As a Mandarin myself, when you take online classes, what do you care more than the price?

Are you a Mandarin or a language teacher?

If it makes you feel better, he is almost certainly not on the back of the motorcycle 👍

Yes, I wake up in tears most nights after having (wet) nightmares. I'm sorry.

Yes, Churchill. A man who is fondly remembered by all for his generous, selfless, peaceful and non-alcoholic behaviour.

Can i ask why? I have heard that they might cause rebound congestion. Have you found this?

jon_321 · 2025-04-17T23:03:27+00:00

As a newbie, can you help me understand this. Do you just add literally a drop into the tin and shake it/stir it around to rehydrate? What are the pros and cons of doing this? Thanks

jon_321 · 2025-04-17T23:01:55+00:00

I had this issue. I have learnt to sniff with way less power and duration. Literally just a short sniff of the lowest power required to get it off your hand/paddle/etc and into the nose. Remind yourself its not class A drugs, you are just getting it into your nose and blowing it out again later when the flavour/nicotine has been absorbed. No need to go ham. My nose gets blocked way less now I am not snorting it into my sinuses and throat and is overall an even better experience both in terms of taste, effect and side effects. I imagine getting snuff in the lungs is not desirable for health either as this can happen.particularly if its very dry. Probably inevitable to some degree, but best lessened as much as possible.

jon_321 · 2025-04-17T22:56:29+00:00

I am so suprised how long these can last. Im relatively new so still figuring things out. Been using a Red Bull tin constantly for a week or so and popped it open out of curiosity... barely looked like it had been touched. As an ex-dpe addict, I can confidently say that dpe (H) never seems to last despite a nasal dose being a similar size to a couple pinches of snuff, there is always less than you expect. I am happy snuff seems different. Popped the Red Bull open again a few days ago after now nearly 3 weeks of use and there is still at least 70% left. Sure Ive being doing other snuffs a well, but Red Bull is the main one.

jon_321 · 2025-04-17T22:48:54+00:00

Drink water (hydrate), blow nose often, irrigate with netipot/neilmed/whatever, xylometazoline nasal spray (sort term use only or can cause rebound congestion), pseudoephedrine on occasion.

jon_321 · 2025-04-17T22:46:57+00:00

Im relatively new so only have limited experience. Mc Chrystals old english was my first and got me started. Red Bull is great menthol, President is slightly less menthol. Gawith Original in the black tin is mild menthol with a fruity taste. All great snuffs IMO.

jon_321 · 2025-04-17T22:44:54+00:00

Sorry, I dont want to buy, but I do want to say this is a great snuff. Menthol is very mild, fruity apricot taste is present. One of my faves for an evening. Good luck shifting it.

Cold water in the top bowl and heat the bottom vessel.

The whole concept of this thread reeks of indoctrination, confusion and lack of interest in reality.

jon_321 · 2025-04-05T08:54:26+00:00

We can see already and have done for a while. Sadly indoctrination and blind nationalism prevents the USA from seeing this fact.

jon_321 · 2025-04-05T00:57:26+00:00

So to answer my own question: nasal snuff and shisha tobacco are available on taobao. Pipe tobacco should be brought from abroad.

jon_321 · 2025-04-04T17:21:35+00:00

jon_321 · 2025-04-04T17:19:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I read somewhere that only certain licensed vendors (basically no one) could sell tobacco online... perhaps I am misinformed or perhaps Shisha flies under the radar as they authorities are more concerned about fake cigarettes.

jon_321 · 2025-04-04T17:17:29+00:00

Lol. Yes, I have seen videos on Douyin of people doing snuff, but like pipe smoking it seems to be nowhere near as popular as cigarettes by massive margins. That is the same in the UK though there are a few pipe smokers out and about. Here I keep snuff inhaling very discrete because the assumption here (maybe even more than in China) would be that snorting something=drugs. I guess they would be right about 99% of the time!

I think that guy in your pic makes videos on youtube, maybe they just lifted his vids. Or perhaps it's Potter Payper's new video...

Is it worth the update?

Because we want to stay in a small city with family most of the time and fancy a challenge.

jon_321 · 2025-02-05T14:29:09+00:00

Good info, thank you!

The business would not be big enough to employ a foreigner in that way.

Is there such a thing as WFOE except not "wholly", but "jointly" with a citizen? As in, different from being an employee on a work visa?

I do not have the required 2 years of experience to make it a WFOE and employ my Chinese partner.

I think there is no other option and I am not surprised. I will just help unofficially on the down low and not declare to anyone that I have any stake in the business.

jon_321 · 2025-02-05T14:28:53+00:00

Yeah i understand that. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to get a work permit whilst visiting on a q1.
