Killa Exclusive Cold Dry Nicotine Pouches

Killa Exclusive Cold Dry is a slim, all white pouch with a stripped back cold mint flavour and very little sweetness. Each tobacco free pouch holds 13.2mg of nicotine and there are 20 to a can. The brand belongs to NGP, Nicotine General Products, based in Denmark.

What Cold Dry tastes like

The clue is in the name. This is cold first and sweet almost not at all, a bare mint chill without the candied edge that a lot of menthol pouches carry. Some people describe it as the most bracing thing in the range, and it is generally chosen by users who actively dislike sugary flavourings.

Next to Killa Cold Mint, which keeps a rounder mint sweetness alongside the cooling, Cold Dry is the more austere option of the two. Try Cold Mint if this proves too severe. Both are shelved with the rest of the Killa collection.

What 13.2mg per pouch actually means

Strength on a pouch can be written two ways and only one of them is a dose. Killa cans show 16.5mg/g, a concentration, next to 13.2mg, which is what a single pouch contains. The link between them is weight: a pouch is 0.8g, and 13.2 shared over 0.8g comes out at 16.5mg per gram. Elsewhere in the UK you will see 16mg/g sitting beside 13.2mg per pouch, and the maths does not survive contact with the pouch weight, since 16 times 0.8 equals 12.8. Weight is the number nobody prints. It is in our table, so the sum is yours to redo.

Who these are for

Anyone who wants cold without sugar will get on with this, and it is a common pick for people who use a pouch while working rather than as a treat. Against the softer brands stocked in corner shops, Killa arrives with noticeably more behind it, so give 13.2mg a bit of room if you are stepping up. Strong, without being at the far end of the market. Once 13.2mg fades into the background, Pablo Exclusive at 30mg a pouch is the next rung, from the same producer in Denmark.

How to use Killa nicotine pouches

1. Pick out one pouch and position it between your top lip and gum.
2. From then on it stays put, with no chewing and nothing swallowed.
3. A tingle in the opening minute is standard and nothing to worry about.
4. End the session by removing the pouch and putting it in the bin, treating 30 minutes as the outer limit and stopping earlier if 13.2mg is new territory.

Killa Exclusive Cold Dry Nicotine Pouches FAQs

Is Cold Dry snus?

No. The killa snus label has stuck through habit, but snus is defined by its tobacco content and oral tobacco is not sold legally in Britain. There is no tobacco leaf in this product, which is what keeps it on the right side of UK law.

What do you get in a can?

A can contains 20 pouches.

How long do I keep one in for?

Half an hour is about the ceiling, though plenty of people are done in fifteen minutes.

Is Killa the same strength as Pablo?

No, there is a wide gap, with 13.2mg in a Killa pouch and 30mg in a Pablo Exclusive one.

How should the can be stored?

Keep it cool and dry and press the lid shut so the pouches do not dry out.

Safety and age restriction

Sold to over 18s only, and only to people who already use nicotine. Nicotine is addictive. Non smokers should not start with these, and neither should anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. These pouches are not risk free. Store cans out of the reach of children and animals, and if you feel sick or lightheaded, take the pouch out and stop.
