Los Question

[b0gman]

This is mostly for lossers(hehe) i have recently decided to give Los a try and the guy at SM in richmond sent me 3 cans of gen los and 2 cans gen ES and 1 can gen white... So im trying to use the los he sent me(I informed him that the local cigar joint i get my stuff from was out of stock wasnt trying to get them in trouble was trying to find a place other than that which had SM products as an unsolicited apology he sent me overnight 6 cans of snus and a prismaster.). Ive made an Icetool out of an oral syringe and I have the prismaster that he sent me and the prilla constantly falls apart when im trying to get it in my mouth... Anyone here have any suggestions for a los nube.

And as a side note as this smoke free meter climbs im disturbed by how much i used to smoke and how expensive it was

check out the dippers guide under snus tips and tricks. other than that, los usage is only going to get better from experience.

sage how is your los experiment going

Im slightly intoxicated, so ill answer best i can.


I use to always use my Icetool, they r beautiful devices, but I always make a pris just using my fingers to compress and shape and dont have problems with prillas breaking or running too soo.

About 45% of the time i used my icetool ( only certain brands ) the pris always just breaks in half in my lip really quick.

GL wiht Los, Its delicious and I very unique way to enjoy real Swedish Snus

Like it always has. Just haven't reached for it in a few days, just always keep grabbing a portion cause that is what I always seem to want.

I'm finding it easiest to just hand bake. I make a pellet shapped pris, use my thumb and hold open my lip, and stick it in.

Make sure to give it a good compression with your finger (or the snus lid) before ejecting from the tool. The more the better in the beginning until you get a feel for how to manage it in your mouth.

Are you "injecting" the pris directly into your lip or popping it into your hand before placement? Sometimes overhandling can cause additional breakage.

If you are already going straight from the tool to your lip, try to keep it horizontal to you gum line (don't inject it straight up). I usually try to place it right around my canine and as I depress the plunger, I move the tool towards the front of my month at the same time. The pris will actually move the tool forward for you as it comes out if you relax your grip a bit.

Anyways, it may seem a little difficult at first but you'll get the hang of it in no time if you keep it up. It's a personal preference, but I think it's worth the effort!

Also, as sigg recommended, try really compressing the pris while it is in the tool (usually done by putting the opened end of the loaded tool against the bottom of the can or lid and then pressing down firmly on the stopper/slide arm of the tool.

One more thing, watch that you are not making the pris too big
