But everyone has to find their own level that works. That's the trick when starting a new nicotine type delivery system. It's just going to take a bit of time to work through it and figure out what works. Perhaps best to work your way up to the stronger stuff with a bit of caution. It's not that difficult to over due it with the snus because of the slow type delivery.
I was a little apprehensive when I ordered the Lab 02 since the Thunder mini's at 8mg seemed to do so well. Glad I did as now they're usually my main use during the day. I wanna get some of the Thunder (Lightning Bolts :D) for my more, shall we say, excited moods that normally are dealt with by 02's and a barrage of 36mg vaping. But I agree Stubby, I'd recommend anyone to start low, then higher if need with snus ;).



Hi Vaporer and Happy New Year to you and yours. Seems I keep missing you since the Christmas venture. That tobacco flavoring from Flavorart, is that an absolute? Sounds like something I might like, also :).

OTD, thats a puzzle I may never figure out. One would think that being a happy 18-24mg vaper the Thunder would take my head off or a massive nic buzz. Not so. It just happens to be the best at suppressing the cravings. I must be highly nic tolerant.

Puzzle indeed as I am somewhat an opposite from you. Happy vaper at 36mg and 48mg, but snus held at 8mg portions...

As you and others have said, we each find our own.

I've still got a half a can of General Sterk Stubby. If I were to use any of that just now I'd be talking like you were last night ;)

Hard to figure. I could make sense out of the vaping mg, but the snus seems to be in a different dimension from e-liquid or cigarettes.

I thought you had that all figured out. I'm supposed to be the one without a clue. I'm far from getting a handle on it. I think I need to stabalize my snus usage first and then figure out how much I need to vape. But that's just a guess.

No, I get loster and loster, I think I'm the lostest I've been since I started vaping.

That's a good idea as you'll get the WTA you need from snus, likely a good deal more important for you then getting more purified nicotine. Don't get to lostesest in adding up all the numbers. In a few weeks you brain will naturally go for what it needs.

Thanks Stubby. That's what I'm hoping for and I think if that happens I will be ok.

Yeah, I agree Stubby. The snus is primary food for the head. I normally sport a 02 for an hour and a half or a mini for an hour and anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 in between portions. I vape when I like the idea of it or if I need an extra something for my more excitable moods. Snus has really become da poo for me :)

No, I regret to say. I still had cold feet on this past order, but thanks to you and Vaporer it's quickly becoming a "must have" on my next one. Originally, I thought it would be too strong, but now I'm dyin' to give it a shot. .....speaking of shot, I wonder if OTD is still up-right :).

Yep still standing TV. course ever since I got that shot I've had the darndest urge to go door knockin' in support of tax and spend 8-o

a2d, the bit with the vaping and snus is what I'd mentioned early on.
Your brain will tell you when to vape and when using the snus on a regular basis that won't be very often.

The taste of the Thunder extra strong wintergreen isn't the best in the world but when you conside how bad cigarettes taste the taste hasn't stopped us from smoking. The end may justify the means. All I know is that I had a growing craving so I put one in my mouth. The next thing I knew I was feeling very mellow and comfortable in my chair. Thirty minutes later I took it out because the taste had become objectionable. It did the job. It's a much bigger hit than the 02. I think having them around will be like having a safety net.

TV, you've been telling me for a long time "Get ye to the snus bar". :p

Well, you finally twisted my arm. :D

Without reading a gazillion posts on the smokeless tobacco forum, where can I get me some of this Thunder extra strong?
:rolleyes:

(BTW, I'm not giving up on e-cigs, just wanting some sanity while I continue my quest)

Rick.
