Ex-Smokers: Your portion use

[---Nicotinic Acid---]

I was wondering if I was suffering from snus-gluttony or perhaps this is common.

Did any of you find it necessary to use 2, or even 3 portions at one time? I can oft get by with one, but particularly in the morning, one portion just won't cut it.

Hope it's not just me!!!

*note* I don't like the sterk portions. They burn my throat and make my gums sensitive. I love los snus, but I find I have to use an unholy and cumbersome quantity.

Thx guys

Me used two or three portions when I started snus full-time as a smoking replacement. I still use Nick and Johnny in the morning or when a nic-fit seizes me, the only stark portion I use maybe until General Stark arrives. Methinks in time you may relax a little and move down to one.

Yeah, I'm an ex-smoker and always use 2 portions of strong, 3 portions of regular. So, I'm in the same boat as you. Trust me though, don't ever use 3 Skruff Strong portions. Not fun.

When i use portions, I always use two at once (unless they are strong portions, then I use one). What you are doing is not at all abnormal.

Welcome to Snuson!

Have you tried Skruf Sterk? I found it the least side effect strong one for me when I needed a really good fix. Most sterks give me stomach ache and burn my gums but this one didn't seem to. Possibly they use a higher grade of tobacco rather than playing around with the pH?

The only sterk I've tried is Skruf stark los, but never any sterk portions-. I've been avoiding stark snus since my skruf los experience but I'll try some on my next order.

I think I read that Skruf uses only the whole leaf and discards the stem, which would explain its strength.

Thx much to everyone for the replies thus far. I'm glad it's not just me!

The only time I have ever used two is with Camel. I too make use of strong when i feel that need for something extra. I use two Elyxr strong first thing in the morning, then a Nick & Johnny or Nick & Johnny East, now will add General Sterk to the mix. I may have a couple more strong over the course of the day if I am around the house.

I've been trying to get away from my morning cigarette. I can go all day without one after that.

I agree that skruf stark portions are really good.

I have a cig, a cup of joe, and slam a fat pris of los in the morning. I keep my pris in while I'm in the shower and spit it out before brushing and shaving. I ordered a can of power energy elyxer in my next order due to sagedil's testimony. Hopefully this will help me with the final transition from smoking.

My nic addiction may be at the level that I need to break the fast from sleeping. After I get my level up I usually maintain with portions all day til I get home and use los.

I do however trade off between many brands including strong portions during the day. I avoid two normal sized portions because I try to snus incognito at the office. I did however go through a whole can of general minis doubling them up. The normal size ones may be enough to expose me when I smile if I double up.

One at a time for me. Over the last 2 weeks, my urge to smoke has dropped sharply and I no longer need the massive, instant nic infusion. When I first started to replace cigarettes with snus, 2 N&J Portion in rapid succession worked for me. First one would come out after about 25 minutes when just about all of the nicotine was gone, followed immediately by the second which I would leave in for about 45 minutes. By that time, I'd be feelin' fine and dandy! Now I just do one whenever I feel like it and leave it in for about an hour.

Everyone finds their own way to do things. As long it is helping you to quit smoking, do whatever you need to!

I've never felt the need to do two at one time; which is strange because I was a fairly heavy smoker. I can't really handle the strong ones anymore, so I don't have a lot on hand, but I figure I can always double up regulars if I really have to.

I take that back; I've doubled up Catch Dry minis before.....but I don't think that counts. :wink:

I was smoking about 18-25 filterless handrolled cigarettes a day. I have anxiety/panic disorder, so tobacco is purely medicinal for me.

I'm sure you guys understand

[Xobeloot]

Most definately. We have had quite a few discussions about medicinal nicotine here.

[Kindrd]

One usually does it for me, if not I switch to Skruf.

You did see where I said they tasted like a**. Just want to make sure everyone understand. yes, I think they are increadable useful. Yes, they are now an intregal part of my snus routine. yes, I would be very pissed off if they went away.

But they taste like a**. As long as we are clear, I suppose I can take some responsability :lol:

And if you hate it, PM me and I am sure I can get them off your hands. I have learned a few tricks from Xobeloot.

[Xobeloot]

I wouldnt say they taste like pure ass... It is more like a combination of fresh magic mushrooms with a hint of ass, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika and taint juice.
