How To Switch From Vaping To Nicotine Pouches

Beginner’s Guides

Concerns about the health implications of smoking and an increased number of bans on where you can smoke have led to many smokers switching to tobacco-free vaping.

A study by the NCBI confirms the popularity of e-cigarettes and vaping among cigarette smokers and non-smokers.

However, as research shows vaping has its own list of health risks, regulations are increasing and many people are looking to switch from vaping to nicotine pouches.

It can be a good option to help you quit smoking or simply a potentially healthier way to enjoy your nicotine. Here’s what you need to know to switch from vaping to nicotine pouches.

Understanding Nicotine Strength

This can be difficult but it's an essential part of a successful transfer from vaping to nicotine pouches.

"It’s been estimated that every puff from a vape pen will give you between 0.5 and 1.5 mg of nicotine.”

The exact amount depends on how much nicotine is in your chosen vape flavour and how long you puff for. Even the power of your vape pen can make a difference to your nicotine content.

Start by checking your chosen vape to understand what concentration of nicotine is present. It should be declared in mg/ml.

You’ll then need to work out how many times you vape during the day and, therefore, roughly how much nicotine you are absorbing.

When you know how much nicotine you’re absorbing through the day you’ll be able to work out which nicotine pouch is right for you.

Pouches are broadly split into light, medium, and heavy usage. Light usage equates to between 2-4 mg of nicotine a day and you’ll want the weakest pouches.

At the other end of the scale, heavy smokers will want nicotine pouches with 10 mg of nicotine per pouch or more.

If in doubt about which strength pouch to go for we recommend going lighter. It’s easier to take additional pouches than it is to deal with the aftereffects of a pouch that’s too strong for you.

Select A Classic Flavour

Now you’ve decided what strength pouch to take, you need to consider which flavour. There are hundreds of options and many will sound enticing.

However, if you’re new to nicotine pouches we recommend you start with the classic flavours. That’s the mints and the tobacco flavours.

Once you’re comfortable with the process you can switch to fruit flavours or something more exotic.

Try Slim Pouches

Pouches are available in mini, slim, or regular. Try mini or slim. These are smaller, more comfortable, and virtually invisible when in position.

In most cases, these sizes will also provide all the nicotine you need.

Create Time To Try Your First Pouch

It’s important to note that the nicotine pouch experience is very different to vaping. The pouch stays in your mouth for up to an hour and releases nicotine and flavour for most of that time.

You’ll feel a zing as the nicotine starts working and then a pleasant nicotine feeling.

We recommend you create a little time and try your first pouch somewhere comfortable. It will help you get used to the experience.

Summing Up

Switching from vaping to nicotine pouches is a good idea and it doesn’t need to be complicated. Simply think about how much nicotine you’re absorbing and try to roughly match your vaping level with your pouches.
