Step 1: Choose the Right Nicotine Pouch

Nicotine pouches come in various strengths and flavours, and choosing what’s right for you is essential.

Strength: This is important as some pouches currently on the market start as low as 1mg to 150mg. As a beginner, we suggest starting right from the lowest strength pouch possible, currently our Polar Mint 6mg Nicotine Pouch by VELO. Starting from a low-strength pouch will allow you to assess the tolerance that works for you, and if you want more impact, you can slowly work your way up. We have simplified the strengths into five categories to make it easier for you.

Low -These are nicotine pouches ranging from 1mg to 6mg. They are very mild and don’t contain much nicotine. We recommend starting from here if you are generally new to nicotine pouches.

Medium - Medium-strength nicotine pouches range from 7mg to 11mg. They are a bit stronger than the low-strength nicotine pouches, but you will start to notice the nicotine as there is more of it in each pouch.

High - High-strength nicotine pouches go from 12mg to 20mg, paired with various flavours. At this strength, you will find that these nicotine pouches hold a punch but are less potent than the next two. Those who use nic salts or disposable vapes will find this strength a good starting point to get into nicotine pouches.

Strong - Strong-nicotine pouches go from 21 to 40mg, so you're working your way up to the higher end. You would notice a big difference from the previous strengths and pack a higher kick. We wouldn’t recommend these for novices or beginners, but this is definitely for those experienced in the world of nicotine pouches.

Extra Strong - Finally, we recommend Extra Strong Nicotine Pouches only to those familiar with it and who have worked their way up. These pouches are 41mg above and go to 150mg—enough nicotine in each pouch to wake you up and end your craving immediately.

Flavour: Nicotine pouches come in an array of flavours which we have categorised to make it simpler for you. If you vape already, we recommend going with the flavours you love, as most brands have replicated their vaping flavours into their nicotine pouches. If that isn’t the case, then you can find the breakdown of the flavours below:

Beverage Inspired -This category is perfect for you if you love the taste of coffee, fizzy drinks like cola, Energy Drinks, or cheesecake—the nicotine pouches in this category range from 10mg to 50mg.

Candy & Sweet - If you're a sweet tooth fan, you’ll be able to reminisce about the taste of gummy bears, bubblegum, and liquorice flavours, classics of childhood nostalgia.

Citrus - Everyone loves a bit of citrus in their life. These citrus-based nicotine pouches will brighten your senses and wake you up. From the classic flavours like lime and lemon, various choices are available.

Exotic - These pouches are perfect if daring and looking to taste unique flavours. Feel the warmth of vibrant tropical fruits like dragon fruit or the alluring flame of Emerald nicotine pouches.

Fruit - The go-to basics for all users. You will find them here if you're into mundane, vanilla flavours. The nicotine pouches have a kick and come in flavours like Apple, Banana, Blueberry, Cherry, and so much more. Enjoy your five a day with a side of nicotine.

Herbal & Spice - If you're looking for aromatic and spiced-up nicotine pouches, the herbal and spice category is for you. From Cinnamon to Jalapeno and flame mango, these nicotine pouches will provide that complex and satisfying feeling.

Minty & Cool - These nicotine pouches are refreshing and cool. They replicate the taste of menthol, Mint and Ice, which refreshes you. They also come alongside flavours like Strawberry, Watermelon and other fruit types, so there are many combinations to choose from.

Natural - If you are a traditionalist and enjoy the taste of natural-inspired flavours, this is undoubtedly the one for you. You get to enjoy your nicotine without the harmful components that are in a cigarette.

Step 2: Open the tin/container

Once you have the flavour and strength that is right for you, enjoy your nicotine pouch, pop or twist the tin open. You should find 20 or more white pouches of pure plant fibres inside. Each sachet or pouch contains flavouring, additives, and the main component, nicotine. The nicotine can come in two forms: pure nicotine extracted and synthesised. We recommend checking the manufacturer's specifications if interested in what's in them. Additionally, each brand will have a specific amount of pouches. Some come in the 20s or 27 per tin, so it is always good to check how many you get per tin.

Step 3: Placing the pouch

Once you've opened the tin, grab a pouch and place it between your lip and gum. It is up to preference which side you want on, and you can experiment with which side feels more effective. The sachets are made of pure plant fibre and are designed in a mesh style to allow the nicotine and flavours to pass through. These will then enter via your bloodstream quickly as the mouth and gum have a high density of blood vessels, which transport all the nicotine around your body and satisfy your needs.

Nicotine Pouches Should be Placed Under Your Lip

Place the nicotine pouch between your lip and gum.

Step 4: Enjoy the experience

Now it's about time; most nicotine pouch manufacturers recommend keeping the pouch in for up to 60 minutes; however, this varies. We recommend checking the instructions to ensure that the pouch is used in the correct time frame if you have yet to use the specific brand or range. Keeping it longer could mean you will start to taste sour flavours, similar to maintaining gum in your mouth. After a while, the taste will disappear. When that happens, you can move on to the next step.

Recommend a 30 Minute Wait to Enjoy Your Nicotine Pouch

Read the instructions on the nicotine pouch tin as a pouch can last between 20-60 minutes depending on the brand. 

Step 5: Dispose the used pouch

Your times up with your tasty nicotine pouch. What should you do now? Just remove it from your mouth and place it in the bin. Most brands also have a cap feature that is conveniently placed to allow you to put the used nicotine pouch in if there is no bin nearby—making it efficient and less of an excuse just to discard it on the street. Once the tin is empty, simply place the tin in a bin or recycle bin if the used pouches have been removed already.

Once Used Remove Pouch and Dispose Of It Responsibly

Place the used nicotine pouch in the container or dispose of in the bin.

Step 6: Rinse & Repeat

So you’ve just enjoyed your hit of nicotine; now you can start the cycle again and continue the process. There is no limit or time where you can’t use another, so you are good to go straight away. Once you have gone through your current pouches, you can save and find more nicotine pouches here at nicpouches.com.

Additional Tips & Tricks Storage:

We recommend storing nicotine pouches in a cool and dry place. Keep them away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can cause the flavourings and ingredients to degrade, leading to a less enjoyable experience. Humidity is also important, as it prevents you from storing your nicotine pouches, as moisture can cause mould growth and deterioration. Additionally, using the original package, designed to keep the pouches in a sealed container, ensures freshness and protects them from environmental effects.

Refrigeration: This isn’t necessary, but storing nicotine pouches can maintain the pouch's freshness and moisture. The added cold can also give you that cold/icy experience from menthol-flavoured nicotine pouches.

Right Flavour & Strength: Experiment with different flavours and strengths. We stock various products, from berries and apples to citrus and beverages. Finding something that makes your experience more enjoyable is vital. Alongside that is the strength; finding something that is right for you means you can enjoy your nicotine pouch experience—helping to prevent unpleasant effects like dizziness and nausea.

Timing: Nicotine pouches usually last for 20-60 minutes. However, remove the pouch when you feel like you have had enough. Avoiding continuous use is also essential, as overuse can lead to gum irritation or sensitivity.

Hydration: Using nicotine pouches can cause your mouth to become dry for some users. Drinking water before and after is essential to keep yourself hydrated and comfortable.

Switch it Up: Rotating flavours regularly can prevent you from getting bored or too accustomed to one taste, so this helps with keeping the experience fresh. You can browse all the available flavours here at nicpouches.com.
