Tobacco-free nicotine/ dip alternative - update reviews in OP

Update: board was right, rogue and zyn are where it’s at.
Pros: Both last a long time, no spit, clean and more discreet at the office. I think the best combo is a rogue and a zyn together as the rogue has a stronger wintergreen flavor but zyn packs more of a punch.
Cons: more expensive than my previous cheap dip.
I also had a chance to try the outlaw dip since my original post. At first I was very excited and impressed. Dip looks as advertised - a long cut, moist dip. Reminds me a lot of Hawken, if anyone has had it. It’s moist and has sweetness to it. I liked it a lot initially but quickly lost my fondness of it and I haven’t finished the roll I got. I’m a wintergreen guy but got a couple of other flavors as well and I feel the same about all of them. I think it’s the sweetness. I could see this being a nice alternative for some who would dip on occasion. One final pro was I could swallow my spit no problem and it did make a decent spit for me.
Been dipping a long time.
Meateater had an interesting podcast about smokeless tobacco recently. One of the guests sells a tobacco free, nicotine dip alternative.
Has anyone tried this or something similar that you like?
Outlaw Dip
I bought a can of velo nicotine pouches but the pouches are tiny and I don’t accumulate much saliva where I don’t really get the feel like I’m dipping.

I think the one I used a few times was called Smokey Mountain. It would solve the problem you’re having with Velo. Has a dip texture (long cut, very long cut) and feel to it. I couldn't get past the taste. A little too overbearing with the mint and wintergreen. I’ve never seen any other flavors, haven’t really looked though.

Rogue is awesome. Velo sucks.

They sell some here in Oregon but I don't remember the name. My coworker dipped it and kept bugging me to try it. I didn't like it at all.
It didn't produce any juice. Would love to find an alternative, though. It's a habit I've never felt like I have the will power to break.
I started when I was 9(baseball) and really don't remember what it feels like to not have it as a habit.
Plus, it's 7 freaking dollars a can out here. When I started, it was something like 69 cents a can and stayed under a dollar a can for years.

Me too boss
I've given up most all of my bad habits as I aged but can't stop the dipping, that first one after a cup of coffee every morning is like crack.
I started at 13 or 14 thinking it was cool and have never stopped
If you find something that works let me know

Man, either keep dipping or quit. I tried some of that kinda stuff in college and it was worse than quitting IMO. There's no replacement for the real thing.

Dipped Copenhagen original off and on for 40 years. I've been dipping Bacc-off fine cut wintergreen and original for a few months. It's ok for me.

I wish you luck quitting, but nothing is as enjoyable as the real thing.
Been a Copenhagen user on and off for about 20 years. Have quit for up to 2 years before. Sometimes I’m a can per day. Sometimes a can will dry out before I finish it. I remember the first time I quit for 6 months or so and decided to take a dip. Thought it would make me sick like the first one when you are a kid. Nope. Was as delicious as it could be.

Dipped for probably 10 years. Quit 7 years ago. Cold turkey. I know if I buy a can I'll be back full time so I don't even think about it.
Posted on 11/3/21 at 10:37 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
Probably right but I didn’t know that there might be legit alternatives so figure I’ll at least try.
I ended up buying some of the outlaw, I’ll report back.

No nicotine. But Grinds coffee dip pouches helped me quit dipping Copenhagen Long Cut Straight.

Smokey Mountain pouches have been great for me. I buy them from Amazon in bulk quantities and save $$

Try 3ng Citrus ZYN. Coffee flavor is good too. No tobacco for me in over 2 years bc of this stuff
Posted on 11/4/21 at 8:37 am to bobdylan
Try ZYN or Rogue pouches I like those. But like others said these will only work if you’re trying to wane down and possibly quit. They give you the nicotine hit, but it’s not as satisfying as dipping.

Black Buffalo might be my favorite of the alternatives.
