Pouches That Last Longer Than Zyn (Mini Dry)
It is undeniable how popular the Zyn brand is across the world. The most popular Zyn products come in the mini dry format. But one question I get asked a lot is “how can I find something with more flavor”, or “what is there that has a longer lasting flavor?”. It’s true that mini dry pouches don’t have as much flavor, mainly due to the moisture amount, which will discuss momentarily. I’m not the biggest fan of dry pouches, so I thought it would be fun to dive into the flavors in the Zyn series that are the most popular, and make some suggestions based on those exact flavors!
Mini Dry vs Slim/Moist: The Difference
So, what is this moisture stuff about? What’s the difference? Why does it matter? Well, for most Zyn products, they come in the mini dry format. I’m not trashing it. For many people, they like it that way. And hey, that’s fine! But for some of us, we want more flavor. We want a longer lasting, more pronounced taste. That’s something that you’ll find with a moist pouch. Many of these come in the long/slim format, so they have a better fit in the lip than the mini pouches. So, in this list you’re going to find the slim/moist pouches recommended, because that is where you’re going to find more flavor!
If you like Zyn Wintergreen, try Kozmo Wintergreen
The flavor of wintergreen is quite popular, but there aren’t a lot of nicotine pouches with that flavor in the slim/moist pouch. It’s a good thing the one that exists is a good one!
Kozmo Wintergreen
SnusExpress.com Description: “A discreet and tobacco free snus packed with refreshing flavors and stimulating nicotine! Its all-white, discreet and slim nicotine pouches deliver extra strong nicotine kicks (13 mg/portion) together with a crisp and minty wintergreen flavor”
Snubie’s Comments: Kozmo Wintergreen is really the only one out there that comes in the slim/moist format. There’s another one called Ignite which isn’t bad, but this is the one I’d recommend for people who are really into that classic taste of wintergreen.
If you like Zyn Spearmint, try Velo Witty Spearmint, Volt Spearmint, or Ace Spearmint
Spearmint is my favorite mint. I think it’s a more enjoyable, refreshing taste of mint. Thankfully, if you like the taste of Zyn Spearmint, there are some good options out there for you to try out!
Velo Witty Spearmint
SnusExpress.com Description: “A discreet and tobacco free Velo Snus from the manufacturer BAT with a fresh flavor profile! Its all-white and slim nicotine pouches deliver medium strong nicotine kicks (8 mg/g) together with a refreshing spearmint flavor that is rounded off with light tones of sweetness”
Snubie’s Comments: This is one that is on the sweeter side, for those who like the more sweet, fresh taste of spearmint. It’s a pretty popular one too, and is one I’d suggest checking out.
Volt Spearmint Breeze
SnusExpress.com Description: “Volt Spearmint Breeze Strong Slim by Swedish Match and its tobacco free nicotine pouches provide an experience perfect for you who’s looking for something minty and stimulating. It delivers strong nicotine kicks (9,5 mg/portion) together with a smooth spearmint flavor that is topped with a cool dash of menthol and peppermint”
Snubie’s Comments: This one isn’t as sweet as the previous one, but is still a pretty good one. I like the taste of this one more, honestly. I think it’s more enjoyable, and a pretty solid taste.
Ace Superwhite Spearmint Slim
SnusExpress.com Description: “Ace Superwhite Spearmint Slim – A tobacco free and all-white snus perfect for your who love minty flavors and who’s looking for something discreet! Its slim sized nicotine pouches deliver medium strong nicotine kicks together with a fresh, smooth and a little bit sweet spearmint flavor”
Snubie’s Comments: This is a new one, and is kind of like the Velo one. It’s on the sweeter end, and has a pretty nice pouch and a nice flavor. I think the Volt one is a little better, but this is still a good one for those in the sweet flavor category.
If you like Zyn Peppermint or Zyn Cool Mint, try Lundgrens Rimfrost, Volt Cool Crisp, or Velo Crispy Peppermint
Zyn Peppermint and Zyn Cool Mint both have a very similar flavor, peppermint. While slightly different in hue, they both essentially boil back down to peppermint. So I’ve got a few products that I’d recommend with that flavor category.
Lundgrens Rimfrost
SnusExpress.com Description: “Experience Lundgrens in a new, all-white and tobacco free way! These regular sized nicotine pouches deliver extra strong and stimulating nicotine kicks (10 mg/portion) together with a refreshing flavor that combines tones of garden mint with a dash of minty eucalyptus”
Snubie’s Comments: Of all the peppermint flavors out there, this is one I’d definitely suggest. It’s got a beautiful, plump pouch. It’s soft, it’s comfortable, and the flavor is top notch. It’s not an overly sweet taste, and comes across really well.
Velo Crispy Peppermint
SnusExpress.com Description: “Velo Crispy Peppermint offers a refreshing and stimulating experience that not many other snus can match! They are tobacco-free, slim, and all-white nicotine pouches that deliver a fresh and ice-cold mint flavor that is topped by subtle notes of sweet butterscotch. An icy burst of mint that is enhanced by a strong and stimulating nicotine kick (9.5 mg/portion)”
Snubie’s Comments: This is a pretty intriguing peppermint flavor, it is a little on the sweeter side, and has a very faint touch of menthol. It’s a pretty well balanced and enjoyable flavor!
