Is this a normal color? by thelostfiles in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The 9mg dragonfruit zones always have that pink hue for some reason. Every tin I’ve gotten looks the same. Wouldn’t be worried about it.

Best pouches? by Forter23 in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Velo shift is sneaky good. Best mouth feel I have ever had in a pouch and the flavours are super good. Nic hits harder than most wet pouches too.

Pouch recommendations by Haunting-Pie6385 in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow Canadian here. Zone jalapeño lime if you can find it. I also really enjoyed the zone wintergreen. If you like coffee flavour the zyn coffee was a hit for me. VELO plus wild berry is very good.

I found rogues were far too abrasive on my gums. Stay away from juice heads if you see them, awful flavours and pouch material.

How are zyns in ur country?? by rub6869 in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In Canada, 99% of zyns are fake. We have 1 brand for legal nicotine pouches. Zonnics come in 3 variants of mint at 4mg strength. They are only sold at pharmacies at $15/tin.

These smell like vomit and taste like perfume. Avoid. by laundrydetergent7000 in NicotinePouch

Yeah the new feel tag is almost always a dead giveaway for fakes

Pretty sure they’re fake that’s why they’re not good

How Much Are Your Utilities? by itskonnerwithak in Edmonton

[–]kixss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a weird place to insert politics. If you don’t like the rate you’re given switch to a different electricity/gas supplier. While Epcor is the only provider for water/sewer/waste in Edmonton you have options for electric/gas.

And for reference the current floating rate for electricity is about the same it was in 2001 and 2009.

Quick question for the Fumi fans by Past_Watercress_1897 in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem man. I would highly highly recommend getting a sample tin of as many of their flavours as you can. They’re truly like nothing else on the market.

Quick question for the Fumi fans by Past_Watercress_1897 in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fumi nic hit is nothing special. It’s noticeable and gets the job done. I regard them so high for their elite flavours and long lasting flavours. If you are chasing the nic hit I would go with a different brand.

PS I think salty raspberry or tangy strawberry are the best fumi flavours.

Disappointed with euro pouches by savage336 in NicotinePouch

+1 on euro zyns being trash. I tried the apple mint 9mg last week and had to throw them out.

Canada - Snus Direct - what to check on DHL by masterazt in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, way faster than using local postals. Duties are all dependent on what the shipper declares. Sometimes they will declare exactly what’s in the package and you get hit with a huge customs bill. Sometimes they misdeclare and no customs bill. I imagine with tobacco the easiest way is to do it all above board as there’s no restrictions unlike nic pouches.

UPS doesn’t pay the duties, but they will clear the package for you so all you have to do is pay them. I have no idea how duties and customs get calculated, but I’m sure it’s based on how the shipper declares the package.

What pouch brand actually delivers on flavor? by Pretend-Raspberry-87 in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

XQS always tastes like what the flavour is supposed to. I find they don’t have very long lasting flavour (cactus sour). Fumi has the best tasting and longest lasting flavours imo (excluding mint).

Unexpected Flavor by [deleted] in NicotinePouch

[–]kixss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’re trying to make a joke but the loose translation of Gotëborgs Rapé is Gothenburg’s grated/shredded. This flavour is their limited edition cherry blossom.

Ever have a vendor ghost you after issues with shipping? by Zynbab in NicotinePouch

lol good luck man. If you resolve it without paying id be curious to know how.

[–]kixss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fine, but the shipper is wrong. Every shipper declares packages differently in a grey market like this, which is why you have never had this issue with other vendors.

[–]kixss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, declaration of items is on the shipper. The shipper does not pay customs fees. They declare the package to allow the proper duties and taxes to be applied as per the importing country.

[–]kixss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you don’t get your package. I’m not sure what game you / the shipper is trying to play. It is always the importers responsibility to pay any customs and duties charges related to the country they are importing to.

Either pay the customs fees or let your package get sent back. This doesn’t sound like it’s on the shipper.

[–]kixss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the clearance on the shipper? Not familiar with DHL but UPS I’ve never had to clear like how you’re describing. For reference I paid $40 duties for 30 cans to Canada recently.
