The Offroad I got in the sample pack is the Cranberry flavor. Kind of yuk for me. I imagine it's just the flavor that's not agreeable. I've not tried any other Offroad flavor.

In agreement there a2d. prolly just the flavor itself, I've used both Skruf and Offroad Cranberry, didn't care for either really, bland.


WoS Choc/orange
Being snus light today, snuff instead.

Guess what arrived? The holiday threw me off, and the mail came yesterday and didn't get picked up... remembered about 6pm soooooo... my GetSnus order is here!!

Have in my very first white portion (General dry mini mint). Burned a little, but settled in fine. Felt a bit weird in the upper lip (center, is that where it is to be or can I move where it is each time?). Sweet, slightly salty and minty. Yum! Cup of hot Black Tea (apple honey) along with it is quite nice (shot of Schnapps would be better *grin*). Vaping a bit of low mg TastyVapor menthol. Ahhhh much better now!

My freebie surprise can was Swedish Match Grov white portion (a tobacco flavor?) 24g can. Anybody used this? Your thoughts?

Oh... husband asks me "Your smoosh order arrived?" LOL.

Good for you Hellen. I'm glad you got your snus order in. You will need to get good with it real soon so you can help us poor slobs figure out what's what.

I just put in another General White Wintergreen in. I blew another atomizer, man this high voltage is hard on attys. It seems that I get good life out of them, then they get clogged and I have to put them through a PGA soak to clear the clog. Put them back in service and they do real good for a couple of days then just go silent. This PS PT is supposed to be running at 4.3 volts under load but I think they see 5 volts momentarily before the load kicks in.

a2d....I lost an 801 atty tonight as well on my PS PT...I think it was my own fault as I did not prime it well after a good cleaning....really needs a good amount of juice in there before re-firing!! All in all I love this PT!!:)The Wiz!

Hate to hear that Wiz. Mine wasn't a priming issue it just got hit with 5 volts at a weak moment. I've never had an atomizer fail electrically using 3.7 volts. The cleaning cycle seems to weaken them at the solder joints and they just open up when they get hit with 5 volts one too many times.

a2d....What type of atomizers are you talking about? 510's? I have been using BSE801's from Best e-cigs for months now on 5 and 6v and have only lost one or two!(Sorry OTD for straying off-topic on this thread..LOL)

Yes, I'm using a 510. They work fine for about a month then they need cleaning and usually don't last but 2 more weeks after the cleaning. My source for the atomizers has been varied. I have a large inventory from various vendors.

The problem doesn't appear to be vendor specific. Part of the issue is I hit them too hard. I need a high temp alarm installed so I'll quit when they get too hot. Guess I can't complain too much I've only lost 10 atomizers in 10 months. At that rate I have a couple of years before I run dry.

I have a Thunder frosted mini in right now and vaping the snus juice. Turns out that my snus juice vapes better at 3.7 so I switched to the Protege and am getting better results. Things like that happen when you don't use a receipe.

The place to put it is a bit off center, just to the side off the little flap of skin in the middle of the upper lip. You can use ether side. Some people move it around, or even further back, though you'll get more drip the farther back it is. I usually switch sides with every snus as to not overuse any one area.

Grovsnus is on my go to snus list. I buy it by the roll. A straight tobacco flavor so none of the citrus/bergamot type flavor. Not quite as mild as Ettan, another pure tobacco snus, but an all day every day snus for me.

Relaxing with General Wintergreen, this after Ettan white and 01 all day.

Hi Hellen :). Happy to see you got your order. I'm absolutely sure you're gonna be glad you did, it's made all the difference in the world for me. Give it a day or so and watch that fog lift. Curious.....what's the hubby say about smooshing? My wife is starting to warm a little, but she's still afraid I'm gonna start spitting :rolleyes:.

a2d...Good to hear you ave an ample supply of attys.A month and two weeks seems a little short for lifespan on a 510...but still beats the cost of one pack of cigaretts.I never clean my 510 attys.... I usually just do a burn-off with the high voltage,and have only lost one or two in 5 months time!Mine are from 3 or 4 different suppliers as well......Crap...Straying off-topic again!!

One pinch(or two)of Toque Menthol and off to bed!!

Night all!!:)The Wiz!

Writing this down. At this point I don't think I'd be interested the other flavors, just tobacco, and the vendor's descriptions leave me wondering ;).

Some say they pick up a pickle flavor with Grovsnus and really don't like it. I can taste that at times but it's not overbearing. It's a flip of the coin between Ettan and Grovsnus for me, but both are different . I have a problem with the bergamot as an everyday snus so I go for the tobacco flavored quite a bit. It's one of the classic snus so you gotta try a can.
