Après vs Nordic Spirit – The Better Choice for Everyday Use in Ireland

Flavour, Strength & Experience Compared | OB Vape’s Irish Buyer Breakdown


🟢 Intro

If you're new to nicotine pouches or looking to upgrade your daily option, you’ve likely seen two of the most searched names: Après and Nordic Spirit.

While Nordic Spirit has long been one of the more recognised international brands, Après is quickly becoming the top choice among Irish users — offering smoother textures, better flavour variety, and a nicotine hit that feels just right.

In this comparison guide, we’ll look at both options, covering:

  • Nicotine strength

  • Flavour selection

  • Pouch feel & comfort

  • Value for Irish buyers

Let’s break it down.


🟩 Brand Overview

🧊 Nordic Spirit

  • Made in Sweden

  • Often sold in UK supermarkets or pharmacies

  • Offers 6mg and 9mg strengths

  • Known for subtle, mild flavours like Mint, Elderflower, and Berry

🌿 Après

  • Premium, design-forward brand from Sweden

  • Available in Ireland at OB Vape

  • Offers 9mg and 15mg strengths

  • Known for rich, layered flavours like Grape Ice, Wild Strawberry, Mint, and more

  • Softer pouches with excellent mouthfeel


🟩 Strength Comparison

Brand Strengths Available Best For
Nordic Spirit 6mg, 9mg Light smokers or casual users
Après 9mg, 15mg Daily users, moderate ex-smokers

➡️ Après offers more flexibility for daily use. With both standard (9mg) and slightly stronger (15mg) options, it provides a more satisfying experience for people cutting down from smoking or disposables.


🟩 Flavour Range Comparison

Flavour Style Nordic Spirit Après
Mint ✅ Yes ✅ Yes – multiple mint options
Fruity ⚪ Basic berry options ✅ Wild Strawberry, Grape Ice
Unique/Layered ❌ Limited ✅ Complex, rich blends
Sweetness Level Low Medium (balanced)

➡️ Après wins on flavour variety and strength. If you’re someone who enjoyed Lost Mary or Elf Bar-style flavours, you’ll feel right at home with Après.


🟩 Pouch Texture & Comfort

  • Nordic Spirit: Dry-style pouch, firm texture

  • Après: Softer, moist pouches with a smoother feel under the lip

If you plan to use pouches multiple times a day, Après is noticeably more comfortable for extended daily use, with less gum irritation and better flavour release over time.


🟩 Value for Irish Buyers
