giving snus/snuff a go. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to this land, firechick! :D The beauty of snus and snuff is it's pretty inexpensive to try several different types (at this point...before they start taxing the devil out of them). My recs are not going to be so useful as my nicotine tolerance is fairly low at this point - like...

    Using mixed herbal infusion tea, to reduce nicotine fixation ?

    I believe (as I imagine you do too) in science-based medicine - a way of thinking and questioning based on plausibility and evidence - and unlike some alt-med modalities, herbs can have plausible mechanisms of action. So I don't think it's incompatible with your skepticism that you're getting...

    E Liquid To Aid In Sleep

    Don't bother with paying for Tylenol PM. The "PM" in Tylenol PM is just an antihistamine -- it's diphenhydramine HCl, exact same drug as Benadryl, so each capsule is the same as taking 1 (25mg) Benadryl + 1 (500mg) Tylenol...and unless you're in pain, you don't need the Tylenol part. (Nyquil...

    How to deal with mentall ill friend

    Good point. Guess I didn't make that clear enough from my post that what I was saying was a vague assumption. It's important to remember none of us are doctors or psychologists, and even if we were, it's impossible to diagnose off the Internet....even if it were a first hand account. And...

    How to deal with mentall ill friend

    I'm with MacArthurBug. The avoidance of eye contact and inability to read conversational tone or lack of empathy (leading to sarcasm, impatience, etc.) sounds like a form of the autism spectrum (such as Aspergers). It doesn't sound much like medicated schizophrenia, or substance abuse or...

    Bad Blank Cartomizers Alert

    Wouldn't the idea behind using coke be that the acid will dissolve build-up? (I can't imagine the sugar helps anything, though. Maybe diet coke?) If that's the case, I imagine a citric acid solution in water could do the same. I can't think of any safety concerns around citric acid; it's a...

    I tried Snus this week

    TV & Stubby are two of our informal authorities here ;) and I'm just a relative noob/light user myself, but I thought I'd share some data I could find. Chewing tobacco. Dip. Sometimes "moist snuff". etc. Bad stuff. Fire/heat cured. Linked to oral cancer, etc. No CO or tar in your lungs, but...

    Bad Blank Cartomizers Alert

    I'm going to order some blanks from LeCig and see how they do. You've got me intrigued. How's the draw on their D1 auto battery? I'm finding KR808 autos to be far too airy compared to 510/306 autos, and I have to pull like crazy to activate the battery. Synth, it drives me nuts not to know...

    Birds and Vaping (bird owners please read)

    I'm not sure I get the same conclusion, at least from this story. Like smoking, this is something I would not do around small pets, full stop. Separate rooms and some kind of ventilation. (I have no idea if air filters trap vaporized nicotine -- but I wouldn't bet a life on it.) With larger...

    Bad Blank Cartomizers Alert

    I'm talking about V4L here: ...So, me too. Fine cartos otherwise; reliable. It's not quite as strong as the blister-pack taste/odor. It goes away with airing out, at least I found so. It's possible, I just thought, that some people pick up this taste/smell more than others, for whatever...

    Bad Blank Cartomizers Alert

    I have cartomizers from seven different vendors at this point and am trying to keep track of their performance over time. So far I have not found significant differences in death rate, DOA rate or burn liability, despite that some are closer-packed and some are looser-packed wicks. I notice...

    How to mail samples?

    Boiling might eliminate more of it. Didn't want to scare you! Just reporting what I'd experienced -- I know I'm sensitive to whatever underflavor was in the DK liquids I'd tossed. Shipping from US Plastics seems crazy, yeah, but ultimately I find I pay $0.25-0.50 a bottle which is decently...

    How to mail samples?

    Plastic retains the smell of whatever's been in it more strongly than, say, glass, and if it was 'nasty' liquid, reuse might leave the refill liquids a bit skunky too, or at least leave a fair amount of smell and taste from the previous one if it was strong. Just my experience -- I tried...

    Wow, that's wonderful, leaford! So many healthier pets out there, I'm sure, thanks to your company and others like it -- another reminder that people are saving more lives than their own.
