I've got to quit the starks...

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

So here I am again for the 4th night in a row up at 3am unable to sleep. I can't help but attribute this to using too much strong snus. Even when I try to make my latenight portion a regular strength it doesn't help much. I feel like I'm all strung out from a day full of snus that's really too damn strong. I think it's time to go regular portions only. Damn I'll miss the taste of Nick and Johnny...

I hope whatever you try works out for you! This might not be the best idea, but too much nicotine can make you tired. You could overload on ES before bed. The only thing that really worked for me was just sleeping with snus in. At least I'm down from ES to regular while I'm asleep

I used nothing but sterks since 2009. About 2 weeks ago I ran out of snus and have nothing but the regular non-sterk jaccobsons ice fruit. So one day I made the switch from 100% sterks to a regular portion.


Needless to say I havn't felt shit and I hate them, and I want my sterks back. If you can handle regular portions than make the switch, but if you've gotten used to sterks like me, you will find that regular portions just suck now. Maybe it just takes a while to adjust or something?

it's the nicotine hit sgreger1

it\s just like an alcoholic wouldn't feel shit from 3 beers, and drinks 3L of vodka instead

I actually chain starks as the two Jakobbson's are my favorite (and pretty much all I can get anymore). I don't notice any difference. As a matter of fact if I didn't know they were strong I wouldn't know the difference.

I was actually going to make a topic about this. I really enjoy the jak's wintergreen and allways start my morning with one. I've only been using one a day in the am because they are supposedly extra sterks. Thing is they don't make me feel like I'm swimming like thunder. Hell to me Nick and Johnny strong at 11 mg feels stronger. I'm wondering if they actually have the nic they claim.

That's a good point. As I said I use both Jaks exclusively and don't feel any different. There are sterks that after about 10 minutes I need to take it out as they are so strong but these I can keep in all day.

Yes - your body will go up or down with the nicotine. It takes me about 3 days before I get comfortable with just using mini's. The opposite is true if you up your nicotine intake. Your body will adjust to increased nicotine quite nicely.

just popped in one ;-)

[EricHill78]

I like an extra sterk when I'm extremely stressed or upset.. That's why I added two tins of gen extra sterk to my order last night. I use Jaks which I don't consider extra sterk to wake up with, and Nick and Johnny when I go to sleep. Funny thing is during the day I take a pinch of snuff a second before I pop in a regular 8 mg.. So maybe my tolerence is up.

[Hanske]

Hehe.. I've always been tolerante to stuff like that. I hadn't snused much when I started N&J, but I didn't feel sick or anything after I'd had one. I've also been drinking 4-5 cans (500ml, ca 1 pint) of energy drink a week since I was thirteen. I go to my doctor for a check every 6 months, and nothing's been wrong. I drink Espresso when I'm in restaurants, and two cans of Smirnoff Ice go down before I start feeling them. I don't drink often, though.

hell as usual my head is spinning after nearly 2 hours...

[EricHill78]

What snus are ya usin precious?

[wadetheblade]

For most of the last year, i used mainly sterks. Lately I've used General long sterk all the time, so I've decided to try to switch to the occasional sterk with mostly regulars, instead of the opposite which I've been doing. So far I'm having to use a reg every hour instead of a sterk every 2 or so.

[f. bandersnatch]

I tear them in half often, if that's what I have to use, but I really dont often buy them. I also would not consider jaks or SM 11mg whites as extra sterk or even really sterk, for that matter. They definitely have more nic than an 8 mg level, but they just seem to last longer than regs, the nicotine is not at all the intense hard-hitting type that is found in Thunder or Odens.

General Extra Sterk Portions

I think I am done with this one, I felt sick last night from it.

(I get this muscle pain from them and stinging sensation in my body, what the hell is wrong with these ES, lol)

[Jwalker]

Eh I don't really feel much difference from different types of snus, I have like the craziest usage pattern ever I wake up usually wait two hours then have a snus, use like three in 5-6 hours, and then after that constantly have one in my mouth and randomly have breaks, whether it's ES or Los doesn't matter really.
