XQS

XQS is one of the most innovative nicotine pouch brands Sweden has to offer. Established in Borlänge back in 2003 by two Swedish snus enthusiasts that dreamed of a tobacco free future and today owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, they have gained fans worldwide by embracing flavour like no other brand dares to. 

All XQS pouches are completely tobacco free.  Every single one is made from plant-based fibres mixed with food grade flavourings and pharmaceutical grade nicotine. Tobacco leaf?  Nope.  Smoke?  Nope.  Vapor?  Nope.  The lightly seasoned material melts softly inside your upper lip and provides even flavour that lasts. If you have read online that XQS is called "snus", please don't be confused. Traditional snus contains tobacco and cannot be sold in the UK. XQS pouches are 100% tobacco free and are legal to sell here, as long as you are aged 18+.

XQS Strength & Format

XQS displays its nicotine strengths with an easy to read dot system on the side of the can. Ranging from zero nicotine strength that still contains caffeine to their extra strong variant.

• Nicotine-Free (0mg (50mg caffeine): Users who still want the pouch format but don’t require nicotine. 
• Normal ( 4mg ): Ideal for new users or those who enjoy a lighter more balanced nicotine strength. 
• Strong ( 8mg): Perfect for regular users who want a satisfying nicotine hit. 
• Extra Strong (9.6mg – 12mg): For experienced users that know their nicotine tolerance.

As mentioned before XQS offer nicotine-free pouches with 50mg of caffeine per pouch. This isn’t something commonly found in the UK nicotine market. All strengths are widely available but if your going to experiment with 9.6mg to 12mg make sure you know your nicotine tolerance. 

Each Can Includes 20 Slim pouches.  The pouch material is soft and comfortable to hold in your gums. The nicotine release is nicely balanced and the pouches are 100% drip free. The cans also have a child resistant opening. Twist until you hear a click. 

Flavour Breakdown

XQS earned its reputation avoiding the oceans of mint pouches and crafting flavour combinations that shouldn’t work but absolutely do.

Fruit & Tropical

• Tropical – Passion fruit and mango in an energizing blend. One of XQS’s flagship flavours.  
• Citrus Cooling – Lemon/lime with a cooling finish.  Bright and zesty.  
• Berrynana Twist – Mixed berry and banana.  This unique combination was on several “best of 2026” lists. 
• Black Cherry – Sweet and rich cherry with a hint of bitter almond. 
• Raspberry Blackcurrant – Bright berries with a nice balance of sweet and tart. 
• Fizzy Peach / Orange Squeeze / Apple Crisp – These are candy-like, burst of juice flavours. 
• Twin Apple – Clean and simple apple.  
• Dark Banana – Sweet banana with a darker, almost smokey quality.

Unique & Experimental

• Cactus Sour – Juicy cactus with a sour punch. One of XQS biggest crowd pleasers.  
• Soft Toffee / Pipe Candy – A milky caramel sugar rush with absolutely no sugar in it. Proper candy pouch.  
• Elderflower – Smooth, creamy and lightly sweet.  Great alternative if you’re tired of fruit and mint flavors. 
• Fizzy Cola / Cola Lime – Every cola goes fizzy here. Add some lime for a citrus zing.  
• Chili Mango – Juicy mango sweetness with a hint of warmth. When you want your pouch to kick you unexpectedly. 
• Hallonsoda / Hallon Lakrits – Raspberry soda and raspberry liquorice done Swedish style.

Mint & Ice

• Blueberry Mint - Sweet blueberries with a refreshing hint of mint. Better than you would think.  
• Wintergreen - Traditional American wintergreen.  Popular with British fans.  
• Arctic Freeze / Cool Ice - Cooling overload for mint fans who want it frosty. 
• Green Mint / The Peppermint / The Spearmint / The Menthol - All clean mint flavours in different strengths.

If your'e getting tired of the same old mint-and-berry cycle XQS will be sure to spice things up for you.

Who should try XQS pouches?

We offer such a wide strength spectrum because we think there’s really an XQS pouch for everyone who uses nicotine as an adult.

• Try XQS Normal (4mg) if you’re new to nicotine pouches or you like your nicotine light and more controlled. 
• Try XQS Strong (8mg) if you’re a regular nicotine user looking for a reliable daily pouch with great flavour. 
• Try XQS Extra Strong (9.6mg–12mg) if you’re a seasoned nicotine user and find most standard strength pouches too weak. 
• Try XQS Nicotine-Free (0mg, 50mg caffeine) if you want all the ritual of a pouch with a functional boost, but no nicotine. 
• Don’t try XQS at all if you’ve never used nicotine before, especially not in the form of pouches. Even our lowest strength requires some familiarity with how nicotine feels under the lip.
