I still am no good at pinching. The Toque and finer dry types don’t work very well for me off the back of the hand either. My solution for now is to use a snuff bullet. Maybe that will help you. I’m encountering some interesting problems taking in the thick Schmalzlers. For now I’m sort of using a modified back of the hand technique with those.
Wishmaster & Spyro Try liking you thumb and finger before a pinch, not to wet though just enough to put a bit more moisture in the snuff. Try snuffing from around 1 centimetre under you nose. Try inhaling 90% of breath then tuck your chin to your chest then snuff. You guys will pick it up soon enough 
Its a very simple thing to do but a very difficult thing to put into words. Personally, I think the drier your thumb and forefinger the easier it is to do as you get a clean release. I would take a pinch and drop it onto your hand to gauge exactly how much you are pinching and if that equates to the amount you want to use. Having worked that out, inhale half the amount up one nostril and the rest up the other with a short, sharp but gentle sniff. I actually make contact with my nose and my forefinger is slightly inside and in contact with the fromt of my nostril - its worked for the last 20 odd years for me, but finding your own technique is alsways the BEST technique. Good luck!!
Thanks for the tips. I have a hefty supply built up so there should be plenty of practice pinches to try. As a funny side note, one of my co-workers has been watching me snuff and didn’t believe I was getting anything out of it. He bet me that if I could drink one of his Rockstar energy drinks in under five minutes he would take a shot of snuff. I gave him a modest shot of Lowen-Prise and it was no contest. Never seen a guy’s eyes water so much before. Hehehe.
Wish I’d had some with me, or my WoS Menthol Plus. Maybe we should start a new thread, ‘What’s the strongest sinus - exploding menthol blend out there?’.
S.M. 500 should be the winner there.
I wouldn’t bother pinching anything that you can pour onto the back of the hand. And vise-verse. I wouldn’t bother with putting a pinch on the back of my hand. But the spoon, well the spoon I don’t really like. I’ll pinch from some spoons and scoop to the back of hand from the smaller bottle spoons. As for bullets I’m still waiting for someone to build a better bullet.
I’m still working at pinching and getting a bit better at it. However, I get impatient and love to gobble big doses of WoS Menthol Plus right from the can. Here’s me shoveling some in with my pocket knife blade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hQkipv71M4
I also pinch because it gives me control over the amount of snuff I’m taking and the way I release the snuff into my nose. Rarely get any snuff going down my throat when I pinch. Even when I take snuff from a tin or box with a dispensing hole, I shake the snuff on the back of my hand and then I pinch from there.
nice vid.
Thanks. I got bored and stayed up all night doing crazy amounts of snuff so I had nothing better to do than perfect my two scoop snoop method.
