Who Prefers Regular 8 mg Snus?

[Simplysnus]

Sterk was the key when I quit smoking, after 6 months of that I moved to regular los and now stick with regular portions.

I love the taste of many 12 and over snus, but they remain a big problem from a heart standpoint. Any snus over 8 has to come out when the heart protests. I have been able to tolerate the kick of the Coffee long + series by pressing them between a paper towel to dry them out, they are some of the soggiest snus I ever had, but the flavor has really grown on me. I can tolerate a 59 portion for about 15 minutes tops. Simple economics keeps me in the 8 mg range now. It really is a problem trying to maintain blood pressure on high nic snus.

It's good to vary strength slightly like Monkey says. To appreciate the ups you've got to appreciate the downs, i think.

[Monkey]

It doesn't matter to me as when I use snus I use los. If it is regular, a stark or extra stark I use the amount I need at the given time. A custom dose every time.

Uptake is also a big part of it. If the snus hits like pre prison Mike Tyson I want less nicotine overall.... and if like a post prison Mike Tyson kinda just nibbles on your ear, I want more.....usually.

I have been using sterks and extra sterks lately because they are easier and cheaper to get. I use to use Granit mini portions 90% of the time and to be quite honest, I love those. I don't order them anymore because I don't want to get caught up in some tax nightmare but I would be perfectly content if that was the only snus I could get. I also like Pioneer los but for some reason it doesn't feel like it has as much nicotine as a Granit mini. If any manufacturers are reading this, please consider making a mini with say 4-6 mgs of nicotine with a good kick. Also, try adding 30 portions to a can.

Sometimes it's nice to go for 8mg but with stark los, so in effect a micro-prilla.

[Slidingblues]

8 mg is plenty for me. I actually try to avoid the higher nic varieties. Other than buying a mixed bag of loose I have not purchased anything above 8 mg.

As I have said before, I could get away with using regular strength snus....... but if I do that I end up using twice as much because I use it more often.

Hi, my name is Tim Holian and I am a sterk/stark user. As I understand it, the market speaks for itself. However, I have no doubt that regular strength snus (8-9mg) will never go away although the growth may stall. If everything went to regular strength over night I would switch to los only, that way I can get my little extra without using multiple portions. (I prefer most of my los in regular strength but I do have/use sterk los sometimes.)

The next line is from cynical Tim.... LMAO

You can tell me all day that I don't need anything but regular..... or that I am over doing it and I don't need that much nicotine..... Non-smokers/snusers would say you don't need it at all.

Hey guys, I currently use E.Sterk, Sterk, Regular and mini portions depending on the time of day, E.Sterk/Sterks only for the A.M. or afternoon..after dinner and throughout my day mostly 8mg portions, at nite, or before I go to sleep I throw in a mini, as falling asleep with a E.Sterk or Sterk is like trying to fall asleep after doing a line of blow!

PP I do wish that more new flavors came out in 8mg portion, I love V2 products and the new Chrome line, but this is not an all day snus for me...It doesnt bother me while using it, but if I use Sterks all day I wake up with a nic-hang over...I tend to chain snus unless I am using E.Sterks, so using Sterks all day is too much for me.

Only exception for me is Jak's strong Mint, I can use these all day, I love the taste and don't notice a different nic hit from these then a regular portion.

[Lulie]

Regular snus for me too, anymore than 8mg just seems to give me heartburn. Bleh.

[EricHill78]

What I hate is some of my favorite flavors is only in sterk, for example Nick and Johnny. Thing is if I used Nick and Johnny all the time, when I go to a regular strength snus such at my favorite Ettan it wouldn't satisfy which wouldn't be good. I do have a theory though I may test. Say if I raise my tolerance with constant sterk usage and suddenly go back to the 8mg variaties. To supplement the the lack of nic I could take a pinch or two of snuff at the time of highest nic absorption. It may do the trick.

I think the companies are playing on human nature. When I have a headache for example I would rather grab the extra strength tylenol vs the regular strength.

[Ansel]

Nothing hits the spot like a 12mg for me.

[Renico]

I prefer 8mg as my go-to, 9mg is my fave nicotine in snus (regular jakobbsons, some odens etc.)

But as said i prefer 8mg and 9mg because i simply cant concentrate in school if im having an 12mg-22mg in.

But, i like strongs/extra strongs after school and when im just home or chilling at friends places. Makes me feel relaxed.

But my go-to everyday snuses need to be 8-9mg

[desirexe]

I don't dislike sterks but there is no way I could use those all day long. 8mg for all day..perfect!

[sirloot]

I agree anything over 14-16 is ok occasionally but i generally stick with snus between 8-12
