How to Use Nicotine Pouches Properly (Tips for New Users in Ireland)
A Beginner’s Guide to Getting the Most from PABLO, Après, Iceberg & More
🟢 Intro
If you’re new to nicotine pouches, you’re not alone — they’re quickly becoming one of the most popular nicotine alternatives in Ireland. But with so many brands, strengths, and flavours, it’s important to know how to use them properly to avoid side effects and get the best possible experience.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use nicotine pouches, common mistakes to avoid, and the brands our customers in Ireland love most — including PABLO, Après, Camo, Wasted, Rage, Iceberg, Greatest Cold Dry, and more.
🟩 What Are Nicotine Pouches?
Nicotine pouches are tobacco-free, smoke-free, and vapour-free alternatives to smoking and vaping. They’re small white pouches that sit under your upper lip and release nicotine and flavour through your gums over 20–45 minutes.
You can use them:
-
Anywhere – no smoke, no vapour, no smell
-
Discreetly – ideal for work, commuting, or nights out
-
Without inhaling – easier on your lungs than smoking or vaping
🟩 Step-by-Step: How to Use a Nicotine Pouch
-
Open the can and take out one pouch.
-
Place it under your upper lip, to the left or right side.
-
Don’t chew or suck it — just let it sit.
-
-
Leave it in place for 20 to 45 minutes.
-
A slight tingling or burning is normal at first.
-
-
Dispose of the pouch in a bin — or use the built-in lid compartment found on most cans.
💡 Pro Tip: Avoid switching sides too often or overusing strong pouches — especially as a beginner.
🟩 Tips for New Users in Ireland
✅ Start with mild to moderate strength to avoid dizziness or nausea:
-
Après 9mg – Mint, Grape Ice, Wild Strawberry
-
Peak 12mg – Pineapple Mint, Icy Cola
-
Puff & Pouch – A smoother hit, ideal for casual use
✅ Drink water beforehand – a dry mouth can reduce nicotine absorption.
✅ Don’t overdo it – if you’re new, space them out over the day.
✅ Know your strength – higher nicotine isn’t always better. If you're switching from light smoking or vaping, 9–12mg is more than enough to start.
🟩 Stronger Options (For Experienced Users)
Once you’ve built some tolerance, you might try stronger pouches:
-
Camo 20mg – Grape Ice, Watermelon Ice, Blueberry
-
Wasted Edit 20mg – Raspberry Ice, Apple Ice
-
Rage Edit 20mg – Lemoncello, Ice Pop
-
Iceberg 20mg/50mg – Cherry, Mint, Fruity combos
-
Greatest Cold Dry XL 50mg – For those wanting an extreme kick
-
PABLO 50mg – Banana Ice, Frosted Mint, Orange, Strawberry Lychee
⚠️ Warning: These pouches are very strong — only for experienced users!
🟩 Zyn, Nordic Spirit & Lyft: Popular But Not Always Available
Many people in Ireland search for Zyn, Nordic Spirit, and Lyft — and while they’re popular internationally, OB Vape customers prefer the stronger, better-value brands we stock.
Our selection is carefully chosen based on:
-
Strength variety
-
Flavour quality
-
Pouch comfort & duration
-
EU TPD compliance
🟩 How Long Does a Pouch Last?
Most pouches stay effective for 20 to 45 minutes. You’ll feel the strongest nicotine hit within the first 10–15 minutes. Once the flavour and tingle fade, remove and bin it.
🗑 Pro Tip: Don’t reuse pouches. Once it’s spent, it’s done.
