A Guide To Different Strength Nicotine Pouches
Whilst the popularity and usage of nicotine pouches by adult users has seen growth over the last couple of years, they're still something which some are unsure on how to use them or if they are right for them.
One of the biggest barriers which people find before using nicotine pouches is choosing the correct nicotine strength that's right for them. Which is why we've written this handy guide to tell you everything you need to know about the different nicotine strengths in which nicotine pouches come in and how to choose the right one for you.
Understanding Different Nicotine Pouch Strengths
Much like vape juice, nicotine pouches are available in various different nicotine strengths as to cater to everyone's individual needs. This offers new users a chance to try them out by using a low strength as well as appealing to those who have a higher tolerance for nicotine as they may get on better with the higher nicotine strengths.
You'll commonly see nicotine pouch strengths in two different forms, either a specific number per mg or worded such as Low, Medium, Strong etc. And this can be confusing when you're first starting out on your nicotine pouch journey, so we'll explain what exactly each thing means.
Nicotine pouches, especially Menthol or Mint flavours, will often give a "tingling" sensation when they are put in place between the upper gum and upper lip. This is a perfectly normal sensation as it's the effects of the nicotine absorbing through the gum lining and into your system.
This tingling effect is heightened with different nicotine strength pouches, and we'll highlight the level of tingling per strength with the breakdowns below.
Exploring the Range: From Low to Extra Strong
For the purpose of this blog, we will use the word descriptions for the nicotine strengths of nic pouches but also reference the number range which falls into each of these categories.
EDGE Nicotine Pouches are available in the full spectrum of nicotine strengths, suitable for anyone whether that be new users to nic pouches or more experienced users looking for a strong and smooth nicotine hit.
We have low nicotine strengths such as 3mg or 6mg to choose from, medium nicotine strength which is 9mg as well as strong nicotine strength which is 12mg. And in certain flavours, we also have extra strong nicotine strength which is 16mg.
Low Strength Nicotine Pouches: Perfect For Beginners/New Users
Low strength nicotine pouches are the ideal starting point for anyone who is new to using nicotine pouches. The nicotine strength of low nic pouches is normally between 3mg and 6mg, meaning it will not be a full on or intense nicotine absorption as the mg per pouch will be small and provide a smooth and subtle nicotine hit.
Nicotine pouches provide a very different nicotine asborption process, as they are placed into the mouth between the upper lip and upper gum where the nicotine then absorbs through the gum lining over a duration of time so if you use a low nicotine strength like 3mg or 6mg, this isn't going to be too overpowering for you to start with.
Even if you've previously used a higher nicotine strength vape juice, this doesn't correlate to what strength nicotine pouches you can use. For example, we wouldn't recommend a higher strength nic pouch to a new user as the nicotine absorption will be very fast and can be overwhelming to some, especially if they have a low tolerance for nicotine.
Low nicotine strength nicotine pouches will have a very minimal tingling effect due to the lower nicotine strength per pouch. However, if you opt for a mint/menthol flavour, these always tend to heighten the tingling regardless of the nicotine strength so bare that in mind if choosing a minty flavour.
Medium Strength Nicotine Pouches: The Balanced Choice
Medium strength nicotine pouches are middle of the road when it comes to the different strengths, and these are a good option for either those with a better tolerance for nicotine or someone who's used low nicotine strength pouches and looking for a little bit more of a nicotine hit.
Any strength around 8mg-11mg is considered a medium nicotine strength and this will provide a much more punchier nicotine hit once you put the pouch in place in the opening few minutes, but will gradually subside over time to provide a smooth continued nicotine absorption.
The tingling effect will be more present with medium strength nicotine pouches but again, this does subside after the first few minutes. We wouldn't advise new users of nic pouches to use medium strength as this can be off putting.
Strong & Extra Strong Nicotine Pouches: For Experienced Users
These two strengths are only advised to be used by those who have plenty of experience of using nicotine pouches so to know what to expect once the mg content of the nic pouch is increased.
Strong strengths range from 12-16mg and Extra Strong is anything 16mg upwards. There are some extremely strong nicotine pouches on the market which are upwards of 40mg nicotine strength and these must be used with caution as this will provide a VERY strong nicotine absorption and may be far too overwhelming to those who aren't expecting it.
If you've used nicotine pouches previously and gradually worked up from a low to medium strength, then naturally a strong strength would be the next steps before experimenting with extra strong nicotine strengths.
As the nicotine content will be at it's peak with these two strengths, then the tingling sensation will be very prominent, especially if choosing a mint based flavour and this can be quite intense and it's something not everyone can tolerate.
EDGE Nicotine Pouches are available in strong nicotine strength which is 12mg and we also have Extra Strong, which is 16mg, available in Mint flavour.
Comparing Nicotine Strengths - What to Consider When Choosing The Right Pouch For You
When comparing nicotine strengths for nicotine pouches and choosing the right one for you, there are some key factors to consider to ensure you have a pleasurable nicotine pouch experience!
-
Previous Nicotine Experience
Working out your nicotine tolerance is a pivotal part of the process when choosing your nicotine pouch strength. As we've mentioned already and we cannot stress enough, the absorption experience of nicotine pouches is very different to what it is when vaping or previously smoking, so even though you may use a higher nicotine strength vape juice like 20mg nicotine salts, this may not relate to you being able to use 20mg nicotine pouches.
-
Achieveing The Desired Effect
You must know what the desired effect of using nicotine pouches is that you are looking for before using them. Are you looking for a subtle and smooth nicotine absorption for a prolonged period of time? If so, low to medium strength nicotine pouches could be the right ones for you. But if you're looking for a shorter, sharper more intense hit of nicotine, then maybe you'll be better using the stronger strength pouches.
-
Personal Sensitivity and Tolerance To Nicotine
Understanding and knowing your tolerance and sensitivity to nicotine is arguably the most important factor to consider when looking to start using nicotine pouches. If you find higher strength nicotine vape juices too strong, then chances are you're not going to enjoy using the higher strength nicotine pouches. The nicotine absorbing effect with nicotine pouches is very different to what it is when vaping.
