Garant vs Stockholm White: which nicotine pouch should you buy?

If you're weighing Garant against Stockholm White, the useful comparison is not the marketing copy but the milligrams, the portion size and the price per can. We sell both, so all three are below.

Side by side

Strength

Both brands are 4 mg per pouch, so a single pouch delivers the same labelled nicotine. The difference is in the pouch weight: Garant puts 4 mg in a 0.43 g pouch (9.3 mg/g), while Stockholm White's Arctic Menthol and Wintergreen use 0.5 g (8.0 mg/g) and Licorice Root uses 0.6 g (6.7 mg/g). By concentration, Garant is the firmer option.

Per can the gap widens. Garant packs 27 pouches and 108 mg of nicotine per can; Stockholm White's cans hold 20 pouches and 80 mg. Garant also costs CA$0.52 a pouch against CA$0.70 for Arctic Menthol and Wintergreen, or CA$0.60 for Licorice Root. If you measure strength by total nicotine per can and cost per pouch, Garant wins outright.

Why might you still take Stockholm White? Its Wintergreen Light rates just 3 out of 10 for sting, while Garant's Ice Cool Light and Extreme Light both hit 7. If you want a firm hit, pick Garant. If you'd rather have a gentler pouch and the apple or licorice flavours only Stockholm White has, the trade-off is a lighter concentration and fewer pouches per can.

• Light — 1.5–4 mg per pouch (177 cans listed, in stock or not). Where to start. Enough to feel, mild enough to sit with for an hour.
• Normal — 4.2–6 mg per pouch (76 cans listed, in stock or not). The everyday strength — enough to feel without taking over the afternoon.
• Strong — 6.3–12 mg per pouch (259 cans listed, in stock or not). A firm kick and a real tingle. Not a first pouch.
• Extra Strong — 12.5–20 mg per pouch (96 cans listed, in stock or not). Heavy hitters for a tolerance that is already built.
• Super Strong — 22.2–30 mg per pouch (70 cans listed, in stock or not). Serious doses, for a tolerance that is already well established.
• Extreme — 32.5–50 mg per pouch (70 cans listed, in stock or not). The highest doses we list. Far above any Canadian-authorized product.

Flavour and format

Both lines are slim-only, so format won't separate them. Within mint, Garant has the wider range: Ice Cool Light, Extreme Light and Mint Light score mint 6, 7 and 7 respectively, while Stockholm White has one mint, Arctic Menthol Light, at 7. That gives Garant a spectrum from moderate to strong mint, while Stockholm White offers a single strong mint.

Elsewhere they split cleanly. Garant alone carries eucalyptus, berry and peach; Stockholm White alone has licorice and apple. The fruit contrast is telling: Ice Peach Light is balanced at 5/5 for sting and fruit, while Wintergreen Light is a 3 for sting and 7 for fruit — a lighter, sweeter apple. Choose Garant if you want a cool mint range, a berry with a low sting (Ice Blueberry Light), or eucalyptus. Choose Stockholm White if you want licorice or a noticeably sweet apple in a slim pouch. Garant's six options also give you more to rotate than Stockholm's three.

The Stockholm White range in full

• Stockholm White Arctic Menthol Light (4 mg) — Stockholm White Arctic Menthol Light pairs a smooth, easy-going nicotine kick with a crisp mint taste.
• Stockholm White Licorice Root Light (4 mg) — With Stockholm White Licorice Root Light, you get clean licorice flavour and a smooth, easy-going release that lasts.
• Stockholm White Wintergreen Light (4 mg) — Reach for Stockholm White Wintergreen Light when you want a smooth, easy-going hit of apple without smoke or tobacco.

The Stockholm White range is three pouches, all at 4 mg, each dedicated to a single flavour: mint, licorice, or apple. The line is split between two producers — Vivasnus and Twinroll Service — so the cans are not identical in build.

Arctic Menthol Light is the sole mint, with a sting of 6 out of 10. Licorice Root Light is the softest of the trio (sting 4, mint 3) and the only can holding 12 g of material, against 10 g for the other two. Wintergreen Light is the apple option, with a mint rating of just 1.

If a straight mint is what you want, Arctic Menthol is the pick. If you'd rather skip the sting, choose between a heavier, sweeter licorice and a lighter apple that's essentially mint-free.

Price and availability in Canada

Garant sets one price across the range: CA$14.00 per can, regardless of flavour. Stockholm White varies: Arctic Menthol Light and Wintergreen Light are CA$14.00, but Licorice Root Light is CA$12.00. That makes Licorice Root the cheapest single can you can order from either brand. If you want a predictable cost across an order, Garant is the simpler choice; if you want the lowest entry price, take the Stockholm White Licorice Root.

Availability favours Garant just as clearly. We stock 6 Garant singles against 3 Stockholm White, and every can is sold individually, so you can mix both brands in one shipment. The CA$150 free-shipping threshold applies to the combined order, meaning a mixed cart can reach it without buying a full roll of either brand. Orders ship from our British Columbia warehouse across Canada.

For a first order, Garant's larger range gives you more to try in one go. Stockholm White works best as a complement: its short list and variable pricing make it a good way to add a couple of unusual cans to a Garant-heavy cart rather than the base of an order.

Common questions

Garant is manufactured by UAB Kordula, so every can we carry comes from one producer. Stockholm White is the opposite: the cans we carry are made by two different producers, Vivasnus and Twinroll Service. If you have tried Royal White, you already have a reference point for Stockholm White, since Vivasnus produces both.

Physical can weight also separates the lines. Four of Garant's flavours (including Eucalyptus Light and Extreme Light) hold 11.8 g of material each; Ice Blueberry Light and Ice Peach Light hold 13.5 g. In the Stockholm White line, Arctic Menthol Light and Wintergreen Light hold 10 g each, and Licorice Root Light holds 12 g. The heaviest cans are the two Garant Ice flavours, and the lightest are the two Stockholm White options at 10 g.

For a multi-can order, the weight difference affects shipping. Pair the 13.5 g Garant Ice cans with the 10 g Stockholm White cans, or choose the 11.8 g Garant cans as a middle ground. The lightest cans overall are Stockholm White Arctic Menthol and Wintergreen, which makes them a good counterweight in a mixed shipment.
