Has anyone tried the Catch xrange mint white? I wonder if it’s even close to the general?
I am thinking we need to get what Snus we can from whoever is still shipping to the US. I just did a search for the Catch Mint, most sites I looked at said "Item not available to ship to United States.", so I think we are being cut off from getting Snus from overseas totally. I don't know the reason, but it is happening. My snus24 order is still not shipped, but it is the weekend, so will see what happens Monday, hopeful it ships. :nun:

    My order has shipped. I saw on Reddit that someone was told by one of the online stores was that the problem was with UPS not wanting to ship it to the U.S.

    I got to thinking after reading your post that you are probably right so took a chance and placed another order with snusport this time. I sure hope I don’t hate the Kapten and catch mint. I did add a roll of 77 that I like. I don’t have to love the snus flavor but I’ve bought some before that I just couldn’t stand from lundrgren.

    Thanks for sharing that! It’s good to have a real explanation. It doesn’t help with not being able to buy general and jakobsson mint so I still need to find new options. I ordered a lot of the Kapten so better like it.

    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.

    That sucks! Sorry about that. I don’t think I’ve tried the Americana.

    I did have to sign for my order this time. I immediately opened a can of the Kapten mint. It’s not as sweet as the general and the peppermint is milder. I think I can learn to live with it. I’ll probably start working it into rotation with my general and jakobsson so I can get used to it before running out of the others.

    After using a few more portions of the Kapten mint, I’m finding the taste a little boring. It doesn’t have the sweet peppermint taste like general and the tobacco taste seems darker. It’s not terrible but supposedly it was supposed to be the closest one to general mint. It wouldn’t be that big of a deal if I could still buy jakobsson mint but not being able to order both really sucks!

    Well not sure what is happening, but my order now shows shipped. Wednesday I sent a support email from the contact form requesting again if they could not ship my order to refund my money. When I checked this morning, I expected it to say processing still, and I was going to message them again, but it said shipped, but I can't find the tracking number, so I messaged them to please email it to me. For some reason I'm not sure I will get what I ordered because they said they were out of stock, and still shows out of stock on the website, so I don't know if it was really shipped, or what they shipped. Guess I will give it till next week and see what happens.

    Good luck! Maybe they got more stock and shipped it. I had placed an order with snusport for Kapten mint strong but am nervous now that I won’t like it any better than the regular Kapten mint. Maybe the XR catch mint slim will be better. I probably shouldn’t have ordered four rolls of the Kapten strong without trying it but was kind of in panic mode. I thought about mixing a sweet peppermint liquid without nicotine and using it to add flavor to the Kapten.

    That's what I do with the Olde Ving 99 Coffee and the Olde Ving Fudge, I really do not like them as they are. I mix up some Lotta Latte Blend with 1/3 VG & 1/3 distilled water and lightly spray the pouches, just a little, not wet, and then I like them. I have started going into conversation mode, trying to use less so they last longer. I also have several in the freezer that are OK but not great that I am going to start working into my rotation using a pouch a day (only 23 cans). If they don't change the shipping option, I guess I will have to switch to all pouches when I run out as all I can get local is Camel Snus (yuck). I did order a couple of rolls of 77 Pouches with the Snus24 order to start working them into my rotation also. The more I use of something else, the longer my regular snus will last.

    I’m going to try mixing up some peppermint today to experiment with. Why did you use vg instead of pg? Will it make a big difference? I think I have a candy cane flavor that might work well. I have been using some of the 77 pouches and like a handful of the flavors. When I run out of general, I could pay through the nose for a can here or there if they continue to sell it here locally.

    VG is a little sweeter than PG, so it adds a touch of sweetness, not sweet, just a touch like the General Mint. I have only ever flavored the Olde Ving, so I have no ides how much sweetness your flavors have, but when I was vaping I used more VG than PG because of the taste.

    Good point. I don’t have any distilled water right now so might start with just a little filtered water for testing purposes.

    I did a 10% mix with the candy cane, pg, vg, and filtered water. I did a quick test on one portion with two drops from a 10ml bottle on each side and worked it in with my fingers. I really don’t have a small bottle to mist the portions yet. I’ve got that one in right now and it definitely increased the peppermint but didn’t add much sweetness so I added 1% super sweet to my bottle and did a second portion with three drops on each side and worked it into the portion. I’m going to let it sit a while then try it. I think I’m heading in the right direction. I might take a look at my flavor list and see if I have any sweet mints to try.
