About XQS The Menthol (17 mg) nicotine pouches

XQS The Menthol presents a brisk menthol and peppermint presence that peaks quickly within the opening moments. The initial cold sensation arrives immediately, wrapping the gum with a sharp minty edge that softens through the middle phase. The flavour gradually recedes over the last ten minutes, leaving a faint cooling aftertaste before the pouch is discarded.

Constructed as a slim pouch, it maintains a consistent fit throughout the session. The packing is moderately moist and dense enough to keep its shape without becoming soggy or prone to leaking. The nicotine release is steady, with a burn that follows shortly after the initial chill, settling in the gum’s surface rather than deeper in the mouth.

What are XQS The Menthol (17 mg) nicotine pouches?

XQS The Menthol (17 mg) comes from XQS and is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch, sold here in the slim format.

A slim pouch is narrow and long, so it follows the curve of the gum instead of balling up in one spot.

XQS The Menthol (17 mg) flavour profile

The notes on XQS The Menthol (17 mg) are clean menthol.

No meters on this can. They are scored from a tasting here and this one is still in the queue, so the flavour named above is the maker's rather than ours.

Menthol and peppermint is carried by 17 cans here from 5 different makers, 3 of them ZYN's own — which is the comparison most people arriving on this site are making.

XQS The Menthol (17 mg) is one of the cans whose maker puts out no measured sheet, with no per-gram concentration and pouch weight stated, so we leave the gap where it is rather than fill it with a figure we could not defend. Where a maker does publish them, you will find them on that can's own page.

XQS The Menthol (17 mg) effects and strength

One XQS The Menthol (17 mg) pouch is dosed at 17 mg of nicotine.

Give it 30 to 60 minutes under the lip. The bulk of what a pouch has to offer arrives in the first stretch.

How to use XQS The Menthol (17 mg)

  1. 1

    Open the can

    Unscrew the lid and lift out one pouch. Put the lid straight back on: nothing dries a can out faster than leaving it open on the side.

  2. 2

    Put it under your lip

    Slide it flat between the upper lip and the gum, over towards one side. It ought to stay where you put it and stay hidden. There is no chewing involved and nothing to swallow. XQS The Menthol (17 mg) releases on its own once it is in place.

  3. 3

    Leave it in

    A tingle in the first minute or so is ordinary and it fades. A slim pouch is generally spent after 30 to 60 minutes, and you can shift it about or lift it out at any point.

  4. 4

    Bin it when you are done

    Lift it out and bin it. Most cans build a sealed section into the lid for used pouches, which is exactly what it is there for. Do not put one down the toilet, because it will not break down and it will block the drain.

XQS The Menthol (17 mg): frequently asked questions

What is XQS The Menthol (17 mg)?

XQS The Menthol (17 mg) is XQS’s tobacco-free nicotine pouch, flavoured with clean menthol, at 17 mg of nicotine per pouch. You park it under the top lip and leave it there. Nothing burns and nothing is inhaled.

How much nicotine is in XQS The Menthol (17 mg)?

Each pouch holds 17 mg of nicotine, which we label extra strong strength. The nearest ZYN dose we carry is 16.5 mg, so this one is the stronger of the two.

What does XQS The Menthol (17 mg) taste like?

Clean menthol. No meters on this can. They are scored from a tasting here and this one is still in the queue, so the flavour named above is the maker's rather than ours.

How long does a XQS The Menthol (17 mg) pouch last?

Reckon on 30 to 60 minutes for a slim pouch. The first 20 to 30 minutes carry most of what it has to offer; beyond that you are keeping it in place rather than getting more out of it.

Does XQS The Menthol (17 mg) contain tobacco?

No. XQS The Menthol (17 mg) is a white pouch through and through: plant fibre plus nicotine, flavouring and sweetener, and no leaf at all. With no leaf in it there is nothing to mark your teeth the way older oral tobacco does, and nothing to spit either.

How should I store XQS The Menthol (17 mg)?

Lid on, can upright, out of direct sunlight. A drawer or a kitchen cupboard does the job. Refrigerating keeps pouches moist for longer if you have bought several, though it is not necessary. Store every can where children and pets cannot reach it.

Where can I buy XQS The Menthol (17 mg) in Canada?

Right here. The stock is ours, it leaves from British Columbia, and we post across Canada with shipping free over CA150. Order before 2 PM PT and it goes the same business day, tracked.
