How Many Nicotine Pouches Are There in a Can?

If you've ever wondered how many pouches come in a can of nicotine pouches, you're not alone! Whether you're new to nicotine pouches or a longtime user, knowing the pouch count is a factor that will help you decide on the perfect can–or cans–for your needs. 

In this guide, we lift the lid to find out what’s inside and which brands offer the best value on Nicokick.

No matter which flavor or strength you choose, you can expect 15 pouches in every ZYN container.

While this is slightly less than other brands who typically offer 20 pouches, ZYN remains a favorite for many nicotine pouch consumers—known for their pouch quality over quantity.

If you go through 15 pouches relatively quickly and want to stock up on ZYN, Nicokick offers the popular pouch in bulk packs of 5-, 10-, 25- or 50-cans at a time. This makes it easier to keep your supply fresh and lock in the lowest price per can at checkout. 

To calculate how many ZYNs are in one of these packs, simply multiply the number of cans by 15. So, in this case, the most ZYN pouches you can order at once is 750 (that’s 50 cans x 15 pouches).*

*Please keep in mind that ZYN is currently unable to be ordered online due to production delays and unprecedented demand across the US. Signing up to our newsletter is the best way to stay informed when they’re back in stock.

Every brand does things a little differently, so here's a handy chart to help you compare the number of pouches per can, available pouch sizes and pouch weight before your next purchase.

For many, it’s not just about how many pouches you get—pouch size and can design also make a difference to your experience.

Nicotine pouches come in different sizes, each offering a slightly different feel:

• Mini – A compact pouch that tucks easily under your lip for a low-profile fit.

• Slim – The most common format, striking a balance between discretion and comfort.

• Large – Slightly wider and longer, great for those who prefer a more “full” feel.

The can itself also plays a role in convenience. Most brands use round cans that slip easily into a pocket or bag, but there are some key differences:

• Standard Circular Cans – Found with brands like VELO, ZYN, and Lucy, these are widely used and easy to store.

• Sleek Rectangular Cans – Brands like On! shake things up with their slim, rectangular design. Both styles are equally practical.

Some cans also come with built-in waste compartments for used pouches—perfect for when you’re on the move. VELO Plus takes this up a notch with a hinged lid, keeping things even more secure. 

A can of ZYN typically contains 15 or 20 pouches, but the ideal number of pouches you should use daily depends on several factors, including your nicotine tolerance, lifestyle, and the strength of the pouches you're using.

Most ZYN users report consuming anywhere between 6 and 12 pouches per day. However, this number varies significantly based on:

• Nicotine Strength – 3mg vs. 6mg pouches make a big difference in how much nicotine you're consuming per pouch.

• Nicotine Tolerance – If you’re new to nicotine or using ZYN to quit smoking/vaping, your tolerance level will influence how many pouches you need.

• Daily Routine & Activities – Someone using pouches throughout the workday may consume fewer than someone who frequently craves nicotine in social settings or during high-stress moments.

• Body Factors – Age, weight, metabolism, and general sensitivity to nicotine can impact how much you should use.

When it comes to nicotine pouches, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Most brands—like Rogue and On!—offer 20 pouches per can while others—like ZYN and Lucy—have 15. VELO offers both, with 20 pouches in a can and 15 in a tin, so it’s up to you to choose what works best.

While price per can matters, the number of pouches inside directly impacts overall value. Comparing cost per pouch gives a clearer picture—sometimes, a pricier can with more pouches offers better long-term savings.

If you're budget-conscious, consider how many pouches you use daily and how often you'll need to restock.

At the end of the day, it’s about finding what fits your lifestyle. Whether you're sticking with your go-to brand or exploring new options, Nicokick is here to help.
