I spoke with the Snoot supplier and they are sending me a replacement one out, slightly larger.

Either OP or WEX didn't place too high a priority then. That link doesn't work either. However, THIS Phil ǁ Kershaw Soho Reflex: 4¼" Ross Xpres, 6½" Aldis, Super XX/ABC Pyro in 24 DDS, HP3/Meritol Metol in RFH, Johnson 'Scales' brand flash powder. Kodak Duo Six-20/Verichrome Pan. Other odd bits over the decades, simply to get the job done - not merely to polish and brag about cos I'm too mean to buy the polish!

An alternative would be to remove the snoot, use black paper as a cylinder between Esprit and (hand-held in place) snoot. By extending the body (NOT the small end) of the snoot in this manner, you should be able to see if my conjecture above is proven. Yes, the Bowens genuine snoot is silly money - it's a factor of low volume production - versus the one shown (generic Chinese - one size fits all but not very well??). But the Bowens does at least work as you hope. A snoot is nothing more than a frustum of a cone - the trick lies in balancing the length with the exit diameter. All the "maker's own" snoots on which I can find info have relatively larger exit holes than the one shown by OP. There might just be a sound reason behind this!
