Stonewall solution

[angelique510]

I recently got some java Stonewalls. (Thank you to everyone who recomended them!!) The taste took some getting used to, but it grew on me. And I think they make me feel better - I haven't been using them long enough to say for sure. But they are too big and take forever to disolve. I guess I don't want that much of a commitment. LOL

So I dug out a pill splitter that I had. You can get them at any drug store for a couple of bucks. Sammons Preston - Apex Pill Splitter Or just use a very sharp knife, but that is a bit messy. I cut a pack of them into quarters and keep them in a little lip balm tin. Beeswax Lip Balm Tin by Burt's Bees - FC-1026 - at The Vitamin Shoppe

It works out very well for me. I can have a little bit of "tobacco" a dozen or more times during the day. It is much more like what I was used to with analogs.

P.S. I know the Ariva has a lot less nicotine - are they smaller in size than the Stonewalls?

angelique.....never really gave any thought to cutting them in half(or quarters)I can usually handle a whole portion...but your right..they do last for awhile.I believe the Ariva is the same size as the Stonewalls...but as you mentioned less Nic! I hope the "reduced" portions contine to do the job for you!! Good Luck!The Wiz!

How does this work. Does it dissolve in your mouth. How much tobacco does it have in it.

Hi Martha - Here is an info. page I found on the product which includes a Video, other testing, and comparisons to other smokeless tobacco products.
Stonewall - Tobacco Products

Thanks for the link, Hellen. Now I just need a biochemist to explain it all to me. LOL Or one of the very knowledgeable people on this forum. <grin>

There is a lot of talk about Stonewalls having "low levels of tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs)” <I'm clueless> The assumption is that I am jonesing for the MAOIs that are in analogs. Does the processing of disolvables affect this? Will I get the same missing "stuff" from the Arivas with lower nic, so that I don't overdose while vaping? Should I lower the nic in my juice?

It brings up tons of question. The "missing stuff" might not even be in tobacco at all. It could be the additives from "big tobacco." I remember having withdrawal symptoms when I switched from an RJR analog to an all natural indian analog.

Neuropharmacology is a facinating subject. I should have gone to school to study that when I was 18. For now, I am using the scientific method of try-it-and-see-if-it-works.

I really am developing a taste for these java flavored ones, though.

Cool to hear your working out the kinks with the stonewalls angelique.

Alkaloids that are/serve as MAOI's = good, nitrosamines = bad. I don't even try to go deeper than that. If I do my head hurts.

How much of what to use? Uncharted territory mainly from everyone being different in what they want/need/can tolerate. So KISS and focus on one thing at a time is what I like to do.

You know what you get from vaping and the Stonewalls are new. So focus on the Stonewalls. Use em', let the vape set aside, see how ya feel. Little bit at a time add some vape to your usage while keeping a focus on the effects you get from the dissolvables.

Oh yeah, enjoy!

I still say they are the most horrible tasting things I have ever put in my mouth.

Do you guys put them between your lip n gums and let them dissolve or do you roll them around in your mouth or what?
I find myself not wanting a whole tablet either, I just bite them in half. I like the lip balm tin idea.
