Bigger Nicotine hit with Oliver Twists?

[bondzai]

I find the Oliver Twists to be fairly mild compared to Regular Portions. Plus, maybe because there is no discernible salt, they seem easier on my gums. They are more discrete than snus too.

I believe that just sucking on a bit can give you a little over 1mg of nicotine. Once it softens up you can squeeze in it lightly between the teeth to release more nicotine. Then finialy you can slowly chew it up into a little ball releasing even more nicotine.

To start off it does not have the surfice area of ground snus, so it takes a little longer to get out the nicotine. Also OT is on the acidic side and I was under the impression that more of base PH level helps with the assorption. Or is it that some nicotine molecular structure work best with a base and others with an acidic PH?

Cook, are the Olivers available in Ottawa, do you know?

Re: Bigger Nicotine hit with Oliver Twists?

In my last snus order I picked up a few tins of Oliver Twists. I've gone through about 1/2 of a tin, and I have found that I get a bigger nicotine hit from 1 Oliver Twist than I do from a pris...

I would have to agree with you. One evening I was alternating OTs with Skruf Stark portions, and at the end of the evening I nearly threw up.

I treat them with a bit more respect now...

Welcome to the board JMN. I was going to say it looks exactly like chinchilla poop. But I figured that some people here might not know what a chinchilla is, or may have never seen a chins poop. If you handed an OT user a chin poop he would promptly put it in his mouth, its identical to the OT. :P

[JMN]

cool. thanks for the info regarding not having to spit.

just for the record, guinea pig poop is more like the OT than rabbit poop, as rabbit poop is spherical and GP poop is more shaped like the OT. LMFAO :roll: ops: :shock: :!: :!: :!:

Well done.:lol:

OH!............Sorry I was fixed on the "swallowing the juice" comment.

I find the cessation of swallowing the juice from OT the same as that from American dip. I used these for a short while, always outside like yardwork or umpiring, so I could spit.

Coupled with no oral fixation/feel of something in my mouth, they had no use for me. The nic delivery was nice and slow for me like snus. But I would rather toss in a big plug of redman or garrett and attain a real tobacco feel.

Anticipating a PP response with something regarding the oral fixation.

I tried them too. Kinda like rabbit poop.

Interesting. I tried the OT before discovering snus, and I found them to have almost no kick at all. Maybe now that I've quit smoking, I'll revisit them.

i'm a newbie.
are you supposed to spit when using the OT or bits?

thx

No, just swallow as usuall. I've had no ill effects from OT. I like the flavor a lot, but the size is a little too small for my taste. I like the feel of snus under my lip, and the OT doesn't have much bulk.

The tobacco itself, mostly Kentucky, with about 27mg/g is even much stronger than the snus-tobacco with mostly only 8mg/g, but one bit only weighs 0.2g.

I'm just feeling pedantic, so apologies in advance

Snus is roughly 8mg/g, but is not entirely tobacco - in fact about half of it is water. So the tobacco itself is considerably stronger than that.

Oh yes, my comparison is mostly based on weight. Certainly the raw tobacco is not so much stronger, but I believe, that the raw tobacco, used for tobacco-bits is at least a little stronger. Informations are hard-to-find, but I know, that tobacco bits also contain more than 20% of moisture.

Maybe a tobacco-farmer joins the forum one day to clear some questions.

Cheers!
