ES/Sterk ? Anyone else like me?

[jagmanss]

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).

Nice catch and save...LOL.... I was all ready to jump all over that one

I am on the ball today

I really wish I had a ES right now. My order won't be here until Monday *sigh*

Christi, like you, I normally switch between sterk, regular and mini without any thought or cravings, but my day feels all wrong, if it doesn't start sucking Nick & Johnny. Because of my morning need, I was in a situation where I only had N&J for a week. When I got home, I did have cravings whenever I used a mini and felt "lacking" with a regular. So, I found myself using sterks more for about a month until I was back to my random snus popping days again.

Im a Thunder-Frosted-chain-sterkin-fool. I think I have completely ruined myself for regulars. While I can use them and be ok, it always just feels like somethings "missing". They just dont satisfy like a Thunder.....

For me. there are times for everything. I mean, most of the time (work, general out and about, etc.) I'm cool with regular portions/prillas. Sometimes, though, i.e. when I'm drinking (now, for instance) I want a sterk/ES.

Frosted and beer don't go well together, though. GES is different story. If SM would only make an Ettan ES Los....

I like Frosted and beer But I can see how some would not.

First thing I do when I wake up in the morning, I have some Oden's Extra Stark Loose with coffee. A single pris of it gives me enough energy to kick start the day instead of slowly tune into the day. When I was still on Ettan I would literally chew my pris and that not being enough I always popped in another only half an hour after my first one was gone. With ES it is different. It really wakes me up, it helps save on quantities and it gives tremendous enjoyment. I usually have three servings of ES a day - one in the morning, one after dinner and then on the couch while watching telly. I use regular brands for the rest of the day.
Oden's ES is a bit different than most other ES. Its nic is soft and I think I could easily make it the only snus I use.

Amen!

I have to double barrel any regular portion and they still seem to lose their punch quickly.

Have to admit regular portions don't really do anything much for me anymore. My own fault for trying starks and getting on the stark train I guess. It's a shame in a way as being a chain-starker it does limit your options, although there's more stark brands around these days to choose from. In the old days there was only really Skruf Stark. On the other hand though chain-starking was what kept me off the cigarettes, I did have relapses quite often when using the regulars.

I kind of am aware I have nic on the go if I have a regular portion but I find myself moving it around a lot to try to get more out of it but what I'm looking for is just not there. Whereas with a stark I can keep one of them on the go for a good hour or so leaving it alone and am quite happy.

I’ve always had a high tolerance with anything. I do find if i’m on the strong stuff and run out, i’m popping 8mg in and out of my mouth every 45mins. I remember when I first started some six years ago that 8mgs would make me feel like I did when I first stated smoking but, it didn't last long. It’s like any drug I guess, the more you take, the more the tolerance builds, well, it does with me

I have a pretty high nicotine tolerance, and use a lot of sterks, but I haven't lost the enjoyment for regular 8 mg snus at all. Actually I prefer the "lower" nicotine brands most of the time. I'm more for the flavor than the nicotine hit, and many snuses that have a great taste comes in the strong varieties exclusively. The nicotine in the stronger ones can be a little bit too much; not a prilla here and there, but if I chain snus sterks all day long. No nasuea or anything, but I often just feel light headed, drowsy and can get easily irritated (?) if I am riding the high nicotine train morning to night. With regular strenth, I get more of an "alert" kick, and does not get drowsy at all.

I find that I want a stark or extra stark at the times of day when I used to really, really crave a cigarette -- for example, after meals, or first thing in the morning. Other times of day, a regular portion suits me fine most of the time. Although I can (and do) enjoy a portion of 02, which is halfway between a regular and a stark, any time of day. But that's probably more about the flavor than the nicotine strength.

I will admit that I use pretty much 100% starks and haven't used any regular portions in quite a long time. I do find though that my regular workhorse, thunder frosted longs satisfy me fully even if I have been on a binge of nothing but higher nic options. For example, my last order was odens extreme and I went through nothing but that and some thunder coola I had traded for a while, and now I have been using my regular again and it doesn't feel any different.

It seems that my body likes a certain nicotine amount, and anything above that doesn't change anything...or something like that. Kindof like a nicotine cap. Not sure if that makes any sense but it seems to hold true for me anyways.

I like sterks in the morning and when i get home from work.

I noticed i use 2 thunder minis in an 8 hour shift and 4 4mg minis....

So it's about 8mg an hour with a 16mg sterk in the morning and a 16mg when i get home.
