I have a neti pot, and I use it when I'm really bothered by allergies. I don't do the snort and spit thing. I tilt my head so that it really does flow in one nostril, and out the other. When I'm really stuffed up, I just put the warm salt water into an old contact lense fluid container, and use a little pressure to "push" the fluid through. I've heard of people using it everyday for upkeep, but I haven't been that religious about it.
