time in related to burn

When snusing, I get a gum soreness which is annoying. I think it is partially from the salt. I am experimenting with having a portion in for say merely 1/2 hour with the hope that by taking it out before only the salt is left, that maybe my gum/cheek or whatever you call it won't be so irritated. Curious how others have dealt with this. It could me because I may just be overly sensitive. I have found that drinking black or green tea causes my mouth to burn at night. Seems that tobacco is similar.

I always though the burn was from the nicotine, I get burn for the first few minutes and then it subsides, if I flip a portion over in my mouth the burn renews (but for a much shorter time).

I enjoy the burn. Without it, I don't think I would like snus as much or find it a suitable/preferable choice for tobacco.

I like knowing it's there.

After dipping for several years, people would ask if it hurt. I would answer something like, "yeah, but it's a good hurt.:

but the nicotine burn to me is different than the salt burn... for you too?

I guess I don't get the salt burn... too many years eating french fries I supposed.

When I first started, the snus would burned my gums terribly. It wasn't so bad on the first day, but by the second day, my gums were very tender and sore. It hurt, but I didn't mind too much and figured I'd get used to it or something. Anyway, the burning sensation has lessened dramatically; it's more pleasant than anything else now. So buck up, like I did! YOU'LL LEARN TO LIKE IT :twisted:

Yep.

Satan had hold of my gums for like a week when I first started. However, it sounds like you've been snusing for a lot longer than that. Occasionally I'll get sore gums, but it really seems to be brand specific. It could be nicotine or salt content not sure. I can't say it's ever really bad, but it can be fairly painful. Usually then I switch to some other snus.
