Many traditional dip chewers are now switching to nicotine pouches. The main reason for this massive shift is that people find nicotine pouches a lot more discrete and easier to use. Even though the number of dip pouch consumers are growing rapidly, many are still unsure about how much nicotine is in each pouch of dip. Moreover, many don’t even know how much nicotine they need to have an enjoyable experience. No need to worry - all of this will be explained bellow!

What is inside dip pouch?

Let’s first zoom outwards to see what exactly is inside your dip pouches, so we can know exactly how much nicotine come in one. There are two types of nicotine pouches: tobacco filled dip pouches and tobacco-free dip pouches.

Tobacco filled nicotine pouches take the same tobacco from dip or chewing tobacco and encase it inside a pouch, usually made of cotton. These are great for people who want that classic dip flavor; however, you still have to spit, your teeth get stained, and you will need more pouches to get to the level of nicotine you would use with canned dip.

Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are filled with isolated nicotine along with flavoring and carrier material such as plant fiber. The flavor tastes less like tobacco and more like the flavoring since the nicotine is isolated. You also do not have to spit, and it does not stain your teeth! This makes it much more discrete. The nicotine levels can also be precise since the dip pouch maker can scientifically engineer and replicate the exact amount of nicotine that they want in each dip pouch. Some tobacco-free dip pouches still have tobacco derived nicotine, so to make sure you get a completely tobacco free product look for the TFN® trademark, which guarantees that the product is made from tobacco-free nicotine (TFN).

Which nicotine strength is right for you?

There are two main strengths dip pouch users enjoy comfortably: 3mg nicotine and 7mg nicotine.

The 3mg nicotine pouch is perfect for someone who is a light or occasional nicotine consumer. The effects last up to 20 minutes depending on your tolerance and size. Many of these users opt for a flavor that refreshes the mouth such as citrus or wintergreen. 

The 7mg nicotine pouch is perfect for the seasoned nicotine consumer, who craves a heavy dose. The effects can even last over 20 minutes with this strength – again depending on your tolerance and size. Many of these users opt for a flavor with a stronger burn such as mint or cinnamon.

The verdict:

Nicotine pouch strengths vary depending on whether the nicotine is made from tobacco or nicotine isolate. And if it is made from nicotine isolate, the two strengths that most consumers enjoy is 3mg nicotine and 7mg nicotine.
