Newbie snusser, requesting advice for which brands to try

**Xobeloot** · 14-07-08, 01:36 PM

That is actually a damn nice order for someone flying blind.

The only things that I have not tried on that order are the Catch anf the General Sterk. I like General, but I am not too fond of the strong nicotine content.

The Offroad Cran los is one of the only brands that I order in 10-packs (rolls)

I like the fact that you jumped straight into the loose. Don't let it frustrate you when you first start, it takes some practice.

The Gotlands Yellow is going to be the hardest one to hand bake, but it is also quite tasty. Many here use it as their mainstay los. Myself, I can only use it occasionally as the flavor gets old quite fast.

As far as being a smoker, you may want to start with the Skruf, N&J, and General Sterk. Their strong nic contents will truly minimize the want for a smoke at first. Don't feel you have to quit cigs immediately. I used snus for a couple weeks along with cigs. Before I knew it, I just wasnt smoking.

I'll still burn one now and again if i want to, but never because I need to.

Anyways, I dont have time to type descriptions of what you've ordered without gettin my ass chewed out, so i'll leave that to the others.

Welcome to snuson!

Welcome to the forum doucheboy.

Actually, that isn't a bad order at all. Yeah, it is possible that you won't like a few of them, it is possible you won't like Los much, but that is all part of the learning process.

Nick & Johnny is one of my all time favorites. General is a classic and I just tried the Sterk, and I love it. The Skruff is almost too strong for mew now, but it was a godsend when I was first coming off of cigarettes.

The only real question mark in your order, other than if you will like Los or not, is the Offroad. Some of us here don't mind it, others don't like it much. It tends to have this rather strange type of after taste, some have likened it to a chemical taste. But worst thing that will happen is you will know what NOT to order next time.

But overall, a good start.

Xoobelot, sagedil,

Thank you so much for the suggestions, my order just came in today, opened the General loose, tried baking it with the icetool... placed it under my upper lip... my first reaction was..... PHEW! It's true what I read in the forums.. damn salty and messy... I would try again later on but right now, I am itching to just throw it away... waste of good money though... ice tool is cool though... =) Thanks again guys!

It takes some time to get used to the loose. Dont give up on it so quickly.

Check out the thread in the Tips&Tricks forum: I cant keep a pris together.

It should be stickied right at the top.

**doucheboy** · 16-07-08, 04:04 AM

Downed 4 beers last night, then tried General using only 1 - 2 clicks of the Ice Tool.... mmmmm.. now this I can take, I just hope I won't always be needing beer. I am currently on my 5th non-smoking day, tried smoking the other night... smoke tasted like crap. I've already tried catch eucalyptus and nic and johnny east, I think I can live with those two but they won't be 1st choice for sure.... can't wait to try the other flavors and hopefully I'll find my niche but you're right, shouldn't jumped to loose at first and I've probably ordered more than I could handle.

Now if I can only stop drinking everyday... anybody know of an alcohol substitute? =P

Don't worry, if you like the taste of loose and keep trying it definitely gets easier. I used dip for a while, so it was less of a change for me, but if you start small and work your way up it should definitely not take long to master.
When I stopped worrying about if I was doing it right, it suddenly got much easier as well. There are many ways to pack/use a pris, just do what seems natural.

Masturbation... dude, I wanna get the buzz, not fall asleep right after =P
Should be something out there... one more thing, I've read your other posts, never tried anything exotic except weed and I didn't like it because it always gives me hurtburn.. my only 2 vices right now are nicotine and beer(no hard stuff, just beer) which I am trying to wean myself off since I usually down a six pack in 2 hours and go to sleep. Ain't healthy but I need the relaxing (semi-drunk) effect.

To Xobeloot, Kerpodo...

I am trying some los cranberry right now and all I can say is..... #!@!#@!#! this stuff is @*&^%% GOOD!! Damn icetool is worth it, thanks for the encouragement guys! Really appreciate it, wished I've read about the other newbie post though, seemed we have the same taste, didn't notice it before... prob was too BUZZZED! Thanks guys!

If you like to halucinate. Like trip your balls off hardcore and go into an alternate universe for about say five minutes try salvia divinorum. Not as intense as DMT. A unique experience. Most people I know only do it once. You won't be going to bed afterwords though. When it wears off you feel like you just drank half a pot of coffee.
And yes it's legal. I reccomend the starter kit at salviasupply.com.
If you don't have experience with psychoactive substances don't do it. Also never do it alone. Have someone sober sit with you to avoid any accidents, I fell down pretty hard last year- some sort of furniture involvment. Take turns maybe, it doesn't last long.

**Xobeloot** · 16-07-08, 01:55 PM

Offroad Cran Los is one of my alltime favorites. Join me on the dark side! Order some Phantom (Classic and Blue Los)

The last time I did that crap, I sat there watching my friends peel the skin off their faces while seeing lego men climbing over the wall into the yard for the entire time. Now keep in mind I was also high on mushrooms, cocaine and exstacy and alcohol at the time of the salvia hit... I used to be pretty f'd up.

**doucheboy** · 17-07-08, 08:44 AM

Thanks for the suggestion but seriously, I am not going to try salvia for a while, tried some weed before, had a major heartburn for 2 days, salvia should be something different, but still... maybe in the future.

Note to self... Don't order too much loose.. can't use it in the office.... damn, i think i got only 4-6 out of 14 which are portions, the rest are loose, I've also have 14 more coming which are los... damn... anybody wanna trade =P

**Xobeloot** · 17-07-08, 02:41 PM

Practice with it and you can use it anywhere. I have no portions in my fridge or freezer right now.

**doucheboy** · 19-07-08, 08:06 AM

Tried using twice during work. It was tad messy and I clogged the sink. Gotta read d other posts regarding disposal. One more thing. My boss thinks I am shooting something. Hahahaha
