Starting Your Nicotine Pouch Journey

Find Your Perfect Pouch: Strength, Flavour, and Size Explained

Welcome to the world of tobacco-free nicotine! Nicotine pouches offer a discreet and convenient way to enjoy nicotine, but with so many options available, it's natural to feel a little overwhelmed when starting out. Here's what you need to know to pick the right pouch for you.

1. Nicotine Strength: Start Low, Go Slow

This is the most crucial factor for beginners. Nicotine pouches come in a wide range of strengths, usually measured in milligrams (mg) per pouch. For a smooth introduction, we highly recommend starting with lower strength options, typically up to 6mg per pouch.

Beginner:

Pouch Strength: Start low, ideally up to 6mg per pouch.

Quitting Smoking (Light Smoker <10/day): Low strength (2-6mg) is a good starting point. Even if you smoked more, start low with pouches.

Vape Comparison: Don't directly match vape strength (e.g., 10-20mg salts). Pouch absorption is different. Start with low-strength pouches (e.g., 6mg) regardless.

Key Tip: Prioritize "mg per pouch." Start low; you can increase if needed.

2. Flavour: Explore and Discover Your Preference

One of the great advantages of nicotine pouches is the vast array of flavours. From classic mint and menthol to a variety of fruits, coffee, and even unique dessert blends, there's a flavour for every palate.

Mint & Menthol: Often a popular choice for beginners due to their refreshing and familiar taste. Many mint flavours also offer a cooling sensation which can enhance the perceived strength.

Fruity: If you prefer something sweeter, explore options like berry, citrus, grape, or mango. These can offer a pleasant and less intense experience.

Other options: Don't be afraid to experiment with coffee, liquorice, or even unflavoured pouches once you're more comfortable.

Consider what flavours you typically enjoy in other foods or drinks to guide your initial selection.

3. Pouch Size: Discreetness and Comfort

Gone are the days of bulky pouches. Today, the vast majority of nicotine pouches on the market are designed for discreetness and comfort, with most brands opting for a slim format.

While you might still encounter "mini" pouches (slightly smaller for an almost invisible fit) or "large" pouches (less common and more noticeable), the slim size has become the industry standard. These pouches are designed to fit comfortably and subtly under your lip, offering a discreet way to enjoy nicotine without drawing attention. This means no matter which brand you choose, you can expect a comfortable and inconspicuous experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beginner Nicotine Pouch FAQs

What exactly is a nicotine pouch?

Nicotine pouches are small, discreet pouches containing nicotine, plant-based fibres, flavourings, and sweeteners. Unlike traditional snus, they are completely tobacco-free. They offer a smokeless and spit-free way to enjoy nicotine.

How do I use a nicotine pouch?

It's simple! Take one pouch out of the can and place it comfortably between your upper lip and gum, usually to the side. You don't need to chew, suck, or swallow it. Just let it sit there, and the nicotine and flavour will release gradually.

How long should I keep a nicotine pouch in for?

For beginners, it's a good idea to start with about 15-30 minutes to get used to the sensation. Most pouches deliver nicotine and flavour for 30 to 60 minutes. You can remove it sooner if you feel you've had enough or if the flavour fades.

What strength should I start with if I'm new to nicotine pouches?

Always start with a low strength. We highly recommend beginner strengths of up to 6mg per pouch. Even if you've smoked or vaped before, nicotine absorption from pouches is different, so it's best to start low and gradually increase if needed.

Is a tingling sensation normal when I use a pouch?

Yes! A slight tingling or burning sensation where the pouch is placed is very common, especially when you're new to nicotine pouches. This is just the nicotine and flavour releasing and interacting with your gums. It usually subsides after a few minutes. If it's too intense, you might want to try a lower strength.

Can I swallow the saliva produced while using a nicotine pouch?

While it's generally recommended to avoid swallowing excessive amounts of saliva, accidentally swallowing small amounts isn't usually harmful as the ingredients are food-grade. However, swallowing too much nicotine-infused saliva, especially from higher strengths, can sometimes lead to mild stomach discomfort or nausea. Many users simply swallow as normal, but if you experience discomfort, you can gently spit if needed.

Are nicotine pouches addictive?

Yes, nicotine is an addictive substance, regardless of how it's consumed. Nicotine pouches contain nicotine and, like any nicotine product, can lead to dependence with regular use. It's important to be aware of this potential for addiction.

How do I dispose of used nicotine pouches?

Once you're finished with a pouch, simply remove it and dispose of it responsibly in a general waste bin. Many nicotine pouch cans have a convenient compartment in the lid specifically for used pouches when a bin isn't immediately available.
