If you’re just starting with nicotine pouches, it can be a little daunting. There are new brands to consider, new flavors, and you need to figure out what strength is right for you.
I’ve been using pouches for 12+ months now. My go-to brands are detailed here but I’m always trying new brands and flavours. This month I’ve mostly been rocking VELO’s Strawberry Ice and Cherry Ice — both are great.
This guide is designed to give you an overview of the types of flavors available for nicotine pouches, what to expect from each, and which are the most popular.
Let’s break down the main flavor categories, what they’re all about, and which ones are killing it in 2025.
Main Nicotine Pouch Flavor Categories
1. 🧊 Mint & Menthol
Can’t go wrong with mint. It’s fresh, crisp, and it hits clean.
Peppermint, spearmint, menthol—all staples in the pouch game.
Great for that icy throat hit without feeling like you just sucked on a breath mint from the 90s.
Popular Picks:
ZYN Cool Mint
VELO Bright Spearmint
Pablo Ice Cold
Nordic Spirit Polar Mint
Wintergreen? Think mint with a twist; it’s richer, bolder, and a bit… medicinal. Some love it, some don’t. Worth a try either way.
2. 🍓 Fruity Flavors
Sweet, juicy, and super popular right now. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, start here.
Berries
Blueberry, raspberry, strawberry—all the usual suspects. Usually sweet with a tangy kick.
Top Berry Picks:
ZYN Berry
Nordic Spirit Frosty Berry
VELO Ruby Berry
Nasty Nic Pax Blue Razz
Tropicals & Exotics
Think mango, lychee, watermelon—stuff you’d eat on a beach in July. Some brands go wild with mixes like mango-raspberry or lychee-pineapple.
Fan Favorites:
SNU Triple Mango
VELO Tropical Breeze
Denssi Watermelon Freeze
Citrus
Lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit—these bring that zesty, clean feel. Super refreshing.
Zesty Bangers:
ZYN Citrus
On! Grapefruit Spritz
Klar Citrus
3. 🍭 Sweet, Candy & Dessert Pouches
Remember those bubblegum machines at the grocery store? This is that, but with nicotine.
You’ll find:
Bubblegum
Cola
Vanilla
Banana
Even chocolate (if you’re brave)
Sugar Rush Standouts:
Cuba Ninja Bubblegum
IVG Cola
Elux Banana
4. ☕ Coffee & Drinks
Need your nicotine with a side of espresso vibes?
Coffee-flavored pouches hit different. And drink-inspired ones like cola and even energy drink are popping up more.
Smooth Sips:
On! Coffee
IVG Cola
5. 🔥 Spicy, Herbal & Wild Card Flavors
Cinnamon, licorice, eucalyptus… even spicy fruit mixes like “Tropical Spice” are definitely more niche than mint and wintergreen. But if you like a bit of spice, maybe give them a shot.
Me? I cannot stand these types of flavors. I like wintergreen, spearmint, and VELO’s Strawberry Ice is superb.
Wild Picks:
VELO Cinnamon Flame
On! Tropical Spice
