Start at 6mg if this is your first tub of nicotine pouches. If you already use pouches, match the mg per pouch number you use now, which for most people means the 12mg tubs. Only go to 20mg if you already buy extra strong pouches. Our nicotine strength guide covers this in more detail.

SYX Buying Guides
SYX showcases a wide range of nicotine pouches, from a mild 6mg up to an extra strong 20mg, and its popular flavours come in every strength. These short guides compare all 11 options we stock, so you can choose the right one first time.
Which SYX Strength Should You Choose?
If this is your first time tyring nicotine pouches, start at a low 6mg strength. Even if you vape 20mg of nic salts, you need to get used to absorbing nicotine through your gums, and a mild option is recommended for this. If you already use pouches from another brand, match the mg per pouch number you use now, which for most people means 12mg. The 20mg tubs are for experienced users who already buy extra strong.
| Strength | Band | How it feels | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6mg per pouch | Mild | A light tingle and a gentle, steady release | Newcomers, or anyone who found stronger brands too much |
| 12mg per pouch | Medium | A firm hit inside a couple of minutes, comfortable to use through the day | Regular pouch users. Most of the SYX range is at this strength |
| 20mg per pouch | X-Strong | A sharp tingle up front and a strong hit that keeps going | Experienced users who already use extra strong pouches |
We list every SYX tub in mg per pouch, so a 12mg tub gives you 12mg of nicotine in each pouch. That sounds obvious, but some pouch brands label in mg per gram instead (mg/g), which makes the number on the tub look bigger than the actual dose. Keep that in mind if you're comparing SYX with a brand like Pablo.
The most useful thing about SYX is the strength ladder. Freeze, Peppermint and Wild Cherry come in all 3 strengths, so you can move up or down without giving up the flavour you've settled on. With most brands, changing strength means changing flavour too.
Compare SYX Flavours
We stock 21 SYX products in 11 flavours, and they fall into 3 main profiles: mints, fruits, and sweeter options.
Mint is the biggest group. Freeze is the coldest in the range, a strong menthol chill that lasts. Peppermint is a clean, all-day classic, with Peppermint Rush as its punchier 12mg cousin. Spearmint is the sweeter, softer mint, and Apple Mint layers crisp green apple over a cool finish.
Fruit comes next. Wild Cherry is a sweet dark cherry and the flavour most people try first after the mints. Blueberry keeps it sweet and simple, Tropical mixes pineapple and mango, and Banana Ice pairs ripe banana with a cool finish.
Then the sugary flavours. Icy Cola tastes like a cold glass of cola with a menthol edge, and Salty Caramel is the only dessert option, sweet caramel with a pinch of salt.
The Most Popular SYX Flavours
Freeze is one of our best sellers, and the 12mg version is the most popular in the range. Peppermint follows close behind. Having the full 6mg to 20mg selection makes both easy flavours to stick with long term.
Wild Cherry is the top fruit flavour, popular enough that all 3 strengths regularly sell through. And Salty Caramel has a small but loyal following. The people who like it tend to order nothing else.
What SYX Pouches Feel Like to Use
Every SYX pouch is slim format: narrow, flat and light enough that it barely shows once it's in place. The pouch feels soft against the gum and keeps its shape to the end, which is what makes it comfortable to wear for a full session.
Flavour comes through in the first minute, with the nicotine building over the first 5. At 6mg the tingle is mild and fades quickly. At 20mg expect it to nip for the first few minutes before it settles.
Most people keep a pouch in for 20 to 40 minutes. Flavour holds well for around half an hour, and each tub carries 20 pouches plus a lid compartment for used ones.
SYX Snus or SYX Nicotine Pouches?
Lots of people search for "SYX snus", but SYX is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch. Real snus contains tobacco leaf and can't legally be sold in the UK. SYX gives you the same under-the-lip format with nicotine and flavourings instead, which is why the snus name stuck.
If you've used snus abroad and want something familiar here, the 20mg SYX tubs are the closest match for strength.
Is SYX the Right Brand for You?
SYX suits you if you want a good range of flavours that you can use at more than one strength, and a range that covers mild through to extra strong. It's one of the few brands we stock that works both as a first pick and as a 20mg regular order.
If 20mg still isn't enough, Pablo and KILLA go up to around 30mg per pouch. And if you want a longer mild and medium flavour list, ZYN and Nordic Spirit are the ones to browse.
How to Use SYX Nicotine Pouches
Take a pouch from the tub and place it under your top lip, against the gum. Leave it there. No chewing, no moving it around. The tingle in the first few minutes is the nicotine coming through, gentle at 6mg and firmer at 20mg.
Keep it in for 20 to 40 minutes, or take it out sooner if it feels too strong. Used pouches go in the compartment in the tub lid. Never swallow a pouch.
Open the Tub:
Remove one pouch.
Place Under Your Top Lip:
Against the gum, then leave it alone.
Expect a Tingle:
Gentle at 6mg, firmer at 20mg. It settles after a few minutes.
20 to 40 Minutes:
Then bin it in the lid compartment.

FAQs about SYX Nicotine Pouches
Which SYX strength should I choose?
How long does a SYX pouch last?

Are SYX nicotine pouches tobacco-free?
Yes. SYX pouches are all-white and completely tobacco-free. Each pouch contains nicotine, plant-based fibres, flavourings and moisture-retaining ingredients. There's no tobacco leaf, dust or stem in any SYX product.
Which SYX flavours are the most popular?
Freeze and Peppermint are the biggest sellers at Alternix, with the 12mg versions of each the most ordered tubs in the range. Wild Cherry is the most popular fruit flavour, and Salty Caramel has a loyal following among customers who prefer sweet profiles.
Who makes SYX nicotine pouches?
SYX is made by Consumer Brands International (CBI), a manufacturer based in the Czech Republic that also produces the GOAT and Snatch pouch brands. CBI was set up in 2019 and builds its pouches on Scandinavian production methods.
Is SYX snus the same as SYX nicotine pouches?
They're the same product, just named differently. SYX is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch, but many people call it snus because it's used the same way. Real snus contains tobacco and can't legally be sold in the UK. Every SYX tub sold here is tobacco-free.
How much do SYX nicotine pouches cost in the UK?
A single tub of 20 pouches costs £3.95 at Alternix. Buy any 3 tubs for £10 and the price drops to £3.33 per tub, with bigger multi-buys taking it as low as £3.00. You can mix flavours and strengths within the deal, and orders over £15 get free next-day UK delivery.
Are SYX pouches suitable for beginners?
Yes, at the right strength. The 6mg tubs are in the mild band, which makes SYX one of the few brands where you can start as a beginner and move up within the same flavour later. Begin with 6mg Freeze, Peppermint or Wild Cherry, and see our best pouches for beginners page for more starting points.
Can I take SYX pouches on a plane?
Yes. SYX pouches are smokeless and discreet, so you can carry and use them at the airport and on board most flights. Check your airline's policy and the rules at your destination before you travel. Our flying with nicotine pouches guide covers the detail.
Do you offer next day delivery on SYX pouches?
Yes. Orders over £15 get free next-day UK delivery, and orders placed before 10pm are dispatched the same day, 7 days a week. All orders ship from our UK warehouse in child-resistant packaging as required under UK regulations.
