    I prefer los but have had to move to mostly portions because of my job. There is no way I could pull it off now being back in a kitchen cull time.

    Portions at work, los at all other times.

      Portions when I'm out or conversing with people and Los when I'm home or out alone.

          Portions

          Very Discreet - can be done almost anywhere
          Safe
          No Tools required
          Can get the job done in a much faster period of time
          You can do it exactly how you want it
          lots of variety
          You don't really worry where used portions wind up

          Los

          Much more flavor
          Much more texture
          variety depends on source
          You sometimes have to use tools to do the job right
          Harder to hide
          mudslides can lead to disaster
          used portions can be hard to get rid of

              I'm a masturbation guy, er...portion guy.

              I tried 1 can of Ettan Los in my first order but I couldn't deal with it very well. I used those tea bags just to finish the can.
              But I haven't given up. Next order I will throw another can of Los in it. If so many people thinks it's like a treat I must give it another try.

              I like tobacco flavours so maybe another Ettan can.

              Cheers

                I've mashed a few prillas of used los into a catch lid. It made a mess.

                  Portion here.
                  Some say tampons, i say hi-tech snus

                  No mess and sticky fingers
                  cheaper than loose (here)
                  Can move around it in mouth if you wish, without it falling apart
                  Better taste (for me anyhow )
                  Discreet and also comes with an "ash tray"

                  Loose smell better tho, i can give you that

                    Is it really cheaper, even when you factor in the weight? You get ~twice as much lös per tin a you do portions. It would have cost more than twice as much to be more expensive.

                      Portions all the way. Aside from the nicotine, my snus requirements are convenience and discretion!

                        Yeah you're right ofc in that way. Unless you're really sloppy with your loos and spill often, then it evens out.

                        But in the end i think if you use loose, after awhile you start using bigger and bigger pris's? which means you get fewer "portions" if you bake them yourself. Just me guessing here tho. No clue really.

                        I think a famous football player (soccer player for you i reckon ) only got 3 prisar from a can. Exaggarated i'm sure lol. Glenn Strömberg if i recall. And he was like a mega snus user, with a massive upper lip

                          Do the math. Lös comes with 45g of tobacco (50g in Gotlands), so equivalent 24 "portions" would be just about 2g each. And since it's 2g vs. about 1g in each portion, the nicotine dosage is higher (well, unless portions are formulated for better nicotine delivery across the portion material, which I think is the case).

                          Being able to adjust dosage really makes lös great, and with ekstra sterk lös only a tiny pea-sized prilla is enough.

                            Perhaps. I have to make a conscious effort to keep my pris size down when handbaking/pinching. I almost always use an IceTool, so the size can be easily maintained. I use ~1g prises just about every time.

                              Anyway, you can keep making them bigger and bigger ... but you can't have more than 5 ml pris under your lip which is still HUGE.... and still make quite a few portions from one can of loose snus...

                              The average pris I make is 1.5 ml ... and I can bake around 50 of these from one can I think ...

                              lös is the best. why?

                              +1

                              I actually started to get annoyed with the material too.

                                About the same for me, only can of los only lasts about two weeks.
