Well this Sucks. I just got an email from Snus24 that they are out of stock on the Nick and Johnny Americana, wanting to know if I could replace them with something else. I ordered 59 cans, main reason for my order, so told them just to refund my money and will look elsewhere.

Well I looked elsewhere, the ones that ship to US are out of stock on Americana or don't carry Nick and Johnny Snus. I still have about 4 months left in stock, so I guess I'll keep looking for them to come in stock somewhere that ships to US and try an order then. Snus24 might get more in stock before I run out.
Well it was a problem from the start. I asked for a refund because they said they didn't have the americana in stock, then a couple of days later after 2 messages to them, it was marked as shipped, a week later and no tracking number, after 3 requests for one, also my UPS account does not show a package coming from them (but it does show the one coming from snusroom for the dry pouches). I just have a bad feeling about this shipment.

    I don’t understand why they aren’t responding.

    I looked and I am seeing "Item not available to ship to United States.". But that could be just the sites that are not shipping anything to the US.
    I got two rolls of catch on my snusport order.

    I tried the strong Kapten portion that I flavored yesterday. I did two drops of the mint mixture and one drop of Capella super sweet straight just to see what it would do. It’s was over sweet and I really didn’t taste the tobacco or mint but now I know that the sweet will help tame the strong tobacco flavor of the Kapten. Now just to figure out the right mixture.

    Mixed some concentrate flavor with VG today to see what it tasted like, much stronger than the mix I use from onestopdiyshop, a little goes a long way. As I wait on my super dry pouches, I am trying to flavor some olde ving pouches. Trying a strawberry and a melon, but it seems like I have to mix 10:1 on the VG and flavor. I have one flavored with 4 drops of strawberry I am going to try tomorrow and see what it is like, I see it is going to take some experimenting to get the flavoring of the snus right.

    I feel like flavoring snus at this point is a guessing game. I tried a couple drops of my candy cane and super sweet on one of the catch mint portions and it was much better than the Kapten. Kinda wishing now that I hadn’t bought so many rolls of Kapten but I’ll keep trying until I find something I’m happy enough with to use it up.

    I am hoping you get the mint figured out, I am not in a rush on mint as I still have over 7 rolls of general mint, so I am not in a rush for mint. But my others that are different flavors, I need to start working on. The americana and the melon. I placed an order a little while ago with onestopdiyshop, they have some good flavors, just not concentrated, so you need more, and they taste good right from the bottle, (but they don't have a mint or melon). I'm going to try the root beer for the americana replacement, and I also ordered a raspberry and strawberry for a little fruit mix to replace my afternoon melon. Not sure how they will work out, only time will tell.

    I am just NOT having any luck with Snus from Sweden. Something is slowing my snusroom order in Germany now, but it does not say what the problem is.

    I also messaged Snus24 (for the 6th time) and told them again to ship my order and give me a tracking number or cancel it and refund my money. I guess if I have not heard anything by Thursday I will contact my CC company and request a charge back.

    I feel bad for you. Both of my orders arrived fine except snusport was slow to ship.

    This is ridiculous, I'm growing more dislike for governments by the day. I came over to comment on the General Mint and saw I fell behind by three pages.

    I opened a roll of my Mint and it was strange, instead of looking like a white portion snus it was darker. It even felt wetter. The taste also seems to last shorter. I've got to dig out some of my older cans and compare.

    I stopped at the station I used to buy a can from every now and then but they no longer carry it. There's also another place that had it that I'm going to try, maybe later today.

    Yeah, definitely different. I also found that the second closest gas station that is supposed to carry General so I'm going out soon to check it out.

    Looks like yours ice up like mine do. Most likely the wetter one is from the ice melting when it thawed. What I do when I take one out of the freezer, I immediately remove the ice and transfer it to another container (I use camel snus cans for my carry cans, cheep on ebay). General Mint is the only one I have had that gets ice in it, don't know why, but every can I take out of the freezer has ice, I just deal with it.

    Edit: I store mine on their side, so all the ice is on one side of the can and easy to remove.

    Okay, today with the full scoop in PA. Cost- $7.26 plus tax for a total of $7.70 and the snus definitely doesn't look like white portions anymore. Here's all three- old, new and just bought in store. Sorry about the lighting but too cold and windy outside.

    Even when you do a search of General Mint you can see the difference which really sucks since the White portions don't dry out in the freezer.

    Hit, here you are in a time capsule. The one that's wet had just come out of the freezer. It's the one on the left in the second picture. It was definitely white, the color I was used to. The one on the right was from my latest order, definitely darker. The bottom wone is from the refrigerated store.

    Here's a story from snubie, it says may so before the issue started.


    The following pictures are pro shots from three different eras of the cans. Something changed.

    The dark ones remind me of ones I’ve had out for a long time. Mine ice up too but those are really dark.

    I also messaged Snus24 (for the 6th time) and told them again to ship my order and give me a tracking number or cancel it and refund my money. I guess if I have not heard anything by Thursday I will contact my CC company and request a charge back.
    Update: Got 2 emails from Snus24 today, finally, they did not ship the order, so they refunded my money, so all good there.

    I looked for Americana, & Olde Ving, & Melon snus, at all the sites I could find it listed, out of stock everywhere. I also noticed LOTS of snus is out of stock. Not sure what is going on, but the only thing they seem to all have, and willing to ship to the US, is nicotine pouches. I think Snus Armageddon is upon us. For some reason Sweden is not making the snus like they used to do. There were always some snus out of stock, but there are a LOT out of stock like production has stopped. Not sure what is going on, but it is bad for us. I even used my VPN and told it I was in Sweden, still showed stuff was out of stock.

    My Snusroom order has cleared customs in Germany and is on its way again, but no telling how long it will be stuck in US customs. Shipping says Friday now, but I won't hold my breath.

    My experiments with the concentrates I have from vaping (which are very old) are not working very well, the flavor is muted, or upsets my stomach if I mix it stronger. I am hoping the fresh flavors I ordered from onestopdiyshop will do better. I hope I get both orders by the weekend, just because I want to experiment. If I like the super dry pouches and the flavors, I will put in a very large order of them, because I think it is only a mater of time (not long) before we won't be able to order any snus from Sweden at all. JMHO
