nic overdose?

[Mr. Unloadingzone]

I've always lived with at least a portion in my mouth from the moment I woke up until I put in my last portion before I went to bed (yes, I slept with a portion in. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and change it out.) Always started the day with coffee. Never a problem.

Problems started when the Extra strong's came out. Cut out the snus-while-sleeping. Then cut back to 8mg/g snus. Now mixing regular and strong. As I write this, I'm numb, have a loud ringing in my ears, and am dizzy. Stomach is fine.

What I don't get is why I never had a problem with nic before. Wonder why now.....

Dude, I think that's a bad sign. Maybe stick to the 8mg plus some stark. I could be wrong though, just my $0.02.

Yea, it wasn't a lot of fun but I think I figured it out after reading Xobeloot's post. I've always been a portion snuser. I am on my first can of lös. I'm using a 3mm syringe with the needle end cut off as the prismaster my store sent me sucked.

I filled that needle up and kept compressing until I had juice running on my finger. The resulting pris was large enough I had to break it in two and put some on each side of my mouth.

Nic OD or how much snus I was using never occurred to me. I think I had the equivalent of 5 portions in my mouth. 8mg/g x 5 = 40gm/g nic! I was OK about 3 hours after I wrote that post. I'm fine today. That is something I'm not going to repeat!

Yeah I think someone measured out 1 gram of snus and it equated to 1.5ml of los so a full 3ml was at least 2 portions and depending on which snus you were using at the time could have amped it.

I'm wondering, has anyone figured out how many grams a Prismaster holds?

A full Prismaster holds @ 2 grams.

It was a lot more than 2 grams. I took a picture of it. I'm going to do that article on it when I get a chance and add an FAQ on it too. I can't be the first person do to that although I'd like to be the last! :roll:

BTW, I mis-spoke in my other post...It was Gotlandssnus so it was 9mg/g; not 8.

I will say though that the taste was unbelievably good..of course with that much snus, how could it not be powerful tasting? I don't think I'm a lös person though.... :shock:

[grenade01]

is it kind of weird that sometimes I like the nicotine poisoning? I mean sometimes Im just like gurgle gurgle and it's not fun trying not to hurl...

But other times im sitting there sweating and delirious and I kind of like the feeling...

not like i subject that to myself often, but its happened of course a few times...

lol

You KNow what really sux.

I cant have caffiene in the mornings or nicotine without it causing sever anxiety/panic.

Been a smoker since 15 was at 1-2 packs a day by 20 and then starting snusing and it got to where I was thinking snus is what caused it.

My rpoblem is that when I start drinking alcohol I can blow through a can of snus in a few hours.

Also, everytime I drink Coffee feels like im having a heart attack.

I can get away with red bull and some energy drinks but still fux wit my head.

Still loving snus, just have to pop in a xanax with it to enjoy it.

[deebocools]

ok, I love all my fellow snusers but grim, if you're getting anxiety and all sorts of unpleasantness from snus, I suggest you get back to basics and figure out exactly how much and when you should use snus(and caffeine). I mean I'm sure you already have to some extent, but I dunno, look out for #1

Just don't want to here the news in a few days "southern american man suffers nervous breakdown and goes on spree killing... blames a 'monster pris' of a deadly swedish tobacco product"

[rickcharles606]

I have always been a heavy coffee drinker, most days...three pots or more of Starbucks Goldcoast, and smoked nearly two packs of smokes a day. Found snus four days ago (put the smokes down for good)and have maintained my coffee intake, but haven't quite figured out what my nicotine intake should be. I'm narrowing it down though. Heavier nic portions in the morning and then going with reg nic portions throughout the day. Unless of course I feel the need to go with an ES.

[deebocools]

I envy you, I gauge a persons worth by how much coffee they drink without passing out.

I think it gets you closer to some kind of enlightenment

[captncaveman]

Working on the farm (my family farm owned by my dad grandpa and uncles) i would drink 3 huge thermos's full of coffee before lunch time, then about 4 to get me through till supper. My family lives on coffee, its like our fuel lol.

I've ODd on caffine before, pretty sure my heart beat was around 250 a minute, I was 16 at the time and in very impressive shape, I think I had around 16 shots of espresso in 4 hours.

about a year later I smoked some weed that my cousin brought over to a party... he negected to mention the angel dust mixed in, I puked my guts out, and I couldn't even move.

since then I no longer enjoy espresso and haven't touched weed.

I can only imagine caffine+nicotine OD being close to (at least for me) angel dust.

Ahh, the follies of youth.

I just bought my first pack of nasal snus today and respectively looking for some info on the net about OD-ing on it. :P

So hi, I'm new. *holds up spork*

Now to contribute I remember my first time OD-ing on plain ol' cigarettes I was pretty pissed off one morning in uni (yeah I started smoking about an year ago) cuz my best friend was nowhere to be seen 30 minutes past our arranged meeting and most of all not picking up her cell-phone.

So I'm just standing there smoking one after the other (at that time I'd only been smoking for about a couple weeks, cigarettes tasted different and you used to get these bursts of blood pressure taht you could feel in your teeth ) I hadn't eaten anything all morning and I suddenly started feeling extremely nauseus. So I run up to the bathrooms and with my hands flat against to the wall like a criminal about to be cuffed I nearly coughed and gagged my lungs out. Since I hadn't eaten anything there was nothing to throw up. It was one of those moments for me that I've felt in the most retarded.

***

Regarding caffeine I've never OD-ed since I have a naturally low BP and caffeine only acts to normalize it. When I'm working I usually have one energy drink for the day and several espressos every couple hours and it barely affects me.
