Ok so ive got the angle down now

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.

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