No One. I Repeat, No One, Needs 50mg Nicotine Pouches…
If you think you need a 50mg nicotine pouch, you don’t. It is incredibly strong, so strong, in fact, that when I tested one out a few months back I had to go and lay down for 30 minutes.
I knew the pouch would be strong but given my background and experience, I figured I could handle it. I could not. I find 35mg nic salts too much, but I used to run 20mg daily before tapering down to 10mg, where I’m at right now.
I knew about Pablo pouches, after seeing them in my local shop. And because they’re sold freely to the general public, not via specialist retailers, I figured I’d probably be fine. Kind of like supermarket-bought hot sauce; it’s never that bad compared to the stuff you buy online. So, I bought a pack, came home, popped one in my mouth and sat down to write a post.
Then Pablo Nicotine Pouches Literally Floored Me…

Within seconds, I started to feel light headed, then the nausea came and a cold sweat. I removed the pouch, but the effect had already taken hold and I was just along for the ride at this point.
I tried to stand up and my legs felt like jelly, so I moved to the sofa, lay down, and had a nap. I then proceeded to have one of the most intense, near-lucid dreams I’ve ever had.
I woke up 90 minutes later and felt like I’d run a 5K.
Nicotine is a helluva drug, but, no, even if you’re an absolute fiend for it like me, you definitely do not need 50mg nicotine pouches.
- Go with 15mg nicotine pouches, that’s the sweet spot for most hardcore smokers and veteran pouch users.
- Me? I find 12mg nicotine pouches to be my sweet spot. They’re stong enough to get the job done but not so strong that you get hiccups and feel sick.
- Here’s the best nicotine pouches (that won’t make you puke) that I’ve tested to date.
