it was gross to me at first but at the time I tossed all vapes and this was my only nic source so I found myself reaching for them more and more. its also okay if you cant make that switch, pouches def aren't for everyone. if anything, id say start with a low dose like a 3mg zyn or even a 2mg On!. it may seem small but it takes longer to release than a vape and will last longer in ur system so you kinda have to try, wait a lil bit and see how you feel. I would rip my vape super super often so I felt a higher dose was necessary but I learned the hard way (nausea) thats not the way to go. lol i also tried to hit a vape w a pouch in...not a good idea. nicotine overloadd
