i think this is the perfect key chain snuff vial for me… i think it holds around 2g but i’m just eyeballing here…

That’s a nifty little container. How much did it cost you?

I always wondered about pill-key chains, those that are specifically for nitro, but anyways, the right size with a rubber gasket in them…I think I was reluctant to obtain one because they are sometimes used to store other, less legal, substances

yep matsnuffs you are right those are for nitro pills with rubber gasket , no spill and airtight…cost me around 4$ (3.99 if i remember correctly) and yes i prefer to pinch most of my snuffs as well nowadays but like you said lofat better boh than nothing plus u can still pinch from the boh if you really HAVE to pinch…

That is classy. Almost reminds me of a brass shell casing…now that would be decent!

Looks nice. Just a word of warning with regard to some of the silver snuff boxes currently on offer: Check the dimentions carefully! I bougt a round silver hinged box without reading the specs properly and recieved something that was about three times the size of a shirt button. It is a beautiful box but unless you were using a small spoon and were happy for a box that held about 3 pinches it just couldn’t be used as a snuff. Luckily my wife likes it to keep pills in so no loss, just make sure you check the dimensions. Also bewate of any box with the hinges proud of the box; the snuff gets in and springs it no time. It then needs to be washed out to clear the hinge but only happens again after two or thre openings.

I have a similar one but it’s shorter and fatter. I also have a few large orange plastic ones that are actually match safes for camping and such. You can find them at wal-mart or any place that sells camping gear. These things are great if you’re into water sports. Especially if you like canoeing or rafting. You can literally go swimming with snuff in your pocket. Obviously I think everyone should have a Patrick Collins snuff box but even I won’t get in a canoe with a wood snuffbox.

he paid you to say that didn’t he??? I thought so.

if you have one of those and like to pinch, just pour some into the palm of your hand and pinch from there, thats what I do. I bought one of these from Wal-Mart, granted its made to used to hold oil used in LDS ceremonies or something, but it works better to hold snuff

Unless you’re a mormon. I don’t think they are allowed to snuff. I could be wrong.

i like that one from wal-mart, i’m gonna check it out next time i’m there…i like to have more than one snuff with me so it will come in handy …

I just picked up 2 at CVS. They carry 2 sizes. One like above, and one shorter but wider. I got 3.8g’s in the short fat one. Very nice.

brilliant idea…i love that long one in the top photo,i gotta hit my CVS and see if they got one with my name on it…

Anyone know a manufacturer or an online dealer for these?

In about a month!

They look excellent, I would definitely get one if you stock em

oh yeah i saw the short wide one but for some reason i liked this one better… i think the short one holds more than the one i got though…

3.8 grams in the short fat one

I picked up the narrower one today; very useful container, and fits on my keychain.

What is it anyway? Looks like something Adolph used to keep his cyanide in.

cyanide huh? not a bad idea i could use some at work… lol jk

They are for Nitro pills.Some info on Nitroglycerin

just a quick update on those things… so far i’m just loving it for me it is a perfect snuff vial. just one little problem i discovered in everyday use; as you can see from the picture the cap is empty on the inside so if you hold it upside down in your pocket the cap get full of snuff and then when you open it the snuff will end up on the ground… now after i done it 2-3 times i always remember to give it a tap or two before opening the container… ;)…

Fill the cap with epoxy and you won’t have that problem. Just make sure you let the epoxy cure a couple days so all the chemically smell gets aired out. A wooden dowel may work to fill in the cap as well.

Tapping sounds more convenient, though good call.

Ok you all inspired me to go to my drug store to see what they got. I picked up a aluminum pill container simular to those already shown. It looks like it would carry 4 grams. Here is a picture of it next to a Toque bullet for a size comparison.

I like the blue one! I always thought they would be good for snuff, but now I’m inspired to go pick one up myself.

oh yeah i like the blue one too… i guess one could fill up the cap if it’s too much of a inconvenience, to me tapping it before opening just adds to the ritual …

I carry pills in a smash-box so why not snuff in a pill container? I’ve got a P.C. two sided box I pinch out of, then I carry 5 alum. bullets in a altoids case. Upon reading this post I realize how lucky I was this year in not stepping into a deep hole while fly-fishing. When I pick up my Rx’s soon, I will look for a couple of the key-chain types. I’ve had a hellish summer with legal issues. I managed to pick up two disorderly conduct charges for defending myself, and yes I was hit first, it’s just I did the damage to the attacker’s, and raised hell with the cops. Because of this, my fiance’s ex has been stalking me, and calls the cops everytime he thinks I’m doing something I shouldn’t be. Just this week, the kid’s, 7 and 11 picked up on my snuff use, so I anticipate a visit by the police. I actually took my cigar box with many kinds of snuff’s, vials, bullets, etc… to the chief in this little town. He’s never heard of snuff, but I think I won’t get harassed too bad. With my alum. bullets, I always take 2-3 turns before sniffing. The real shell is a good idea. As soon as I get back to work I’ll try a .308cal shell and make a copper bullet that unscrews. I’m tool-maker guy’s so if you have any ideas for something I can machine, let me know. I’ve been watching autions for a bench lathe that has a worm gear for turning threads for a long time.

hey if you manage to make a real shell key chain i would be interested… …

look on ebay under “trench art”

I’d rather not look at an example. Even if it isn’t an original design overall, I would prefer it to be original to me. As soon as I get back into a shop I plan on making an Aluminum snuff box, and plan on making a bullet out of a bullet. My box won’t be too much different from a P.C. box, but made from steel, aluminum, or brass instead of wood. I could use a manual operated mill just as much as I could use a lathe. If I knew I could make money on it, I would buy a bench-top mill/lathe/drill-press combo. However, the fact that they would be made manually instead of cnc, they would cost more to make, however they would all be one of a kind. I would build basic jigs and fixtures, but all the finish work would be original and one of a kind. I’ve made “banks” for both of my fiance’s kids. I made them out of alum. diamond plate and tig welded it all together after machining everything. The ONLY way they can get the money out is if I cut it or drill a large hole. I’ll probably drill it as I can weld a large plug and repair it easily. I’ve got to take a couple shots with my .308 in the next week or two as I’ve had some match grade ammo custom made, then I’ll start drawing prints for future bullets.

I just came across an old flask of mine, the blessed holy water still in it from 08’. Hmm?

At walmart they also have a metal container for stick matches. They unscrew. They are in the camping dept. the zippo lighter company makes a container for carrying extra fuel. about nine bucks. it has rubber gaskets.
