About XQS Virgin Peppermint Nicotine Free (Nicotine Free) nicotine-free pouches

XQS Virgin Peppermint Nicotine Free (Nicotine Free) is built around peppermint 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 slim format. There is no nicotine in it at all — 0 mg per pouch. That is the whole ritual without the nicotine, which suits anyone stepping down to zero.

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 Virgin Peppermint Nicotine Free (Nicotine Free) effects and strength

XQS Virgin Peppermint Nicotine Free (Nicotine Free) carries no nicotine, so there is no dose to judge. Everything it does is flavour and, where there is menthol, cold.

The tingle under the lip is mild — sharper than 43% of them. Menthol and flavour make that bite, not the dose; a nicotine-free mint still has one.

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

How to use XQS Virgin Peppermint Nicotine Free (Nicotine Free)

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 Virgin Peppermint Nicotine Free (Nicotine Free) 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.
