Best Garant flavours

The options below are worth your attention right now, selected from what is actually on the shelf. They are ordered by what people reorder, and the specs beside each entry come straight from the catalogue.

How we picked these

We picked these Garant flavours from the 31 single cans we stock, applying three filters: in stock, on-brief for this page, and specifications printed on the can rather than inferred. The range left over spans 4 mg per pouch (Eucalyptus Light) to 25 mg per pouch (Extreme Cherry 25 mg), with concentrations from 8.4 mg/g to 50.0 mg/g.

Garant cans are CA$17.00, and the ones we compared work out to CA$0.63 per pouch. A light can like Ice Blueberry Light holds 108 mg of nicotine in 27 pouches; Extreme Cherry (25 mg) holds 675 mg. So the strong can carries more nicotine per can, while the light can is easier to pace.

Tasting data separates mints from fruits: Eucalyptus Light is sting 6, mint 5; Ice Blueberry Light is sting 4, fruit 5. That’s why the list includes a mint-forward pick and a fruit-forward pick rather than just the highest nicotine count.

The picks

The light line is where Garant's flavour range opens up. Among the 4 mg options, Extreme Light and Ice Cool Light both rate sting 7, with mint scores of 7 and 6, so they deliver a strong cooling sensation. If you want the mint flavour without as much burn, Mint Light scores mint 7 but sting 5 – a smoother pick.

For a fruit choice, Ice Peach Light is the even split: fruit and mint both at 5, so you get a peachy taste with a mild cooling edge. Its sting rating of 5 puts it below the mint-forward cans, making it a middle-ground pick if you are not sure which way you lean.

At the other end, the 22.2 mg Extreme Cola and Extreme Cherry trade the cooling for a sweet, candy-like flavour. These suit someone who wants more nicotine per pouch without the mint burn, and they pair that higher strength with a completely different taste profile.

How to choose between them

When comparing Garant cans to any other brand, read the milligrams per pouch, not the milligrams per gram. Garant's own range shows why: the 22.2 mg Extreme Cherry sits in a 0.444 g pouch, the 10 mg Cherry in a 0.5 g pouch, and the 25 mg Extreme Cola also in 0.5 g. So the same 50 mg/g concentration appears at 22.2 mg and 25 mg per pouch. The per-pouch figure is the dose you are actually getting.

Portion size is a separate choice from strength. Garant Mint Light and Ice Peach Light, both 4 mg, come in slim pouches. Some stronger cans are heavier: the 22.2 mg Extreme Cherry is a 0.444 g pouch, and the 25 mg Extreme Cola is 0.5 g. So if you are used to a slim pouch, the stronger options have a noticeably different feel.

• Light — 1.5–4 mg per pouch (177 cans on our shelf). Where to start. Enough to feel, mild enough to sit with for an hour.
• Normal — 4.2–6 mg per pouch (76 cans on our shelf). The everyday strength — enough to feel without taking over the afternoon.
• Strong — 6.3–12 mg per pouch (244 cans on our shelf). A firm kick and a real tingle. Not a first pouch.
• Extra Strong — 12.5–20 mg per pouch (93 cans on our shelf). Heavy hitters for a tolerance that is already built.
• Super Strong — 22.2–30 mg per pouch (70 cans on our shelf). Serious doses, for a tolerance that is already well established.
• Jesus Dude — 32.5–50 mg per pouch (64 cans on our shelf). Exactly what it sounds like.

Common questions

Garant is made by UAB Kordula, also written KORDULA UAB. That single producer covers the full range we stock, from the 4 mg Light cans to the 25 mg Extreme cans.

Most Garant flavours are fruit or mint, but the range also includes Cola and Energy Drink. For a middle step between the 4 mg Lights and the 22.2 mg Extremes, there is Cherry at 10 mg and Ice Cool at 17.5 mg. Ice Cool is the only 17.5 mg option we carry, with a concentration of 29.5 mg per gram.

The 'Extreme' name is not a strength rating: Extreme Light is 4 mg, while Extreme Cola and Extreme Cherry are each available at 22.2 mg and 25 mg.
