XQS Hallon Lakrits 8mg

Hallon Lakrits is Swedish: hallon means raspberry and lakrits means liquorice. So the name of XQS Hallon Lakrits tells you exactly what the flavour is, a pairing of raspberry and black liquorice in a slim, all-white pouch.

XQS Hallon Lakrits contains 8mg of nicotine per pouch. The 16 you may see is the per-gram figure, 16mg/g, worked out on a pouch of about 0.5g. It is the same strength in a different unit, not a 16mg per pouch product.

A little. One retailer describes XQS Hallon Lakrits as sweet, salty and slightly tart, with raspberry sweetness set against black liquorice. So expect a touch of saltiness in the mix rather than a purely sweet fruit pouch.

XQS Hallon Lakrits is described as sweet, and its ingredients list two sweeteners, E950 and E955. The raspberry carries much of that sweetness, while the black liquorice and a slightly tart edge add contrast to the flavour.

No menthol or cooling is mentioned for XQS Hallon Lakrits in the sources we checked. It is a raspberry and liquorice flavour without an icy finish, which makes it an option for people who find mint pouches too cold.

The retailer description for XQS Hallon Lakrits names black liquorice, paired with raspberry. That points to the classic dark liquorice taste rather than a red or fruit-flavoured liquorice, with the raspberry providing the fruit.

XQS rates Hallon Lakrits as Strong, 4 out of 5 on its strength scale, according to a retailer that lists the maker rating. In plain numbers that is 8mg of nicotine per pouch, which our shop lists in the medium band of 7 to 16mg.

XQS Hallon Lakrits 8mg is a middle strength, better suited to people who already use nicotine pouches. Adults new to pouches often prefer to begin lower, such as the 4mg XQS tier. It is not suitable for anyone who does not already use nicotine.

Both. XQS Hallon Lakrits combines raspberry, a fruit, with black liquorice, which is more of a confectionery taste. The result is described as sweet, salty and slightly tart, so it sits somewhere between a fruit pouch and a candy-style pouch.

One retailer lists XQS Hallon Lakrits as made in Sweden, and XQS is generally described as a Scandinavian brand. Retailers name the company behind it as Insurgent Ventures II. Sources differ on these details for some other XQS flavours, so we keep to what is listed for this one.

There are 20 slim, all-white pouches in every 10g can of XQS Hallon Lakrits, so each pouch weighs about 0.5g. Every pouch contains 8mg of nicotine.

XQS Hallon Lakrits shares the 8mg per pouch strength and slim 20-pouch can with XQS fruit flavours such as Twin Apple and Berrynana Twist. The difference is the liquorice, which gives Hallon Lakrits a salty, confectionery side that the straight fruit flavours do not have.

XQS Hallon Lakrits contains no tobacco leaf, so it is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch. It is smoke-free and vapour-free and does not need spitting. Each Hallon Lakrits pouch still contains 8mg of nicotine, which limits it to adults aged 18 and over.

Take one XQS Hallon Lakrits pouch from the can and slide it under your top lip. Leave it there to let the raspberry and liquorice come through, with no chewing or spitting. Remove it whenever you like and throw it in the bin.

There is no rule. Many users keep an XQS Hallon Lakrits pouch in for roughly 20 to 40 minutes, though it varies from person to person and you can take it out earlier at any time.
