What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

[Burnie]

With my experiments, I am thinking it really needs a little more sweet, I haven't tried that yet, so that is on my mind to do next. The mint flavors for vaping are not bad, just missing a little something. I am going to try some of the super sweet you sent me and see if that brings them up. This it getting really old, I'm going back to my stock for a couple of days, and let the tests I have going meld a little, I'm really getting tired of the testing.

I managed to go through a can and a half of Kapten that I flavored with a mint I had with sweetener added. To me the sweetener helped tame down the dark tobacco flavor of the Kapten.

Ordered an assortment of Nicotine Pouches from Northerner to try some of them for fill-in to make my snus I have in stock last longer.

The prices are better for rolls, but I wanted to try them first before I ordered rolls. All of these have 20 pouches to the can, not like some that only have 15 to the can. Just testing some Nicotine Pouches I can get in the US without having to order from overseas.

I have tried a few. The FRE Mint is really sweet, too sweet for me. I like some sweetness but not like a Florida ice tea sweet. It is a no go for ordering more. I still have the Lush to try, and I expect it will be sweet also, will see once I try it.

The Velo Plus Peppermint and the Velo Plus Wild Berry are not bad. The peppermint is good, but seems to get sweeter the longer you have it in, but not near as sweet as the FRE. The Wild Berry is just good, not overly sweet, I like it.

I do feell something missing using Nicotine Pouches over Snus, and doing them for most of the day was not as nice as using snus, but I could see them helping me make my Snus last longer (I do have a nice supply in the freezer). If I do a few a day, intermixed with regular Snus, it is doable.

I'll post more as I try the others.

I just use nic pouches for fillers between snus. From what I’ve read, nic pouches use nicotine salts which are supposed to act quicker than snus but leave the system quicker also.

 

[Burnie]

It is mind boggling how many different Nicotine Pouches there are out there. I have been going to https://www.reddit.com/r/NicotinePouch/ and doing some reading, It seems like everyday someone posts about something I have not seen, there are 100's of different ones out there, just like Snus used to be. And all the Nicotine Chasers talking about 50mg+ pouches, it is getting to be the Wild West on what the strength is now. It is really sad, it's not about quitting smoking, but about the rush of nicotine for a high.

 

[hittman]

That’s just like the disposable vapes. A lot of them are 50mg nic salt.

Well out of the 10 I got, only the Velo + Peppermint and Wild berry are any good for me. I'll power through the others as I don't like to waste money, but the others are not great. the worst was the Sesh+ Mint, really off flavor, will probably just pitch them. I can only use a nicotine pouch as a filler, one between regular Snus, but I could not switch to them full time, something is missing.

 

[hittman]

I agree that it would be difficult to switch to nic pouches. I’m the same as I use them in between snus as a filler.

@retired1 , how are you doing with the odens?

I like it. When I'm at home, I hit the General, but at work when the stress is up, the Odens works just fine.

I’m honestly not loving it. I’m ok with the strength but just don’t love the flavor.

Yeah, it's definitely an in your face flavor without a hint of sweetness. I don't like it as much as I like the General, but it's OK. If there was a General Mint in the strength of Odens (and we could get our hands on it), I'd be all over it.

I kinda wish now that I hadn’t panicked and bought so much of the odens. After that I picked up some g3 that is Blackcurrant that’s not bad.

Welllllllll now.... Whatcha want for the stash?

I’d be willing to part with most of the odens. I played around with flavoring a few cans but have most of it unopened.
