Glick vs ZEUS: which nicotine pouch should you buy?

Glick and ZEUS sit close enough together that a lot of people end up weighing one against the other. We carry both, so this comparison is built from our own catalogue rather than someone else's spec sheet.

Side by side

Strength

Both Glick and ZEUS offer a consistent nicotine strength of 4 mg per pouch, which simplifies the decision-making for those looking for a specific dosage. They both come in slim portions of 20 pouches per can, ensuring convenience and uniformity across their lines. When considering cost, all ZEUS cans are priced at CA$14.00, while Glick provides a more budget-friendly option with its Ice Mint Light Series at CA$12.00, making it a more economical choice per pouch at CA$0.60.

Flavour is where these brands truly distinguish themselves. Glick offers a diverse range of flavours including Grape and Coffee, which are not available in ZEUS's lineup. For instance, the Glick Citrine Grape Light Series is rated highly for its fruitiness, making it a solid choice for those who prefer a bold grape taste. On the other hand, ZEUS offers unique options like Bubblegum and Mango. The ZEUS Bubble Gum Light, with its fruity profile, provides a distinct option for those seeking something different.

• 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

For those who enjoy mint, both Glick and ZEUS offer solid choices, each with their unique twist. The Glick Ice Mint Light Series, priced at CA$12.00 per can, is noted for its strong mint profile, rated 8 out of 10 in our tasting data, making it a cost-effective option for mint enthusiasts. In contrast, the ZEUS Arctic Freeze Light, also highly rated for mintiness, provides a comparable experience at CA$14.00 per can.

If you are seeking fruitier flavours, Glick and ZEUS both deliver, but with different offerings.

These choices are ideal for those looking to venture beyond the usual mint and berry varieties.
