Different Size Nicotine Pouches Explained
Mini Nicotine Pouches
Mini nicotine pouches are the smallest of the trio of sizes as you may have guessed by the name of them!
Mini nic pouches are very small in size and normally only come in lower nicotine strengths such as 3mg and this is because they only contain a small amount of the powdered nicotine formula, and the nicotine strengths go up based on how much powdered nicotine is used.
All nicotine pouches do offer a certain level of discretion, but Mini pouches hold the throne for the ultimate discretion as they are so small, you might not even feel that you've got one in place in your mouth half the time, let alone anybody noticing that you've got one in! They don't cause any bulging of the upper lip and sit very comfortably in the mouth.
Slim Nicotine Pouches
Slim nic pouches are almost the same as standard nicotine pouches, but as you may have guessed, they're more slim in design so they sit comfortably in the mouth and offer a high level of discretion.
Slim pouches are normally available in the mid range nicotine strengths of 6mg up to 12mg and this size is commonly associated with the leading brands of nicotine pouches such as Nordic Spirit and VELO nicotine pouches.
Regular Nicotine Pouches
Regular/Regular Plus size nicotine pouches are the largest of the three listed here and are more associated with the considerably higher nicotine strengths of 30mg or above.
The reason for this is to achieve a higher nicotine strength of the pouch, more powdered nicotine must be included within the pouch hence why the pouches are larger in size.
Whilst still offering a certain level of discretion, when using these there can be a slight bulging of the lip when one is in place, so bare this in mind if you're not wanting others around you knowing that you have a nic pouch in place as it may be slightly noticeable.
We would only recommend more experienced nic pouch users, or those with a higher tolerance for nicotine to use standard sized high strength nicotine pouches.

The Benefits of Using Different Size Nicotine Pouches
Convenience & Discretion
Using any size of nicotine pouch offers a high level of convenience and you don't have to disrupt whatever it is you're doing to get your nicotine fix. You can grab a pouch out of the can and pop it in place in your mouth and continue on with your day. These are useful if you're on the go a lot or work in a busy environment that doesn't allow for frequent breaks.
By using the smaller and low strength nicotine pouches, you can enjoy a more prolonged slow release of nicotine or if you're wanting a more sharp and bigger nicotine hit, you can opt to use the higher strength nicotine pouches. This is convenient if you're looking for a slow and steady nicotine intake or a punchier burst of nicotine.
Portability
Nearly all cans of nicotine pouches include 20 individual nicotine pouches as standard. However, some brands of the mini nicotine pouches will include 25 nicotine pouches as they are smaller in size, more can be fit within the can.
Because of these smaller size of the pouches, the cans which they come in are notably smaller, making them even more portable and the perfect size for any pocket or hand bag which you can reach into and grab at any time when you're feeling those cravings for nicotine creeping in.
Even regular size nicotine pouch cans are pocket size and you can just grab them and go. Compared to if you used an e-cigarette, you'd always need to ensure you carry spare vape juice bottles to top up your vape when you're running low, but this isn't the case with nicotine pouches!
Full Control On Nicotine Intake
With a variety of different size nicotine pouches available in a variety of different nicotine strengths, this gives you the opportunity to have full control over your nicotine intake.
If you're only wanting to enjoy a lower strength nicotine, then Mini nicotine pouches would be best for you.
Whereas if you wanted to have a bigger nicotine hit, buying regular nicotine pouches in the higher nicotine strengths would be the best option for you.
Gradual Nicotine Strength Reduction
If you're starting out on using nicotine pouches, you may find that you'd need to use a strength that is more commonly found in the slim or standard sized nicotine pouches. Gradually over time, you might find that your nicotine dependency starts to dwindle down, and you may be looking at dropping down the nicotine strength in your pouches.
If you do this, you may be able to then experience the Mini pouches that have lower strength nicotine options. You're in total control when it comes to your nicotine intake and there's a strength available that caters to everyone's needs every step of the way!
Variety of Flavours To Choose From
Some brands of nicotine pouches will make flavours which are exclusive to specific size nicotine pouches, and with more brands than ever to choose from now, there really is a flavour for everyone!
The good thing about this is that there may be a flavour you want to try which is only available in mini sized nic pouches. This then opens the door for you to try out mini pouches and see if they're right for you. And the same applies to the other sizes that we have mentioned as well.
