As I have found a lot of non-snuff related items that make decent (or even great) tap-boxes, I want to see what you have re-purposed to use as tap-boxes for pocket-carry. I have already posted pictures of my 1oz flasks that I bought at walmart for $4, and we have seen the pill fobs, but I know there has to be more out there. So if you don’t mind, post some pics and a description of the item (and preferably location and price).

it was a candybox but now it swrves me as a tiny snuffbox. it hols approx. 1,5g dry snuff and 3g paraffin based snuff. it is not completely airtight but no leakage at all. inside 6 photo special now.

Good stuff! Looks like a Listerine Breath-Strips box. That’s pretty much a perfect example of what I want to see here.

exactly it is.

What about empty Tic Tac boxes? I’ve never used them for snuff, but they look like they would do the trick.

@Matou I have an empty tic tac box that I thought about using, but the chute thingie that inserts into the box is tapered, so instead of the chute sitting flush with the sides of the box, it results in a big space on two sides of the box and the chute. I would venture to guess that alot of snuff will get stuck in the crevasses, but its a nice box! I like the breath strip box idea too. I have a gum container that might make a great makeshift box…hmmm. I’ll have to examine it more.

I had several small mint boxes that worked well . Small perfume bottles work well if they been empty for a decade or so. In the beginning this is what I used.Then I decided this was going to be a life long hobby so I got some proper snuff boxes at great expense, When the snuffhouse.org box was created with some of my input; I been using those for daily travel and my fancys for dress occasions. Any box that won’t make a mess will work as a snuff box in the front Ice breakers center ice,left- elclipse mints tin with added tape over hinge,right- Blistex slide tin for pinching and in the rear an old perfume glass bottle

I have a couple Snuffhouse.org snuffboxes, along with a couple Mr. Snuff boxes, and use them frequently. I’m just always on the lookout for something else.

@Matou I did that once, but the box broke in my pocket and made a big mess.

Picked these up from the ice cream man, when my boys were grabbing some snacks. Noticed a box of them on the shelf, of course the first thought was… I quickly examined the cap and bought two for 2.50$ . The candy went in the trash “not the best tastin’ candy”. Fits in the pocket like a lighter, holds 7-10g? Taps easy. If you’re talented, you can use the cap to flick it up your nostril aka “snuff pocket”. I pour boxcars with these when on the go.

Has anybody tried pocket ashtrays? I never had such a thing but if it is supposed to contain ashes and reside in ones pocket, I reckon they should close very tight. I’ll probably get some and try it out. Probably wouldn’t be a tap box then, of course.

@TobaccyLassy : Hmmm, what a pity, I thought they’d be well suited. But as in @TomStrasbourg 's comment, I guess they’d break too soon anyway, because the plastic is too hard. @otherwheres : it depends on the type. I once had a pocket ashtray that closed very well (it was a cylinder, about the size of a lighter). But the ones with hinged lids are leaky I think.

Don’t think they’d work great for snuff. They’re not as air tight as you would hope. They keep ash out of your pockets mostily but that doesn’t mean air isn’t getting in. The hinges are also all wrong for a snuffbox

This one is awesome. I took two 16oz h2o bottles, razored the bottle off flush below hard ring under threads, sanded and super glued, also glued one cap. I can make multiples and fill my pockets comfortably. Also air tight, no snafu leakage yay =))

Those little pop cans are the cutest things! I love the bottle cap one too. Great idea!

Perfect for some Toque Coke?? B-)

And another one. from juice bottles. holds 15g+ air tight.

Curious what a wide mouth bottle would give me. .

Curious what a wide mouth bottle would give me. .

I was also thinking of using a relatively flat piece of plastic for the base, to make a slimmer version. Now to find the right bottle. A wide mouth bottle and comparable plastic, or that perfect bottle that’s probably floating it’s way over the Pacific, as I’m typing…Brilliant! @apkonkanal. In a week I may be posting a mayonnaise lid, slim version. Brilliant! Back to the lab I go :-B What a fun way to reuse, and the leftovers still get recycled.

