Mint is the most widely available flavour category in the XQS portfolio, spanning spearmint, peppermint, menthol, and cooling ice profiles across Normal to Extra Strong strength tiers. The XQS mint range has expanded significantly with recent additions including The Spearmint (6mg), The Peppermint (10mg), and The Menthol (11mg and 17mg).

XQS fruit flavours cover a broad range of flavour blends — from the tart citrus character of Cactus Sour to the berry-meets-mint of Blueberry Mint. Fruit flavours at Normal strength (4mg) make up a significant portion of the Nicotine Free to Normal strength end of the XQS range, particularly for users who prefer to start with something fruit-forward before exploring cooling or Strong to Extra Strong strength mint options.

• XQS Cactus Sour — cactus, citrus, and a tart finish. Distinct from a standard citrus pouch.
• XQS Orange Apple — orange and apple blend; a popular option out of the XQS profiles at a Normal nicotine strength (4mg).
• XQS Black Cherry — cherry and berry; a fruit profile with a noticeable sweetness and tart element from the cherry flavour.
• XQS Fizzy Peach — peach with a light fizzy quality; popular with pouch users who prefer stone fruit over citrus or berry.
• XQS Cola Lime — cola and lime flavour combination; sits in the drinks-inspired category with the added uniqueness of the citrus lime flavour.

XQS Tropical is the most purchased single flavour in the XQS range on Northerner UK — a multi-fruit tropical profile available at both Normal (4mg) and Strong (8mg). Its availability across multiple strength tiers makes it one of the most versatile flavours in the XQS catalogue.

• XQS Tropical — the brand's most purchased flavour on Northerner UK; a balanced tropical fruit profile available in a Normal and Strong nicotine strength option.

XQS offers a selection of nicotine-free (0mg) caffeine snus variants for users who want the XQS flavour experience without any nicotine. The 0% range covers some of the brand's most popular profiles:

• XQS Tropical 0mg (50mg caffeine)
• XQS Blueberry Mint 0mg  (50mg caffeine)
• XQS Black Cherry 0mg  (50mg caffeine)
• XQS Citrus Cooling 0mg  (50mg caffeine)

These sit in the same slim format as the rest of the XQS range, with the same flavour character as their nicotine-containing counterparts. They are designed for adult users who prefer a tobacco-free, nicotine-free caffeine pouch experience. You can buy snus online, including caffeine snus, on Northerner UK.

Some XQS flavours share profiles commonly found in vape products — particularly fruit-ice, menthol, and tropical combinations. If you are a vape user looking at nicotine pouches and are looking for flavour profiles similar to those in vaping products, these matches may help narrow down your options.
