Do you keep your empty cans? What for?

[6pieceperal]

I keep my empty cans to form a nice pyramid just because it looks cool. Some of my Camel tins i use to hold small nuts and bolts and tack nails.

[lxskllr]

I was saving all of mine, but I just got rid of a bunch. I figured it was stupid to keep a bunch of tins, and they were taking up too much space. I still have a ton though. For regular tins I'm saving 1 each, and any label variations for historic purposes, and I save all my Gotlandssnus tins because they're the best tins ever made.

My wife yells at me if I do not throw them away

[Snusify]

I have kept just about every can of my whole snusing career when I am ready I am going to make piece of free standing Art out of them and install it outside the EU government offices in Belgium.

I have always saved every one. However, about 2 years ago a metal detector manufacturer contacted me asking for a ton of empty tins. The only requirement was that they were all the same and the labels come off. I actually sold several 100 to him. He needed waterproof containers for the electronics in metal detectors. I would have given them to him but he insisted he pay. I think I got 20 cents each. I'm still saving them.

I am actually in the process of making a really cool security device with them. When its done I'll post a photo and explain. Thats assuming it works as designed. It will be great and I'm betting alot of the members will be making this. This is something that we all can use no matter who you are. I might be done next week.

Oh man I wish I knew that, I was saving them for a while buy then I stopped. I could have a closet full of cans by this point but now all I have is this one i'm about to finish

Also, everyone knows you are making them into fleshlights, not security systems.

I just keep an empty one by my computer and nightstand to fill up with used portions all the time. So I throw a good half away empty, the other half filled with used ones.

you throw away your used portions?? What about the poor worms?

I quit making blue worms some time back. I'm working on a blue chipmonk. One at a time I put all my used portions next to his hole. They are usually gone by the time I toss him another one. His hole is directly below the window next to my bed. I'm really not sure what hes doing with them. All I know is that he takes em. So I'm hopeing that this years babies will be blue. I've tossed him about 10 rolls worth of snus....portion by portion. All OR coffee or coffee/vanilla.



no......I really don't have a life.

[BrianC]

I keep one empty tin of each flavor i am currently using to put what snus i need when i am gone, the rest stays in the fridge. Pp, i completely forgot about the worms,if it hasnt already perhaps that thread needs a bump for the newer members!

I'm looking forward to seeing this because i've been thinking about what i can make with my old tins

[precious007]

I haven't yet found a purpose but I have roughly 350 snus and dip cans ;^)

[Snuts]

I have around 25 cans in exposition. All the different kinds of snus I've tasted so far.

But I keep all the other cans inside a drawer hoping that someday I'll have a bright idea.

I use one for water for my leopard gecko.

I offered a few to my friends. They are fine to put filters and rolling papers.

[6pieceperal]

yea for some reason i think i'll have a use for them. they are cool little containers. I'll probably just keep a few of each flavor for decoration in the basement. But then agian a giant wall of empty snus cans would be pretty cool...

[SnusoMatic]

i keep all of them except for the cardboard ones. it so happens that my main brand comes in cardboard so that keep my pile down. i don't know how many i have but they go back five years. i try and try to think of a use for them. so far about the only use i have came up with is keeping loose screws and change in them. i keep thinking one day i will invent something with them and become rich. my wife says it wont ever happen but i keep dreaming.
