ICE Nicotine Pouches

ICE nicotine pouches vary hugely from 6mg/pouch to 20mg/pouch, catering to an array of users who prefer different nicotine intensities. Mint is the main flavour category, although fruit is featured in the line, which is believed to be Iceland’s inaugural and only nicotine pouch brand.

Iceland’s finest - a new player in the nicotine pouch game

Nicotine pouches are a traditionally Scandinavian product. What began in Sweden spread to countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Poland, Germany, and Estonia are also heartlands of the product, while there are markets for the product in the UK and the USA. But now there is another country that has entered the mix, with Iceland introducing its first ever nicotine pouch brand.

There are two main flavours within this line:

Mint - The ICE Freeze and ICE Freeze Extra Strong come in 6mg/pouch and 11.55mg/pouch sachets of nicotine content respectively. Menthol fuses with mint in these pouches for a cooling effect. The ICE Cool Mint offers a sweet spearmint taste that is mixed with menthol in an 11.55mg/pouch product
Fruit - The ICE Grape is a robust nicotine pouch, with 15.4mg/pouch of nicotine for an intense sensation of acidic and juicy grapes. The ICE Lemon Berry mixes these two zesty fruits, and this one is paired with 11.55mg/pouch of nicotine for more experienced users

For those who can handle the most intense pouches on the market, the ICE Reaper XL utilises the full force of the iconic Carolina Reaper chilli. This is given 20mg/pouch of nicotine and includes mint to take a slight edge off this visceral nicotine pouch that only the most seasoned practitioners should try.

ICE’s nicotine guidelines go straight to the point

Knowing what is contained in a product is crucial for consumers to gain maximum enjoyment of the nicotine pouch they purchase. This is why manufacturers Nicopods EHF have adopted a points system, which is visible on the can.

The more points displayed on the can, the higher nicotine content a pouch possesses.

Those who prefer a gentler sensation are best looking for as few points as possible, while more experienced users who can deal with the intensity of stronger nicotine pouches may wish to look for products with more points.

Nicotine is not the only attribute of a strong pouch though. Moisture levels play a role because more water creates more intensity as the flavour and nicotine are transferred to the user quicker. All Ice nicotine pouches are moist. Flavours containing mint tend to have more intensity because of the frosty bite that they give the user, while ingredients with warming properties such as chilli are also naturally going to affect the strength of a product.

What else should I know about Ice nicotine pouches?

ICE nicotine pouches are slim in size, so they comfortably fit under the lip and offer privacy for users who may decide to imbibe the products on the move. The manufacturers recommend that optimal enjoyment occurs with the pouch in place for around 30 minutes, and a maximum of 100mg of nicotine a day should be consumed. This means that the number of pouches a user should have in a day is dictated by the nicotine strength of the product.
