Hello,
I'm on the quit mission, been vaping for a while, and just got some WTA which seems to have finally pushed me 'over the edge'. I still occasionally want to smoke, but I can ignore it. I decided to try some snus too - it's cheap enough that there's no harm giving it a shot. I have tried friends' snus on a couple of occasions - I can't tell you what brand they were, but they were traditional portions, and tobacco flavour. I found it pretty intense, but I could tolerate it, so I think I'll be OK (hence the relatively large order for a newbie). Might have been a green tin
I certainly have no intention of using it heavily (though I realise it's very safe, I would rather not get heavily into another addictive thing if I can avoid it), but hey, we'll see what happens. I've ordered a bit of a war chest, and my plan is to freeze most of it, and have a can or two in the fridge at any one time. Maybe aim to use 1 - 3 or so portions a day, as the need hits me.
I've got the following en route:
I've done a bit of research, but it would help if anyone could point out anything that stands out to them: snuses that taste particularly strong, or weak, or have a high or a low nic hit relative to what's written on the label.
Anything I should look out for, basically.
Also, any others that I haven't got that stand out as a good beginner choice? I know General and Ettan are highly regarded, but Northerner didn't ship them to the UK. I've since discovered snuscentral seem to ship to us, so perhaps I'll try an order there too.
Also, anyone from the UK know the exact details of the customs rules? I've heard from some sources that you don't get charged if the order is under £25. I've heard elsewhere that all orders can be charged (or even theoretically seized), and it's a bit of a lottery...
Thanks for any help for a new snuser.
