How many portions a day??

[tattooer601]

Hello All could anyone give a average of amounts of portions used in a average day??
Also on a stressful day........

I am wondering this to gauge my own usage
My issues are home life, financial....etc, so I wonder if I am overdoing it or not?
I have read that portions some keep in for 2 hours, some only 45 min. to a hour.........tattooer

I keep mine in between 1 and 2 hours. Some a little more some a little less. I've usually had three between 5AM and lunchtime and then another three between noon and 5PM. After that it's usually one or two at night for somewhere around 7-8 a day. When I'm really into the snuff and pv, that number goes down a bit, but overall my snus routine doesn't deviate much due to stress.

When things get hectic at work or home, I usually reach for my pv to give that more "authentic" smoking feel. Snuff I basically use as a treat and don't have any kind of fixed schedule or pattern that I've noticed. Don't know if any of that is "normal" or not, though!

thanks, I seem to use around that amount of portions.......I just keep hearing these stories of keeping a portion in for 3-4 hours.
After 1-1 1/2 hours I feel the need for a new portion.
I know its my choice, I just didn't wanna be wasteful

I use a strong (thunder extra sterk or claq qui strong) right away in the morning. I do 2-3 stonewalls during my work day. An 8mg portion in the afternoon, another strong portion in the evening, and an 8mg portion right before bed. On stressful or boring days I use and extra 4mg portion here and there. Apparently I don't like to have an empty mouth...ever.

I usually start my day with a vape when I first get up. My usage habits between snus,snuff and vape have changed several times. The cycle I'm in right now is vape when I get up and on the way to work. About 7:45 I use a t-bomb along with some snuff and maybe a little vape. At about 9:30( I know it's weird that I know what time ) I take out the t-bomb and go for a 8mg portion. Sometimes it's two before lunch. Then after lunch I vape some along with a 12mg portion and some snuff. After that it's usually two portions before work ends and then vaping on the way home. I don't snuff alot at home so the rest of the night it's mostly vape and two or three portions. The snuff usage varies from day to day. So I guess I'm at around 8 portions a day along with about a ml of liquid and some snuff.

In a year I went from 2 to 3 packs a day to 2 to 4 portions of snus (strength not important, flavor rules my decision). Really no set start time unless I'm two wheeling it where I'll usually have my first portion. Most often, morning noon, dinner and night if I have four, but it's mood rather than habit.

I vape on a less consistent basis, sometimes not at all, and I've really cut back on nic level. More for flavor than nic although on occasion I'll drip a 24 or 36mg juice for a pick me up. How the world has changed. Left home last Saturday and realized I had never taken the PV out of the jacket I wore the previous morning, so I didn't vape for about 40 hours. I did have an extra portion that day though.

My average is six a day but up to eight is possible.
A mix of strong and purified (50/50).
Doesn't really vary at all because of stress/boredom but there are random days that just don't "connect" and I feel restless like just having quit cigarettes but for no rational reason. (I don't crave a cigarette, I just have that restlessness that goes with quitting.)

Two hours is average for me but sometimes it's a dud and it goes after an hour. Other times I might keep it in for four hours* but that's not because it's doing anything really; it's more of a pacifier sort of thing. With no snus, I miss it but with a dead snus I don't notice so much.

* I was in the meeting from hell the other week, it just went on and on for hours (no breaks). I spent the whole time thanking God that I was no longer a smoker because I would have been craving crazily after two hours. With snus, even after so many hours, it was enough to keep everything under control.
