How To Use Nicotine Pouches
Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are convenient and easy to use, especially when you are on the go. But where do you start? Read on for our expert guide on how to properly use nicotine pouches and the basics of nicotine pouches.
How to Use Nicotine Pouches: The Basics
Where should I put my nicotine pouch? How do I start using nicotine pouches? There are 4 simple steps to follow when using nicotine pouches. (If you need more information on “what are nicotine pouches”, you can read our other Nicokick guides!)
1. OPEN THE NICOTINE CAN
Nicotine pouch containers differ slightly depending on which brand you purchase. With most cans you simply lift the lid to open, but some are designed with a certified child safety lid. To open these cans, break the perforation along the side label, twist the lid to align the top and bottom arrows and lift.
2. TAKE A POUCH AND PARK IT
Take a pouch out of the can and place it between your gum and lip.
3. ENJOY YOUR WAY
You will taste the flavor as it is released with the nicotine. Keep your pouch in for as long as suggested on the can.
4. REMOVE AND THROW AWAY THE NICOTINE POUCH
Take out the pouch and throw it away (responsibly). You can either throw it straight in the trash or in the storage compartment in the lid if the can has that option - just do not throw them on the ground!
How to Open Nicotine Cans
One of the trickiest parts of using nicotine pouches is working out how to open the nicotine cans. Each brand has different can designs, but how do you open the most popular brands’ cans?
How to Open ZYN
ZYN cans are round in shape, and come with a child-proof seal. To open a can of ZYNs, you should run your nail around the middle of the can to break the perforation along the side label, then twist the lid to align the top and bottom arrows and lift to access your ZYNs. But you can learn more about how use ZYNs in our other ZYN guides.
How to Open On!
On! cans are unique, with a rectangular design. To open a can of On! pouches, you need to find the bottom edge of the can (it should say “open here”), then push that up. The front panel of the can will open and you can access your On! nicotine pouches.
How to Open Rogue
Just like ZYN and VELO, these cans are round. To open the nicotine can, just break the seal around the middle, and gently squeeze the bottom half of the can as you lift the lid.
How to Open VELO
Opening VELO cans follow the same steps you follow when opening a Rogue or ZYN can. Break the seal around the middle of the can and gently squeeze the bottom half of the can as you lift the lid.
Expert Tips for Using Nicotine Pouches
Ready to take your nicotine pouch experience to the next level? Our experts at Nicokick answer some of the commonly asked questions about how to use nicotine pouches properly for the best experience.
Where to Place Nicotine Pouches
Nicotine pouches should always be used orally, and are best parked between the upper lip and gum (the most popular choice) or sometimes between the lower lip and gum as nicotine is absorbed via the lining of the mouth (also known as the mucus membrane).
How Long Do You Keep a Nicotine Pouch In?
How long you keep a pouch in and how long nicotine pouches last depends on several factors, including your nicotine tolerance and the brand of nicotine pouch. However, usually nicotine pouches should be kept in for a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes.
Can You Chew Nicotine Pouches?
It is recommended that you don’t chew nicotine pouches. While some brands and users suggest doing this to release more flavor, there is a risk of tearing the pouch. If you are wanting to revive the flavour, you can always try moving the pouch to a new position instead.
