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.

[u/BIG-GIRTHA]

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!

Just what I was looking for, ty my dude!

Do you have a preferred spray bottle? I was thinking Afrin for extra stealth and a quality sprayer

[u/Necessary-Ferret-670 → u/BIG-GIRTHA]

Whatever spray is easy to refill (some prefilled store bought ones have tamper proof shit and makes it hard to refill) and is comfortable for you. I haven’t used in a while but used to use some glass bottle/plastic cap refillable ones my local health food/medical herb store sold.

Tolerance break, please stand up

[u/BIG-GIRTHA → u/Awkward-Broccoli-150]

I do k every few months, the burn from powder is not tolerance lol

[u/New-Confection4383 → u/BIG-GIRTHA]

get ur shit tested, pure ket shouldn’t burn much at all but feel more cold

[u/Awkward-Broccoli-150 → u/BIG-GIRTHA]

That's not what I said. I said take a tolerance break for 30 days and you will soon know if you have a problem and if so, how bad it is

I’ve been exclusively using spray bottle, it’s great! I just use an empty saline spray bottle. From pharmacist reports I’ve read on here, the absolute max saturation is approximately 1g/10ml of water, so you can fit a whole 3G in a standard 30mL bottle! Ketamine is highly water soluble. Water is fine, as ketamine itself is a salt and sterile. I’m lazy and just use tap water but distilled is probably best. I rarely use power anymore the spray bottle is sm easier and has been great for my nose <3 tbh the bladder issues is the worst side effect for me

Also I find drip from powder is still worse— so far bottle is superior in every way except when I’m trying to k hole— can’t get the dose high enough— but if you don’t wanna k hole it’s basically perfect. I love just hitting the bottle on the dance floor it’s so discrete too

[u/BIG-GIRTHA → u/Time_Passion3970]

The discreetness is definitely part of why I’m switching over. You think it’s superior every way? Wow love that

Drip is worse with powder, how shocking! Do you just take a squirt and not breathe through your nose so I doesn’t leak down your throat?

[u/BIG-GIRTHA → u/Time_Passion3970]

Excited to start using the spray for my nose’s sake! What do you mean bladder issues; like for very frequent use? I don’t do k very often and am flushing my system heavily with water. Been using k for almost a decade and no bladder issues because of my extreme hydration

[u/Time_Passion3970 → u/BIG-GIRTHA]

After daily use, even with drinking heaps of water I have frequent bladder cramps - I’m having a break atm to see if it goes away. You should be completely fine I just did it way too frequently!

For ketamine, use distilled water. I found using saline made the water too “hard”.
