I found this exhaustive list of all the ingredients in the swedish match snus here https://www.swedishmatch.com/Our-business/Snus-and-moist-snuff/Ingredients-in-snus/

If only they listed the flavours we would be set! I couldn't find a similar list for GNtobacco unfortunately

For example this is General extra stark Loose:

Strme, Welcome to the forum. Fell free to introduce yourself in the Introduce Yourself forum. You may also wish to click on the Wiki link (in the menu bar), and go to the section on smokeless.

This is nice but for how much tobacco flour?
The list is what is added to tobacco flour and amounts are in mg per 1 gram. So for example for the General extra stark loose mentioned in this threads first message:
Additives: 540mg + 44mg + 31mg + 29mg + 23mg + 1,4mg = 668,4‬ mg
Tobacco: 1000mg - 668,4mg = 331,6mg
Leave the milli prefix off and you have a recipe for nice 1kg batch :)

You sure? It's seems like a lot of water for 331.6 mg of tobacco. Oh, maybe its because they add some water after a first cook.

Something like 330 mg of water, the salt and 330 mg of tobacco, first cook. Add the rest of the water with (110mg) with the carbonate. So 1:1 for water and tobacco, cook, rest of water and carbonate, finish cook, add the rest of the addittive. That make sens

And yeah...Im dumb...seems like I cant read haha

Forget my last message. I get it.

Do you think the amount of water add to the mixt is all at the beginning, when you do the first cook with the salt or they keep a little bit of water to dilitute the sodium carbonate?

One interesting thing what I haven't noticed before, is that you can find full list of flavours etc. chemicals Swedish Match uses in their products from the same page "Snus composite list" tab. Of course it's not told for what brands each one of those flavors are used but still pretty interesting.

Do you think the amount of water add to the mixt is all at the beginning, when you do the first cook with the salt or they keep a little bit of water to dilitute the sodium carbonate?
I guess they are final amounts because in another page they say moisture content for the same product is 58%. 540mg/g is pretty close to 58%. Click "Egenskaper" here and you can see pH, moisture content ("Fukthalt"), nicotine content etc.: https://www.swedishmatch.se/kop-snus/general/general-lossnus-extra-strong/

So, you take your tobacco, mix alle the water and the salt. Cook it only one time. Stir carbonate, Pg and VG(or just glycerin) and the flavor in a bowl, add this to the tobacco and thats it. Just one cook and not an other cook after you add the carbonate.
