It's been a while since I've come back to this site, but I'm looking for a lively discussion on the best way to snort things.

Now. I've been studying pictures of the inside of the nose

and i see that there are like three different airways in there, one of which I can, and I imagine all of you could, see in the mirror.
I aimed for that one and it went straight back and down the hatch so probably not the best point to aim for.

So now I want to get some educated people's opinions on the matter. What can you do (or not do) to make the fullest use of your nose. Should you put the tube all the way up your nose or just halfway? Three quarters? Less than an inch? Who Knows?
That's why we're here.

Also I've noticed that the bulbous part of your nose is useless. It just builds shit up so any drug in there is wasted.

I think at least half and inch, 5/8ths or even 3/4's is optimal.

The tube should be not be too thin like a straw, and not made out of paper (heaven forbid a dollar bill). I think the tube should be 4-5mm in diameter, with a length of ~4 inches. A bic pen is nearly perfect. Clean it regularly. The snort itself should be quite forceful, but not excessively so. If the substance shortly starts dripping down you throat, you aren't doing it write.
 
I'd say as far up as you can comfortably reach the straw, and inhale just strong enough to get it to stick in your nose, but not go down your throat. As long as it gets up into the mucous membranes

I agree that the cheap Bic pens that you can take apart so they're just an open ended cylinder are great.
 
I concur. I usually use a pen cylinder, perfect device.
And that's kinda what I figured. You want to coat as much of the inside of your nose as possible, but not your throat, 'cause then it's off the the liver for that bit.

So it's probably a better idea to use both nostrils? I've been railing ambien and I just use one nostril at a time, but there's always a little bit that gets in the very back of my throat. Then it's like I'm drinking drug-flavored snot.
Nasty.
 
Yeah, use of both nostrils is better. It lets the other one get unclogged some while the other does the work. I also reccomend a small bottle of saline spray to flush your nose out each time you do a line, one you're satisfied that as much as possible has absorbed.

This really helps me a lot as far as my nose getting clogged at a slower rate, and especially with harder drugs on the nasal cavities, on how much my nose is fucked the next day.
Leave irritants rubbing against your nasal mucous membranes the minimum amount of time. Swelling because of inflammation can also cause clogging, among other things.
 
Oh I use both nostrils, but usually one first, then the other later that day. I'm thinking it's probably better to just split each line in half and use both.
But I think I should probably invest in some saline. My nose seems to be quite fucked 24/7 and there's a lot of pressure that doesn't seem to go away, unless I'm blowing out both nostrils as hard as I can. But then the pressure's back as soon as I run out of air.
 
It may sound gross, but if you can put your tongue into your nasal cavity then it is easy to maximize the drugs surface area.. and you don't even necessarily have to snort anything to get it up there in the first place.
I wonder if it is less harmful than snorting? Certainly no burn.
 
Wait what? I would try to figure it out but my tongue isn't long enough.
But I don't get it. Explain.

Also, another question; I usually keep said drugs in me nose until the drip goes down the back, that way I'm sure all of the drug stays in my system.
But is there a reason? or does the drug fully absorb in the nasal cavity, meaning I should just blow it out in the end?

I've just realized that I could totally reach my nose with my tongue if I didn't have all these DAMN TEETH IN THE WAY!
 
The best way I could explain it would be to follow the roof of your mouth from front to back with your tongue.
After you pass the uvula the tongue should press the soft palate down and be in the nasal cavity.
 
damn man you'd have to have a helluv long tongue to reach back there. I don't see how it's possible. I'm sitting here tryin to swallow my tongue now. Thanks a lot.
 
Man i can get my tongue back there and have been able to since i was a little kid. I can always lick and tell if my nose is in good order (wet not dry, soft not hard, smooth no sores). This is a great way to clean out the area as well as licking part of the god awful substance in your nose just for the hell of it or to make sure its there. It is very entertaining thing to do like twiddling your thumbs that no one else can see. Glad to see that there is someone else that can do that. I am the talented Mr. Ripley! HAH!

I wanna expand on this and get feedback. I don't know if y'all are aware that asthmatics inhale powder all the time, through devices like the one in this video. If your powder of choice is well-dessicated, finely-ground and packed into appropriate caps, you'd

  • Avoid any nasal irritation and tissue degradation.
  • Achieve optimal pulmonary absorption
  • Be able to insufflate your POC at work, in traffic, at St. Peter's Basilica, etc.
 
woah
interesting indeed.
so this works with any powder? how, it's going into your lungs i take it?
i do kinduv enjoy putting things in my nose
but it is hell on my throat

what can I do differently? because when i snort the powder it goes straight back and hits me in the throat. how can i get it to stick?
 
Okay i think i figured it out. Putting the pen up there doesn't help. Instead put the tube at the base of your nose so its barely inside. The powder goes up and sticks on the lower membranes easily. I took a relatively long line and it went up but didn't hit my throat. 1st success.

My question now is should i make piles instead of lines? like a little bit here and a little here, that way it's not a steady stream of powder on a path to your throat.
Because I'm pretty damn sure that a little puff will stick, do the next puff in the other nostril, back and forth til all drug has been sniffed.
Then that small amount has a chance to be enveloped in nose-juice before the next amount enters.

Idk it just seems when i snort a line it goes in my throat no matter what.
I guess I like big lines.

hey guys. do you suggest blowing your nose after doing drugs or taking the drip. My main concern is that if all drug can't be absorbed in the nose I have to send it to the liver to (hopefully) salvage a few lost molecules.

An inhaled bronchodilator has to go straight into your bronchi and bronchioles; if it hangs around the larynx or trachea it wouldn't be called a bronchodilator.

I don't know if this particular device would be effective with something like coke: the holes in the cap are pretty small and if the powder clumps it'll clog. Anything dry that can be ground into a very fine powder should be fine, though. And there are other devices.

I can't watch that video and not laugh now; she keeps huffing and huffing that thing like a baser sucking the copper off a Chore.
