Important: LOOP nicotine pouches contain nicotine, which is an addictive substance. Not recommended for non-nicotine users, people under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with cardiovascular conditions. Always use responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets.
Understanding LOOP Nicotine Strengths
LOOP offers six distinct strength tiers across multiple formats, designed to accommodate everyone from nicotine-free users through to high-tolerance enthusiasts.
| Strength Level | Nicotine Per Pouch | Recommended For | Team Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zero | 0mg/pouch | Users wanting flavour without nicotine | LOOP Zero Cool Mint only. Perfect for managing usage frequency or situations where nicotine isn't desired. |
| Ultra Light | 3mg/pouch | First-time users or very light smokers | LOOP Hot Mango Mini only. Gentlest nicotine delivery in the LOOP range. |
| Light / Mini | 6.3–6.8mg/pouch | Beginners and moderate users | 10 varieties including all Mini format options. Discreet size ideal for new users. Popular: Jalapeño Lime Mini, Smooth Mint Mini, Creamy Cappuccino Mini. |
| Strong | 8.6–9.4mg/pouch | Regular users and moderate ex-smokers | 14 varieties. Balanced satisfaction for daily use. Top seller: LOOP Smooth Mint Strong (9.4mg/pouch). |
| Extra Strong | 12.5–13.8mg/pouch | Experienced users and heavy ex-smokers | 5 varieties. Enhanced nicotine delivery for high tolerance. Featured: Red Chili Melon Extra Strong (12.5mg/pouch). |
| Hyper Strong | 11.3–15.6mg/pouch | Expert-level tolerance only | 12 varieties including Mini Hyper Strong (11.3mg/pouch) and full-size Hyper Strong (15.6mg/pouch). Signature: Jalapeño Lime Hyper Strong delivers spicy-citrus intensity at maximum strength. |
Expert tip: LOOP's InstantRush™ technology means you'll feel the nicotine effect within 30–60 seconds – significantly faster than most brands. This can catch new users off guard. If you're trying LOOP for the first time, start with Mini format (6.8mg/pouch) even if you're comfortable with similar strengths from other brands. Our team consistently finds LOOP hits harder than comparable mg levels from ZYN or VELO.

What Makes LOOP Different from Other Brands
InstantRush™ Technology
LOOP's proprietary InstantRush™ technology delivers immediate flavour and nicotine release – no waiting time required. Most nicotine pouches take 3–5 minutes to fully activate; LOOP delivers within 30–60 seconds. Our team found this makes a noticeable difference in user experience, particularly for situations where you want quick nicotine delivery.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Nicotine Salts
LOOP uses pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salts rather than standard freebase nicotine. This formulation provides reduced throat irritation while maintaining rapid absorption. Users report smoother delivery even at Hyper Strong levels (15.6mg/pouch) compared to other brands at similar strengths.
PlantCan™ Eco-Friendly Packaging
Every LOOP can is made from PlantCan™ – 100% bioplastic derived from renewable pine oil sourced from forest industry waste. This makes LOOP one of the most environmentally responsible nicotine pouch brands alongside HELWIT. The cans are chemically identical to traditional petroleum-based plastic in durability and moisture protection but with dramatically lower environmental impact.
For environmentally conscious Kiwis: LOOP's PlantCan™ packaging means your nicotine pouch habit doesn't contribute to fossil fuel demand. The pine oil is a renewable resource that would otherwise go to waste in timber processing. While the cans aren't biodegradable (they're designed for product protection), they're recyclable and represent a significant step toward sustainable packaging in the nicotine pouch industry.
Bold Flavour Innovation
LOOP stands apart with flavour combinations other brands won't attempt: Jalapeño Lime, Red Chili Melon, Habanero Mint, Spicy Apple. If you're tired of endless mint variations and want genuinely adventurous taste experiences, LOOP is unmatched in the market.
Popular LOOP Flavours for New Zealand
Spicy Varieties – LOOP's Signature Category
These are the flavours that built LOOP's reputation. Bold, unconventional, and polarizing – you'll either love them or wonder why anyone would want chili in their nicotine pouch.

If you're new to nicotine pouches or have only used regular-strength products (6mg/pouch or below), start with Mini (6.8mg/pouch) or Strong (9.4mg/pouch) versions of these flavours before attempting Hyper Strong.

LOOP Nicotine Pouches NZ – FAQs
Which LOOP flavour is best?
The best LOOP flavour depends on your taste preference. For spice lovers: Jalapeño Lime (our most reviewed), Red Chili Melon, or Habanero Mint. For traditional tastes: Smooth Mint or Mint Mania. For unique profiles: Hot Peach, Creamy Cappuccino, or Licorice Fusion. New to LOOP? Start with Smooth Mint Mini (6.8mg/pouch) to experience the brand without committing to spicy flavours.
Are LOOP pouches vegan or allergen-free?
LOOP pouches appear vegan-friendly based on standard ingredients (plant fibres, pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, flavours, sweeteners), but we recommend verifying labels for allergens, cross-contamination notices, and certified vegan status if this is important to you. Common ingredients include plant fibre, water, nicotine salts, flavourings, sweeteners (E968/E950), acidity regulator, and preservatives.
LOOP pouch size and format – which is more comfortable?
Mini (6.8mg/pouch) is most comfortable for beginners, users with sensitive gums, and those wanting maximum discretion. Slim (most LOOP varieties at 9.4–15.6mg/pouch) suits most users, offering better flavour release and more strength options. Standard gives maximum flavour duration. Our team recommends slim for best balance of comfort and experience.
LOOP vs ZYN vs VELO – which tastes better?
Taste is subjective. LOOP wins for bold spicy-fruit combinations and InstantRush™ intensity. ZYN excels at clean, traditional mint/citrus/berry profiles. VELO offers balanced variety and reliable quality. Choose LOOP if you want adventurous spice and immediate delivery, ZYN for classic flavours, VELO for broadest variety. Try Jalapeño Lime (LOOP), Cool Mint (ZYN), and Crispy Peppermint (VELO) side-by-side to find your preference.
What is InstantRush™ technology?
InstantRush™ is LOOP's proprietary delivery system that provides immediate flavour and nicotine release within 30–60 seconds, versus 3–5 minutes for most competing brands. Our team found this makes LOOP feel stronger than other brands at comparable mg levels – a LOOP Strong (9.4mg/pouch) often hits harder than a ZYN Extra Strong (11mg/pouch) due to faster absorption.
How long does LOOP delivery to New Zealand take?
UPS Express and UPS Saver typically deliver in 5–8 working days to New Zealand. PostNord standard takes 10–15 working days. All options include tracking. Rural and South Island addresses may take 1–2 additional days via NZ Post for final delivery.
Nicotine is an addictive substance. LOOP products are intended for adult nicotine users only. Must be 18+ to purchase. Not for sale to minors.
