How to Use Nordic Spirit Nicotine Pouches

Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches are simple to use once you know how, but there are a few things worth knowing before your first can: how to open it, where the pouch goes, how long to keep it in and what to do with it afterwards. This guide covers all of it. You can find every flavour and strength on our Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches page.

How to open a Nordic Spirit can

1. Peel off the seal around a new can.
2. Lift the lid. The main compartment holds the fresh pouches.
3. The compartment in the top of the lid is for used pouches, so you can keep them there until you find a bin.

How to use a Nordic Spirit pouch, step by step

1. Pick your strength. If you are new to nicotine pouches, start with Regular 6mg. Our Nordic Spirit flavours and strengths guide explains the dots and every strength.
2. Take out one pouch. Use one pouch at a time.
3. Place it under your lip. Most people put it under the upper lip, slightly to one side, and press it flat against the gum. Do not put it on your tongue.
4. Leave it there. Do not chew or suck the pouch. The nicotine and flavour release on their own.
5. Expect a tingle. A slight tingling of the gum in the first few minutes is normal and usually settles. If it becomes uncomfortable, take the pouch out.
6. Take it out when you are ready. See the timings below, then put the used pouch in the lid compartment or a bin.

How long should you keep a Nordic Spirit pouch in?

• Your first few pouches: start with around 10 to 15 minutes.
• Once you are used to them: around 20 to 30 minutes is typical.
• Maximum: Nordic Spirit says to remove a pouch after an hour at most.

Moist and Dry pouches behave differently. Moist pouches release flavour and nicotine almost straight away and typically last 25 to 35 minutes. Dry pouches (Mint, Spearmint and Watermelon) release more slowly, take a few minutes for the flavour to build and usually last a little longer.

Tips for your first Nordic Spirit pouch

• Start low. Regular 6mg is the lightest Standard Nordic Spirit strength. You can move up to Strong 9mg later.
• Compare mg, not dots. If you already use another brand, match the mg per pouch figure, because each brand uses its own dot scale.
• Keep it still. Moving the pouch around releases nicotine faster than you might expect.
• No need to spit. You can swallow your saliva as normal.
• Try a few flavours. Spearmint and Frosty Mint are popular mint choices, and Frosty Berry and Tropical Mix are good fruit options. See the full flavour list.

How to dispose of used pouches and cans

Put used pouches in general waste, not recycling, and never flush them. If there is no bin nearby, keep them in the compartment in the lid. The newer Nordic Spirit cans are made from polypropylene, which many councils recycle: take any used pouches out first and check what your local council collects.

How to store Nordic Spirit pouches

Keep the lid closed so the pouches do not dry out, store cans somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight, and keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Common questions

Upper lip or lower lip?

Either works. Most people use the upper lip because it is comfortable and discreet, but Nordic Spirit says you can use the upper or lower lip.

Is Nordic Spirit snus?

People often call it snus, but snus contains tobacco. Nordic Spirit pouches are tobacco free nicotine pouches, made with nicotine extract, plant based fibres and flavourings.

How many pouches are in a can?

Every Standard Nordic Spirit can that Pouchline stocks holds 20 pouches.
