Ok question, what type of oil or lubricant should be used on the little rubber ring of a snuff bullet? I have an acrylic one from mr snuff and that ring is sticking bad… Ken

id say get another. im not sure any lubricant is a god idea when it comes to using snuff through it, but otherwise id use silicone, but in tiny amounts.

Well for now a minor bit of saliva has been my temporary solution between cleaning it. And I know it is a cheap acrylic bullet but the same ring would get used in a metal one so I can’t see throwing the baby out with the bath water as a practical solution. Yes this is my first bullet on a side note. So so far I was thinking the best options would be things that have food stuff or medicinal usage as opposed to machinery usage. So my short list so far was: Mineral Oil Olive Oil Canola Oil Ken

@devillock76 I’ve used vegetable oil with much success. Olive oil or corn oil. You just need the tiniest amount. Probably have to apply weekly.

I was thinking it would be a sparing amount. Like a quick swab with a q-tip should do, if even. Ken

@devillock76 yup that should do it. I just pull and clean the o-ring, clear the opening of any snuff, and oil both the opening and the ring along with the little turn cylinder.

Do not use vegetal oils, they will make the rubber brittle and go rancid. try medical grade Vaseline. care for rubber with talcum powder - no perfume. Patrick B. Ludwig

^ You can also use corn starch if you ain’t got talc

I had the same issue and used saliva as a quick fix too lol. I noticed after I started only filling it up half way it just stopped jamming and hasn’t stuck for over a week but that may have nothing to do with it.

Talc…? That seems counter intuitive…

KY Jelly

Hahahhaa

Perhaps counter-intuitive, @devilock76 my dear friend, non the less effective as any scuba-old timer or owner of an old rubberised air mattress will confirm. But what, please, is KY Jelly? The joke is entirely beyond me - unless of course, @basement_shaman is confusing the vas nefandum with an o-ring. In which case, I recommend applying the substances in question directly to the nose.

i suggested silicone since i think its good for rubber. id avoid food oils, but i think silicone is healthy enough.

@Ludwig_1954, I stand corrected, it certainly does work. I tried it on a whim figuring what him could it do. Sure enough problem solved. Oh and ky jelly is a water based lubricant marketed for, um, intimate times…
