Extreme Strength Nicopods - Why Do We Not Sell Them

With a product featuring 'nicotine' in the name, it can be easy to think that it is all about getting a buzz, which is very easy to do in the EU and UK. When nicopods first emerged, strengths rarely exceeded the strong level of 20 mg/g, and many consumers were satisfied by this. However, as time went on, appetites for nicotine began to grow, and the industry saw products released with over 100 mg/g, resulting in the birth of a whole new category of extreme strength.

If you have browsed our selection, you may have noticed that it does not feature any extremely strong products. Instead, we offer a vast range of high-quality pouches from regular (5 mg/g) to extra-strong (50 mg/g). So, why, when so many other online stores are selling extreme products with over double the strength, do we choose to limit our assortment to extra-strong? There are multiple reasons for this, which you can find out by reading on.

Strength Is Not An Indicator of Quality

Many popular, extremely strong nicopod brands, especially in the UK, such as Supreme snus, Iceberg and Candy Shop snus, mainly focus on marketing their products for maximum strength, implying that users believe more nicotine = a better product. For those who think that strength is an indicator of quality, this is unfortunately not the case.

Generally, manufacturers that develop products to contain the highest possible nicotine content overlook the flavour, aroma, mouthfeel, format and brand design. As a result, the products are often of low quality and offer nothing more than a buzz for users who have superhuman tolerances. In contrast, standard strength pouches by quality-orientated companies get made to meet the criteria for the best overall experience. A great example is Swave Daiquiri by Gotlandssnus, as it delivers a satisfying release of nicotine and delicious flavour promptly, consistently and for an extended duration, with a comfortable, discreet fit. That's more like it!

Pouches Can Feel Strong Without An Extreme Nicotine Content

Did you know that multiple factors determine strength other than the nicotine content? That is right. The nicotine content is not the sole contributor to the strength of a pouch. The variables of flavour, moisture and pH content can drastically increase or decrease the power of the product.

Flavours such as eucalyptus, menthol or coffee, coupled with high moisture content and pH levels in a pouch, can boost the speed of nicotine onset and, therefore, the 'rush' without adding any extra nicotine. So, with products such as VOLT Deep Freeze, you will experience a buzz beyond what you would expect of its mere 13 mg/pouch rating, almost 9x less the nicotine of an extreme strength pouch and with far more flavour.

Integrity Is Important: Why Sell What We Would Not Use?

As a team of veteran users who want to share our passion for pouches with others, honesty and integrity are two of our core principles. Why? Because the world of nicopods is continually evolving and expanding, and navigating it can be difficult. So, we put our experience to good use by only offering products that we have researched, approved, tried and enjoyed ourselves. Whilst we are open to considering the latest and trending pouches, we found no place in our assortment for those with extremely high nicotine contents. Such mg/g values are unnecessary, threaten the validity of smokeless alternatives and ultimately may be dangerous to consumer health.

If you are looking for a buzz, there are plenty of powerful pouches to satisfy your needs and provide you with an unforgettable flavour and aroma experience at the same time!
