Loose snus

[dragon23rider]

I just ordered Phantom Blue loose Snus. My question is since this my first time using loose, do you pack the can the same way they do with dip?

[lxskllr]

Nah, just pinch and form. It's moister/stickier than dip.

Thanks for the tip

My Phantom Blue loose Snus tastes good but it was an epic fail on my part making a prilla, guess I will get an ice tool for my next order.

Blue Loose is a bit tricky......start with something like Roda or General

A big part is simply the lip getting used to having loose snus there. Roda and General will make the technique easier while giving your lip time to adjust

You also might want to check out the Dipper's Guide to Snus (it is about all things loose). A lot of people have shared tips and tricks there that you may find helpful. You can find the guide here

Lenny's cut is fine for making pris out off. Quite moist and sticky. Someone here had a great method, of using your index fingure and two fingures from said oposite hand to make the pris... thats after you get a decent lump formed in your palm

My loose Snus went all over the floor when it flew out of my hand

I've found for me when first starting out was to just use my pointer finger and thumb of both hands to form it into tight elongated box shape, compressing it a lot. I didn't use my palm at all. Now I just use a farmer's pinch and don't make a prilla.

I got my first order of loose last week,and i much prefer it to portions, i also got myself a X tool portion maker. I got the X tool just in case i was rubbish at hand baking,which i am, but i will persevere
The loose i got are Offroad original, silver, and gold, my favorite up to now is the original. I also got a can of Thunder frosted, which i haven`t tried yet.
I`m still going to use portions, when i`m out and about, as i`m a bit messy getting it out of my mouth l.o.l.. But at home, and when i`m in my shed working on my motorbikes, it will be loose from now on.

I've been using portions since I joined here and just started my first loose snus today. Had it for over a week and decided to try it and its waaay different than dip. Okay so I formed 2 pouch size for each side of the lip and feeling it with my tounge its melting. I'm afraid its going to melt and drip slowly till theres nothing there. Is it okay if it does that? Basically swallowing everything overtime

Edit: Its not coming apart, just melting. And its weaker than the actual portions. I'd take one portion on the side upper lip and its overwhelming and perfect in the upper lip but 2 equal sizes of portion of loose snus I barely taste snus or anything. Its been here for 30 minutes

What brand are you using and how tightly did you pack it........those two factors go a long way in determining the flavor release........e.g. Roda, tightly packed = almost no flavor for a while.

General ES loosely packed = full flavor almost at once.

Don't fret about the snus sliding. If it does rinse and try again. Eventually your lip will get used to having lose there.....in turn you will get used to the pris slowly molding to the shape of your mouth.
In fact, eventually the only time you will bake a pris (vs pinch and insert) will be when you need the pris to last longer.

Relax, give trial, error, and adjustment a little time to work its course....you wll have the hang of it in no time

Thanks snusdog, another question. Would swallowing the actually tobacco and not the juice be bad for you? While going through the beginners trial?
