Just wondering which bullet gives the best size and has best functionability/ I own a plastic one and get a decent amount and it makes snuffing very easy. Toque Snuffs ( Original, St. Clements and Grapefruit all fill well ) and they dont seem to clog the bullet. Wondering which you guys prefer if you use a bullet, for whatever reason. I notice Nic Rush has a nice looking bullet which either delivers a small or large dose based on how you turn the device. But its 20 bucks… just looking for some input.
I haven’t had much luck with bullets so I am using the cheap snuff spoon from SnuffStore. My fat fingers can’t seem to do a proper pinch.
Well I like pinching but it seems my pinches are only a lil smaller than what i get from my bullet which is a cheap plastic one but it delivers a decent amount, especially with med/fine snuffs. Moist snuffs are just not even worth trying to use in a bullet. It seems like when i pinch, I get a lil more but make a mess and sometimes sniff too hard and it goes just a tad too far up. My bullet allows me to get a nice and somewhat avg amount of snuff pleasantly in my nose without the bad drain i get sometimes. Plus i dont get brown powder on my shirt when at work.
I use a pen cap at home, and pinch in the car.
Ive had several from the posh to plastic jobs, I love the idea but they just don’t deliver enough for me. Just about ok with a fine dry snuff but with anyhting else its just too small a dose
Carol the pen cap idea is great. I think you posted it somewhere else on the forum and I started using it with finer ground snuffs and those like F&T that are harder to pinch from the tin. It works great and is always right there on the desk
I have plastic and I have the metal one from Nicotine Rush. All don’t give me the dose I want. Pinching is where it is at.
So, how much bigger of a dose would you like? Suggestions?
I use the Posh Bullet whilst out dog walking and its great for a short walk but for a day at work i would need a bandolier full of them.
I use a grassleaf bullet. Never had a problem with it.
A pinch size hit would be nice.
@nightcap: Is the Grassleaf Bullet the same as the POSH bullet?
i think its bigger.
I think the POSH is by far the best engineering. Elegantly simple. The metal bullets are way cool but the dose is too small for me personally. Of the acrylic bullets the biggest ‘shot’ is from the acrylic/plastic. These were re-engineered by us for the QSnuff line originally and are now used for all the Dholakia and Rockit flavors also. I rarely use bullets except in the wife’s car ( ;-/ ) but my brother swears by them and uses nothing else. He favors the straight acrylic one because of the compact size and reasonable dose. Dave
I have some metal ones and several from Toque. I think the ones from Toque give a pretty good size dose (for my tastes at least) and the metal ones seem to deliver just a tad more (almost too much). I tend to sniff right out of the bullet when using the Toque version and tap the snuff on the back of my hand when using the metal ones. I guess it is all just matter of what works for each person.
I would like a bullet that delivers a dose twice the size of a Dholakia bullet. Also, apart from the small pinch that you get, you often get nothing at all which I assume is through the snuff clumping together. I think they are probably only viable for a decent hit by using the fine dry snuffs.
I wonder if a bullet could be used with just dumping it upside down in the nose without sniffing it? I have a Zuka, I’ll try this when I get home. I am trying to figure out a way to use snuff without sniffing. The shove it up method is OK, but I think maybe an applicator of some type might be better. I wish I could get an automatic box.
tom502, you can try using a neti pot. By just tilting your head sideways, you should be able to get the snuff in your nose without sniffing.
a) put your dose in a straw. b) have your wife put the straw in your nostril and blow. c) ??? d) profit hmm. I bet I could rig this up, actually, to work with a homemade elastic-powered air-cannon. look for a thread about it, or else maybe an obituary.
@ zonesix: good grief! You mean you are infested with underpants gnomes as well? Annoying buggers, aren’t they?
