Heroin Density/weight of a powder has effects on nasal absorption?

Example: cocaine and heroin powder differ in density, that difference effects the pathway each drug takes when snorted. Heroin powder, usually a fine, light weight powder as compared to cocaine, moves through the nasal passageways differently than cocaine. Heroin (IMO/E) when snorted, is more likely to go to the throat, the lungs, out the other nostril, and when one exhales after snorting it, its not unusual for one to exhale a cloud of heroin powder.
Cocaine on the other hand is "heavier", when snorted it tends to not travel far into the nasal passageways, and usually goes directly to the throat only when sniffed forcefully. IME I've never seen anyone exhale a cloud of cocaine after snorting, I presume that's b/c the "heavier" cocaine particles stick to nasal membranes closer to the nostril than heroin particles do. Also the heavier cocaine powder is more likely to "fall" onto the membranes quicker when snorted as opposed to the "lighter" heroin powder which will be carried farther by the snorted air.

SO, WHY BRING THIS UP?
In my search to most efficiently snort heroin and other powders, I've found that mixing a little cocaine with the desired amount of heroin and then snorting the combo results in less drip, less heroin going into the lungs and throat, and maximizes the high from the dose taken.

THE HARM REDUCTION:
Heroin addicts will use heroin plain and simple, but snorting heroin is far "safer" if such a word can even be used, than is IV'ing heroin. So, by finding ways to increase the efficiency of snorting heroin, it will provide people with less reason to begin IV'ing.
I realize cocaine isn't the best powder to mix with heroin, I simply used it as an example since most are familiar with its physical properties. Does anyone know of an inert or safer powder to mix with heroin so as to make it heavier and more likely to contact nasal membranes?????

All tips, advise and comments are welcomed
 
DMAA is dirt cheap and has the same density feel to it as coke does, that heavy, damp, sticks to credit cards/ licenses etc. feeling.
But it burns to snort. But only for 45sec- 1min.
I snort .5g DMAA a day on average just because i need that *something* to do now that im clean from opiates and benzos from 6-7 years.
This stuff is legal and the most water soluble substance i have ever come across, perfect for snorting IMO minus the burn. But you can learn to like the burn (im sure some of you can relate to liking the burn of a certain drug).
 
it definitely does have an effect on absorption, as well as speed on onset and duration of action, from my experiences at least. my DOC is oxycodone intranasally, theres many different sizes (physical) of oxycodone IR and i noticed that the ones that are medium in size work the best, the ones that are really small (qualitest) or really big (sun pharma, almost the size of percs for oxy ir!!!) dont work as well as the medium sized ones (malinkrodt, actavis, others...)
