Okay I'll start this thread by first saying, yes I've watched Zero's hand-baking video, and it was very helpful. However, I need guidance to say the least, lol.
My Experience with Ettan Los:
So I started baking my first pris and all was going good until it fell apart on me. It did this a couple of times so I thought, maybe I'm making it too big. I cut down on the snus used and tried making a smaller pris.
Bingo. The smaller pris turned out perfect. It was keg shaped and a lot smaller than the one Zero made, but it was still pretty big. After placing the keg-shaped-mini-pris under my lip I immediately noticed how awkward it felt. It felt as if I stuck a big wad of play-doh under my lip. I looked in the mirror my lip was bulging out like crazy. Is this normal?
It wasn't comfortable at all. It was nothing compared to the comfort of portions, which lay perfectly between the lip and gum. I remember thinking, how do people do this?
Since it was so uncomfortable I decided to push on my lip to compress the pris a little bit so my lip didn't bulge a couple centemeters--bad idea. Half the pris ended up running down all over my front teeth, it tasted great but looked disgusting, and made me a little nausaus from swallowing half of it.
So I just wanted a couple of questions answered:
1. Is it possible to make a pris in a different shape? Maybe similar to the shape of a portion so it doesn't make your lip stick out quite so much.
2. How do you taste loose snus without messing with it? Do you have to just let it sit there?
3. Is it unhealthy to swallow this stuff? lol I hope not.
On a good note, I thoroughly enjoyed the taste, and the nicotine hit right away. I'm not a big fan of the texture, or the mess it made in my mouth, but it was fun baking it. Maybe I was meant to stick with portions, even though I would like to master the skill of loose-snusing.
Thanks for any replies!
