How to Use Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches

• Nordic Spirit pouches sit under your upper lip — not on the tongue, not chewed.
• Leave the pouch in place for up to 60 minutes; most users find 20–40 minutes suits them.
• A mild tingling sensation in the first few minutes is normal.
• You do not need to spit — it is fine to swallow saliva as normal during use.
• Nordic Spirit uses a dot system for strength: 2 dot (Low to Normal), 3 dot (Strong), 4 dot (X-Strong), 6 dot (Max).
• If you are new to nicotine pouches, start with a lower dot and shorter sessions before adjusting.

Nordic Spirit pouches can be kept in place for up to 60 minutes, but most users settle on a comfortable duration of 20–40 minutes. There is no requirement to use the pouch for the full duration — remove it when the flavour or sensation has faded to a level you are comfortable with.

A few things that can influence session length:

• Strength: Higher-strength variants (X-Strong, Max) may feel more pronounced earlier in the session, which some users find means they are comfortable removing the pouch sooner.
• Flavour type: Mint and cooling variants tend to have a longer-lasting flavour presence than fruit or botanical options.
• Format: Nordic Spirit is primarily available in slim format, with a Mini option in a small range of flavours — Mini pouches may feel less noticeable under the lip and suit a shorter session.

Nordic Spirit uses a dot system: 2 dot (Low to Normal, 3–5.6mg), 3 dot (Strong, 8.3mg), 4 dot (X-Strong, 10mg), and 6 dot (Max, 17mg). If you are an adult nicotine user that is newer to nicotine pouches, starting at 2 dot and working up is a more measured approach than starting at 3 dot or above.

Most users find placing the pouch slightly to one side of centre more comfortable than directly in the middle. If one position becomes uncomfortable mid-session, you can gently shift the pouch to a slightly different spot.

Nordic Spirit pouches release nicotine and flavour through gradual passive absorption. Chewing or sucking the pouch will cause the flavour to release too quickly, make the experience less consistent, and reduce the session time - it may also break the pouch. If the pouch breaks, remove it immediately.

A dry mouth can make the tingling sensation feel more pronounced. Drinking water before a session can help. Avoid eating or drinking while the pouch is in place.

Keep the lid closed when not in use, and properly store snus cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Cooling mint variants can feel more pronounced than fruit or botanical options at the same strength, due to the cooling compounds mint flavours contain. If you find your current Nordic Spirit flavour too much, Tropical or Forest Berries tend to offer a different character.

Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches are intended for adult nicotine users only. When using any Nordic Spirit product:

• Follow the usage instructions included with the product.
• Keep cans out of reach of children and pets at all times.
• Do not swallow the pouch.
• Do not use more than one pouch at a time.
• Store cans in a cool, dry place.
• Dispose of used pouches responsibly in a bin or the can lid compartment.
• Remove the pouch and stop using pouches if you experience persistent discomfort.

Nicotine is an addictive substance. If you have any concerns about nicotine use or experience an adverse reaction, consult a healthcare professional.

Nordic Spirit is one of the most straightforward nicotine pouches to use — place a pouch under your upper lip, leave it in place, and dispose of it responsibly. For users newer to the format, starting with a 2-dot Regular and shorter sessions is the most practical approach before exploring Strong to Ultra Strong nicotine strengths.
