This is going to be hard to explain and maybe weird ok when i take snuff it always always drips into my throat in mucas form and thus it ends up in my mouth as i dont want to swallow it i just spit out brown liquid lol is this normal is my tecnique still wrong ? any help and info is desp needed thanks everyone im wondering if its my tecnique ??? also last question is swallowing snuff dangerous ? will it do any harm ? ok this ended up me asking loads of questions lol thanks everyone
hehehe, no, that’s quite normal, especially if you’ve taken something potent like a Scotch or HDT. Sometimes referred to as “afterdrip.” If you find it unpleasant you can certainly spit it out, but unless you’ve taken a real snooter you shouldn’t have any bad reactions from gutting it. As with many things here, there is no set method or rules (just read all the threads about pinching vs. back-of-hand!); do whatever works for you. Happy snuffing!
PHEW thanks LOL i was worried i was doing something very wrong esp it ending up in my mouth all the time , im using toque spanish gem all day every day at the moment lol soooo thats cool i can carry on happy snuffing thanks again
It happens to me and unless I am snuffing every 5 minutes I never get enough in my gut to cause nausea.
Nachman ah thats good also its nice to see im not alone in this lol
My technique does not invole sniffing at all, and I’ve been doing this now for about a week, and so glad I got started it, and my technique doing this has improved, and I now no longer have the nasal issues I was having when I sniffed it in. I just open my tin/tub take a pinch with my left hand, bring it to my nose, and slightly slide down the forefinger so the snuff is on my thumb, and then I stick my thumb tip in my nose, and rub the snuff on the inside of my nose, and I can do the other side with the same hand, but I find it better to use my right hand for the right side. This is working great for me, I can do any grind, menthols, non menthols, it does not clog me up, it does not irritate my sinuses. I read that Roderick uses snuff like this, and I also saw a guy on a Poschl video doing this too. I was seriously thinking of quitting snuff, but didn’t want to, or just snuff and suffer, but since I have been doing it like this all the time, it’s been great, I keep a tissue or hanky handy to brush around my nose.
? il search for the video ??? but do you get a nic hit this way ??? sounds great
@tom I remember you were talking about how it was starting to really bother your sinuses. Have to keep this method in mind cause my sinuses do occasionally act up too. Sometimes I cannot even get anything up my left nostril. When you were having trouble was it both sides or just predominantly one? Vince
It would be both at times, and switch at times. The video was just a short video on the Poschl site, and showed a bunch of guys at a board meeting. I don’t think I ever got a “nic hit”, I snus all the time too. But something makes me keep wanting to do it.
ah yes found it , its a v quick bit were a guy puts his finger on this hand then to his nose ! found it on you tube its about how they make their products etc thanks buddy , il try it but i like my nic hit and cant see how you would get one this way ?
Well, the idea, from what I understand, is the nic absorption is through the inside of the nose skin, and not into the sinuses, so, to me, literally rubbing the snuff inside ones nose, would give the best apsorption, over sniffing it into the sinus passagways and throat.
yes true but do you not need mucus to help the nicotine enter the body i just think dry snuff cant be as effecteve as wet snuff in the nose sorry im just interested and learning lol
I try to blow it out if I feel the drip coming on, or even partially blow it back to the front. Sometimes I just gut it or spit it. Keeping it from going in too deeply initially, a la tom502’s method should help as well. I generally get the nic hit as long as I use enough.
@davec32, I find that when I’m in a reclining position, I always get a post nasal drip, no matter which snuff I use. When I’m sitting upright, like now while I’m typing, any “leakage” will be through my nose.
Same for me Pieter thats my experiences too!
I get clogged up sometimes, and I usually just gut it if it drips down. The other day though, I coughed and saw a cloud of snuff come out. Teach me to hit scotches and toasts too hard all day long.
“I coughed and saw a cloud of snuff come out” shikitohno. Now that is the way it’s done. We need to have a contest or something. Not that I condone this type of behavior but that would make a bad ass snuff film right there. (no pun intended)
