How many portions a day do you use? What mg?

[Brewster 59]

So I use to start my morning with a 16 Mg thunder and taper down to 8mg through out the day and use 4-6 portions a day.

I recently read a post from TB saying he was trying to mimic his smokless intake to what it was while smoking. I thought about this and noticed when starting the day with 16 mg I felt almost stoned and decided to give TBobs method a try, I actually like this better and have more energy so now I start the day with 8mg and taper down to 4mg but use more portions during the day. So I start the day 8mg and 6-8 4mg a day.

I always start the day with 12mg or a sterk. Then I alternate between 8mg and 12mg over the course of the day. I use probably 7-8 a day plus snuff.

8mg thunder mini in the a.m., followed by 4mg minis 4-8 per day, 1-2 snuffs, and maybe an analog or two.

I'm at around 6 a day give or take. Plus a few drags every so often during the day from my pv

So how do the analogs taste to you. I had one today and it taste the same to me as it always did. I read about people who say they cant stand the taste now, not so for me. I cant buy them though cuz if I have them I will smoke them, just how it is for me.

 

[firechick]

They taste the same. I never thought they tasted good, just necessary!
I figure 1 or 2 a day is still far better than 1-2 packs, and it's hard to not light up when I have to take my break with smokers who just can't seem to get over the e-cig in my face.

5-7 portions and mostly they're (8 mg)..yikes, no they aren't. Only about 4-6 mg. - guess that's what happens after I finally found the tastes I like

Well, then that explains a lot of snuff and I'm really liking the Oliver Twists in between and Ariva and Stonewalls occasionally.

Off to get that 8 mg. General Mint now.

Over the past 45 days:

average of 5.62 portions per day (low of 4, high of 7)
average of 10.18 mg per portion (low of 4, high of 17)
average of 57.22 mg per day (low of 44 mg, high of 69 mg)

average 1.0 hr each portion
average 1.5 hrs between portions

Almost always starting the day with an Ekstra Sterk.

A little vaping used throughout as a sort of touch-up brush on the day's "nic portrait".

8 mg max for me, the Extra Sterks put me in a coma....

6 to 10 a day

 

[Caesarea]

On a heavy work day have had 3 Mini Mints (3x4mg)
Usually 1 or 2 per day. Usually mini portions. Sometimes none for a few days when on holiday.

Definitely a light user. But it does away with the constant vaping I would otherwise do.
The snuff also gives the opportunity for variety. I'd be bored and not satisfied if I was just vaping.

I've been using four to five portions a day normally. Most are 8mg with the occasional t-bomb thrown in when I get a bad craving. To me it is like TV said, the t-bombs seem to distribute the nicotine pretty fast. Brewster, I too have the occasional cigarette and they don't taste bad to me either. I figure if I tell myself that I absolutely can't have one then that will make me want it that much more. I try not to have them very often but sometimes it just hits the spot. I don't think that I would ever go back to smoking full time. I try to fight the cravings the best I can and it usually works but I have given up on getting down on myself when I do have one.

I'm holding steady at 6 to 9 a day. 8mg portions.

I dont think theres any reason to get down on yourslf about having a cig now and then. I personally cant buy them because I have a problem with moderation so the way I keep from smoking is not to buy them. Im pretty happy with snus, I would like snuff more but its pretty mean to me, my nose runs, it gives me the sneezes and vaping is a once in a while thing cuz I think it is a huge pita.

I use 4 portions a day. I was a pack a day ultra light smoker. I start with an 8mg in the morning, one stonewall and one ariva during my work day, 4mg snus on my drive home, 8mg snus in the evening, and 4mg snus right before bed. I didn't use to do the right before bed one, but I found when I don't I wake up in the night and worry about stuff. So that would be 29.5 mg nic a day...how much of that is absorbed? Like, half maybe?

 

[W Axl Rose]

BTW, what was it TV said about using them like his cig habit?? I missed that post. I find there is not a large part of my day without snus or a stonewall in my mouth. Is it that way for anyone else? I don't vape or smoke analogs.

 

[Dredbull]

man I realise portion at 8mg do nothing but throw me into a foul mood...ok foul mood is already there.

12-17mg los is the sanity answer

It was TB and the jist of it was trying to keep his intake like it was when he smoked. So instead of using 16 mg for say 4 hrs he would use 4mg more often. Anyways thats what I got from it instead of using 16 in the morning I use 8 and instead of using 8 during I switched to using 4 but use it more often to keep from getting a big nic hit all at once.

I like the higher nic as well but it seems to put me in the fog anyways its just an experiment sometimes the fog aint such a bad thing.

 

[TWISTED VICTOR]

8-o...you guys use the nicotine laced stuff 8-o.

 

[Dredbull]

if it is lacking in vitamin n it does belong in one's face.

without nic and you see me on the national news about a rampaging berserker tearing up the town.
