Round 4: Strength Showdown 

Finding your preferred strength is key to enjoying your experience. On! offers more choice with 2mg, 4mg, and 8mg for those who want to fine-tune their nicotine consumption – whereas ZYN has a more streamlined selection with 3mg and 6mg options. We always recommend going for a lower number of milligrams per pouch and only adding more if needed when figuring out the right level of intensity for you.

Round 5: Price Check

Now for the final factor: Price. We all know this can vary depending on where you’re buying from, and promotions will often come into play. On!'s slightly larger cans (containing 5 extra individual portions) could seem more economical, while ZYN often has attractive deals on their 15 pouch-cans. Ultimately, your wallet's the judge on this one!
