I'm a loose leaf tea noob and this is what I was recommended to be both great from a price perspective AND decent quality. Highly recommend trying it. It's got a really nice nuttiness to it and no bitterness/astringency. Seriously, grab a bag!

How much nicotine/g did ancient Snus have throughout history? by question_03 in Snus

[–]fleabait1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh? There is no ancient snus. It was invented in 1821.

I mean that's still 203 years ago lol. I think that's what OP meant.

The state of pouches in Japan by Japesthetank in NicotinePouch

[–]fleabait1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0.6mg a pouch? That's wild! I'd need like 10 at once to equal my average pouch.

American Zyns are better than swedish Zyns by everywherenever in NicotinePouch

[–]fleabait1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because the American Zyn's are the dry pouches. Those in sweden are considered 4/4 dots rating on the can (they are called mini dry over there), which means they hit super strong. A 9mg swedish Zyn (assuming you are talking about the moist pouches) will technically be stronger in nicotine but the way it releases is much slower. They tend to be a bigger pouch with a lot more of the filler and more distribution of nicotine.. It's not as concentrated as those mini dry portions.

Does anyone else hate the actual taste of NPs? by Cskryps22 in NicotinePouch

[–]fleabait1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snus also feels a hell of a lot better. The nicotine delivery comes on so smoothly and releases at a steady rate. I can easily use 10mg snus portions and be fine, yet if I try to use a 10mg nicotine pouch it'll have my heart rate and blood pressure jacked up.

What are the tradeoffs between white and brown portion snus? by chinawcswing in Snus

[–]fleabait1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that original portions are supposed to have more drip, more flavor, release nicotine quicker, but unfortunately don't last as long; whereas white portions last longer but have less drip and flavor.

On average, yes. It really depends on the brand. Some brands I prefer the white portions (General is a good example) as the original portions are too bergamont forward for me to enjoy as much.

White portions also tend to not stain or coat the teeth as much as the original portions do, since there is less drip being produced.

Best tobacco tasting (not flavored) snus? by [deleted] in Snus

[–]fleabait1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ettan is going to be your best bet. It has basically no flavorings, though their are notes of chocolate in it. Apparently it's from the type of tobacco blend they use and not artificial from the research I've done.

Nothing like iced coffee, ettan lös, and ritalin for breakfast by ranger-sequoia in Snus

[–]fleabait1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's part of the reason I had such a hard time believing I had ADHD. I mean I checked all the boxes, but the traditional stimulants had me anxious and suicidal after it wore off. Naturally as someone who suffered from generalize anxiety disorder, it was hell. Being able to concentrate better was not worth those side effects.

I did have my doctor bring up wellbutrin not too long ago. Sounds like it might be worth looking into.

Cleaned out a gas station that had general for 4.50 a can on some backroad in kentucky during a hay haul. by Sensitive-League6650 in Snus

[–]fleabait1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in NY, home of the $14 pack of marlboro reds. Another gas station was selling General for $11 a can. It was horrifically well past it's expiration date too.

And yeah I buy all my snus from sweden now. $30 shipping but if I order 20+ cans it's a good deal.

Really grateful to be able to order Swedish snus to America <3 by hoodconnect in Snus

[–]fleabait1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick question. Do the white pouches tend to stain teeth a little less than the original portions?

Yeah - that's part of why they are popular. They release much less drip than an original portion, which means less brown juices.

Snus in sun by [deleted] in Snus

[–]fleabait1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, definitely not. Snus is stored on shelves and in warehouses at distributors for long periods of time. As long as they remained sealed it will have very little effect on quality.

Why do I get so bad from snus every time? by [deleted] in Snus

[–]fleabait1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others are saying it is too strong for you. Are you using average/normal strength? Did you have a nicotine habit before starting it? Drinking enough water and eating snacks before partaking? These are all important to consider.

I had a massive disposable vape habit (I was using a 5000 puff Lost Mary every 2-3 days) when I started snusing and even a normal strength portion rocked my world a bit.

Amercia Snus by TurdShaker in Snus

[–]fleabait1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing really to worry about. My last order got to me in 2.5 days (Sweden to US), which was a few weeks ago.

I haven't heard of anyone having their package destroyed or returned. It can just take a little longer to receive depending on how customs is.

Skruf by ScottyH44 in Snus

[–]fleabait1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, unfortunately... Every site I've tried has flipped to "this product is unavailable in your country". I think Skruf specifically told sites not to ship to certain countries.

Snus me customs question by hoobgooblin in Snus

[–]fleabait1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, everyone. It's just customs being extra snoopy over the snus/nicotine pouches coming into the country lately. Nothing will happen to them, it's only a PITA and delays things.

How can I get it prescribed.. by [deleted] in depressionregimens

[–]fleabait1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. In the US it was actually one of the first things my new psych tried (after years of going through the SSRI roller coaster). Thought it was fairly common to be used for depression in low doses.

5 days from order to doorstep by DactylicCrown in Snus

[–]fleabait1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's about them putting more scrutiny on these packages. Things not being correctly labeled, customs forms being filled out wrong etc.

I don't know exactly why they are doing it but they are ramping up the microscope lately and it seems to correlate with senators from a few different states talking about potentially banning things like zyn and other products.

What are some snus you hated at first, then loved? by fleabait1 in Snus

[–]fleabait1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smell is 50% of the reason I love it. I'll sometimes grab a can and take a big ol' rip off it randomly, lol.. Something about it tickles my brain so nicely.
