Is it possible to add more flavoring to weak flavored exprired snus?

[outbackblackjack]

Is it possible to add more flavoring to weak flavored expired snus? For example could one purchase expired Jakobssons Ice-Fruit Portion (from Northerner) which I find to be lacking in the both fruit and mint depth, and add more flavoring to it kind of like the V2 SnusX bucket kits? I was thinking about buying and adding some LorAnn Oils Flavoring oils to it to make it more flavorful.

Yeah, you could do that no problem. You would have to experiment a little to get what you are looking for. I haven't used LorAnn's, so I don't know the best method. Have fun!

Edit: I don't have the info handy, but you might want to check the sugar levels on any flavorings you use. I don't think high sugar would be helpful for your teeth. I guess the PH level would be nice to know as well. Luckily there are people on here that have done this that will chime in.

I'm thinking of buying these possible flavors to try and boost the flavor in them:
To make it more fruity

1. Banana
2. Banana Coconut
3. Black Raspberry
4. Red Raspberry

To make it more minty

• Peppermint
• Teaberry
• Spearmint
• Wintergreen

Mr. Snuffleupagus what do you use for flavoring your snus?
here are an examples of the LorAnn:

I have a open expired can of Jakobssons Ice-Fruit Portion in the fridge and I see my wife has some vanilla and lemon extracts for baking in the kitchen so I'm going to experiment with a couple of pouches and some tiny ziplocks.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Those look pretty good to me. I've only used flavorings I bought with a make your own snus kit from Sweden. They are like these:

I don't even know what's in them really. You add some drops to a can and shake it up throw it in the fridge for a couple days. So far my favorite has been Black Currant. I haven't tried mint or wintergreen, just Bergamot, Smoke, Army, Whiskey and Black Current. Those flavors are very subtle from my experience. I would try the LorAnn's or something easier to get in the US if I was you. Or maybe try the SnusX flavors from Northerner if you can still get them here.

Go easy! A little probably goes a long way

Sounds Like something for our Resident Flavoring Scientist snusgetter...Diabolical i tell ya he is...

[outbackblackjack]

well I made up 2 pouch samples of vanilla and lemon and put them in the fridge. I used 1/4 teaspoon of water + 1 pipe tool spoonful of extract well mixed. I squeezed all of the air out of each small ziplock before sealing them. Now the question is how long should I let them rest in the fridge before trying them?

I would say 2-3 days

I've done Blueberry, and Banana with good results. I've made black walnut and blackberry with poor results. Actually, the black walnut wasn't so bad, but the blackberry was terrible. All made with SnusX. That being said I probably couldn't help you with the Jaks. Once that ice part has been put into it there's no hope for it in my book. Alas...it's been polluted.

[precious007]

I've got to try some of these flavor but wouldn't spoil my snus with them.

I need a 1kg bucket of los to try them out.

soon to be Expired Jakobssons

Has anybody else ordered this? I have some coming...99 cents a can was too good to pass up..Or was it?..Red

I doubt if there's any truth to that. For anyone interested,
though, I've explained my marinating process here. Should
work to salvage just about any portion not quite up to par.

YMMV.

I was thinking about adding some flavor to a can of los. About how many drops of Clove oil would be needed for a can? Just mix it up and put in the fridge for a couple of days?
