In this case boosters refers to pH enhancers which are commonly used in extra strong Snus. A good example was the Thunder 10 year anniversary edition. It was made the old fashioned way and used no pH enhancers. The nicotine level was 8mg/g. If the pH had been boosted with nothing else changed, I was told that the nic level would have risen to 45mg/g!

That's an interesting one chew producers using 'boosters' with their strong products. Would that be in the form of pure pharma nicotine? I thought the strength of smokeless was governed by the type of tobacco used & the steam/leaf ratio? Or maybe that's just with snus? Unless we're talking the amount of freebasing going on?
I agree some chew has a paper taste, maybe even portion material consistency going on. I remember reading chew portion material is generally thicker than that used with snus so that it can stand up to being chewed on a bit.

Would be interesting also to know if the nicotine is from tobacco or pharmaceutical like with nicotine pouches or a mix. There doesn't seem that much info out there.
Anyway, just a few questions if you're bored sometime ;-) Would interest me & could make the details into an article here for others to read through if they wondered about it.

As to refrigeration, the Thunder XTREME portion snuses sold in the US claim they do not need to be refrigerated by Swedish Match. The reasoning I heard was that the packaging was sufficient to prevent spoilage. Personally, I like cold snus in the morning so I refrigerate everything including XTREME.
Additionally, once the can is open, I have found storing the open cans in the chiller keeps them from drying out as quickly as open room temperature cans do.
To me, chew bags by anyone have too much of a paper taste to them. Fortunately, I live in a country where snus is legal! :-)

Taste is always in the mouth of the snuser. The flavoring used in LYFT is the same as EPOK. EPOK always had plant fibers as a filler but also washed tobacco. LYFT has no tobacco, washed or otherwise. They replaced it with washed eucalyptus fibers.Theoretically, the taste should be identical. Speaking specifically for me, I found some slight differences in flavor and aroma, depending on the variety.
I'd recommend buying a can or two (not a roll) of your favorite EPOK flavors in the LYFT version and see what you think. As an added note, be aware LYFT is introducing 4 new flavors Week 19; some higher in nicotine. If you can wait until then, I would include the new flavors in your order.
Let me know what you think after you've compared them! :courage:

Thanks for that very informative article @Mr. Unloadingzone. It was a subject I'd wondered about myself for a while.

Why BAT killed the EPOK brand for LYFT.
A major reason for the rise of nicotine pod products is legal; not taste. A great example of this was BAT’s discontinuing the popular EPOK All White portion brand in favor of LYFT.
