Dripping, Running, Burning

[Leprechaun78]

I like snus, I'm getting used to the taste. I like it. I don't like however when those juices start flowing and it burns my mouth and my throat and my stomach if I swallow it. I haven't tried white portions but they are supposed to be drier. Any tips or tricks to keep the regular portions from running? Or am I s.o.l. until I get some white pouches. It seems to vary as well how long it takes to start dripping too, does the right out of the fridge, been in my pocket for awhile have any effect?

Just curious, where in you mouth do you keep the snus?

FWIW, I had been using almost a year when suddenly, most regulars just started running more than I could take. I made a largely wholesale switch over to whites then, and I have been happy ever since. I use Thunder and Odens much, and still get Knox occasionally, as well as Nick and Johnny. And for some strange reason, I prefer the Regular Pall Mall over the White. Other than that, all I use are whites now.

It might not be for you. I've grown accustomed(and affectionate) towards the burn, it keeps my voice pleasantly scratchy.

Yeah...the original portions tend to drip a bit more than white. I know I'm not supposed to, but I spit alot while I use snus. I don't care if your not supposed to, when it juices up, it really tends to burn my throat (almost like a sore throat feeling). Of course I'll swallow some too, and it NEVER hase made me nauseous or even close when I do. The sore throat feeling, from spicy snus (like general) is a bit annoying, so I spit. The result....great snus, no burn.

That's a darn good question to ask. If you keep it by your back molars it's very close to your parotid glands, which make saliva and will cause the snus to run a lot more.

[Leprechaun78]

I keep it usually in the front right of my mouth. Not an unordinary place I don't think. Right over my canine.

[sagedil]

See I keep it pushed way back.

My best recommendation is just deal, spit as you have to, until you get some whites. I bet the whites will agree with you more.

LOL, the thread topic reminded me of a trip to Panama City when I was in college *sighs*, a long time ago..

I start mine in the front (over canine tooth), then when it really gets juicy have a few drinks of *insert drink of choice* and when the juicing event is over, move it farther back over my molars.

I've gotten to where I don't need a drink with a new portion, but I still prefer it.

I've only been using snus myself for a few days but don't have any burning in my throat, i am starting to get very sore gums after a few days of using it but im pretty sure this is just because they are not used to it and will pass in a few days.

I started off with the snus further round the side of my mouth but now i have it at the front, right up against that little bit of skin in the middle to the left or right of it, i find i get more taste here and when it go's off a little i can pull my lip tight on it to get more juice out.

Now this is the kinda strange thing for me as im not the sort of person who likes pain or has any SM sort of tendencies lol but sometimes i actually like the snus on my gums pain, am i unique in that lol?

I have also been placing the portion in flat although i heard you can fold them, do any of you experienced guys do that?

Cheers Lee.

[rickcharles606]

Yeah, after I've had a portion in for a bit, I'll fold it in two, just to get the last bits of goodness out of it..lol

Maybe I'm strange, but I actually like the drip! The more the better. I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth if I don't get a lot of juice. I haven't had any problems with burn or nausea if I swallow it yet.

[Leprechaun78]

It might be because I'm only using Skruf Stark and General ES. I think with the higher PH they have for the higher nicotine uptake that it would make a bit more burn. I'm waiting on my next order with a good mix of some strong and regular I'll see how things pan out then.

I like the drip too. I suck mine for it and Im reaching for regular portions cause the whites take too long
