First Impressions
As soon as I placed the pouch in my mouth, I could instantly taste the orange flavour. These feature a vibrant citrus flavour, and paired with 30mg is a nice, bold nicotine combination.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The Orange flavour peaks at around 10 minutes and continues to be full-bodied until the end of the 30 minutes.
How long does it last for?
The flavour remains pronounced until the end of the 30 minutes, only slightly fading towards the end.
Is the flavour accurate?
You can definitely taste a citrus orange from start to finish. However, this flavour leans more on the sweeter side. If you’re looking for a zesty and slightly tangy orange, these nicotine pouches will not quite match.
Who would like this?
If you like bright citrus flavours, Orange is a great option. With a 30mg nicotine strength and juicy orange, you’ll like these if you’re looking for a strong, dependable experience.

Opening the can, you can smell the menthol scent straight away. The flavour is robust but not overwhelming, delivering soft and icy notes throughout.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
I could taste the mint within the first 2 minutes with the ice following shortly after. Flavour peaks at around the 10 minute mark, but the ice remains consistent throughout.
How long does it last for?
Mint Fresh lasts the full 30 minutes with the mint slightly fading towards the end of use.
Is the flavour accurate?
Yes, it is. If you’re expecting a fresh and cooling flavour, you’ll get just that. Enjoy a simple and clean mint from start to finish.

Cuba’s Mango flavour delivers a mellow and juicy exotic fruit option. I noticed that it favours more of a sweet mango than tangy one so keep that in mind when buying but overall, it's a really enjoyable flavour.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
This one comes through instantly, peaking around 5 minutes into using.
How long does it last for?
Expect the mango flavour to last a nice 30 minutes.
Is the flavour accurate?
These pouches offer an authentic fruit flavour but lacks some of the sharpness of a real mango fruit.

From opening the pack, the aroma suggested a sweet fruit flavour from the get-go. Once I tried the flavour, I came to realise it is a lot more natural than an artificial fruit flavour. This was quite a nice surprise, offering a more authentic feel.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
I could start to really taste the blueberry flavour after about 5 minutes of use, with the flavour really reaching its peak at about 10 minutes in.
How long does it last for?
The flavour doesn’t quite last the full 30 minutes. Even as the nicotine continues to last, the flavour fades after about 20 minutes, becoming a lot more subtle.
Is the flavour accurate?
This blueberry flavour is true to the fruit so if you’re looking for that candy-like flavour, this won’t match up.
Who would like this?
If you’re into fruit flavours but want something that isn’t overpowering, this Blueberry option delivers a good everyday option.

Energy drink flavours can generally be hit or miss but this one does a good job with accuracy and consistency. Sometimes energy drink flavours can be off-putting for users if too overpowering but I found this not to be so while still being thorough and full-bodied.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The fruityness of the flavour comes through almost straight away offering up a sweet, sugary flavour with a slight fizz taste following.

Tropical Fruit is exactly what you’d expect from this. It’s vibrant and bright, offering both a balanced and believable full flavour.

The cola flavour from these nicotine pouches offers a classic soda taste. If you’re a fan of drinks flavours, this one is great in delivering the perfect balance between smooth and fizzy notes.

The cola flavour comes through within the first minute or so and follows through until the end with a slightly icy touch.
How long does it last for?
Flavour lasts for the entirety of the 30 minutes of use but starts to fade slightly becoming much more subtle and a little ‘watered down’ towards the end.

These pouches come in 16mg and 43mg, which is a plus if you want to try a raspberry flavour while having a choice in nicotine strength. Raspberry offers a fresh flavour as you would expect but if you’re looking for something with a lot of depth, these are very subtle.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The raspberry takes a while to come through. I’d say it took about 15 minutes to really taste anything and when it did, the flavour was light.
How long does it last for?
Flavour lasts for a full 30 minutes but remains subtle throughout this time.
Is the flavour accurate?
Yes, from what it tastes like, the raspberry offers notes of refreshing, sharp fruity notes.
Who would like this?
If you’re looking for a fruit flavour that’s not too showy, then this one might work for you. It is available in two different strengths which makes it a good option if you’re looking to increase/decrease your nicotine intake.

Pina Colada offers a lush, tropical mix. A juicy blend of pineapple and coconut instantly hits and lasts for the entirety of the experience. If you’re into complex, fruity flavours this is one to choose.
How long does the flavour take to develop?
The flavour comes through almost instantly with a juicy pineapple hitting just before the creaminess of the coconut follows. Although the coconut is a lot more subtle than the pineapple, they compliment each other well.
How long does it last for?
The pineapple and coconut lasts for the whole 30 minute lifespan with the coconut fading out slightly before the end.
Is the flavour accurate?
The Pina Colada is spot-on with the notes of pineapple and coconut flavours. While the pineapple is zesty and hits the right notes, the coconut is sweet but a lot lighter in flavour.
Who would like this?
This flavour is not your usual fruit flavour, making it a unique and exciting option. Anyone looking for something different from their usual, but still want familiar notes will enjoy this one.

As a lover of confectionary-style things, this flavour is right up my alley. It offers the right amount of sugary candy flavour without being overpowering or off-putting. The choice of two nicotine strengths is also a bonus and the lollipop flavour pairs perfectly with it.

The candy flavour comes in straight away, fully coming to about 10 minutes in.
How long does it last for?
These lollipop pouches last the full 30 minutes, with consistent flavour throughout and only slightly fading towards the end of use.
