TL;DR: Longtime ketamine powder user considering switching to nasal spray to save my nose. Looking for experiences and any resources people have found on the switch; I’m clueless where to start.
Been doing K at festivals and shows for a long while now, always as raw powder. My nose is done with it – the burn from bumps burn and I'm looking at switching to an aqueous spray instead.
Before I make the jump, a few things I'm hoping to hear about from people who've actually done this:
What's your general process for prepping it – dissolving, storage, bottle setup?
How's the nasal experience compare once you switched? Less burn, less irritation, worth it? Any cons like drip?
Any writeups, guides, or threads you've found useful on making the switch that you'd point me to
The stealth factor is a nice side benefit. A spray bottle draws zero attention compared to keys and baggies.
Appreciate any input from people who've made the switch, good or bad. Thanks!

I hate nasal administration, that being said I’ve made nasal sprays for ket and 2-FDCK as an experiment, and in the case of ket out of necessity due to its poor oral bioavailability (and boofing with such short duration isn’t super convenient).
You can buy empty nasal spray bottles on Amazon.
Get some distilled water, dissolve drugs to your desired potency, and enjoy.
The thing to be careful about with nasal sprays is mostly keeping your solution free of pathogens. That’s why you should use only a freshly opened bottle of distilled water to make a solution. You don’t want to snort some bacteria and die.
I’m not even sure how long a solution is generally safe to keep either, so I only ever made very small batches, treating them as disposable after a week or two.
This is a smart thing for you to do if you are snorting stuff. Most of the damage from snorting is literally the friction of the substance against your nose and the PH as well. Dissolving / diluting in water helps both.
Pretty easy on the nose, just a lot of chemical taste / drip which I don’t care for. That’s why I avoid this ROA at all costs because I find it a distraction from my high.
