Blackcurrant
Top Blackcurrant Nicotine Pouches
Tart blackcurrant with a menthol ice finish that arrives a few seconds after the berry. ZYN's nicotine salt formula keeps the delivery smooth at 11mg, and the slim format sits flat under the lip. ZYN also makes a Super Strong at 13.5mg with the same flavour profile dialled up.
Shop Now →The friendliest entry into blackcurrant at Snusdaddy. VELO rounds off the tartness with noticeable sweetness, making this the least sharp option in the category. If you want the opposite approach, VELO also makes a Dark Blackcurrant at the same 8mg with deeper, less sweet berry character.
Shop Now →Pure blackcurrant without cooling, spice, or secondary fruits. LOOP's Cellulose+ pouch material releases flavour gradually, so the tartness builds rather than hitting immediately. The jammiest blackcurrant in the range, leaning closer to cassis preserves than fresh berries.
Shop Now →Blackcurrant tartness blended with sweeter raspberry. The raspberry softens the dark berry edge without burying it, landing somewhere between VELO Sweet Blackcurrant and LOOP's purer take. At 8mg, this ties with the two VELO products as the lowest-strength blackcurrant option.
Shop Now →The only blackcurrant pouch above 16.3mg at Snusdaddy. At 33.6mg the nicotine absorption is significant, though the berry tartness still cuts through. Kurwa also produces a Blackcurrant Purple Grape blend at 16.3mg for users who want Kurwa's flavour style at a lower intensity.
Shop Now →Blackcurrant is a smaller category than cherry or blueberry, but every product here takes a different approach to the berry. Some add cooling, some add sweetness, some add a second fruit, and some just let the tartness speak for itself. The strength table further down maps each option by tier.
How Blackcurrant Tastes Across Brands
The word "blackcurrant" covers a wider taste range than you might expect. VELO's version and LOOP's version barely taste like the same fruit. Knowing which direction each brand takes helps more than comparing mg numbers alone.
Tart berry up front, menthol cooling in the finish. Both ZYN products take this approach. The icy tingle arrives after the berry flavour settles and lasts through the session. If you like blackcurrant but also want that cooling sensation, ZYN is the only brand doing this combination.
VELO splits blackcurrant into two takes at the same 8mg strength. Sweet Blackcurrant rounds off the tartness with added sweetness. Dark Blackcurrant leans into deeper, more concentrated berry without the sugar lift. Same brand, same nicotine, completely different character.
No cooling, no sweetener emphasis, just dark berry. LOOP Blackcurrant Strong is the purest expression of the flavour in the range. "Cassis" is simply the French word for blackcurrant, so products using either term deliver the same base fruit.
Blackcurrant paired with another fruit. XQS blends it with raspberry for a sweeter, less sharp result. Kurwa Collection pairs it with purple grape for a darker, richer berry combination. Blends tend to be more approachable than pure blackcurrant because the second fruit balances the tartness.
Blackcurrant Nicotine Pouch Strengths
The lowest blackcurrant pouch at Snusdaddy starts at 8mg, which means the entire category skips the low and normal tiers. Blackcurrant's natural tartness actually holds up well at higher strengths because the sharp berry flavour counteracts nicotine bitterness rather than competing with it.
| Strength Level | Nicotine Content | Products | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong | 6-12 mg | VELO Sweet Blackcurrant (8mg), VELO Dark Blackcurrant (8mg), XQS Raspberry Blackcurrant Strong (8mg), LOOP Blackcurrant Strong (9.4mg), ZYN Slim Blackcurrant Ice Extra Strong (11mg) | Five products at three price points. VELO and XQS share the 8mg floor. LOOP and ZYN sit a step higher. |
| Extra Strong | 12-20 mg | ZYN Slim Blackcurrant Ice Super Strong (13.5mg), Kurwa Collection Blackcurrant Purple Grape (16.3mg) | ZYN Super Strong is the step up from their Extra Strong. Kurwa Collection is a grape blend, not pure blackcurrant. |
| Don't Go There | 30 mg+ | Kurwa Killer Blackcurrant (33.6mg) | A large jump from 16.3mg. Tolerance thresholds vary widely at this level. |
If 8mg feels too strong, blackcurrant does not have a lighter option at the moment. Blueberry pouches from Helwit (4.5mg) or XQS Blueberry Mint (4mg) offer a similar dark berry character at lower nicotine. The strong tier (8-11mg) has the widest blackcurrant selection, with five products covering icy, sweet, dark, pure, and blended directions.