Forgive me for being lame-brained, but it took me a few minutes to figure out how you made those…you glue the hard rings together, yes? I was like “how does he get the screw tops on top and bottom?” LOL.

This is a set of 2 "pocket pill caddy"s I picked up at the drug store for .99 cents, and of course the carmex lip balm container. The pill caddy is awesome. Air tight and easy to open. The carmex container is ok but kinda hard to pinch out of.

@like_a_ninja I have those same pill caddies. I got 10 of them on Ebay. They work great.

I can’t seem to

Oops… I can’t seem to get that waxy residue smell outta those dam Carmex… Blistex…Chapstick … Containers… Even after running thru dishwasher… I tried alcohol …

I had some old 35mm film cannisters kicking around. Work good and seem to be pretty airtight.

Boiling water seemed to get the waxy out. Tried everything else beforehand as well

what about contact lenses case) they are airtight but are they safe?(there must be some kind of silver used for antiseptic)

@noworry check this idea out: set a wide mouth bottle top on a piece of paper, pour a layer of epoxy resin, let the resin cure, tear the paper off, sand it flat.

This thread sent me on a mission. I was looking at everything that sealed like wonder if I could use this. I was at my local Wal-Mart buying some deodorant. Jack pot, I found the travel containers. They were in those bins along with the tiny soaps and shampoos. They are little travel jars with screw top lids. I tested with water. None leaked so I score this a win. Each Jar holds 10g perfectly, .99 cents for 4 jars. Win again

Snuff bottles can be found cheap on E-Bay. Why not add some authenticity to your snuffing experience.

@juxtaposer Sure snuff bottles are cheap and authentic, but where’s the fun in that? While I have plenty of snuff containers that were built and intended solely for that purpose, I also have a survivalist/McGyver impulse that often needs to be fed.

“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their gray visions they obtain glimpses of eternity, and thrill, in waking, to find that they have been upon the verge of the great secret. In snatches, they learn something of the wisdom which is of good, and more of the mere knowledge which is of evil.” ― Edgar Allan Poe

The survivalist has a beer bottle full of ground up cigarette butts. His dreams are nightmares that merge in and out of his day and are not unlike the eternity of hell. I do get your point. I suppose I should add that those tiny liquor bottles work well for tapping out snuffs.

Hmmm … at this stage in my snuff development, I’m not sure I wouldn’t prefer them full of single malt instead to be honest :-S

Sir, you are a genius. I made one of these tonight, quick and easy with epoxy. Perfect. Nothing less. I will say no more.

The thing about plastics is that they do let valuable gases through them as well as emitting estrogens which can mess with your hormones.

I am currently using an empty Stacker 2 Yellow Hornets bottle that I cleaned out with soap and hot water. It is air tight and I labeled it with one of the blank mailing address labels on which I wrote the type of snuff. Plastic emitting estrogens? What’s that about?

Check grade of plastics before use. And yes they have there risks. I sometimes use H2O bottle lids & epoxy, for temporary storage on the go, toss em after a few uses. Remember, your juice and water were in there. And the epoxy of course has its warnings. Aluminium oxide in cans can’t be healthy either. Know what you’re using, and its potential risks. At home its all in glass.

After eyeing the flasks available from Mister Snuff and Toque, I did a quick search for 1 oz flasks on eBay - better to leave the word “snuff” out when you search, they were designed for (very light) drinkers. There’s a seller from Israel that has a nice range, at least three or four different models. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MINI-FLASK-ROUND-STAINLESS-STEEL-KEYCHAIN-WHISKEY-LIQUOR-ALCOHOL-FLASK-1-OZ-/170696415917?pt=Bar\\_Tools\\_Accessories&hash=item27be4c9aad

certain pocket clip equipped pens can work, and be useful (and very discreet). i had one that had a great seal round the lid. took out the actual pen part, leaving me with just the casing and lid, created a sort of seal on the inside of the lid by partially filling with a plasti-dip type substance that the edge of the hole (where the pen nib had been) pressed into, and hey presto. useful for those of you not allowed to snuff at work etc (also those of you who arent often asked for a pen haha). i believe boredom played a part in my inspiration for this…

Thanks a million, that’s what I’ve been looking for. going there to order some !!

