Short answer: Arctic Mint is the 4NX flavour we rank first, with Icy Mint just behind it. If it is your first 4NX can, start on Watermelon Ice instead — it is the gentlest dose in this shortlist.
None of the 7 4NX cans we list prints a dose on the tin, across 7 distinct flavours and 7 cans. It is a mint house: 100% of the range is mint, menthol or ice, so choosing here is a question of how cold you want it rather than which fruit you fancy. The tastes on offer are Ice Cold, Mint, Energy Drink, Fruity, Raspberry and Watermelon.
The 4NX range at a glance
The 7 that made this page are Arctic Mint, Icy Mint, Mint, Blue Raspberry Ice, Energy Ice, Tropical Ice and Watermelon Ice. That is every flavour 4NX makes that we carry — the 4NX brand page lists all 7 cans.
If this is not the range for you, the places to look next are the full 4NX range, every nicotine pouch we carry and the ten best flavours across every brand.
A can holds 20 pouches at CA$14.00, which is 70 cents a pouch, which is the category standard.
For scale: we publish pages for 70 brands and 1,075 pouch cans, in stock or not, and 4NX is the 34th widest range of them by number of distinct flavours.

The 7 best 4NX flavours, ranked
Each card carries the can we would actually send you, our own photograph of it, and the dose and format as the tin states them. None of the 4NX cans has been through our tasting bench yet, so there are no taste scores on this page — we would rather show nothing than a guess.

How these are scored. Out of five, computed rather than felt. A flavour starts at 2.0 and earns up to 1.0 for how many cans 4NX presses of it, up to 0.5 for how far it spreads across formats and strengths, up to 0.5 for how common that taste is across the 1,075 cans we list from every brand, up to 0.75 for outside consensus, and 0.25 if we can ship it today. Nothing reaches five on catalogue shape alone — a flavour with no outside evidence tops out at 4.25. Sales are deliberately not an input: there are not enough of them yet to make one honest, and a popularity figure with nothing behind it is worse than none.
Choosing between them
Because almost everything 4NX makes is a cold flavour, the real decision is temperature and dose rather than taste family. The shortcuts below sort the shortlist by the question people actually arrive with.
- You just want the best one. Arctic Mint, at 3.5 out of 5 on our ranking recipe — anyone who wants the flavour 4NX is best at, without reading the rest of this page.
- You have already had the top pick. Icy Mint, at 3.5 out of 5 on our ranking recipe — people who already know 4NX and are working through the range rather than choosing a first can.
- You are working through the range. Mint, at 3.5 out of 5 on our ranking recipe — mint drinkers looking for the next thing to try.
Strength, and the Canadian 4 mg line
No 4NX can we list prints a per-pouch figure at all, which is why the dose column above reads as it does. Canada draws its regulatory line at 4 mg of nicotine per pouch — at or below it a pouch can be sold as a non-prescription natural health product, above it the Prescription Drug List places it among prescription drugs. Every strength here sits at or under that line.

What is the best 4NX flavour?
Arctic Mint. It scores 3.5 out of 5 on the recipe printed under the ranking above, which weighs how many cans 4NX presses of it, how far it spreads across formats and strengths, outside consensus, and whether we can ship it today.
Which 4NX flavour should I start with?
Watermelon Ice, at no stated dose. Starting at the gentlest dose in a range and moving up is easier than starting high and trying to come down.
How strong are 4NX pouches?
None of the 4NX cans we list prints a nicotine figure on the tin, so we do not state one.
How many pouches are in a can of 4NX?
20 pouches per can across the range.
What 4NX flavours are there?
We list 7 distinct 4NX flavours across 7 cans. The 7 ranked on this page are Arctic Mint, Icy Mint, Mint, Blue Raspberry Ice, Energy Ice, Tropical Ice and Watermelon Ice.
Can I buy 4NX in Canada?
Yes — we ship 4NX right across Canada from Richmond, BC. Availability moves between shipments, and every product page shows a live stock count rather than a number baked in when the page was built.
What we read, and what we could not link
The ranking on this page is built from our own catalogue and tasting sheet. Most flavour "reviews" in this category are published by shops that sell the same cans we do, so we read them and do not link them — a link from us is not something a competitor should earn by writing about a pouch. What we do link is anything that is not selling you something: the manufacturer, the regulator, and our own catalogue, which you can check line by line.
