What Are Snuff Bullets and Powder Dispensers?
Snuff bullets (also called sniffers, powder dispensers, or nasal dispensers) are portable devices designed to store and dispense powdered substances in controlled, measured doses. They've evolved from simple plastic tubes to sophisticated precision instruments.
The core principle remains the same: a chamber holds your powder, and a rotating mechanism dispenses exact amounts on demand — no mess, no waste, complete discretion.
Types of Snuff Bullets: A Complete Breakdown
1. Basic Plastic Snuff Bullet

How to Use a Snuff Bullet: Complete Instructions
Initial Setup
- Unscrew the top chamber from the main body by twisting counter-clockwise
- Inspect the silica pack (EVO models only) — ensure it's properly seated in the designated compartment
- Fill the main chamber with your powder to about 3/4 capacity (don't overfill)
- Screw the top back on firmly but don't over-tighten
Dispensing
- Hold the device upright with the dispensing end facing up
- Rotate the dispensing mechanism 360 degrees (1 turn) holding it from the arrow piece, always looking upwards
- Turn the device over so the dispensing end facing up again
- Place against your nostril and inhale steadily
- Repeat as needed — each turn loads one dose
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Clean the threads regularly: Prevents sticking and ensures smooth operation
- Replace silica packs every 2-3 days of different content: Maintains optimal moisture protection (EVO models)
- Store in a cool, dry place: Extends the life of both device and contents
Maintenance and Care Guide
Quick Maintenance (5 minutes)
- Wipe exterior with a dry cloth
- Check that all components twist smoothly
- Inspect seal for any powder buildup
Deep Cleaning
- Empty all powder from the device
- Disassemble all components completely
- Soak parts in isopropyl alcohol (90%+ recommended) for 10-15 minutes
- Use a small brush or cotton swab to clean threads and crevices
- Rinse with clean alcohol and let air dry completely
- Reassemble and refill
Silica Pack Replacement (EVO Models Only)
Every 2-3 days, replace the silica pack to maintain anti-humidity protection:
- Remove the old silica pack from its compartment
- Insert a fresh replacement pack (included with all EVO kits & bundles — 50 packs provided)
- Ensure it's seated properly before reassembling
Why this matters: The silica system is what keeps your powder perfectly dry and prevents clumping, even in humid environments. This is exclusive to EVO models.
Common Problems and Solutions
Problem: Inconsistent Doses
Cause: Worn dispensing mechanism or powder clumping due to moisture
Solution: Clean thoroughly and replace silica pack. If using a non-EVO model, this is a sign to upgrade to precision engineering.
Problem: Powder Leaking
Cause: Degraded seal or damaged O-ring or bad closure of the dispenser piece
Solution: Check seal for cracks. Basic models can't be repaired — time to upgrade. EVO models have replaceable O-rings and lid (contact us for parts).
Problem: Mechanism Sticking or Hard to Rotate
Cause: Powder buildup in threads or over-tightening
Solution: Deep clean all threads with alcohol. Don't over-tighten when reassembling.
Problem: Powder Getting Humid/Clumpy
Cause: No moisture protection system
Solution: This only happens with basic models. EVO's anti-humidity system completely prevents this issue.
💡 Upgrade Indicator: If you're experiencing any of these problems regularly, it's a sign your current device isn't meeting your needs. The EVO line eliminates all of these issues through superior engineering. Explore EVO products →