Since there isn’t much of a discount on shipping for ordering several, I just ordered one to see how it goes. The seller has three different one oz flasks, I got the round one. I suspect that the Toque flasks are a very similar product, just marked with the Toque logo, although they may have chosen the round, pocket-watch style to avoid snuff getting caught in corners. Still, I don’t think that should be too much of a problem. I’ve also put in an order for one of the Toque flasks. I’m really coming around to the idea of flasks, I think I prefer it to pinching from a box. I haven’t quite learned how to avoid making a mess and splashing snuff around when I do that yet, flasks seem to be easier.

1oz glass vanilla extract bottles. sloped sides and heavy glass.

I found an old small play-doh container, washed it out, and it works perfectly.And yes I’d say its airtight.

I use empty makeup jars and food color bottles … or anbersol bottles. All work great.

I have moved on from the empty Stacker 2 bottles to 2 dram glass vials I ordered on Amazon.com (12 for around $5 or $6 shipped), and yes dram not gram, apparently it’s an old measurement used to measure sips of whiskey, or so I’ve read. They work great and you can stick a small label that can be found at any office supply store on them to write what type of snuff is in them. You can find various sizes larger or smaller than 2 dram as well.

This is what they look like, very similar to the food coloring bottles mentioned and pictured by @dvsfaust I tried to upload the pic in the previous comment but around 15 minutes went by and it never uploaded.

I use the 1/2 dram vials as above ^ you can stick 10 of them about your pockets and not even notice. I buy them by the dozen from Amazon for about $5 shipped.

I made this snuff box from German ebonite, it has a rubber gasket and can fit about 15g +/-.

Heartwood snuffboxes also make great tap boxes. All you need to do is slide it open a crack, hold the slot vertically and tap your snuff out! This is how I dispense snuff onto my thumbnail.

@Ryan that looks very professional. Great job!

I can’t say I really recycled, you should have seen the ebonite ribbons piled behind my lathe

@Ryan that looks very professional. Great job!

Thanks!

@like_a_ninja thanks for the idea! just got 2 of each color at wally world. clear, blue, green, yellow and red. five bucks for 10 containers. wide enough to pinch out of, small enough to fit in your pocket, air tight, and durable. I just had to thank you.

25¢ prize vending machine plastic tubs -used to be my avatar

I used to work in a porn shop and people regularly buy boner pills and take em on the spot asking me to throw away the packing a few came in small vials and others like those clamshell pill cases I seen pics of I had a collection I wish I still had for this purpose behind the counter

Ponds night crème (wife’s :)) work excellent-- like a little tub-- air tight and perfect to pinch from

Remembering this thread I have been on the lookout and today I just scored an 8-pack of what may just be both convenient and inexpensive solutions to the dilemma of wanting to bring a few flavors along. Just today I was at the grocery store and found these in the sauce isle. They seem to be about the right size for a days worth and have a nice sized hole. The 8 ran me about ¥105 which works out to be just about 1 US.

The stainless reel mini flasks are on the uk ebay as well… Bargain at just 99p http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Stainless-Steel-Alcohol-Flask-Liquor-Bottle-1oz-N-/270793071622

I would like to second the endorsement for these awesome little plastic travel jars. I grabbed some ( &0.97 for 2 ) and love them. Not only do they hold a good bit of loose snuff, but they also are PERFECTLY sized to hold a McChrystal’s 3.5g tin , and being transparent you can read the tin lid through the plastic lid.

Why not just order a couple bernard tap boxes, empty the contents and use those. Only like five bucks each and you get snuff with it.

What outlaw menstioned is exactly how I do it. Actually, not only wwith tap boxes, but tins too. Some toque tins and you are ready to go. If the screw is screwed, nothing helps better than ordering a couple of more with snuff already inside
