Hi Everyone
:)I'm coming off of dipping Copenhagen, and it's packed with nicotine. I'm writing to try and ascertain how snus nicotine content matches up with dip.
Years ago, when snus first same into style in America, my friend bought a can, and they sucked. They weren't strong at all. But I'm perusing Mr.Snuff and I'm seeing these cans of snus that say "Extra Strong" and "Ultra Strong," etc.
https://mrsnuff.com/index.php?cPath=303_309Do any of you have experience with snus? Do you by chance know what kind of nicotine content there is, as compared to dip, and even compared to snuff?
Thanks everyone

Starting a snus and vape reviews & info blog. It will start slowly, but as I get more stuff in to try, it will build up.
I have been using snus now for several years and love it. The mouth feel is a bit different and takes a little getting used to coming from dip but it is well worth the transition.
The nic content between Swedish snus and dip are equivalent (American snus like n9inchnails said is weak and is crap.)
I would start off with General ES (extra stark), Grov, Odens #3 ES, Gustavus, and Skruf. This will give you a good feel for what is out there (there is also Thunder Frosted if you like mint)
For more info a good place to look is The Dipper's Guide to Snus (google it)
Right now in the freezer I have 6 cans of Green Spyke, 3 cans of Captian Yankee, and 1 can of Odens extreme that will probably never get used and they are about a year old. I never could really get comfortable with the mouth feel and I ended up going back to Red Seal. However I will use General Mint snus at church or in the doctors office and it is real good to use as a sleep aid along with Dreamcatcher for me ( I am not advocating having snus in your mouth whilst trying to sleep). The benefit is if I forget to remove it before falling asleep I don't wake up to a ruined pillow and a pissed off mama bear!
Now on to what I think would be a more helpful note, loose snus is where I came the closest to mouth feel of dip. Now as you research loose you will find fancy methods and lofty opinions on how to get the loose snus to your mouth, personally I just used the pinch and shove method. You got a good start cause you dipped Cope, just your placement will be different with snus. What I did was take a pinch then placed that pinch on my reloading scales to see how close I was staying to the mg/g. Mr. Shaman is 100 percent correct on the removing from the mouth part.
Good luck with you snus adventure!

Mr.Snuff only offers Danish and Indian, so I guess I'll look elsewhere for Swedish. What is a reputable website that you guys use to order it?
The reason I'm getting off dip is because it's causing my gums to greatly recede and it gives me heartburn at times (I guess some of the juice gets down my throat).
Now, with snus pouches, would I still need to worry about my gums, or is snus formulated in a way that won't lead to tooth loss?
Also, I understand one doesn't need to spit using snus. So any juice from it is to be swallowed? As stated above, GI issues is one of the reasons I'm getting off dip and onto a more "healthy" mouth tobacco (I'm also snuffing).
Alright, the last thing, lol, I dip Copenhagen "original," it has the natural tobacco flavor to it. I don't like the fruity flavors they add into other types of dip. I just want it to taste like tobacco, just as I only buy tobacco smelling/tasting snuff, like Taxi Red, Viking Brown, and QSnuff Natural Smokers Blend.
With that said, which brands and types do you guys recommend that will satisfy my desire for snus that tastes like classic tobacco, and has a high nicotine content?
You guys are great! Thanks so much for your help :)

There is no fibreglass in dip, or any tobacco product, that is a huge myth, and just that, a myth. You get gum recession because the dip, or snus, inflames the gums, it is worse if you use dip or loose snus, using portioned snus or dip pouches reduces that risk but you still get a degree of recession. It does not cause tooth loss though.
I have used snus for over 8 years, my gums are fine. I mainly use portioned snus and my dentist has said there is no recession of my gums. Over time this will change, but there is nothing wrong with any of my teeth or gums.
You should always practice proper oral hygiene if you use any oral tobacco, do that and you will be fine. You will get gum recession, no doubt about it, but it happens with prolonged use over decades. Mint dips and snus will irritate your gums more than plain dip or snus so I would imagine you will notice recession quicker, but that's all it is.
If you don't brush your teeth then you only have yourself to blame. So keep on dippin and snusin!
I was confused about the above-quoted - Are you saying there's no tobacco in dip/snus?
Portion snus only for me, but yes a couple of stained pillows and wildly vivid snus dreams...... B-)

It goes on to say that white portions are generally 8mg of nicotine which was probably the case when the above was written, but strong white portions are common now. I personally lack the patience for white portions and prefer the flavor rush of original portions.
I'm used to dip pouches - just one type of pouch :P :)
