Strength, flavour and format
Strength is measured in milligrams of nicotine per pouch. It is the single decision that most affects whether you enjoy the product or put it down after two minutes.
- What the mg figures actually mean — and why two cans with the same number can feel different.
- Typical flavour profiles — mint, berry, citrus, coffee, and how they are built.
- Types and formats — slim, mini, all-white, moist and dry.
- How a can is built — including the catch lid most people never use.
- Storage — whether the fridge is really necessary.
Browse by strength: Strong (11–20 mg) · Extra strong (21–30 mg) · The strongest (31–65 mg). Browse by flavour: Mint · Berry.
