How To Use Nicotine Pouches

How to Use Nicotine Pouches: The Basics

Where should I put my nicotine pouch? How do I start using nicotine pouches? There are 4 simple steps to follow when using nicotine pouches. (If you need more information on “what are nicotine pouches”, you can read our other Nicokick guides!)

1. OPEN THE NICOTINE CAN

Nicotine pouch containers differ slightly depending on which brand you purchase. With most cans you simply lift the lid to open, but some are designed with a certified child safety lid. To open these cans, break the perforation along the side label, twist the lid to align the top and bottom arrows and lift.

2. TAKE A POUCH AND PARK IT

Take a pouch out of the can and place it between your gum and lip.

 3. ENJOY YOUR WAY

You will taste the flavor as it is released with the nicotine. Keep your pouch in for as long as suggested on the can.

4. REMOVE AND THROW AWAY THE NICOTINE POUCH

Take out the pouch and throw it away (responsibly). You can either throw it straight in the trash or in the storage compartment in the lid if the can has that option – just do not throw them on the ground!

How to Open Nicotine Cans

One of the trickiest parts of using nicotine pouches is working out how to open the nicotine cans. Each brand has different can designs, but how do you open the most popular brands’ cans?

How to Open ZYN

ZYN cans are round in shape, and come with a child-proof seal. To open a can of ZYNs, you should run your nail around the middle of the can to break the perforation along the side label, then twist the lid to align the top and bottom arrows and lift to access your ZYNs. But you can learn more about how use ZYNs in our other ZYN guides.

How to Open On!

On! cans are unique, with a rectangular design. To open a can of On! pouches, you need to find the bottom edge of the can (it should say “open here”), then push that up. The front panel of the can will open and you can access your On! nicotine pouches.

How to Open VELO

Opening VELO cans follow the same steps you follow when opening a Rogue or ZYN can. Break the seal around the middle of the can and gently squeeze the bottom half of the can as you lift the lid.
