Well....maybe it's time I tried snus --very overwhelmed!

Hello everyone

I've been vaping for about a year and a half, but I think that vaping is no longer agreeing with me (I'm suddenly experiencing a heavy-head and headache when I vape), and I need to try something else so that I do NOT go back to cigarettes. I only vape mint because I love the flavor, so I'm looking to try something mint. I *was* using about 15-17 mg strength mint, but I have really had to scale back because I REALLY feel funny when I'm more than 7-9 mg. I'm assuming I should try snus minis for a lower nicotine content (although I'm not sure if the higher nic is making me feel worse or if it's the PG inhaling that is doing it to me). I'm very overwhelmed, and I was hoping some of you could give me some suggestions. Thank you!

Hey dar fellow Wiscoosinite...... home of the brave and the free......

Just had to say that. As for mint there is one snus your will probably like and that is General Mint. It come minis and regular. Fellinni also makes a mint. There is a wonderful mint/vanilla snus called chill which is a special addition (limited time). I would advise throwing a few regular cans of non-flavored snus in with the order to give a try. The vast majority of snus users do more then one snus or flavor. No matter how much you like it you will likely burn out on it if you use it exclusively.

Can't really tell how strong of snus you need by your vaping strength. The question would be how much did you smoke. If you were doing a pack a day you will do well with standard strength snus (8 mg). Even if you smoked less then that you may want some standard snus around for early in the day to get your nicotine levels up of after you eat.

As your from Wisconsin your going to run into the tax problem when ordering from Northerner or Getsnus. Big tax on smokeless for us in WI. 100% of wholesale.... that's the highest tax in the country. Gee....you would think with all the cuts Walker is doing he could cut the tax on smokeless. Not to be as I don't see it in the budget. Best to order from snuscentral as you'll bypass the taxes, but you do get hit with a high shipping cost.

I would second the general mint. It is good. I recently tried the catch pure mint and thought it was awful. I never liked the fellini either but everyone's tastes are different.

Thank you! Yes, Stubby, it would be nice if Gov. Walker would do a tobacco tax cut, but I'm thinking his mind is elsewhere at the moment. One can dream though!

You weren't kidding about the shipping. $30 UPS standard?! Holy cow. Northerner and GetSnus were around $15 cheaper --even with tax added, and including shipping.
