Nicotine pouches have quickly become one of the most popular alternatives to vaping and smoking, and going into 2026 their popularity shows no signs of slowing down. With more people looking for discreet, smoke-free and vape-free nicotine options, nicotine pouches (also known as snus) are now a go-to choice for adult nicotine users across the UK.
Whether you’re looking for maximum strength, an everyday pouch, or something that helps you transition away from vaping or smoking, we’ve rounded up our top 5 nicotine pouches of 2026 to help make choosing the right option as easy as possible.
Best For: Very Experienced Nicotine Pouch Users. 30mg per pouch, 50mg per gram.
Taking the number one spot in 2026 is the Pablo Exclusive 50mg range, one of the strongest nicotine pouch options available. These pouches are designed for users with a very high nicotine tolerance who want fast and powerful craving relief.
At 50mg, Pablo Exclusive is not suitable for beginners and should only be used if you already have experience with strong nicotine products. Despite the high strength, the pouches themselves are discreet and comfortable making them ideal for short sessions when you need a strong hit.
They have a large flavour range, with popular flavours like kiwi, blue raspberry and bubblegum, and more classic flavours such as liquorice and green mint. If ou like the look of the Pablo range but want something in a lower strength, you can try their 17mg Gold Edition range or their Dry 30mg range.
These are available on a 3 for £9.99 offer on our website with free shipping over £20 and same day dispatch 7 days a week!
Best For: Everyday Use & Lower Nicotine Intake. 10mg per pouch, 15.3mg per gram.
Coming in at number two is VELO’s 10mg nicotine pouch range, a much lower strength option that’s perfect for all-day use. These are ideal if you’re new to nicotine pouches, looking to reduce your nicotine intake, or simply want something convenient for on the go.
The 10mg strength provides a steady and controlled nicotine release without being overpowering. VELO also have a great flavour range, from fresh mint flavours to lighter fruity options making them a popular choice with our customers; they’re also available in a huge range of different strengths:

Best For: Switching From Disposable Vapes. 20mg per pouch (per gram strength not listed).
Elf Bar are already one of the most recognisable brands in the vaping industry, and their Elf Snus nicotine pouches have quickly become a favourite for people moving away from disposable vapes or smoking.
The 20mg Elf Snus offers a great balance between strength and usability. It’s strong in terms of the nicotine per pouch, but still manageable for users who don’t want to jump straight into ultra-high strengths. They are also available in both 6mg and 12mg for those of you that love the brand but want something in a lower strength.
The flavours will feel instantly familiar if you’ve previously used Elf Bar disposables, making the transition to nicotine pouches much smoother. These pouches are discreet, tobacco-free, and extremely easy to use, which is why they sit comfortably at number three on our list.
These are available on a 4 for £10 offer on our website with free shipping over £20 and same day dispatch 7 days a week!
Best For: Maximum Strength Nicotine Hit. 43mg per pouch, 66mg per gram.
At number four we have the Cuba Black 66mg pouches, one of the strongest nicotine pouches available so far in 2026. With an extremely high nicotine content, these pouches are strictly for experienced users only.
Cuba Black delivers a very intense and long-lasting nicotine hit, making them suitable for short use rather than regular use. Due to the strength, we would only recommend these if you already use high-strength nicotine pouches regularly.
As with most pouches on the market, the flavour range is pretty decent, with flavours like Jogurt, raspberry and pineapple, and more neutral flavours like cold dry and double fresh.
Best For: Balanced Strength & Flavour. 13.2mg per pouch, 16.5mg per gram.
Rounding off our top 5 for 2026 is the Killa 16.5mg range, a great middle-ground option for users who want something stronger than entry-level pouches, but not overwhelming.
KIlla nicotine pouches are well known for their bold flavours and slim pouch format, and the 16.5mg strength is ideal if you’re stepping up from lower strengths or transitioning away from vaping. They also have a lot more neutral flavours than the other ranges we’ve mentioned in this blog, and a few coffee options too for those of you that enjoy a more unique flavour. If you do like fruity flavours however, they have their Killa Exclusive range also in 16.5mg which you can find here. This range has the more classic flavours in it such as blue raspberry and lemonade.
The Killa 16.5mg pouches are available on a 3 for £9.99 offer on our website with free shipping over £20 and same day dispatch 7 days a week!
