The Strength Chart: Every Brand We Stock, 3 mg to 30 mg, on One Page

Every week someone asks whether a 12 mg White Fox is stronger than an 11 mg ZYN, or how a 14 mg VELO compares with a 13.5 mg ZYN, and it's easiest to answer with a table. Below is every nicotine strength we stock right now, per pouch, by brand and format, with the collection page each can is on. Our strength guide covers what the numbers feel like. This page is just the numbers with a few notes, as of October 2026. For the live version, which is built from our current stock and updated every day, bookmark the strength chart page.

How to read a strength

The milligrams on every can we sell mean nicotine per pouch, not per can. A 6 mg pouch has 6 mg in it whether it's a ZYN Mini or a VELO slim. What changes between brands is pouch size, moisture and how fast the pouch releases, so two cans with the same number can feel a step apart. Use the chart as a rough guide rather than an exact measure. Move up one step at a time, and don't change flavor and strength together (our post on rotating flavors explains why).

The chart

Some cans were between shipments when this went up, so they aren't in the table: every 1.5 mg ZYN Mini, Cool Mint Slim 6, Spearmint Slim 11, Apple Mint Slim 9, Peach Mini 6, Black Cherry Mini 3, Black Cherry Slim, Citrus Slim, Red Berry Fizz, Menthol Ice at 13.5 and the whole Iceberg line. Our collection pages update automatically, but this table doesn't.

What the strength labels mean

The store sorts cans into four tiers, and each tier is just a range: Mild is 3 mg and under, Medium is 6 to 9, Strong is 10 to 14 and Extra Strong is 16 and up. Brands use their own words on the can. VELO calls its 8 mg an everyday strong, and Pablo calls everything extra strong, which it is. So go by the number, not the label. Standard on a strength menu means the can only comes in one strength.

The two gaps

Two gaps stand out in the table. There's nothing between 17 and 24, so if VELO's strongest isn't enough, the next step is Pablo Ice Cold, and that's a big jump. There's also nothing under 3 right now, because the 1.5 mg minis are out. When they're restocked, the lightest options are back too (our post on the lowest-nicotine pouches covers them). Everywhere else, the steps are small enough to move up gradually.

Stepping up within a brand

• ZYN: Cool Mint Mini at 3 and 6, then Cool Mint Slim at 9 and 11. That's the same flavor from the lightest can to the top of the everyday range.
• VELO: Polar Mint at 8 and 14, and Freezing Peppermint at 10, 14 and 17. Our VELO strength guide explains the dots on the cans.
• White Fox: 12 across the line and 16 for Full Charge, so there's only one choice to make.
• Pablo: 24 or 30. Those are two big steps rather than a gradual climb, and they're for experienced users only.

Quick answers

What is the strongest nicotine pouch you sell?

Pablo Exclusive, at 30 mg per pouch in fifteen flavors, followed by Pablo Ice Cold at 24. The strongest ZYN is Menthol Ice at 16.5, the strongest VELO is Freezing Peppermint at 17, and the strongest White Fox is Full Charge at 16.

What is the lightest nicotine pouch you sell?

The ZYN Minis at 3 mg per pouch: Cool Mint, Spearmint, Apple Mint, Citrus, Coffee and Peach. The 1.5 mg versions come back when they're restocked.

Is 11 mg ZYN stronger than 12 mg White Fox?

No. By the numbers, 12 is more nicotine per pouch than 11. In practice they feel close, because the White Fox pouch is dry and slower and the ZYN Slim is a different size, so treat them as the same strength and decide after a pouch or two.

What do Mild, Medium, Strong and Extra Strong mean?

In our store, Mild is 3 mg and under, Medium is 6 to 9, Strong is 10 to 14 and Extra Strong is 16 mg and up, per pouch.
