Low / Light Strength Nicotine Pouches

Low / Light Strength Nicotine Pouches

When it comes to nicotine products, a lot of the focus in the conversation tends to be focused around the highest strength products. However, there is another aspect of this conversation that doesn’t seem to get much attention. It’s also a very common question I get asked. To my knowledge, there isn’t an article out there about this, so I felt like it was time to put something out that focuses on this topic. There is a large segment of consumers that don’t want to rush to the top and use the super high strength stuff. I get asked almost daily what the lower strength products on the market are. So, I went down the line and looked at the nicotine strength of every product, and I calculated the 10 lowest brands of nicotine strength on the market. These products will range from 2.78mg per pouch up to 4.52mg per pouch. There’s a wide array of flavors in this list, as well as a mix of regular sized/slim sized pouches and mini sized pouches. Some like the mini sized pouches because of how small and discrete they are. I’m not a big fan of mini pouches myself and like a more full sized pouch, so I tend to go to the slim size, myself. No matter where you fall, today we’re going to dive into this list and check out all the low strength products on the market for those who don’t want a crazy strong kick of nicotine!

Apres Petite - 2.78mg

Products: Raspberry Licorice Mini, Ice Tea Peach Mini, Cola Mini

 

Brand Description: "The natural plant fiber filling used by these small nicopods ensures that they won’t stain and that they drip minimally. This minimal amount of drip makes in turn sure that they provide a satisfyingly long-lasting release of both flavor and nicotine".

 

Raspberry Licorice Flavor: "a tasty flavor combination of raspberry and licorice".

Ice Tea Peach Flavor: "a fruity flavor of peach & black tea".

Cola Flavor: "a sweet & tasty cola flavor".

 

Snubie's Comments: When I was browsing strengths, I was surprised to see one that was this low. I figured 3mg would be about the bottom line for strengths, but when I saw 2.78mg/pouch I was surprised! The Après line has been around a while, but now it seems as though they have added mini pouches to their lineup, which reduces their strength even lower! Of this list, I’ve had all of these flavors and the one I enjoyed the most is probably the Ice Tea Peach one!

Zyn Mini Dry - 3mg

Products: Black Cherry, Espressino, Apple Mint, Bellini, Gold Mini Dry

 

Brand Description: "The all-white filling used by its comfortable portions consists of a natural plant fiber mix. It ensures that they won’t stain while it also gives them their dry character. This dry character minimizes their drip and lengthens their release of both flavor and nicotine".

 

Black Cherry Flavor: "a fruity flavor of cherries topped with tones of almond and caramel”.

Espressino Flavor: "a creamy and dark espresso flavor topped with nuances of nougat, chocolate and vanilla”.

Apple Mint Flavor: "a taste of crisp green apple with peppermint and spearmint”.

Bellini Flavor: "a Bellini inspired flavor of peaches topped with tasty tones of green grapes and fruit tea”.

Gold Flavor: "a clear tobacco character”.

 

Snubie's Comments: I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Zyn. It is one of the most popular products on the market. I’m not a big fan of the super dry pouches like these or ON, but they are popular for a reason. I’ve had all these in the past and the one I remember liking the most was the Gold flavor. It had a surprisingly nice tobacco-inspired flavor!

ON 3 - 3.04mg

Products: Mint, Berry, Lemon Berry Mini Dry

 

Brand Description: "The cellulose powder used as filling comes with some nice advantages over traditional tobacco blends. These pouches drips minimally, stays fresh without the need to store them refrigerated and since they stay completely white throughout the whole usage, they won’t stain your teeth".

 

Mint Flavor: "a long lasting mint flavor"

Berry Flavor: " a fruity wild berry flavor"

Lemon Berry Flavor: "lemon and berry"

 

Snubie's Comments: ON! is another one of the mini dry pouches that has a pretty decent sized following to it. It’s been a bit since I’ve had these, but I remember them being milder in taste, so I think people who want something that is light in flavor and light in strength will be pretty pleased with this brand.

Helwit - 3.5mg

Products: Helwit Violet, Cola, Mint

 

Brand Description: "Its comfortable, slim and all-white nicotine pouches use a filling that consists of natural plant fibers. This high-quality filling ensures that they won’t stain and that they drip minimally".

 

Violet Flavor: "a tasty violet flavor".

Cola Flavor: "a sweet and tasty cola flavor".

Mint Flavor: "a fresh and sweet mint flavor”.

 

Snubie’s Comments: On this list you’ll find Helwit twice. They have two strengths, a 3.5mg and a 4.5mg. In this category, the 3.5mg, you’ll find some pretty nice tastes. Of these, I think the violet one was the best, mainly because of how unique it is. But all three are pretty solid! These are also not super small in size, so you can get a more full/slim sized pouch for your lip.

Velo Mini - 3.99mg

Products: Nutty Virginia Mini, Humble Spearmint Mini, Punchy Lime Mini

 

Brand Description: "The natural plant fiber filling used by these small nicopods ensures that they won’t stain and that they provide a low drip experience. This minimal amount of drip makes sure that they deliver a long-lasting release of both flavor and nicotine"

 

Nutty Virginia Flavor: "a tobacco inspired flavor with nutty undertones".

