2-3 hours?

[RedMacGregor]

I've had a general dry mint mini in for going on 3 hours now.. finally learned to quit poking at them with my tongue, and that's helped any abrasive irritation. is 3 hours usual? I'm still getting a seepage of flavor and feeling the nicotine, seems like a long time based on what i've read here.

That is a long time, especially for a mini. But if it works for you, keep on rockin it.

Yea I would say that 3 hours is a little on the long side but not abnormally so. I find that when I have a pris (of los) in and don't fool with it, it tends to last longer. My average time is 1 to 1 and a half hours but I've had them go 3 hours (but they are usually bitter and pretty spent by then).

I keep a snus in anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours,. Mostly depends on my mood and such. The mini mints are highly flavored, so 3 hours isn't that strange. But you stopped getting any nicotine after about an hour.

I think the nicotine does fade out after an hour or so, but some snus seems to have a lot more staying power than others. N&J stays flavorful for just about ever, as does the Skruf (both los and portion).

Knox, on the other hand, dies on me within a half an hour...

... yeah, 2 to 3 hours isn't unusual for me. And keeping snus in longer is possibly a stepping stone towards moderation. I'd like to move from chain snusing to a more intermittent pattern of daily use.

[skruflover]

i usually take mine out after 20-25 mins..maybe a little longer if it's white portions

[deadohsky]

So far the longest i've had a portion in is around 2 hours.

I leave my snus in for a minimum of 1 hour, and as long as 8(while sleeping), and 4(awake). My average time is probably 75 minutes.

Those mini mints though are packed full of flavor. I think those are more of an oral fixation thing rather than nicotine.

I agree and was just about to type the same thing. Lots and lots of flavor in those little things.

........or maybe its simply that frugel scottish fellow that sucks the last drop of everything he consumes, lmao


3 hours isn't too abnormal.

I'm in a minority I think -- I max out at 1 hour and sometimes ditch it after just 15 minutes. Then again these days I only really use odens ES for portions at work and when I'm out, and a variety of los at home. Los at home stays in 30-60 min and with strong portions at work and such I don't tend to enjoy it for as long and focus more on just getting a quick fix. Either way I mostly don't like to have snus in all the time, and if on occasion when I do, I like to get a fresh snus after just a little while.

[sagedil]

Roo, not the minority. Average time for Swedish users is WAY less than Americans. So maybe you are just more of a traditionalist. :wink:

You sleep while using snus? I admire that but I am afraid I would choke on a portion if I tried that.

[Karanya]

An hour is my max... most get ditched (and immediately replaced) after 30 to 45 minutes. I'm a nic-fiend, though.
