Starker Snus

What “strong” means for us

The filter shows three levels: mild, strong and extra strong. Strong is in the middle—more potent than mild, but far from the extreme levels. For most people, this is the level they settle on when mild varieties don't provide enough.

One important point: Two cans with the same mg/g value can feel completely different. Moist tobacco often takes effect faster than dry tobacco, while with All White, the flavor comes through more clearly. So always look at the type and format as well, not just the number.

If you want to compare the brands directly, this overview will help: Nicotine content comparison.

This is how to find your way around 145 varieties

At the top of the page, filter by what matters to you:

• Type: All White, White Dry or Original Portion
• Flavor: Mint, Menthol, Berry, Tropical or Citrus
• Brand: VELO, edel, White Fox, Skruf or XQS

Flavor and nicotine have nothing to do with each other. A strong mint and a strong berry can have the same mg range – only the flavor is different. So choose the flavor you like first, then adjust the strength.

mg/g, mg per pouch and the scale on the can

Three figures keep appearing. Briefly and without the jargon:

• mg/g – nicotine per gram of contents. Useful for comparing brands.
• mg per pouch – the amount in the one pouch you insert. Closer to what you actually feel.
• Scale from 1/5 to 5/5 – the manufacturer's rough assessment, not a substitute for the milligram measurement.

Our tip: try one pouch rather than two right away. Two pouches double the dose faster than you might think. To compare, here are two varieties from this category: VELO Crispy Peppermint is at the lower end with 14 mg/g, while edel COLD is at the upper end with 20 mg/g.

A few varieties with specified values

Pay attention to the unit: mg/g lets you compare the varieties with one another, while mg per pouch shows the amount you actually insert.

With VELO Icy Berries X-Strong, the value is given as mg per pouch. This is the amount actually contained in the pouch and cannot be compared directly with a mg/g value.

Too strong or too mild?

• Too strong? Step down to weak snus (often 8–14 mg/g) or choose a smaller format.
• Too mild? Stay within the strong varieties at first and move toward 20 mg/g. Only then consider stepping up to extra strong—and never blindly choose the highest number.

If you feel nauseous, your heart is racing, or you feel dizzy, remove the pouch immediately.
