I just ordered one of these from snuffstore, and was wondering what experiences people have had with them. It was quite expensive (around $20), and I’m just curious if it is going to be worth the money. I have read that you twist it one way for a small pinch, and the other way for a larger pinch. That seems very cool and innovative. At any rate, I’m just curious as to what it’s going to be like when I get it…so if any of you have one, please fill me in. Thanks. ~Snuffy
Didn’t know it had that feature, hopefully you’ll keep us posted. I might be interested in something like that too.
Never had one that delivers a sufficient pinch in one hit, but the metal ones are pretty robust and look good. I think the posh is the one with a metal screw in the middle of the base, if thats the one Im thinking of make sure the screw rests in the hole when you fill as fine snuff particles get in that effect the thread and tightness when you re-assemble - just saves you having to sluice it out regularly. The several I’ve tried were best with drier snuff as any clumping tends to stop the delivery.
I have two and they are well made The down side is they are very heavy for there size so you will need a good strong belt to keep your pants up. I also agree with snuffster the dose is a little on the small size. I think they must be chrome plated brass they don’t attract a magnet.
SnuffyPM, lol! when I take my two bullets out with me I feel like the Lone Ranger!
Screw the snuff bullets! We need snuff guns!
I just purchased 2 pre-loaded snuff bullets. One from Dholakia and one from Toque. Both get clogged easy and I don’t get a hit worth a pinch. Can these plastic ones be drilled out also to make the shot bigger? Any suggestions guys?
You can pare the hole in the chamber down a bit with a craft knife or somesuch and make it deliver more, but at the end of the day this is the always the problem with bullets - small and inconsistent delivery. After trying most of the available types I’ve now come to the conclusion that they are a great idea that just doesn’t work very well. Mine are all long since dumped. To be honest BigBuyer my suggestion is one of the many cheap and excellent snuff boxes that the dealers are supplying these days.
I use bullets pretty much all of the time. I work in construction (concrete), so my hands are always dirty. Plus, I don’t really have the time to stop so I can pull out a tin and catch a quick pinch or two. The bullet is just so convenient. Plus, I have using it when I’m driving down to a science. =] ~Snuffy
Toque bullets will give a great hit with a little reaming and polishing and they don’t taste like plastic!! I’ve got a few I don’t need to twist anymore and give as big a hit as I can take. Once reamed out that much though, pocket carry gets a little messy!
I’m about on my third or fourth day ‘on the snuff’ (I’m using it instead of smoking and finding it really quite enjoyable) and have just purchased a posh bullet. I find it a lot less messy; probably down to my inexperience; because when I pinch it ends up all round my nose and down my clothes. It doesn’t deliver a big enough ‘pinch’, but I just keep twisting and snorting till I’ve had my fill. I’ll give mine a 7 out of 10. I’ve got another type in the post; an acrylic version that I think you have to turn upside down, so I’ll be to compare them when it arrives.
The first snuff delivery/transport method I purchased was a Posh. It worked great (although be careful with the fine snuffs as they fly too far up your nose if you sniff too aggressively from the Posh. Also, It didn’t handle moist Snuffs well at all, as others have suggested) until the screw was stripped. Part of me wishes that I had simply ordered the cheaper acrylic bullets instead, because the Posh’s screw is a fatal flaw, although I have no suggestions on how to improve it. I’m a political scientist, not an engineer!
