Has anybody mixed e-liquid with nasal snuff? I mixed a few drops of 24mg juice with WE Garrett along with a little vegetable oil (to moisten it a bit to stop the throat hit) and it was pretty good. I used a mortar and pestle to really grind and mix. I didn’t notice a big nicotine hit, but I never do. But I did go longer between snuffs, so I believe the nicotine levels in my bloodstream stayed elevated longer than before. Does anyone see a reason to not do this? I know it could be overdone, but is it dangerous? Thanks, Xyoureyes
Wouldn’t it be simpler just to inject it?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude. But I can’t pretend I don’t find the idea really distasteful. It sounds like drinking mouth wash for the alcohol content to me. There are plenty of natural high nic snuffs and you can always take more than one pinch. But each to there own.
This just doesn’t seem like a good idea
Yeah, even if eliquids are being made by reputable companies now, this just seems wrong. And it could be easy to get nicotine poisoning this way.
I say go for it. What’s the worst that could happen?..

Exactly. That’s a very good question to contemplate. Mind you, I did sillier things than that, when I was a teenager.
Dangerous! I don’t know what chemicals are in e-liquid, do you? While I have no problem with inhaling the fumes from Vicks Vapo-Rub, I wouldn’t put it in my nose or on any other mucus membrane. There are express warnings against doing so.
Just vape it’s great! (depending on the juice etc and if the darn vape thing is working) and then snuff or snuff before or after or preferably both, that’s good too! forget all the other shit, sorry I meant things no I mean gunge because I did add some juice to some snuff and NO is the answer. Oily sticky crap. vaping and snuff is the new world order. You heard it here right now first although obviously there are a lot of folks that already know this, duuhhhhhh! The Abraxas and Scott snuffs I have found and still find are best with vaping because of their real flavour so come on you snuffers/vapers get with the program. Old (re-incarnate) meets new and strangely and most pleasantly, it’s very good indeed. Oh yeah, drink plenty of good ye olde ale like what I is doing like B-) Now I bet that sounds quite good. Well hell yeah!!! (where did I get this Americanish from?) it pretty much defintiely is but Abraxas and Scott, go buy em and a few nice tobacco ejuices also. Heavon on earth? Yes I’d say getting near as.

