How to use nicotine pouches

Want to learn how to use nicotine pouches correctly? Great! After reading this post, you’ll know how to toss them under your upper lip like a pro. Whether that’s a VELO, On!, or ACE nicotine pouch, this guide has you covered.

What are nicotine pouches?

Let’s start at the beginning – so you know the ins and outs of the products you’re using. So, what are nicotine pouches? First released in the early 2000s, they’re:

• A way to relish nicotine 100% free from tobacco, vapor, and smoke
• They contain nicotine, plant fibers, flavorings, sweeteners, and water
• They come in many flavors, strengths, and sizes to suit your preferences and needs
• The portions sit comfortably between your upper lip and gum
• There are many brands and products to choose from

Given the aforementioned reasons, it’s easy to see why smokers, vapers, and snusers have switched to using nicotine pouches. That’s one reason nicotine portions are so popular. Another would be that they are smokeless, giving you freedom to use them wherever you wish. All in all, these products are valued for their ability to provide a much “cleaner” experience, which is better suited to modern-day use.

How to use Nicotine Pouches: Step-by-step guide

Adding to the list of reasons for the success of the modern oral sector is ease of use. Discover how simple it is to learn how to use ZYN and other brands by checking out our step-by-step guide, below:

1. Open the container
2. Pick out one pouch. ‘Fluff’ it by rolling it between your thumb and index finger. This disperses the contents, allowing a more comfortable experience.
3. Then, place it under your upper lip. Put the pouch on your gum and not your teeth.
4. Now enjoy the nicotine and flavor release. The experience usually lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the format. The dryer the pouch, the longer it will last.

Once it's finished, you can discard the portion in the bin. If there isn’t a bin close, the catch lid in the can can be used.

Do You Use All Nicotine Pouches In The Same Way?

The guide above applies to all brands. Many users ask, “How to use On! nicotine pouches?” or “VELO, how to use them?” when all nicotine pouches are used in the same way.

No matter the brand, the way you use nicotine pouches is the same.

How Long Do Nicotine Pouches Last?

The answer to this question isn’t as straightforward as you may think. The length of the experience depends on the moisture level of your nicotine pouch.

The wetter the contents, the shorter the experience.

Why? The nicotine and flavor are carried from the pouch in your saliva, but the entire portion needs to be wet before you can reap the benefits. Hence, the drier they are, the longer they last because it takes longer to extract the nicotine and flavor in the first place. With that said, as a vague guideline, they last around 30-45 minutes.

Can You Reuse The Same Nicotine Pouch?

You can reuse your nicotine pouches, but you shouldn’t. Why? You may ask. You may think that reusing the product will save you money. But it’s not worth it. By reusing them, you encounter problems.

Poor Hygiene - Your catch lid provides the perfect growth environment for germs, which is warm and moist.

Underwhelming experience - Most of the nicotine and flavor are extracted from the portion after the first use, providing very little for use afterward.

If you’re using too many during your day, it can get expensive. In turn, use a more affordable and strong nicotine pouch, ensuring your can lasts a little longer.

Is It Safe To Swallow Nicotine Pouches?

You may think this is a foolish question, but they taste so good that swallowing nicotine pouches may even cross your mind! Even though nicotine pouches are made from plant-based materials and can be ingested in small amounts, you should not repeatedly do so as you may experience minor side effects. Such side effects include:

• Heartburn
• Upset Stomach
• Nausea

All brands of nicotine pouches contain the same ingredients, so this rule applies to every product on the market. So, if you are like many and wonder, “Can I swallow ZYN?” you know not to.
