    ES/Sterk ? Anyone else like me?

    Maybe y'all can help me with something. I hear all this talk about starks and ES use making other's not enjoy regular portions. I don't seem to have that issue at all. Most of you know that I LOVE Thunder Frosted ES and now I really love Oden's Extreme. But I can go one day with nothing but mini's without an issue. I don't seem to use extra mini's to make up for the lack of nicotine at all, and there are no additional cravings.

    Am I in the total minority on this?

    I'm currently inundated with stark/extra/ultra, and while haven't been using them a ton, I don't notice any difference when using regular snus. In general though, I'm not a fan of starks, and other than possibly continuing with Oden's Extreme(pending tests of the regular Oden's), I won't be using more after the current crop is gone.

      I use snus to get a nicotine buzz, not to reduce cravings, so since I use ES and Extreme mostly, I do not enjoy 8mg portions. Loose of any kind I always enjoy, because I can manipulate how much nic I get with it.

      It's a damn shame though, after my supply of extreme and thunder is done I will wean myself off ES so that I can enjoy 8mg portions, and I will hopefully stop using ES.

          I don't buy into the theory that your nicotine consumption goes up and up if it's not checked.
          My nicotine needs have always been from 12mg upwards.
          8mg has always been weak for me but for reasons I don't understand some standard portion snusses have more of a kick than others.

            I guess i'm like Christi, as long as i have some snus i'm happy. Admittedly i enjoy stronger snus more but if all i have is regulars then i'm ok on them too. Sometimes i wonder if it is more the habit and just having something under the lip than satisfying the craving.

                No i don't buy into that theory too but if i do step up or step down in dose i find for me it has to be gradual.

                  If I'm doing solely 8mg I have to chain snus about one an hour.

                      I ususaly rotate between standards and Sterk/Extra/extreme .. probably like 3-4 8-9mg's and 2-3 sterks alternating

                        I rarely use upwards of 8 mg per serving unless I really need more nic.

                        On a bad day or a drinking day a tin of thunder los will get empty by half.

                        Sometimes I want a sterk....but don't feel I need a sterk unless I am drinking.

                          Well it is nice to see all the different thoughts on this. I sometimes think it is just a habit of having something under my lip too, teeotee. I always have something in my mouth(I mean I always have a portion in my mouth).

                            this is my usage too. I stopped using regular portions because I used more of them and used more often.

                            If I went back to regular strength my cost would go up.

                              That's true. Also a stark is much more satisfying.
