okay, my technique is okay as i get enough in my nose and not so it makes my eyes water , but lately i have found that i am getting it dripping into my throat. could it be i am being to generous with my back of hand piles (piles of snuff no hemarroids)? cant pinch it goes right into my brain well feels like it. i am currently using gawith camphor and menthol, Gawith cherry and my favourite is poschl cola. CM is okay but bit punchy for me and use it in the morning. could it be i am using too much or is it the snuff itself, bo i need something a bit dustier? please help, i dont like mccrystals at all and since i live in Kendal I should support my local snuff producers thanks xxx
@Layxxmacbeth I find sniffing gently (off the back of my hand) so that the snuff stays at the front of the nose is important so that I don’t get that eye watering feeling. If I sniff too hard it makes my eyes water and I get a drip down the back of my throat. How big is your pinch? Sometimes I will do several small sniffs, to get the same amount as one large pinch. Have a look at the “technique” threads on here. They are full of helpful info :-bd
Try various brands and types and you will eventually find a clutch of brands that are good for you. Look on the sites and buy as wide a range as possible. Lots of these issues are just about finding the right type of snuff.
There is no way to stop snuff going down your throat other than blowing it all out before it has a chance to work its way down there. There is a constant stream of mucous going from your nose down your throat into your stomach its how your body keeps your nasal passages clean(and how it replenishes the protective layer of mucous protecting your stomach walls from getting eaten away by your gastric juices), by sending all the junk the mucous in your nose catches into your stomach to be dissolved by the hydrochloric acid found therein.
@n9inchnails Yum! lol The only way I’ve been able to get rid of the drip is to not snuff. I just snork the drip out of my throat and spit it out. I think it’s more rancid to swallow than dip juice.
Thanks everyone
Leave it up there for ten mins then blow your nose.to minimise it.i like a bit of drip sometimes it adds to the hit.have fun.
@layxxmacbeth Just try S.G. Banana , Then you won’t mind it .
Beware the banana! You know those foam banana sweets? Imagine someone had ground one of those up, and then added extra artificial banana scent. Scary.
It’s a very low order skill, so don’t worry about so-called techniques, just find a way you like to take the stuff and you will just perfect it, by micro-steps you probably won’t even notice.
Dragun drip is heavenly(hellish?)
Is it weird that I like the watery eye, head rush, nasal burn? I purposely sniff a little harder so I get that ‘wake me up’ feeling. I only clear my nose in the shower or if I am using heavy menthol that makes my nose run otherwise everything goes down my throat. Never really thought about the throat drip. It can be a bit bitter but it doesn’t bother me. Maybe it’s the masochist in me.
I’ve found it depends on the snuff. With the really fine powdery ones I don’t get that at all. I suspect it’s because with the fine snuff all the nicotine & stuff are drawn out of the snuff before it gets to that point.
Ive come to the realization that it happens too. Sometimes a lot, other times not so much. If I dont pay attention to what I am doing and hit a toast to hard with my deviated septum, back of the throat it goes, with more to follow. The worst is getting sloppey with moist snuffs and having that hit the throat, uck!!
I must be doing it wrong. I always get drainage in my throat. I just keep piling more snuff in. More snoots. I rarely blow my nose unless it is a menthol then I have to because it runs. Am I going to die?
Am I going to die?
Oh yes, but there again, so are we all 
It won’t have anything to do with the drip though.
I use my own technique which I call crocodile technique…I slightly press back of my tongue against the roof of my mouth during sniffing…and I sniff gently and slowly…It works greatly…

Some snuffs are just like that for me. Some are always dripping, others don’t. I’ve found that a lot of it depends on grind/manufacturer/moisture/etc. Gobs of it in my nose doesn’t help things either. The drip on some (to me) can be vile and acrid, while others are quite enjoyable. To each his own I guess.

Am I going to die? Yes you are. No one get out alive. As for technique after using snuff for a while you either get drip of you don’t it is like the weather ;changes without notice some time I get drip most of the time I don’t. Or I don’t notice
