Nicotine pouch strength guide: 6 mg, 9 mg, 15 mg and 21 mg
What the milligram number means, the four strengths OVNS makes, and how to tell which can you are holding.
What "mg" means on a can
The number on a can of nicotine pouches is the amount of nicotine in one pouch, measured in milligrams. A 9 mg can holds 20 pouches of 9 mg each — it is not 9 mg for the whole tin.
Strengths are not comparable across brands as directly as the numbers suggest, because pouch size, moisture and formulation all affect how a pouch behaves. Treat the number as a guide within a single brand's range.
The four OVNS strengths
Every OVNS flavor is made in all four. The flavor is identical across them — only the nicotine content changes.
How to identify the strength of an OVNS can
This is the part that causes the most confusion for shopkeepers and customers, so it is worth reading twice.
Every OVNS lid is printed with four dots. Some of those dots are dark and some are faded. Only the dark dots count, and each dark dot adds 3 mg above 9 mg.
So a lid with two dark dots and two faded dots is a 15 mg can, even though there are four dots printed on it. A lid with all four dark is 21 mg. If none of the dots are dark, the strength is whatever number is printed on the back of the can — 6 mg or 9 mg.
Which strength should you choose?
If you have not used nicotine pouches before, 6 mg is the lowest strength OVNS makes and the sensible place to start. You can move up later. Going straight to the top of the range is not a good introduction to the product.
