I usually buy Zyn in bulk but was away from the house and ran out so went to a gas station. All out of Zyn but they had Rogue so I tried the Wintergreen 6. Here's why it's better:

Flavor lasts longer. The flavor of Zyn goes away pretty quick and then you just have a slimy piece of paper in your mouth. Rogue lasts longer and so you use less of them.

The shape is better. Rogue is thicker so it stays put in your lip better, and also makes it easier to spit out when done.

Rogue is cheaper.

Rogue has 20 pouches per can, Zyn only has 15.

I've converted and if you're looking for an alternative to Zyn while the shortage is still going on, give Rogue a try. I like it a lot better.

I get Rogue whenever I see it but no gas stations near my house sell it. It also makes my mouth sore if I keep one in all day like I prefer.

I think the nicotine hits for longer than zyn, too.

ON is better than both. But a guy I work with let me try some he ordered online called Lucy Breakers and those were better than ON

I’ve been thinking about trying these. Sorry if this question is dumb, but do you spit like this is a dip pouch?

No they're spit-free.

Zone is the correct answer when it is US based companies that are readily available. White Fox and Vargarda are the best I've had though when in the Nordic countries.

Sounds like you and Rogue are pretty tight. Congrats.

I've dipped Copenhagen snuff for 31 years. During duck season, I was introduced to ZYN, and really liked it. I totally swapped over to ZYN, exclusively dipping that for 3 months.

Over this time, I noticed my voice was getting hoarse. I attributed it to every other possibility and finally decided to check out if ZYN could be the source of it. That's when I noticed ZYN is nicotine salt. By having ZYN in my mouth 8 hours or so a day, I was essentially curing my vocal chords.

I tried Rogue, whose ingredients are more vague. It didn't help. I never could establish this definitively, but I believe Rogue is also some form of salt.

Over the last month or so, I've switched back to Copenhagen, and the hoarseness has totally resolved.

Rogue's are too juicy..

On's are powdery

Zyn's are too expensive for 15 (but they seem stronger)

Sesh are the best imo but are not sold very many places.

Bucees sells Sesh but not Zyn

I'm totally out of the loop on this Zyn stuff, but something tells me this can't be good for you.

It's probably the safest way to ingest nicotine

powdery? They all have powder inside the pouch. How is one more "powdery" than the others? You're not supposed to snort them, baw

Rogue feels more like the grizzly pouches I used to dip which is preferred to the smaller pouches like zyn. Plus that Mango flavor is superior to all others. Zyn coffee is a close second, but again that pouch size doesn’t sit as well between the gums.

Wasn't there some poster here who got addicted to this stuff and then started dipping tobacco to wean himself off Zyn? I swear I remember that post.

I also knew a girl who lived with a recovering addict and started taking his methadone and got addicted to it.

Because the pouches are less filled and the material of the pouch is a bit stiffer.

So as the pouch moves the powder inside moves more and is more detectable by your sense of touch so it feels more powdery.

Zyns are stuffed. Like a pillow. Therefore the individual grains don’t shift around and you don’t necessarily feel the powder in it.

Also I think On’s powder is grainier and a zyn is more fine.

Either way I’ve kicked zynning. It just made me feel tired and gross.

Congrats on kicking the habbit! The on's feel less slimy to me. I have finally stopped trying to quit nicotine after many failed attempts. It relaxes me and I finally have a method that I don't find disgusting. It's easily concealable, tastes pretty good and takes the edge off when I need it. It's also relatively safe compared to other forms of nicotine. I wish I had never tried nicotine all those years ago but you know what they say, you can wish in one hand....

Zyn, Rogue, and On all seemed to make my teeth fillings feel weird after a few days. I don't know if it affects the metal or what.

I still like Skoal Snus better than any of the white powdered pouches. I'm just hoping the pasteurized tobacco in Snus is a safe as they make it out to be.

A buddy let me try a Rogue pouch and while the flavor was good, it was almost too much flavor. I like it better than Zyn but not better than 8mg On! pouches.

I’m glad to have this information. I was just about to start my summertime diet.