Humble Spearmint Flavor: "a sweet spearmint flavor topped by cool notes of menthol"

Punchy Lime Flavor: "a refreshingly tangy lime flavor"

 

Snubie's Comments: These are another range of mini sized pouches, but they’re moist and not dry. These are all really nice flavors, too. The Nutty Virginia is probably one of the closest tobacco tasting pouches I’ve had yet. Punchy Lime is a nice summery taste, good for beer pairing. And Humble Spearmint is a refreshing, sweet, spearmint type of flavor. It also has smaller, pocket friendly cans!

Ace Low - 3.9mg

Products: Cool Mint, Berry Breeze

 

Brand Description: "The filling used consists of natural plant fibers. It ensures that these comfortable nicotine pouches won’t stain and that they provide a low drip experience, something that results in a long-lasting release of flavor".

 

Cool Mint Flavor: "smooth spearmint flavor".

Berry Breeze Flavor: "a fresh black currant-mint flavor".

 

Snubie's Comments: Ace is a line of nicotine pouches that I’ve long been a fan of. They’re quite high quality, and they have slim pouches with a nice moisture content to them. Both of these flavors are good, whether you like fruit tastes or mint tastes!

XQS Elderflower 4mg - 4mg

 

Brand Description: "These discreet slim-portions use a high-quality filling that consists of natural plant fibers. It ensures that they won’t stain and that that they offer a low drip experience for a long-lasting release of both flavor and nicotine".

 

Flavor Description: "A summery elderflower-citrus flavor".

 

Snubie's Comments: I really like this one. I’m a big fan of elderflower and there aren't a lot of them out there. This one also has a slim sized pouch, not a mini, and a nice moisture amount. It’s great for the spring or summer weather, too! This one is a must try, honestly.

77 Light - 4mg

Products: Apple Mint, Strawberry, Ice Mint, Forest Fruits, Watermelon, Cherry, Fresh Mint

 

Brand Description: "Its discreet portions use a filling that consists of natural plant fibers. An all-white filling that has some pretty neat qualities. It ensures that they won’t stain and that they drip minimally".

 

Apple Mint Flavor: "a fresh mint flavor topped by tones of green apples".

Ice Mint Flavor: "an icy peppermint flavor".

Forest Fruit Flavor: "a flavor of forest fruits".

Snubie's Comments: The 77 Light series is a pretty big one. It has slim sized pouches, so not mini sized. And, a lot of different flavors with a low strength! Off this list, the ones I’ve had that I enjoyed the most were Strawberry, Forest Fruit, and Watermelon. But honestly, all of them are solid. 77 makes some pretty decent flavors.

Helwit - 4.5mg

Products: Mocha, Orange, Blueberry, Cherry

 

Brand Description: "Its comfortable, slim and all-white nicotine pouches use a filling that consists of natural plant fibers. This high-quality filling ensures that they won’t stain and that they drip minimally".

 

Mocha Flavor: "a tasty flavor combination of mocha coffee and caramel chocolate".

Orange Flavor: "a fruity orange flavor".

Blueberry Flavor: "a sweet, tasty and long-lasting blueberry flavor".

Cherry Flavor: "a tart and sweet cherry flavor'.

 

Snubie's Comments: We come back to Helwit again, but these are slightly stronger, at 4.5mg per pouch. They’re all pretty tasty, too! The Mocha one is great for coffee drinkers. The Orange one has a nice citrus taste. The Blueberry one is quite refreshing. And the Cherry one has a beautiful taste of cherry. These aren’t mini, either, so a little bigger in size!

Apres - 4.52mg

Products: Ice Tea Peach, Cola, Very Berry, Raspberry Licorice, Lemon Curd, Mint

 

Brand Description: "The natural plant fiber filling used by these small nicopods ensures that they won’t stain and that they drip minimally. This minimal amount of drip makes in turn sure that they provide a satisfyingly long-lasting release of both flavor and nicotine".

 

Ice Tea Peach Flavor: "a sweet peach and black tea flavor"

Cola Flavor: "a sweet cola flavor"

Very Berry Flavor: "a taste of berry"

Raspberry Licorice Flavor: "a tasty raspberry-licorice flavor"

Lemon Curd Flavor: "a refreshing lemon flavor"

Mint Flavor: "a refreshing mint flavor".

 

Snubie's Comments: Après is a pretty solid line. It has slim pouches and pretty decent product quality! Unlike the petite above, these are a bit stronger, at 4.52mg/pouch. Of this list, I liked the Ice Tea Peach and Cola ones the most. But, all of these flavors are pretty solid depending on what you’re looking for!

The Bottom Line

 

I’m glad to get an article out there about this topic, because it’s one a lot of people ask about but one that there isn’t much out there about. Here we have products ranging from 2.78mg up to 4.52mg, but all pretty low in strength. And there are a LOT of different flavors and portion formats here, so no matter what you like to use, you’ll definitely be able to find something on this list that you’re going to enjoy!
