Is Extra Strong Right for You?
Choosing the right strength is the most important decision when buying nicotine pouches. Be honest with yourself before stepping up:
- You smoked 20–30 cigarettes daily: Extra strong (8–12mg) is likely your range. Start at 8–10mg and assess after a few days before going higher
- You've been using 6mg pouches but they're not satisfying: Stepping up to 8–10mg is a natural progression. Don't jump straight to 12mg – try 10mg first
- You're new to nicotine pouches: This range is not recommended as a starting point. Begin with our medium strength range (4–8mg) and build up gradually
- You need even more: If 12mg isn't enough, our super strong range (15–20mg) may be more appropriate – but approach with caution
Extra Strong Flavours
High-strength pouches are available across all major flavour categories, though mint dominates this range for good reason – the cooling sensation complements the stronger nicotine delivery well:
- Mint & ice: Cool mint, freeze, ice cold, and arctic varieties – by far the most popular flavour group at this strength
- Citrus: Lemon and citrus blends at strong intensity – a sharp, clean alternative to mint
- Berry: Blackcurrant, blueberry, and mixed berry in strong formats
- Coffee: Espresso and dark roast profiles – a smaller but loyal category among New Zealand buyers

Extra Strong Nicotine Pouches NZ – Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as extra strong for nicotine pouches?
Extra strong typically refers to pouches in the 8–12mg nicotine range. Some brands label this range as "strong" rather than "extra strong" – the terminology isn't standardised across manufacturers. As a general rule, if a pouch is marketed as strong or extra strong and sits between 8–12mg, it belongs in this category. Anything above 12mg moves into super strong or extreme territory.
Are extra strong pouches safe for daily use?
Extra strong pouches are intended for adults with an established nicotine tolerance – typically former moderate to heavy smokers. Using them daily at 8–12mg is comparable to the nicotine intake of 20–30 cigarettes. They are not recommended for beginners, occasional smokers, or anyone without prior nicotine use. If you experience dizziness, nausea, or a racing heartbeat, remove the pouch immediately and switch to a lower strength.
How is extra strong different from super strong?
Extra strong (8–12mg) is the step up from medium strength and suits heavy ex-smokers. Super strong (15–20mg) is a further step reserved for users with very high tolerance. The jump from extra strong to super strong is significant – most New Zealand users who smoked 20–30 cigarettes daily find 10–12mg more than sufficient without needing to go higher.
Which extra strong pouch is best for beginners to this range?
If you're stepping up from medium strength for the first time, start with ZYN Cool Mint Extra Strong 11mg or VELO Ice Cool Strong 10mg. Both are consistent, well-reviewed, and widely purchased in New Zealand. The mint flavour helps mask the initial sharpness of higher-strength nicotine. Avoid jumping straight to 12mg products until you've assessed your tolerance at 10–11mg first.
How long do extra strong pouches last per session?
Most extra strong pouches deliver 30–50 minutes of nicotine and flavour release. The higher nicotine content means the effect is typically felt faster – within 5 minutes for most users – and lasts longer than medium strength options. Store your can in the fridge between uses to maintain freshness and moisture.
