I love these.
I use a big floppy teflon spatula to smash them. I spray the underside of it with vegetable oil (a spritzer or the aerosol stuff works great here) so it doesnt stick to the patty when smashing. I press down on the spatula with this meat pounder to get good leverage.
Crushed, as much as you reasonably can on a spoon over a candle, as a practical manner. Yes, a small bed of sand heated would be better. BUT, gentle heating over a candle, letting it cool a bit and repeating 2 - 3 times will drive off most/all volatiles. Cig lighter will work too, but the lighter will get really hot. Do not let the coke get too hot and burn.
Once dried out, crush to a superfine powder. https://www.amazon.com/d/Meat-Tenderizers/Norpro-GRIP-EZ-POUNDER-Stainless-steel/B00004UE7C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542435666&sr=8-3&keywords=mwell. eat+pounder works REALLY well. Do not want it to be dust (too easy to inhale in to lungs), but super fine (not confectioners/powder sugar).
To a limit, the higher the surface to mass ratio (finer the powder) the greater the effect from a given mass unit. i.e The smaller the lines you can do for the same effect. As long as it STAYS in your nasal cavity and has contact with your mucas membranes you will get the desired affect.

The best way, the way that I use ALL the time now is a meat mallet like this: https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-GRIP-EZ-POUNDER-Stainless-steel/dp/B00004UE7C/ref=sr_1_9?crid=WC1YJ47FTZPN&keywords=meat+mallet&qid=1550908967&s=home-garden&sprefix=meat+ma%2Cgarden%2C197&sr=1-9

it will give you some of the finest power you have seen, due to its inherent weight. A couples rounds with the mallet and it is as fine as cornstarch. Use a mirror, not a plate though. Most all plates are very uneven. (relatively speaking. Not hubble level tolerances, but go with something that does not have the surface variability of ceramic.
