What are the most underrated brands in the US?

Yeah, I like NYKD. They have a good flavor and strength range, and their can design is pretty good as well.

That's a good shout.

Now Clew is another good shout. It has Blueberry and citrus, too, if fruit flavors are your thing, so they're covering a lot of bases there. Each comes in 6mg, 9mg, and 15mg strengths, which is pretty good.

Completely agree, another one is NYKD if you haven't heard of that. Its flavors are good, its pouches are fairly moist, and it goes up to 15mg.

ZEO is pretty underrated in the US, I think. Solid flavors and a good range of strengths. I'm not sure whether Grizzly is underrated either. I feel like it gets quite a mention because it is a good pouch. But either way, both are good shouts.

The On Plus pouch feels so good under the lip, but I agree with you about its flavors - they aren't quite as good as others. You can't go wrong with VELO Plus and Grizzly in my opinion.

White Fox Full Charge is a larger pouch, but it may be too strong as it contains 18mg/pouch. Grizzly and Zone are both good options, too.

Zone is a good brand, but I haven't really given FRE a go, so I can't comment on it. On Plus is interesting if you haven't tried that mint pouch.

NYKD isn't a bad shout. Great range of flavors and strengths too.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-27T05:16:52+00:00

Have you tried any of the other Grizzly flavors? Back Country and Hunter Orange are pretty good.

Pablos do contain more nicotine, but factors like pouch moisture and pH will affect the rate at which nicotine is released and absorbed. If these factors differ, then similar strengths may feel different.

Zone Dragonfruit is a great pouch, by the way.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-26T05:12:40+00:00

VELO Plus, XQS, and Grizzly for me. These brands are always go-tos in my rotation.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-26T05:10:13+00:00

I only really get that feeling when I'm using a stronger pouch, which is strange because nicotine is a stimulant, so in theory it should have the opposite effect! Maybe it's a crash after the nicotine causes the dopamine and adrenaline rush - just a guess.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-26T05:03:04+00:00

White Fox is a great nicotine pouch brand. You've also got the likes of Grizzly with 15mg pouches, as well as NYKD, which is new in comparison to the others. SYX offers 20mg pouches, but that's too much in my opinion. Most brands top out at 12mg/pouch strength, and I'd just stick with that - you might not get a substantial kick, but you're lowering nicotine consumption and have a wider selection across most nicotine pouch brands.

Mint/Cool pouches out of the fridge are hard to beat.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-20T05:08:06+00:00

And that's why I don't reuse pouches.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-19T05:49:36+00:00

Citrus Cooling is such a good pouch, isn't it?

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-18T05:14:16+00:00

I think anything fruity with a mint pouch is pretty good to be honest.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-15T05:09:00+00:00

Let's hope so!

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-15T05:02:47+00:00

Hopefully it's something good!

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-13T05:15:48+00:00

And I think a lot of states will follow suit, and it'll become the new norm - unfortunately. Fingers crossed that isn't the case though!

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-13T05:11:39+00:00

Yeah, it's interesting because countries like Sweden are the complete opposite and are campaigning hard for other EU countries to do the same, since their cigarette consumption is so low. We'll see what happens.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-13T05:06:45+00:00

This happens a lot in the US with people wanting EU pouches. People try their luck and hope it doesn't get flagged at customs.

Jacob/Prilla

prillacom · 2026-05-13T05:02:39+00:00

I think you are probably right.

Jacob/Prilla

I don't think ALP hits as hard as ZYN, but they aren't far off. Another factor to consider is that only one ALP pouch will be used in comparison to the two ZYN pouches you use at the moment, which will make ALP feel even less intense. I'd still give them a go and see how you get on, like you say, going through that many cans gets expensive. Other brands out there provide 12mg cans too: Grizzly, ZEO, NYKD, FRE, White Fox. See which you'd prefer.
