The Five Strengths

Each tier suits a different experience level. Start low and work up — you can always go stronger, but you can't undo a pouch that's too intense.

Starter
3–4 mg
First time with nicotine. Light, gentle buzz — good for testing the format without the intensity.
Newcomers
Try: ZYN Mini
Regular
6–8 mg
Ex-light smokers or social smokers. Satisfying without being overwhelming — the sweet spot for most people.
Most Popular
Try: VELO · KLINT
Strong
10–14 mg
Smokers doing 10–15 cigs/day or pouch users ready to step up. Noticeable hit with lasting flavour.
Experienced
Try: VELO Max · White Fox
Extra Strong
16–28 mg
Heavy smokers or seasoned pouch users. Intense, fast-hitting. Not recommended as a starting point.
Advanced
Try: Killa · Pablo
Ultra
30–50 mg
Maximum intensity. For experienced nicotine users only. Not for beginners under any circumstances.
Max Intensity
Try: Iceberg

Pro Tips

First Time?Read This.

A few things every new user should know before cracking open their first can.

01
Start Low, Go Slow
Pick a strength one level below where you think you should be. You can always go up — going too strong first time is unpleasant.
02
Upper Lip, Tucked In
Place the pouch under your upper lip, between the gum and lip. It should sit comfortably without moving around.
03
The Tingle Is Normal
A light tingling in the first 2–3 minutes is completely normal. It fades as the pouch settles in. If it's too intense, your strength is too high.
04
30 Minutes Is the Sweet Spot
Most pouches last 20–40 minutes. Flavour peaks around 10 min and gradually fades. Remove when the flavour is gone.
05
Don't Chew, Don't Swallow
Let it sit. No chewing needed. Swallowing saliva is fine, but don't swallow the pouch itself. Dispose of it in the catch lid.
