Your first pouch: what to buy

The biggest mistake new users make is buying too strong. A 30mg pouch on someone who has never used one means nausea, sweating and a bad half hour, and plenty of people give up on pouches after that. Start low. You can always move up.

Your situation Start at
Never smoked or vaped, or only socially 3mg to 4mg
Smoke under 10 a day, or vape lightly 4mg to 6mg
Smoke 10 or more a day, or vape most of the day 6mg, then medium strength if it isn't enough

The beginner pouches people buy most

From our own orders over the last six months:

Pouch Strengths Flavour
Valkyria Viking Maiden Peach 6mg Fruity
Nordic Spirit Raspberry 4mg, 6mg, 9mg Fruity
Nordic Spirit Sweet Mint 4mg, 6mg, 9mg, 11mg Mint
Valkyria Pictish Spearmint 4mg, 4.5mg, 9mg Mint
Kelly White Sweet Peach From 4mg Fruity
Nordic Spirit Forest Berries 6mg, 9mg Fruity

For mint, pick a spearmint or sweet mint rather than anything labelled ice or frost. Strong cooling makes a pouch feel harsher than its strength.

How to use a nicotine pouch for the first time

  • Put one pouch between your top lip and gum, off to one side.
  • You'll feel a tingle or slight burn within a minute or two. That's normal and it settles.
  • Leave it in for 10 to 15 minutes the first few times. Most regular users go 20 to 30.
  • Don't chew it, suck it or swallow it. Take it out and put it in the bin.
  • If you get hiccups, feel dizzy or sick, take it out. Next time try a lower strength or a shorter time.

Beginner questions we get asked