My goodness. There are expressed warnings about using all tobacco products. Does that stop you? @howdydave, Are you suggesting you know what chemicals are in your favorite Indian snuffs? Not even the US/UK snuffs provide a list of ingredients, never mind the ones from Eastern countries with far less regulation. C’mon. Let’s not be alarmists here. Yes, in at least as much as you know what ingredients are in your snuff (probably more!), I know what ingredients are in e-liquid. It’s Propylene Glycol ( or vegetable glycerin) + nicotine extract + flavorings/scents. Personally, I don’t think I’d bother to moisten my snuffs with e-liquid, but using PG (propylene glycol) is standard practice in the pipe tobacco world, at least for the larger manufacturers. Adding a bit of nicotine to that formula isn’t going to change the world. Many here have ground up pipe tobacco for use as snuff, and I don’t remember any of their spouses posting up about their untimely death. PG is great for hydrating tobacco, because even after it ‘dries out’, it is able to pull moisture from the environment, and re-hydrate itself when the humidity goes back up. I don’t see any harm in it, except for the potential risk of over-doing your nicotine dosing. So I say proceed carefully and report back your results.
I don’t think it’s a good idea, personally. But whatever floats your boat. 
@puffpuff - No I don’t know what ingredients are in my favorite 6 Photo snuffs… But they were designed for the EXPRESS PURPOSE of going into your nose – e-liquid was not. If you know what is in e-liquid and you know the effect that it will have when it comes into contact with mucus membrane, that’s an entirely different story.
Actually they were mostly created for the purpose of going in your mouth…just sayin’…
I don’t understand this…what are you putting juice into snuff? Or snuff into juice?
@puffpuff . The only snuff I have seen with a list of ingredients is an Indian snuff, namely Horse brand. Tobacco natural and artificial flavours, menthol, LLP. (As printed on the tin.) Now, your guess is as good as mine what “artificial flavours” are used but I doubt they’re any more harmful than the flavourings that are used in crisps, sweets, fizzy drinks, etc. And e-liquids. Also, has a date stamp, which is something of a novelty (also found on McChrystals). Just saying.
@howdydave I disagree. E-liquid is expressly designed to go in the nose, and the mouth and the lungs. Yes, it is typically vaporized first, but that hardly seems relevant to me, except perhaps in dosage. I never saw any warnings to the effect: “For puffing and inhaling, just don’t exhale out the nose, or something bad will happen.” When you exhale out your nose, your nose is clearly exposed to e-liquid. Certainly, when people inhale the stuff, they sometimes exhale out their nose. So I don’t expect anyone’s nose to shrivel up due to a low level exposure, as one might get through hydrating snuff with e-liquid. The ‘warnings’ regarding touching e-liquid are there to warn you that you that you don’t need to inhale the vapors to get nicotine exposure. It is absorbed transdermally, and even more quickly via mucous membranes. For me (and you!), I would say we have some experience in how nicotine is absorbed by the nasal mucosa. For a child, spilling a tincture of e-liquid on your arm could result in a significant nicotine overdose. In my opinion, it could be downright dangerous. Thus the warning – rightfully so. Pipe tobacco is likewise not designed with the express purpose of going into your nose, but many here do so without issue. (not me ) Many pipe tobaccos are basically tobacco with added Propylene Glycol to maintain moisture. Which is basically the combination the original poster is proposing. Cigarettes were designed for the EXPRESS PURPOSE of being burned and inhaled, but I don’t think that inherently makes them healthy or safe. So that particular contention means little to me. I have almost no interest in convincing anyone, either way, but I also don’t want to see progress slowed by fear mongering against new technology, simply because it’s new. The knee-jerk reaction of ‘Dangerous!’ seemed a little over the top to me, considering that all of the ingredients are in current use, and are already used in home-blend snuff making via pipe tobacco. I hope that my counter point to your post is taken with good intentions. I would hate to see progress in snuff making/blending/hydrating slow because of unwarranted fear-mongering simply because the particular source of the same ingredients is novel. @peppernut1 : I have no intention of disparaging Indian snuff. Dholakia Sparrow Cool is one of my all time favorites. The US is truthfully no better than India. There is absolutely no regulation here on products that were on the market before 2009. The UK is far better in that regard. Good on Horse brand for providing their ingredients. I wish everyone would. It would demonstrate that the industry has nothing to hide, and help everyone involved in snuff, makers and takers both.
Thanks everybody for the feedback. Good discussion by all. My E-Liquid is just nicotine and vegetable glycerin, and the amount I used just boosted the nicotine of the snuff about 25%. Like I said, I really couldn’t feel any effect but it did go longer between doses. Heck, even that effect could have been in my head. My e-cig is not very effective and I don’t enjoy it much. But it is an older model. I want to use up the e-juice so I might experiment a bit more, but don’t intend to make this a regular practice. When my next order gets here, hopefully tomorrow, I can put the Garretts away in a safe place for emergency backup and get back to business with the good stuff!!
I guess I’m just fundamentally conservative. Some inventions, like the wheel, the walking stick and pulverised tobacco work pretty well the way they are. I just don’t see much upside in the experiment. So, you can go a little bit longer between pinches? But what if you actually like taking pinches? It reminds me the story of the salesman trying to sell the Little Prince a pill that would mean that he didn’t have to drink water. When the Little Prince asked why he’d want to do that, the salesman told him, think of all the time you’d save. And the Little Prince said that if he had a bit of extra time, he’d use it to take a long, leisurely walk to a cool mountain stream so that he could drink from it. But we’ve all got a different way of looking at these things, so good luck with your experiments.
well I tried a few pinches worth of irish toast in my ego e cig mixed with tobacco e juice there was a slight burnt taste seemed to be more vape/smoke coming out … it will probably clog up egig after a bit … just a experiment after reading this thread

Yes tried that with Toque Quit once and got a great taste initially followed shortly by clogging and an extremely unpleasant stale taste. There is no need to mess about with good juice or snuff apart from a bit of blending snuff with snuff, juice with juice. As far as e-cig efffectiveness goes. I modified all my Kanger and cheap CE 5 tanks (I’ve got about 7 flavours on the go at any one time) to take 3mm wick with 3 turns of 0.2mm Kantal wire and they’re all pretty effective now for sure even on basic ego batteries. You just need to file out the coil heads to fit the 3mm wick snugly. To tight and the wicking gets choked and to loose an they will flood but it’s fairly straight forward and then change the coils regularly (easy to self make) to maintain good operation and taste. Last week in the pub I was vaping a new ejuice called Blended Tobacco from E-liquid Supreme and a couple of wemon I was with (yes me and only 4 wemon) asked to try it. It has a sort of cinamon or clove aspect to it and quite a throat hit although only 16mg strength. Anyhow a lot of coughing and spluttering ensued amongst the vapour cloud and these were smokers but my little eGo and CE5 with coil as described above was really pumping out the vapour. I think they were quite surprised by it. Me, pretty amused.
