    Decisions, Decisions

    Here is what I decided on based on from your suggestions and what I think will match my tastes to start with. Any more final suggestions before I place my order? Based on what I mentioned in Sage's thread about his 30 pack order of Discreet, I really liked the Emerald Ice and the Cool Mint but not the peach and strawberry. I put all 20 of the strawberry at one time in and didn't get a nic buzz or when I put 18 of the peach in at one time. I didn't put all of the other two at one time because I liked the flavor so much.

    Can't add too many more cans but might make some replacements if anyone thinks I might like something better.

    Elixyr Power Energy portion
    General ONYX Portion
    General Portion
    Grovsnus White Portion
    Göteborgs Rapé No2 Portion (recommended a Swedish friend)
    LD White Portion
    Odens Extra Strong Cinnamon (Kanel) Portion
    Probe Portion
    Thunder Frosted Extra Strong portion
    Thunder Wintergreen Extra Strong portion
    Freight: 5.76

    Order total: 42.73

    Quantity of cans: 10
    Price per can: 4.27

    That looks like a decent order. I'm not sure about the Elixyr. I wouldn't buy that for taste, but if you think it'll give you an energy boost(and that's what you're looking for) give it a shot. Otherwise, I think you're good to go. I'm not crazy about white portions, but many prefer them, and it looks like you have a good mix of white and regular, so you should be able to tell from that.

    The only thing I could suggest is a tin of lös. That way you'd be able to try it, and see what you think. If you did go that route, I think I'd go with Gotland Gul(yellow). The flavor's pretty bold, so you should be able to taste it well. My other suggestions would be Ettan, Grov, and LD. You may need to develop your tastebuds before going with Ettan and Grov. LD is very good, but the Gotland it better, and it has a similar, but more complex character.

      Thanks for the input.

      I am ordering from BuySnus because they had more of what I wanted to try than GetSnus. I was excited when I found Probe portions on BuySnus. Not sure why I couldn't find it yesterday.

      I am not so sure about the los though. Not to sure about the handbaking part. Maybe if I make my next order, I'll be able to order from GetSnus because they seem to be cheaper and they'll send me one as a mystery can. Problem with that is who knows what brand/flavor I'll get.

          The order looks good overall. The trick that won me over to lös was finding a portion I liked and then getting the lös version of it.

            dude if you dont want to handbake, throw in a prismaster, a meager 2 dollar investment, and you might find that los is a worthwhile venture. it definitely takes a little more resolve to stick with than portions, but once you can keep a pris together its pretty enjoyable. i second ettan as a great los. love the taste of ettan.

              I have to say this, You have got to try (notice I said you GOT to.) General Extra Sterk portions! They are nothing like anything else general offers. I find they have more tobacco taste, are more peppery, while haveing alot less salt and citrus flavor as with the other general offerings! I am telling you the nic hit is beyond any dip you have EVER tried. It hits just like that first cig in the morning, comes on in about 3 mins and stays for a lil bit it rounds out at about 40 mins for me!

              My other suggestion to much protest would be jak's ice fruit, it is very tasty I will say you have to like bitter stuff though. Anyways, hope you enjoy your order and have fun!

                My next order will be for some General ES portions. I LOVE General Sterk portions already. I also wanna get some General maxi, and General ES Los.

                  If handbaking is a scary thought, try pressing against the rim of the can. It works for me. Another thing, don't get discouraged the first couple of times you use los, it will break up on you, with a little time you will get the hang of using it. Personally, I would not suggest gotlands for a first time use, it seems a little harder to deal with than anything else I have tried. People are different I know. Skruf and General ES stay together best for me.

                    I am going to go crazy making my order. I finally decided what I am going to order and when I clicked on submit, I got a message where I got a free gift. I can't decide to take the Prismaster (I didn't have any los selected) or two cans of Thunder Extra Blue. If I decide to get the PrisMaster, I'll have to change my order. I am leaning towards the Thunder because of the reviews for the PrisMaster and the fact I hate having to rinse my mouth out from the leftovers.

                    Too many decisions and not enough brain cells left. The PHD that I earned in school is coming back to haunt me.

                      damn, that's a difficult situation. i'd make a suggestion, but without having tried the thunder blue i can't say much other than i don't like the prismaster. if you get into los i STRONGLY URGE you to invest in an icetool.

                        getsnus is def cheaper, it's where i order my regulars from as they are the cheapest online if they have what you want.

                        however i use buysnus when i want to diversify, and northerner if there is a wait/delay on anything from the other 2.

                        mystery cans i have received from getsnus over the past few orders:
                        general mini mint
                        general wintergreen
                        general mini portion

                          i think a prismaster is probably cooler, but as you dont even have any los, a pris master is 2 bucks, 2 cans of thunder is like 6 dollars. thunders the better value and what id go with.

                              I finally did it. Now the waiting is going to kill me. I know there are some that you guys are going to give me a "I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen" once I try them but figured I'd end up trying them eventually.

                              On the Elixyr especially. If I don't like the flavor too much. I figure I could put a Camel or Discreet in there to give it some flavor. I like the idea of it being a pick me up. I love to play video games late on Friday nights and there are only so many Mountain Dews you can drink.
