"Snux X" make your own Snus ... couple of questions

[daruckis]

someone please tell me what rapp flavoring is.

[Experimental Monkey]

Goteborg's Rape flavoring, daruckis.

EDIT: Similarily, Gruv is a Grov-like flavoring.

I thought it was Lil Wayne flavored.

LOL! Maybe Flava Flav flavored? Each kit comes with a huge can and a free chain to wear it around your neck!

I always wondered what "overrated" would taste like.

Thanks, EM, I was wondering about those flavorings, too. I'll have to add a bottle or two of Rapp flavoring to my next order.

OK, I have a SnusX on the way, but I have a question for those that can answer it.

I wanna try 1 can 1st. I don't know measurements like ml, but I do know teaspoon. How much flavor liquid should I use for 1 can of 20 portions, with the idea that I got 2 bottles of flavoring coming for a whole bucket, and then, how much total liquid for 1 can?

Thanks.

2 US teaspoons = about 10 ml.

So, I'd try 2 tsp water + a bit less then 1/4 tsp flavor if you stick with non-metric measures.

Or you could drop by a Walgreens and pickup a graduated syringe: http://www.walgreens.com/store/catal...001629-product

I think Pipensnus used these syringes for measures and I think it is a great idea.

[PipenSnus]

Yes, I definitely recommend getting a syringe or two from a drug store for measuring water and/or flavorings. 10 ml is a good size, although you may want to experiment with other sizes. You don't even have to ask a pharmacist for the oral syringes -- they're usually on display with the pill boxes and other medication measuring devices.

I personally used 1 ml of flavoring to 9ml of water. A total of 10 ml per one can. I am not sure what that converts to in teaspoons.

[IceBleu]

I just tried the Smoke flavor I mixed up Friday. Think smoky BBQ. It's not bad at all, but it's making me hungry. Time to go make breakfast.

[tom502]

OK, thanks all. So, 2 tsp total liquid for one can, and less than 1/4 tsp of flavoring. It seems if I got 16ml of flavoring total for a bucket, and if that equals 20 cans, is that right? Then it would be less than 1 mil of flavoring per can. And if one tsp is 5 ml, then it would be well, less than 1/5 a tsp, if I added it all equally. I think.

Your bucket will contain between 17 and 19 "cans" of 24 portions, in my experience.

Here's a conversion calculator: http://www.unitconversion.org/unit_c...er/volume.html

I admittedly rounded the numbers a bit, you'd mentioned that you were looking for a stronger menthol flavor, you mentioned you wanted to use teaspoons and not metric (I've never seen a 1/5 teaspoon measure - my wife has a 1/4 teaspoon in the drawer), the difference between 1/5 tsp and 1/4 tsp is quite small, etc.

It's not, IMO, required to be that exact.

IMO, if you get 15 cans of menthol snus that you really like the flavor of and end up with 2 or 3 cans left that you can flavor with something else - you're still ahead.

So, yeah, I'd go for flavor over mathematical precision in this case.

[tom502]

Cool. so for 1 can, I'll use a total of 2tsp water, of that, 1/4tsp will be the flavor. I'll try that as my first experiment.
