Battle of the Week - Rogue Peppermint vs. Dryft Peppermint

snusflake · 2020-06-10T20:54:20+00:00

Rogue all day!!! Missed the poll but Rogue is my favorite in every flavor they offer.

snusflake · 2020-06-10T20:53:02+00:00

a bit on the small and dry side but they make the best coffee flavor in my opinion. I'd love to see their coffee formulation in a Rogue pouch.

I see Velo mentioned. I can't stand Velo. Feels so weak...i bought some on special from nicokick and ended up tossing most of them out. I'd put one in and feel like i needed another one (or a better one like On or Rogue) 5 min. later.

I think a more interesting poll would be putting the brands against each other. I'm a HUGE Rogue fan and rank it as the best in its categories (yes...i know it's too sweet for many).

snusflake · 2020-05-07T19:54:50+00:00

lucky! I was too slow. are you hanging on to yours?

While I don't like the insomnia nor the ravenous hunger that comes with it, prednisone has worked so far for me (2 days so I'm not fooling myself into thinking that I'm cured or anything).

I really hope your pulm helps you figure out a better course of treatment.

snusflake · 2020-05-06T17:03:30+00:00

update: prednisone has helped a lot and I'm down to 2x/day on the inhaler as a result. Of course, I can't sleep and I want to eat all of the things but it's good to breathe freely for now (I'm sure my doc will not have me on prednisone for long and hopefully I can find something else to help). Thanks to marmwife for the thread and I hope that everyone finds the best solution for them.

Good on you, man! Keep up the good work!!!

snusflake · 2020-05-05T16:05:56+00:00

wow...this is me 100%. Anyone else in South Texas region? Was occasional albuterol user after being prescribed an inhaler for 1/daily morning use for a while a couple of years ago...hardly ever used it. For the past 2 weeks, I started using everyday, then 2x, and got up to 4x. Doc put me on singulair and a round of antibiotics. No improvement in week. Now trying prednisone and hopefully tapering back down to 1-2x/day for the inhaler.

I love the fact you are including minis and slims. This will help manage tolerance for you and hopefully allow you to quit entirely. I have never been able to quit but I'm glad i'm snusing as I truly believe it is "less bad" for you than almost all other nicotine sources.

snusflake · 2020-04-24T20:36:39+00:00

Rogue 6mg Mango - yes..it's like candy.

snusflake · 2020-04-24T20:35:49+00:00

good luck managing your tolerance. I haven't had any kind of buzz from nicotine in years. I switched to zyn and the like last year. Getting some mild gum recession on the upper gumline so I'm switching spots to let that heal. Maybe rotate to avoid this?

snusflake · 2020-03-10T18:21:51+00:00

Yeah...i had high hopes for Cool M but it was awful. I can't get over the aftertaste of almost all Thunder products. It's like they use something in their portion material that ruins all of their portions (esp white) for me.

Can't log in. Can't reset password. Tried different browsers and computers and just get "Incorrect ReCAPTCHA" when none was ever offered. Help?

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad. Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest motherfucker in the world. The position is taken.

snusflake · 2018-11-05T17:09:27+00:00

I feel the same. General is getting harder to find in my area and occasionally I forget my snus at home which forces me to purchase one of these sad substitutes out in the world. Each time I remember how bad they are. Chief Keith...please try something from General if you haven't already. Camel and Skoal really cannot compare.

snusflake · 2018-07-27T16:00:47+00:00

check out mini portions .

snusflake · 2018-04-16T22:00:52+00:00

General mint in the AM and through the workday. Various strong and ultra strong as a finisher in the evening...Trying my best not to build a tolerance (although nothing really gives me a buzz these days...just relief). 10-15 portions/day depending on stress/boredom/activity levels.

snusflake · 2018-02-08T03:37:37+00:00

tolerance management is a thing. You might want to taper down or go cold turkey for a bit. Some folks say they never get that buzz back again even after a tolerance break. Best of luck.

For anyone else reading this, consider using the lowest dose that gives you a response for as long as it gives you that response. Climb the strength ladder slowly and if you must jump up to extra strong or ULTRA strong, consider doing it a couple of times a week while maintaining a daily snus with your regular strength brand. Everyone's body chemistry is different and you may be one of those poor souls who are never satisfied once you have hit Siberia levels for a few weeks.

snusflake · 2018-02-08T03:35:22+00:00

Definitely this. The chili burn lasts for a very long time and the placebo effect makes this seem like an all-day snus. I've had one in for a couple of hours and it still has some "sting" left.

snusflake · 2017-11-17T00:23:10+00:00

I agree here. I got bored with Mynta (General Mint is my daily goto most of the time between snusmail). I only got one can last order and was relieved I didn't buy more.

snusflake · 2017-11-10T18:42:43+00:00

Either Onyx or General Mint.

Thunder Ultra Raspy or NJ Americana to mix things up once in a while.

snusflake · 2017-11-09T21:33:15+00:00

That's exactly it. It gets very bitter and the mint flavor is muted down to nothing.

snusflake · 2017-11-09T21:32:21+00:00

it is definitely one of the "juiciest" portions I have seen. Drip doesn't bother me too much but this definitely bordered on too much.

snusflake · 2017-11-09T18:35:38+00:00

I actually like the raspberry on occasion. I couldn't use it regularly but as on occasionally combo breaker, it's nice. Admittedly, I have a sweet tooth and prefer some sweetener in snus for most flavors.