Volt Cool Crisp
SnusExpress.com Description: “Volt Cool Crisp Extra Strong Slim by Swedish Match offers a stimulating and incredibly refreshing experience! Its tobacco free, all-white and slim nicotine pouches deliver a biting peppermint flavor together with extra strong nicotine kicks (11 mg/portion)”
Snubie’s Comments: This is another one that has a pretty well balanced, enjoyable flavor. It’s a straightforward, icy, fresh taste of peppermint. It’s s similar to the last one, but a little bit sweeter, I believe.
If you like Zyn Citrus, try Ace Green Lemon or Lynx Fizzy Lemonade
Citrus is a pretty popular flavor, and Zyn Citrus is one that a lot of people enjoy. I have a few recommendations that I think are top notch with that flavor profile!
Ace Green Lemon
SnusExpress.com Description: “Ace Green Lemon Strong Slim by the manufacturer Ministry of Snus takes you on a stimulating and refreshing ride! Its tobacco free, all-white and slim nicotine pouches deliver a satisfying and strong nicotine kick (10.5 mg/portion) together with a fresh flavor burst of summery citrus”
Snubie’s Comments: I’ve always been a fan of this one. It’s more on the lime side, but still has a nice amount of lemon to it. It’s got a really nice, well balanced flavor. It’s slightly sweet, but balanced out with the tart elements.
Lynx Fizzy Lemonade
SnusExpress.com Description: “Lynx Fizzy Lemonade Strong – A tobacco free and all-white snus that treats you to a stimulating and refreshing experience in a discreet way! Its slim sized nicotine pouches deliver a zesty citrus flavor together with strong and satisfying nicotine kicks”
Snubie’s Comments: This is a new one, that I think is probably the best option for those who like Zyn Citrus. Zyn Citrus has always had, to me, a lemonade type flavor. And this one has that flavor in spades. If you like Zyn Citrus, you’ll want this one.
If you like Zyn Cinnamon, try Velo Cinnamon Flame
Zyn Cinnamon is pretty popular, and there aren’t many products in the slim/moist format that have a cinnamon flavor. But, there is one!
Velo Cinnamon Flame
SnusExpress.com Description: “Velo Cinnamon Flame – A tobacco free and all-white snus from the manufacturer BAT that brings the heat! These slim sized and discreet nicotine pouches deliver strong and stimulating nicotine kicks (10 mg/portion) together with a spicy flavor combination of cinnamon and black pepper that provides a warming sensation under the lip”
Snubie’s Comments: This one is a newer one that just came out that I’ve really found myself enjoying. I’ve always loved the taste of cinnamon, and I really like the sweet but spicy flavor that Velo Cinnamon flame has!
If you like Zyn Coffee, try Vid Coffee Caramel
Like cinnamon, there aren’t a lot of coffee flavors in the slim/moist format, either. But, there is one that we can discuss!
Vid Coffee Caramel Strong
SnusExpress.com Description: “VID Coffee Caramel Strong – A tobacco free and all-white snus from VID and the manufacturer Kurbits with a creamy and sweet flavor profile. Its slim and discreet nicotine pouches deliver strong nicotine kicks together with a flavor that combines coffee with tones of caramelized vanilla”
Snubie’s Comments: This is one that has a really nice coffee flavor. It’s rich, it’s complex, it’s sweet, it’s enjoyable. If you like Zyn Coffee, this one is a completely different level!
If you like Zyn Menthol, try Helwit Menthol or Après Menthol
Zyn Menthol is a newer one in the Zyn series. I don’t see a lot of people talking about it, but I wanted to make a few similar recommendations.
Helwit Menthol
SnusExpress.com Description: “Helwit Menthol Slim – A tobacco free and all-white snus perfect for you who love the refreshing coldness only a crisp mint flavor can provide. These discreet and slim sized nicotine pouches deliver strong nicotine kicks (6 mg/portion) together with an ice-cold menthol flavor that leaves a cooling sensation under your lip”
Snubie’s Comments: This one has a slightly minty/menthol type of flavor to it that is pretty enjoyable. It also has a lower strength to it, at 6mg, which should make it pretty appealing for Zyn enthusiasts.
Après Menthol
SnusExpress.com Description: “Après No1 Menthol Extra Strong – A tobacco free & all-white snus that stimulates and refreshes! Its discreet and slim nicotine pouches deliver strong nicotine kicks together with an icy menthol flavor that provides a cooling sensation”
Snubie’s Comments: This one is pretty similar to the last one, but to me it’s not as sweet. I think this one is more approachable for people who like the menthol flavor than the previous one, personally!
The Bottom Line
I know some of you are going to ask, “What about Zyn Chill and Zyn Smooth?”. Honestly, there aren’t many products out there that have that flavor in the slim/moist pouch. What flavor? The lack of flavor. Or, not so much a lack of flavor, but more of a “neutral” flavor. I think it’s something more companies should make, because some people want nicotine without flavor. But, it’s just not something out there.
As far as the other flavors out there, I think a lot of these are some great options if you’re looking for a flavor that has more presence and lasts longer. Honestly, I think every one of these is good. Whether you like cinnamon, wintergreen, or even coffee, there are a lot of great options here for you to check out!
