    Getting Out of Hand

    I have been using snus for a few months now and like everyone I keep trying new stuff. The problem is it's starting to appear as though I have never met a snus I didn't like. Even if I hated it yesterday, I might crave it today. I know that doesn't sound like much of a problem but the issue is I am starting to carry more and more. It started with one can and has turned into: 1 can with a divider Jakobssons Mint on one side the other side Jakobssons Wintergreen,Off Road Wintergreen and Thunder Wintergreen. In the catch lid General Ekstra Sterk. can 2 Thunder Frosted Regular,Mini,Long+ and in the catch Lid Thunder Berry. all that plus 1 can Loose.
    This can't be normal. I actually do switch up what I use all day so it is worth carrying all that. But it's winter and I have a coat with pockets to hold it all. What the Hell am I going to do in the summer?
    Has anyone else gone through this? Is it something that will eventually fade with time? The only thing I can think to do is just pick 2 I want to use and carry 1 can. I noticed if I mix snus like Wintergreen and Berry in the same can it just doesn't taste right when I go to use it. Any suggestions?

    Have you checked out 'pill boxes' ... there are even some for carrying on your person.

    Check Walmart, Target or any pharmacy ... ya never know what you might find with compartments that might suit your purpose.

      LOL. Yea, it's normal. Most people eventually settle on one or two favorites. Me personally, I could live with just Offroad Frosted and General White, but I prefer to have lots of different flavors.

        Don't happen to work in law enforcement do you? Sounds like something a cop would say... on your person

        Actually I am curious as to what would happen if I got pulled over and had snus on me... I get my 'person' and car searched literally every time... and for some reason I can see this going from 'Whats in the can' to 'get the dog' real quick...

        Anyways, the pill box is a good idea, although I don't really have this problem... At most I keep some extra snus of a different variety in the catch lid.

          Well It's normal for me.... I do the same as you even after 8 months of snusing, But I find it easier to use 2 am/pm pill containers to carry around my varity of snus that you can get at wallmart,CVS,Walgreens etc. They snap closed and seal vey well and will hold up to 3 portions in each side.. I also carry a can with a portion or portions in the can and catch lid or if I want loose will have loose in the can and another portion in the catch lid if I know I'm going to be gone all day... Mostly I just go out with the 2 am/pm pill containers so I can carry 4 different snus... I use the clear one for reg snus and a green one for sterks and xtra sterks, This way I know what is what... Now if I can only remember what sterk was on what side

          These are what I use:

            Haven't had a run in with a cop since snusin, but the security guard at a Green Day show was asking questions about it. I just told him what is was, and he was like "ok, whatever'.

              Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I used to carry lots of different snus in a cooler, and still do if I'm gonna be out all day. For routine walking around, I carry up to 2 lös varieties, and up to 2 portion varieties.

                I got arrested with snus and snuff on me. The cop looked in all my cans cause one of them had weed in it. He didnt say anything about the snus or snuff, but Im pretty damn sure the arse stole a portion or two and was using it like dip.
                @snus boost
                Different people have different opinions when it comes to using different types of snus in one day. I was like you when I was a few months into it. Eventually I got to a point where I was satisfied with just one can at a time, however in the winter months when a jacket is on, I may have 2 cans on me. In the summer they tend to dry out fast on me cause I work out doors, and gets HOT here in Jersey, Im sure you know seeing as your in neighboring Delaware!

                  I usually only have two cans open at a time, a regular and a sterk.

                    It's been a while since I've worried about law enforcement issues.
                    Actually, I meant 'on your person' as opposed to in a cooler, glove compartment, etc.

                      I've been snusing for 3-4 years now, and at the present moment, I have the following cans open and in my schoolbag:

                      Thunder Frosted Long+
                      Offroad Frosted
                      Skruf Stark
                      Skruf Tranbar
                      Taboca
                      Thunder Coola

                      As you can see, I can never make up my mind in what I want

                          It sounds normal to me. Most people go through that phase where everything tastes good. You might find that over time you'll burn out on some flavors, and get down to a few favorites.

                              I have lots of los that I like but I only open one can at a time. Florida is not the best for keeping snus fresh...especially when it gets hot in the summer. I take 1/4 of a can of los or only the portions I plan on using +2 in an old mini can during the meat of the summer.

                              I also keep all portions in the freezer....even open cans and just take what I will use.
