5 cans of Los mocking me..

[c.nash]

I usually use an icetool until I lost it. But I have a couple ghetto icetools I've made..
Handbaking is just annoying to me. lol

Once you have it in, don't mess with it. And it's all about practice.

[LaZeR]

Don't **** with it too much either. Just basically shape the damn thing - form it. Press it together a little - not too much as you don't want it too tight, then shove it in. If you have to spit once as the few bits of loose snoose might annoy you, that's ok. You shouldn't have much breakage after the initial placement.

Bump..

Was helping out my wife found some some old syringes... Wallah I cut off the end and made a ghetto tool. Sitting here with a prilla or pris in my mouth whatever you call it. I notice when I shift my lip some falls.. I tried to pack it decent. Funny thing is I'm not noticing much flavor at all.. I'm using ettan. My normal methods of pushing down on my lip or occasional lick I know will end in disaster. Is it normal not to be as flavorfull as a portion? Is it because ettan is more of a milder snus? Should I hit the general or goteborgs Los next??

[EricHill78]

Whoa scratch what I first posted.. About flavor. Took since my last post it's hitting now..
Whoa!!! There's the Ettan I know and love.. With a power punch. The nic is starting to hit as well. Trying to avoid the mudslide. I was just talking to my mother in law she couldn't tell. This is real nice.

[EricHill78]

Overall a great experience.. Still enjoying as we speak.. I'll stick with the ghetto tool with direct placement under my lip.. The flavor is intense, like I've never had Ettan before. Now looking forward to trying the general, goteborg's, and grov Los.
There are tiny bits here and there but I'm enjoying them as part of the exerience. Los is awesome. Just wish I ordered more! Thanks everyone for the great advice. If anyone wants to donate to an Eric's icetool fund that would be appreciated lol I kid!

Seems I'm late to the party................still you might want to check out the Dippers Guide to Snus. It concerns all things los (baking, preventing slides, tools, etc...)

Lots of collective wisdom there from a lot of folks. You might find it helpful (scroll through it and find the topics that intrest you)

You can find the Guide here

Do you inject it directly into your lip or put it in with your fingers?

I've never tried anything other than taking it out of the syringe and putting it in place with my fingers.

[EricHill78]

Thanks Snusdog I'll check it out. Actually I've already read your guide to snuff. I've been snuffing for a couple weeks now it was a great help. The one thing that really helped with that was keeping it in the front part of my nose, and just smelling it. I'll give the dippers guide a quick look see.

I injected it.. Placed it in the sweet spot. I'd rather not handle the stuff to be honest right now. This was just my
third attempt and I was scared it was going to fall apart again in my fingers.

[EricHill78]

Attempt 3.. Used the same ghetto tool method with General Los. No slides, everything is perfect. I guess third time is the charm. Makes me feel stupid I was so nervous about it.. All the advice made it all the much easier. Thanks everyone

Glad you got it worked out. It'll get easier and easier the more you use lös. After awhile it'll be as easy as using no snus. You'll be able to switch sides and move it around, just like portions :^)

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Don't forget to re-order! Losslessnes is really bad once you get hooked

[EricHill78]

Thanks guys I appreciate it.. Oh yeah from now on I'll add some Los to my future orders. I'll primarily use portions for out and about and work. Los will be an evening treat.

[bipolarbear1968]

Eric, Once you get the hang of loose snus.....you'll use that for "out and about and work" as well
