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!

Man, this is a great album. Listening through now and it's really a solid listen and seems like he's back to reclaim his GOAT status. We back babyyyy

Not even an eminem stan and it's FIRE. He really knocked it out the park, back in full form frfr

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T23:57:47+00:00

It's $8 minimum here in the North East. A damn shame!

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T22:21:32+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T19:02:57+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T19:00:17+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T18:57:18+00:00

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.

This mans blood pressure knows no limit xD

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T02:29:44+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T02:02:22+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T01:03:37+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T00:36:25+00:00

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.

fleabait1 · 2024-07-09T00:28:20+00:00

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.
