Nicotine pouches are the next big thing in the tobacco alternative market. If you’re new to the world of nicotine pouches, you need to know that they contain nicotine, flavourings, and other ingredients, but are completely free of tobacco leaf, which means that nic pouches are considered a less harmful alternative to smoking.

To use a nicotine pouch you simply place it in your mouth between your top lip and your gum. You’ll then feel a slight tingling sensation as the nicotine and flavours release from the pouch. One of the benefits of nicotine pouch use is that you can enjoy their refreshing flavour anywhere you are, due to their small size and discreetness. With no vapour produced, you can use a nicotine pouch indoors, in the office, in the pub....anywhere really!

But which nicotine pouches should you choose? Velo, Helwit, Pablo Exclusive, and Killa are the some of the biggest names in the nic pouch market. Here is a brief review of each brand to help you choose the right pouches for you.

Velo Nicotine Pouches

Velo is a market leader in the nicotine pouch sector throughout Scandinavia and specialises in simple but satisfying nicotine flavours.

The flavour offering from Velo is both wide and diverse. Some of the most popular flavours include Cherry Ice, Cinnamon Flame, and Tropical Ice. If you prefer a more classic flavour, Velo also offer a selection of mint and menthol, such as Polar Mint. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, why not start your mornings with a Creamy Latte pouch to complement your morning coffee?

When it comes to performance and user experience, Velo nicotine pouches rank highly too. Velo pouches use tobacco-free nicotine; an effective modern alternative to real tobacco and one that is better for harm reduction. They also have only a handful of ingredients, like pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, flavourings, plant-based fillers, and water. Velo nic pouches are available in a range of nicotine strengths to suit your needs, ranging from high (17mg) to low (4mg), catering to both new and experienced pouch users.

Helwit Nicotine Pouches

Helwit nic pouches are an easy-to-use way of consuming nicotine and alleviating cravings. The flavour range available is much smaller than that offered by Velo, but this should come as no surprise because Velo offers the widest range of nicotine pouch flavours in the UK!

Helwit offers just six nicotine pouch flavours, but they are a great selection! You can enjoy Blueberry, Violet, Mocha, Menthol, Mint and Orange. The theme of the packaging is stylish and colour-coordinated to each flavour too. These pouches range in strength from 6mg to 15mg. When it comes to quality, Helwit prioritises the use of high-quality ingredients, including premium nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves. The extraction process removes 100% of the tobacco content, resulting in virtually tasteless nicotine that allows the added flavourings to shine through.

Pablo Exclusive Nicotine Pouches

Pablo emerges from the seasoned expertise of N.G.P Europe, a company celebrated for creating premium nicotine pouches. This means you know you’re getting unmatched quality when you choose a Pablo pouch.

These are also the strongest pouches on this list with each pouch offering 30mg strength, catering to seasoned nic pouch users - if you’re looking for a powerful nicotine hit then Pablo is a great choice. When it comes to flavours, the selection is relatively small but Pablo still offer a good mix of fruit, mint, and coffee flavours. Grape Ice, Frosted Ice, and Mango Ice are three of the most popular flavours from the brand.

Each Pablo tub contains 20 nicotine pouches: that’s the same as a large deck of cigarettes; therefore, your Pablo nicotine pouches will last the same amount of time as a cigarette pack for a former smoker, but will do less harm and are set at a more affordable price.

Killa Nicotine Pouches

Killa is one of the biggest and most well-known brands in the nicotine pouch world. The distinctive rocker-inspired packaging helps Killa to stand out from the crowd.

The brand boasts a wide range of flavours, from classic options like Cold Mint to more adventurous choices such as Cola. Each pouch is crafted to deliver a potent nicotine hit, catering to the needs of experienced users looking for a strong and flavoursome experience. Popular flavours from the range include Blueberry, Pineapple, and Cappuccino.

In terms of user experience, you might notice that Killa pouches are a little smaller than those from other brands. This is an intentional design choice from the brand. The slim build of each pouch aids in providing optimal comfort, a snug fit, and ultimate discreteness. It is worth noting that Killa nicotine pouches are designed to be extra strong and this brand does not offer a choice of strengths. Each pouch offers 16 - 16.5mg of nicotine potency. That means that Killa pouches are best suited to established pouch users, vapers, or former smokers. Those new to nicotine pouch use should start their journey with a lower-strength product.
