WOW!!! Another new thing to try! (My Mama always told me..."You only live once".)

Do you buy these snus on line...or should I head out to my local tobacconist?



I googled both Ariva and Stonewall. All I could find was that they contain nicotine.

Do they also contain "all of those lovely minors" that the snus do?
Oh dear Lord. YOLO has come to the thread. :facepalm: :D

Both. Check local availability; I've seen Swedish snus even at gas stations, but selection is usually very limited. I used to buy my snus online directly from Sweden, but that was before PACT--now the shipping prices and taxes are prohibitive and signature is required, so it's a PITA. If you never tried snus, General mini dry portion is usually recommended. I get mine either locally or from this guy:

Lil' Brown Smoke Shack - General Snus

He used to carry both Ariva and Stonewall, but discontinued.

They most certainly do. They are very similar to snus, cured, dried whole tobacco, purified and made into dissolvable pellets.

Katya, do you just put them over the center pin and then slide them down?

Yup, I just drop them into the 510 well and make sure they are lying nice and flat on the center pin.

You may call Madvapes and ask if they would send them to you in a regular envelope (as a letter)--offer to pay for the regular stamp. They've done it for people who wanted to avoid regular shipping charges. Those things are tiny...

Ours are probably American...what's the difference?

It's made by American tobacco companies (Reynolds etc) and the process of making our snus is not quite like the Swedish method. Too complex to describe here--you can find more information on the subject in the smokeless tobacco forum I linked earlier.

Bottom line--Swedish snus is the best, the safest, and has 200-year long track record of safety and efficacy. That said, if American snus works for you, by all means, use it.

I've never used them...I'm just curious.
From my understanding of an article I read on Snus, studies conducted have found Swedish Snus to be
one of the safest "nicotine delivery" means found.
I had catagorized it as in the same league as vaping for harm reduction.
American Snus, as said above, is a little different animal...:)

To avoid similar problems in the future, I suggest getting a few of those tiny marvels...

Just sayin...

Hello to all Tootlie Puffer and ettes!
Yes and hello dear Katya! :) I received 3 the other day in an envelope. I did have to call them to do this because the only option was fedex for 10.00. (as you probably know, I posted about this at an earlier date). My oldest iStick's pin was a little neglected, early on with Nautilus minis, so I will probably be putting one of these gadgets on soon. My other 2 are still like new because I learned my lesson on my first. :)
