KILLA Nicotine Pouches

Start with the flavour you prefer. Standard and Exclusive KILLA pouches in our current range both contain 13.2mg of nicotine per pouch, so the choice is about the flavour selection and pouch format rather than a higher or lower nicotine strength.

The 16.5mg/g figure does not mean a stronger pouch. It means more nicotine per gram of pouch material, and the Exclusive pouch weighs less than the standard one. Based on weight and total nicotine content, both editions work out to 13.2mg per pouch. So if you choose Exclusive, choose it for the flavours and the drier, slimmer pouch.

If this is your first Killa tub, start with Grape Ice if you like fruit, or Cold Mint if you prefer mint. They're our two best sellers. We've tested both and rated them 10 out of 10, and you can see how every flavour scored in our KILLA flavour review.

All 27 Killa nicotine pouches in this collection are classed as Strong (13-19mg) because they contain 13.2mg of nicotine per pouch. There is no lower-strength Killa option in this collection. If you use lower-strength nicotine pouches or are new to them, compare our mild and medium ranges instead.

Two brands can print very different numbers and give you the same nicotine. mg/g is a concentration, mg per pouch is the amount of nicotine in each pouch. When you compare tubs, always check which one you're reading.

Coming from a 6mg ZYN or Nordic Spirit tub, 13.2mg is roughly double. Expect a firmer tingle in the first few minutes. Coming down from a 30mg Pablo, KILLA will feel noticeably softer.

We stock 27 KILLA tubs. They fall into four groups: mint and ice, fruit, drinks, and sweets. Tasting notes below come from our own testing where we've reviewed the flavour. The rest are described from the profile on the tub.

Mint and ice (8 tubs)

Fruit (11 tubs)

Drinks and coffee (6 tubs)

Sweets (2 tubs)

Grape Ice is our top selling KILLA tub and has been for a while. The candy grape comes through the ice clearly, which a lot of fruit pouches struggle with, and the flavour lasts for the full 30 minutes rather than fading halfway through.

Cold Mint sells almost as well and is the one return customers keep buying, because it works all day without getting tiring. Blue Mint is a strong pick for customers who found Cold Mint too gentle.

White Coffee offers something different. It shouldn't work as well as it does, and it brings in customers who don't otherwise buy KILLA at all. Bubblegum provides a moreish candy option that is completely mint and ice free.

Most pouch brands stop at mint and fruit. KILLA offers six flavours built on drinks: two coffees, two colas, a lemonade and an energy drink. That's the widest drinks list of any brand we carry.

They're worth a go if you've worn out mint. White Coffee is the one we'd start with, it goes really well with a morning routine. Cappuccino is the sweeter, lighter version of the same idea.

Cola and Cherry Cola both come and go on stock, so grab them when they're in. Energy is the sweetest of the six by some distance.

KILLA works for you if you already use nicotine pouches, mild and medium tubs have stopped doing much, and you want a wide flavour list at one predictable strength.

It also suits people moving across from a prefilled pod kit who want something they can use indoors without vapour. 13.2mg is a solid step up from most starter pouches, so give yourself a tub to settle into it.

Choose something lighter if you're new to pouches. A 1.5 to 6mg tub from ZYN, Nordic Spirit or VELO is the better first buy, and you can work up from there.

Want more than 13.2mg? Pablo comes from the same producer and goes up to around 30mg per pouch.

Plenty of people search for "KILLA snus". Every KILLA tub sold here is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch. Real snus contains tobacco leaf and can't legally be sold in the UK, so the name has carried over because the format is the same.

What's inside a KILLA pouch is plant fibre, purified nicotine, food-grade flavourings and sweeteners. It goes under your top lip, works without spitting or chewing, and leaves no smell behind.

Take one pouch out and place it under your top lip against the gum. Then leave it alone. No chewing, no shuffling it about. KILLA pouches are moist, so flavour arrives almost immediately and the tingle follows within a minute or two.

Keep it in for 30 to 60 minutes, or take it out sooner if it feels too much. Used pouches go in the compartment built into the lid. Never swallow one.
