I have used minis, they are fine, just a smaller version of the regulars. I had General Original, and White portion minis, Goteborges Rape mini, Tre Ankor minis. Just use them like regular size.

+1 also try Fellinni Mint white mini.. Very good and taste like the andes mint chocolates if you like them you will like this snus.. Most minis are 4mg and can be double barreled if you want to make it 12mg... The exceptions would be the Strong minis which are about 8mg per portion, Like the Thunder Frosted mini...

epeer, A cig delivers about 1mg of nicotine and an 8mg portion of snus in your lip for an hour would deliver about the same.. Look at this thread and post #3 at the chart As this has already been answered for you here.. http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthre...Nicotine+chart

As discussed in this thread snus delivers nicotine differently than cigaretts and keeps your nicotine levels constant instead of a fast nic hit from a cig.

Yeah im a little confused- I want to try minis, but i heard that extra sterk gives the kick that some people are looking for? Is this something that people can recommend? Looking to make my first order

[tom502]

Usually the extra sterk minis are the same nic content as non-minis. Yeah, go for it.

I started on minis but quickly moved up. I would suggest getting as much variety as affordable for you first order. Larger orders are more cost effective due to shipping. Trying all the different flavors and strengths is a lot of fun, and really the only way to figure out what works for you. Everyone is different. Do some mock orders with Buysnus and Northerner and compare prices.

A standard sized portion with 8mg of nicotine delivers the same amount of nicotine as a filtered cigarette. Since most mini portions contain half the nicotine, you would need to use 10 mini portions per day to get the same amount of nicotine as 5 cigarettes.

Minis are great for discression and can have some great flavors. Only
thing is for me is that the nic is too low. I ended up doubling up with them
on one side. Which makes them expensive. I'd only buy one or two cans of minis. Unless you smoke/smoked lights they may work good.

Snus is a total different world, compared with smoking, and you can never know beforehand what you will like.

You don't have to order much, but you should order different types (mini, regular, white/black, lös), different flavors (candy-flavor, fruit flavor, natural tobacco taste) and different strengths (4mg, 8mg, ... , 14mg or more).

A strong portion can force a newbie to sit down after half an hour of use (even a smoker) but the nicotine-delivery is totally different, much slower and much more steady. For someone who tries to kick the cigarettes or to cut down on their use, it's very useful in the beginning to really feel the nicotine from snus. Minis sometimes don't deliver enough of that feeling - for obvious reasons. But even then I think they should be included in a first order.

Cheers!

Can't get much better advice than that. I'll just add that I don't care for minis. I'd be fine with the nicotine, but I don't like the mouth feel, or flavor level. They're just too small.

Wow-

Thanks for the great info- I didnt realize that! Im actually a light cigarette smoker- camel lights- I didnt know that the nic content was so different. I think im going to go with some ettans, some mini extra sterks, and then 2 of the top ones i see on the forums here!

Thanks
