XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg)

About XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) nicotine pouches

XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) is built around caramel. On the taste scales it sits at 6/10 for fruit, 2/10 for mint and 4/10 for sting — a moderate fruit character, almost no mint, and a mild tingle under the lip.

Nicotine is 4 mg per pouch, or 8 mg/g, which is a normal strength. That is an easy-going dose that suits newcomers and everyday use alike.

It is made by XQS international AB. Like everything we stock it is tobacco free — a white pouch that sits under the lip, leaves no stain and needs nowhere to spit.

What are XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) nicotine pouches?

XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch from XQS, sold here in the slim format at about 0.5 g a pouch.

The slim format is long and narrow, so it lies along the gum line rather than bunching up. It is one of 35 XQS listings we stock; the rest of the range is on the XQS page.

XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) flavour profile

Against the 1122 cans on our shelf with a measured fact sheet it is cooler than 25% of them and sweeter than 39%. Sweet-led and gentle with it: the flavour does the work and there is very little bite to notice.

Nothing else we stock tastes quite like it; 77 Blackcurrant Medium (10 mg) is the closest on the meters, near enough identical on all three meters, but a different flavour.

XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) effects and strength

Each XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) pouch holds 4 mg of nicotine, or 8 mg per gram — stronger per gram than 28% of what we stock.

The tingle under the lip is mild — sharper than 43% of them. Menthol and flavour make that bite rather than the dose, and it settles in a few minutes.

Keep one in for 30 to 60 minutes; most of what a pouch has to give comes out early.

How to use XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg)

1. 1

   Open the can

   Twist the lid off and take out a single pouch. Close the lid again straight away; an open can dries out faster than anything else you can do to it.

2. 2

   Put it under your lip

   Tuck the pouch flat between your upper lip and gum, off to one side. It should sit still and out of sight. Do not chew it and do not swallow it — XQS Soft Toffee Light (4 mg) is designed to stay put and release on its own.

3. 3

   Leave it in

   Expect a tingle in the first minute or two; that is normal and it settles. A slim pouch is usually done in 30 to 60 minutes, and you can move it around or take it out whenever you want.

4. 4

   Bin it when you are done

   Take the pouch out and put it in the bin — many cans have a sealed compartment in the lid for exactly this. Never flush one; it does not break down and it will block a drain.
