XQS The Spearmint (6 mg)

About XQS The Spearmint (6 mg) nicotine pouches

XQS The Spearmint (6 mg) is built around spearmint and mint. On the taste scales it sits at 2/10 for fruit, 6/10 for mint and 4/10 for sting — no real fruit sweetness, a clear mint note, and a mild tingle under the lip.

The can carries 20 pouches in the super slim format, 15 grams of product in total. Nicotine is 6 mg per pouch, or 8 mg/g, which is a normal strength. That is a firm dose better suited to regular users than to first-timers.

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

XQS The Spearmint (6 mg) flavour profile

XQS The Spearmint (6 mg) tastes of soft, sweet spearmint.

Against the 1122 cans on our shelf with a measured fact sheet it is sweeter than 11% of them and cooler than 66%. It reads clean rather than sweet, which is what most people want from a mint they intend to use all day.

XQS The Spearmint (6 mg) effects and strength

Each XQS The Spearmint (6 mg) pouch holds 6 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.

How to use XQS The Spearmint (6 mg)

1. 1

   Open the can

   Twist the lid off and take out a single pouch — there are 20 in a can. 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 The Spearmint (6 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 pouch is usually done inside an hour, 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.
