XQS
XQS Nicotine Pouches is one of the most innovative nicotine pouch brands Sweden has to offer. Established in Borlänge back in 2003 by two Swedish snus enthusiasts that dreamed of a tobacco free future and today owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, they have gained fans worldwide by embracing flavour like no other brand dares to.
All XQS pouches are completely tobacco free. Every single one is made from plant-based fibres mixed with food grade flavourings and pharmaceutical grade nicotine. Tobacco leaf? Nope. Smoke? Nope. Vapor? Nope. The lightly seasoned material melts softly inside your upper lip and provides even flavour that lasts. If you have read online that XQS is called "snus", please don't be confused. Traditional snus contains tobacco and cannot be sold in the UK. XQS pouches are 100% tobacco free and are legal to sell here, as long as you are aged 18+.
XQS Strength & Format
XQS displays its nicotine strengths with an easy to read dot system on the side of the can. Ranging from zero nicotine strength that still contains caffeine to their extra strong variant.
- Nicotine-Free (0mg (50mg caffeine): Users who still want the pouch format but don’t require nicotine.
- Normal ( 4mg ): Ideal for new users or those who enjoy a lighter more balanced nicotine strength.
- Strong ( 8mg): Perfect for regular users who want a satisfying nicotine hit.
- Extra Strong (9.6mg – 12mg): For experienced users that know their nicotine tolerance.
As mentioned before XQS offer nicotine-free pouches with 50mg of caffeine per pouch. This isn’t something commonly found in the UK nicotine market. All strengths are widely available but if your going to experiment with 9.6mg to 12mg make sure you know your nicotine tolerance.
Each XQS can contains 20 slim pouches. The pouches are made with a soft material designed to sit comfortably under the upper lip, with a drip-free format and balanced flavour and nicotine release. XQS cans also feature a child-resistant opening mechanism.
In short: XQS Pouches offers 0mg, 4mg, 8mg, and 9.6mg–12mg options, with 20 slim pouches per can.

Who should try XQS pouches?
We offer such a wide strength spectrum because we think there’s really an XQS pouch for everyone who uses nicotine as an adult.
- Try XQS Normal (4mg) if you’re new to nicotine pouches or you like your nicotine light and more controlled.
- Try XQS Strong (8mg) if you’re a regular nicotine user looking for a reliable daily pouch with great flavour.
- Try XQS Extra Strong (9.6mg–12mg) if you’re a seasoned nicotine user and find most standard strength pouches too weak.
- Try XQS Nicotine-Free (0mg, 50mg caffeine) if you want all the ritual of a pouch with a functional boost, but no nicotine.
- Don’t try XQS at all if you’ve never used nicotine before, especially not in the form of pouches. Even our lowest strength requires some familiarity with how nicotine feels under the lip.

Peoples Ask for
What are XQS nicotine pouches?
XQS is one of Sweden’s most innovative nicotine pouch brands. Established in Borlänge back in 2003 by two snus lovers with a vision of a tobacco-free future, and now proudly owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, XQS has gone on to amass fans all over the world by doing flavour right. From tobacco-free ingredients and plant-based fibres to food-grade flavourings and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, every pouch is 100% tobacco-free. There’s no tobacco leaf. No smoke. No vapour. Just pop one underneath your top lip and enjoy a smooth, even release that lasts. XQS pouches are legal to purchase in the UK if you are 18 or over.
Are XQS pouches snus?
Nope. Snus contains tobacco which means it can’t be legally sold in the UK. You’ll probably find references to XQS as “snus” online but this isn’t accurate. Although they are both tucked under the lip for use, XQS pouches contain no tobacco. So, while similar in concept and use, they are entirely different (both legally and chemically) products.
What strengths do XQS come in?
The current collection includes 4mg, 8mg and 9.6mg nicotine strengths. Soft Toffee is available at 4mg, most flavours are 8mg, and Chili Mango is listed at 9.6mg.
Is XQS legal in the UK?
