Step 1: Start Low

If you’re new to nicotine pouches, begin with 3 mg. This keeps your experience light, letting you gauge tolerance and comfort without overdoing it.

Step 2: Test for a Week

Use each strength across several sessions. Track how long the effect lasts, any side effects, and whether flavor feels too weak or too sharp.

Step 3: Adjust Gradually

• Step up to 6 mg if 3 mg feels too mild.
• Try 9–12 mg only after your body adapts.
• Take rest days to reset your nicotine tolerance.

Step 4: Consider Format & Flavor

Different formats and flavors can feel stronger at the same mg. Slim pouches release nicotine faster, while mint and menthol flavors tend to feel cooler and more intense than fruity ones.

Step 5: Shop by Filters

Bonus: How to Know When It’s Time to Step Up

Common signs you may need a stronger pouch include reduced satisfaction, shorter duration, or needing to use more cans per day. If this happens, move up one level and reassess after a week.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Jumping too fast: Don’t skip straight from 3 mg to 12 mg.
• Ignoring flavor impact: Some flavors can amplify perceived strength.
• Overuse: Take breaks to maintain sensitivity and avoid dependence.
