[PJRetallack]

Ive tried camel snus and double barreled it. looking for something stronger, i tried Skruf Stark Portion, and after 10 min I began to feel sick.. thoughts, reasons why?

you just got hit with too much nicotine, take it out and after a few minutes you will feel fine

first off welcome PJRetallack!

As you'll see I get to welcome 1 out of every 1000 people here as either Sage or Chad or lxr are on the ball

Going from camel to skruf stark is kind of like going from lite beer to straight scotch. both have same effective ingredient, but one gonna hit harder and faster. Camel purposely reduces the amount of nic that hits you due to PH levels that regulate that delivery. It's marketed as a supplement to cigarettes, not a replacement. Swedish snus, especially stronger one that the Skruff you mentioned focus on efficient delivery of nicotine.

That's the short answer. I'm sure others can add more!

Welcome to Snuson PJRetallack

A couple of things....

The skruff stark hits harder than just about any stark. Something even I am not fond of after 3 years using snus. Coming from regular, I would stick with regular 8 mg portions until you are comfortable, only then playing with other starks. The Thunder/Odens, even though much higher in nicotine, deliver their nicotine much smoother due to the PH of the snus.

the other issue you wil dal with when first making the switch to Swedish is the high salt content your body is just not used to. Takes about 7 -10 days typically for your body to acclimate to the salt.

But try again witha regular, I expect you will find it much easier.

PJRetallack,

Welcome to the power of real Swedish snus. Stick with regular portions for the time being. 8)

(doesn't say much for Camel now does it?)

[captncaveman]

Welcome to this fine forum. Just for shits and giggles you have want to try a tin of minis as well. Also may i suggest trying the Skruf early morning. It may work well with you in the am.

Keep trying them!

Yeah, on a comparative scale it is like you are saying "I've had a Keystone beer before and I wanted something stronger so I drank a water glass full of Tequila"

There is a large happy middle ground between the two. You have a lot of great options that will be a better fit. Enjoy.

One other small possibility, I guess, is that you might have a sensitivity to rose oil.

Another snusare, IIRC, mentioned something about Skruf, and only Skruf, affectiing them in some way. Since I have a couple of allergies, that popped into my head.

Anyone who can't handle a skruf stark is a little girl....
J/K it's too strong for me, too.

[tom502]

I think Thunder OP hits harder than Skruf Stark. Skruf Stark, GenES, nothing. Pop in a fresh Thunder, and wham! Haven't tried Odens ES yet.

I say "fresh" as I got an opened can from a buddy, it's still good, but a bit dried compared to the new cans I got, and it don't seem to hit like the new cans. Maybe it's just me.

[daruckis]

skruf makes me feel like shit, every single time. even the regular strength skruf whites.

Yeah, Skruf tends to hit harder for me too for some reason.

Hope you're feeling better and welcome!
