• Wide range from top brands like VELO, ZYN and Nordic Spirit
• Options suitable for both new and experienced users

Nicotine pouches come in a range of strengths to match different preferences.

Top strength options from VELO, ZYN and Nordic Spirit offer a wide range of strengths to choose from.

We stock all major brands offering a wide range of strengths. Use the table to compare brands, strengths and available flavours.

Each pouch is labelled with its nicotine content per pouch. Here's the breakdown:

• Normal: 1.5–6 mg/pouch
• Strong: 6.1–9 mg/pouch
• Extra Strong: 9.1–20 mg/pouch

All products on Northerner follow the Swedish Institute for Standards (SIS/TS 72:2024) guidelines, which set a maximum nicotine content of 20 mg per pouch.

Strength levels are there to help you compare options—not to recommend what’s right for you.

Pouches come in three size options. Each is designed for convenience and comfort.

• Mini – smaller and discreet
• Slim – popular, ergonomic fit
• Regular – larger pouch with a more noticeable fit

Choosing a nicotine pouch strength depends on your own experience and preferences. 

There's no one-size-fits-all, but here’s a general guide:

• 1.5–3 mg/pouch – Often chosen by those new to nicotine pouches or looking for a lower strength option.
• 4–6 mg/pouch – Sits in the middle range. Common among those who’ve used pouches before or want something with more nicotine per pouch.
• 6.1–9 mg/pouch – Considered strong. Often used by more experienced users.
• 9.1–20 mg/pouch – Extra strong. Chosen by users who are familiar with high-strength formats.

Always check the strength per pouch. You might try a few levels before finding what suits you best.

Yes, you can switch between different strengths. 

New users often start with lower strength options like 1.5 mg or 3 mg per pouch before working their way up. 

More experienced users might prefer strong or extra strong options. 

Just remember—nicotine content is listed per pouch, so check the label before choosing.

Most brands use dot markings on their cans to indicate strength levels. 

While the system isn’t standardised across brands, the general rule is: fewer dots mean lower strength, more dots mean higher strength. 

Always check the listed mg/pouch for the most accurate info.

Choose from single cans or multi-packs (3, 5, 10 or 20 packs). Pricing varies by brand and format. Age verification required at checkout.
