A Step-By-Step Guide to Using Nicotine Pouches

Once you've ordered one of our products and opened the can, you might find yourself wondering what to do with these little white pouches. Unlike chewing tobacco, which comes in shreds, nicotine pouches come in individually wrapped packages that are thrown away after each use. Here's how to use ZYN pouches and other brands:

1. Browse our selection and order a product or two. We've got a wide range of flavors in stock, including mint, berry, citrus, coffee, cinnamon and much more. You might want to try a couple of different options so you can experiment with different tastes during the day.
2. Open the can and take out a pouch. Do not open the pouch! The ingredients in the pouch must stay in the plastic wrapping.
3. Roll the pouch between your thumb and forefinger to fluff it up a little.
4. Tuck the pouch underneath your top lip so that it's pressed against your teeth and gums.
5. Let the pouch sit against your gums while it releases the flavor and nicotine. Enjoy the flavor as the pouch satisfies your nicotine cravings.
6. When the flavor and nicotine is gone, take the pouch out of your mouth.

That's it! It's quick and easy, no chewing or spitting required.

What are the Top Three Nicotine Pouches for Beginners in the US?

If you're just getting started, you might be a little bewildered by all the brands and flavors on the market. How can you choose the brand that's right for you?

Since you're a beginner, you'll want to start out with a lower nicotine dose like 2mg or 3mg. If you start off with a high dose, you might experience side effects like headaches and nausea. Once you've become an experienced nicotine pouch user, you'll be able to graduate to the higher levels like 6mg and 8mg if you wish, although, many find it to be unnecessary. The high nicotine-levels are more popular among American ex-smokers who are accustomed to powerful and quick releases of nicotine! As for the flavor, think about what kind of nicotine pouch experience you're looking for. Do you want something cool and refreshing, a fruity summer-inspired treat, or a rich spicy flavor that alerts your senses? We've got it all and much more.

To help you get started on your nicotine journey, we've rounded up this list of the top three brands for beginners in the US. These brands and flavors are popular among Americans for their versatility, fresh taste and high-quality ingredients. Buy one today, or try them all and let us know what you think!

1. VELO Mint 2mg - VELO Pouches is a great option for beginners because they currently offer only two flavors: mint and citrus. Instead of debating with yourself over a dozen different flavors, you can choose from cooling mint or sharp, refreshing citrus. We recommend the mint flavor because it's perfect for any time of day. And with a low dosage of 2mg, you can try out nicotine pouches without getting overwhelmed by any negative side effects. Once you've adjusted to the 2mg variety, VELO offers 4mg products with twice as much nicotine.
2. On! Citrus 2mg - Who doesn't love citrus? It's the perfect summer flavor. And with only 2mg of nicotine, you can enjoy the refreshing taste of citrus without experiencing headaches or dizziness. These pouches are small and discreet, so you can tuck one inside your upper lip and enjoy the flavors all day long. Once you've gotten used to the 2mg variety, you can advance to the 4mg products and even jump to 8mg if you're feeling adventurous. on! is one of our favorite brands because they offer different levels of nicotine for beginners, intermediates, elland advanced nicotine users.
3. ZYN Coffee 3mg - Yup, you can buy nicotine pouches that taste like coffee. And the ZYN brand replicates the rich coffee flavor so perfectly that you'll feel like you're sitting in a bookstore and drinking a rich, frothing latte. 3mg is their lowest level of nicotine, so you can try out this brand if you're experiencing intense cravings but not quite ready for the 4mg products. Once you've mastered the 3mg pouches, try the ZYN 6m products. ZYN is also popular with former tobacco users because the pouches come in a round can just like chewing tobacco. If you're trying to kick the habit, ZYN is a great way to fool your mind into thinking you're about to use traditional tobacco.
