Popper Burns

Recommended Posts

Does anyone else suffer from burning blisters around your nose after using poppers? I've found that in order to avoid them I have to hold the bottle away from my nose, which lessens the effect of the huff. I've tried using a tissue to cover the top of the bottle while I sniff, but that also seems to have a negative effect on their potency. Knowing that the blisters are going to make me look like Rudolph for several days doesn't seem to deter me from huffing away when I'm getting busy.

Do poppers affect any of you guys in this way? Any recommendations for alternate delivery methods of poppers? Any ideas on how to recover more quickly once I do have the blisters?

If you must sniff them straight from the bottle, try to put a small amount of Vaseline or other lube on the areas that will touch the bottle.

Pouring a small amount of poppers on a tissue or fabric is a good choice because their effect is enhanced that way.

Another way, although it might be a bit geeky, is to make a kind of thick straw out of paper which is about the diameter of the bottle spout. You can use this to sniff the poppers, but there's always a danger of snorting them (which is obviously bad). If you can pierce the straw sufficiently, it acts like a carburetor reducing suction on the poppers. You can make one of these by wrapping paper around a thick pen, taping it up, and piercing it with a BBQ skewer.

Personally I think the straw method is good for personal use, but the tissue method is better for use while fucking. Treatment for poppers burn is just keeping it moisturized with something like Sudocrem or Vaseline. There's little you can do about it.

Another good thing you can do is find an alternate container, preferably glass, and soak some cotton balls with the poppers, place the cotton in the other container. You get the same effect if not more because the vapors collect in the container each time you put the cap back on.

Done it years ago with a plastic one, it works well, but the plastic tends to deteriorate over time from the poppers.

When I'm at home and using them to watch porn and jerk off what I do is keep a tissue on my chest and every time I open the bottle I wipe the rim of if with the tissue. I find that the burn is from getting the liquid directly on your skin. I don't get a burn from the fumes.

Switching sides might also help, I'm right handed so I use my right nostril mostly. I even have a bump under my nostril from the poppers.

Over 20 years ago one of the first time I did poppers was in a NYC gay porn theater in the back by the stairs. It was dark and this guy gave me some poppers, he shook them up and used them. Then when he handed it to me I shook them, I didn't know the cap was off and they mostly went in the guys mouth and eyes. I got some on my mouth too. I started laughing, with nervous laughter. We both ran to the bathroom sink.

Another time in another NYC theater a British guy sat next to me, he told me they poppers were from England and they were strong. I took a strong hit and it hit me hard. I blacked out but didn't pass out, my vision just went black for a second and then I saw everything in neon for a minute. A few minutes later I was fine. But it was a bad trip.

I find the older they are and the more that has evaporated from the bottle the more it tends to burn. Usually when I am half done with a bottle I throw it out.

Same, this is when they start to burn me, when losing strength.

My spring hay fever is kicking in (yes there is pollen in the air here in March) and I've got to stay away from poppers for a while because my sinuses are already irritated at this time of year and poppers make them way worse. Ever since I started ARV's I find my spring allergies are worse and anti-histimines don't work as well, even though I am told that they shouldn't interact.

There is a good side to popper burns... for people who know what they are you can readily see which guys are big popper pigs.
