ive got the pinches aimed in the right direction. do you have any tips on getting it just past the flap of skin on the outside of the nostril. i notice when i sniff very gently some of it get where i want it but a lot is left on my thumb. to hard and it goes up to high and it feels like its been a wasted pinch what are some of your tips to getting it there. right now im holding my fingers right up to the nostrils

I get forefinger and thumb tip right up into the nostril a bit, then a firm and quick “sniff”, adjusted through practice to the type of snuff. Ultra dry and ultra fine White Elephant for example has a different “sniff” then, say, moist and coarse Viking Dark or the like.

Like anything, there’s a learning curve to insufflating. I took many a throat hit when learning (heck, I still do every now and then if not paying attention).

Keep it up and you’ll get it.

mecompco is correct. Practice.

I usually sniff snuff off of a knife blade or key. This works well for me.
