XQS nicotine pouches at Whitelip

Whitelip sells XQS in Slim and Mini. Slim pouches are long and narrow, and every XQS product here is a Slim apart from Cool Ice Mini. Mini pouches are smaller, and Cool Ice Mini contains 4 mg of nicotine and is dry. Where the moisture type is stated, the XQS Slim pouches are moist. Every XQS can holds 20 pouches. Each product page states the flavour, format and nicotine content per pouch, so products can be compared side by side.

Every XQS flavour, from fruit to mint

The XQS range at Whitelip falls into these flavour groups:

• Fruit and berries: BerryNana Twist, Black Cherry, Blueberry Mint, Fruzzle, Raspberry Blackcurrant, Strawberry Kiwi, Tropical, Twin Apple
• Citrus: Cactus Sour, Citrus Cooling, Elderflower, Orange Apple
• Cola and soda: Fizzy Cola, Hallonsoda (Raspberry)
• Mint: Arctic Freeze, Cool Ice Mini

Hallonsoda is Swedish for raspberry soda. The flavour names are XQS's own product names. Words such as Arctic, Freeze or Fizzy are part of the name. They do not describe the strength or the format.

Citrus Cooling and Tropical come in both 4 mg and 8 mg. XQS also puts words such as Light, Strong or Ultra Strong in some product names. In the XQS range at Whitelip, products named Light contain 4 mg and products named Strong contain 8 mg per pouch. These words are XQS's own labels and do not match the labels other brands use, so mg per pouch is the figure to compare between brands.