XQS nicotine pouches are legal to buy and sell in the UK for customers 18 and over. From 29 October 2026, selling nicotine pouches to anyone under the age of 18 will become a specific offence under the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026. Snus O’Clock performs an age verification check on every order.
How many pouches come in a can of XQS?
20 slim pouches! XQS pouches feel great; they’re soft on your gums, the nicotine release is nicely balanced and the pouches are completely drip-free. The cans themselves also have a child-resistant opening mechanism. Simply twist the lid until you hear or feel a click.
What flavours does XQS offer?
The current XQS collection includes Strawberry Kiwi, Black Cherry, Tropical, Berrynana Twist, Orange Apple, Citrus Cooling, Twin Apple, Hallon Soda, Blueberry Mint, Fruzzle Slim Strong, Chili Mango, Soft Toffee and Hallon Lakrits.
How long do XQS pouches last?
Anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the user. The flavour and nicotine release is consistent throughout your entire session. So unlike snus or chew there’s no need to chew or suck. Simply leave it there and enjoy until the flavour fades.
How to Use XQS Nicotine Pouches
Break the perforation at the top of the can, then twist lid until you hear or feel a click. Open the lid one level higher and twist until you hear a second click. Take one pouch out and place it comfortably under your top lip. Leave it for 5-10 minutes to feel the nicotine kick in, then enjoy! Leave the pouch in place for 20-40 minutes depending on your preference. When you’re finished, dispose of the pouch responsibly by opening the small compartment underneath the lid and placing it inside. Alternatively, wrap it in some paper and bin it. Always dispose of used pouches responsibly. If you’re new to nicotine pouches, start off with XQS Normal strength and work your way up if you want stronger flavours.
Can you buy XQS online in the UK?
You sure can! We’ve got the whole XQS range available to buy online at Snus O’Clock. From Normal to Strong to Extra Strong and even Nicotine-Free we’ve got all varieties and flavours in stock. Shipping is fast across the UK and comes in discreet packaging. Plus whether you’re buying one can or ten our prices are some of the most competitive around. And don’t forget, we check the age of every customer on every sale.
Do XQS pouches have CBD in them?
Nope. XQS nicotine pouches do not contain CBD or any ingredients derived from cannabis. They contain nicotine, plant-based fibres, water, flavourings and sweeteners. CBD and nicotine are subject to completely separate regulations in the UK.
Are XQS nicotine pouches safe to use?
No nicotine product is 100% free from risk—nicotine is addictive. But because XQS pouches are tobacco-free, they bypass the majority of unpleasant compounds associated with smoking or smokeless tobacco. They are not designed as smoking cessation tools and should not be used to quit smoking. Please use responsibly and always pick a strength you can handle.
Who are XQS pouches for?
If you’re new to nicotine pouches or prefer your nicotine to be mild and manageable, try XQS Normal at 4mg. If you’re a regular pod/vape/user looking for a dependable daily pouch with fantastic flavour, try XQS Strong at 8mg. If you’re a heavy user who finds most brands too weak for you, try XQS Extra Strong from 9.6mg to 12mg. If you like the idea of the pouch experience but don’t want any nicotine, try XQS Nicotine-Free at 0mg. Do not try XQS if you’ve never used nicotine before—even the 4mg pouches will be too strong if you’ve never felt nicotine under your lip.
Which XQS flavour should I try first?
It depends on your taste preferences, but if you’re new to nicotine pouches we recommend starting with Tropical at 4mg. It’s a popular bright, fruity blend of passion fruit and mango flavour at a sensible strength. If you’re into something darker, go with Black Cherry at 4mg. If you like minty flavours, try Blueberry Mint at 4mg for a gentle minty hybrid.
Why should I buy XQS pouches from Snus O'Clock?
We carry every flavour in the UK XQS range across all 4 strengths. We’re quick with our shipping, package everything discreetly, offer the best prices we can on both single cans and multi-buy deals, and run an age verification check on every order.
