Before I use SNUS for the first time a few ?

[justboringsarah]

I am having a hard time getting the nic I need right now off vaping,so I needed something more. I grabbed a lil pack of snus from good old wallyworld(it'll probably be crap,but to try out that's OK).

So I just jam it between my gums and upper lip?
What if it makes my salivate a lot,spit or swallow?

Anything else I need to know before I try it?

Yeah put it between your upper lip and gum. Don't spit. With snus there is no need to spit. I place my portions to the rear of my mouth but you can put it anywhere on the top. What kind did you get?

 

[justboringsarah]

It's just says Marlbora Spearmint. Again I know from vaping the OTC stuff generally sucks,but this was a "I need it NOW"purchase

 

[justboringsarah]

OK,so I just threw some in my mouth,thank God the portions are small,I don't look like a baseball player with a wad of chew and it tastes a lot like spearmint gum,which I like.
Last question,is it supposed to burn?

Unfortunately the Marlboro snus is among the worst snus out there, if not the worst. Okay.... I've never actually tried them but from what I have heard you only get 6 portions per can. You get 15 portions with Camel snus (which is a slightly better snus anyways) and 24 portions with Swedish snus. The Swedish snus is by far the best way to go both for quality and number of portions. Your not likely to get much of a nicotine hit with Marlboro, it's better with Camel, and the skies the limit with the Swedes.

I have not had the Marlboro but it's common for the mint/wintergreen type snus to burn a bit for new snusers. That goes away as you get more experience. I place snus on the top close to the center (on ether side of that little flap of skin) as that's where you get the least amount of juice, but there's are no hard and fast rules. Whatever works for you is the right place to put it.

As I said, the Swedish snus is the way to go. Here's a few places to order

Northerner. Buy Swedish Snus & Snuff Online. The Healthy Smokeless Tobacco Alternative

Buy Snus, Order Swedish snus online world wide - BuySnus.com

You also may be able to find some general snus locally. I see you live in MS. That's good because I believe your state tax on smokeless is likely low. Also check out the Snuson forum.

I needed something immediately,hence the Marlboro from Wallyworld. I did like it though,but I'm curious,as I look around it looks like the SNUS available on line is so much more expensive,it almost seems cost prohibitive. I saw some for $20+ a can(28 pouches)before shipping

Where did you see those prices? Try snuscentral.com getsnus.com or northerner.com

 

[hittman]

Yeah that's crazy. Snus should be around $4 a can or less before shipping. Are you sure that wasn't a five pack or something.

Go to the sites mentioned if you want to try the Swedish snus. If you want to try camel and you can't find it, go to www.camelsnus.com/. You can register on there and I believe there is a store locator to direct you to stores in your area.

As was mentioned, Marlboro is the bottom of the food chain. I happened to leave the house without my can of SS and decided to try the Camel Mellow. Camel is not as good as SS, but I rather enjoyed the Mellow today and it did for me what I needed.

Good luck

Comparatively, Marlboro is like kissing your Aunt Velma; Camel is like phone sex; Swedish is like the fireworks in a K-Y commercial.

If you decide you wanna try out some on-line Swedish, Thunder Frosted Mini's would probably be the fireworks you're looking for .
