Today we're going to be talking about a new line of nicotine pouches for the US market: Rush Nicotine Pouches! These are products sold by Alternative Nicotine Technologies (ANT), and produced by our friends at Dholakia in India! They also make the Frē Nicotine Pouches and 2One Nicotine Pouches, which I enjoyed, so I was excited to try these! These products, like those, are 100% tobacco free. Most nicotine pouches contain nicotine derived from tobacco, but these are 100% tobacco free, containing synthetic nicotine! These products come in a 10 gram can, with 20 portions, for 0.5g portions. They come in two strengths. The 3mg one is 3mg/portion, which would be a total nicotine of 6mg/g (0.6%). The 7mg one is 7mg/portion, which would be 14mg/g total, or 1.4%.
Rush Nicotine Pouches: Winter Blast
Rush Nicotine Pouches: Citrus
Rush Nicotine Pouches: Cinnabuzz
Rush Nicotine Pouches: Winter Blast
Flavor Description: "Experience the fresh blends of spearmint bringing you back to a cool winter day, with our Winter Blast Nicotine Pouches. This flavor filled pouch leaves behind a cooling sensation, while delivering your nicotine".
Review: I thought this one was going to be straight up wintergreen, but was surprised when I opened the can to smell of a mix of wintergreen with some spearmint! The portions are slim, pretty soft, and comfortable under the lip. Being a mint product, there's also a nice cooling presence that comes along with the mint character. In the flavor, there's a present taste of wintergreen and spearmint. It's lightly sweet, and pretty well balanced. For the 3mg one, it feels a little less than regular strength, and the 7mg one feels right at regular strength. The flavor, on average, seems to last about 30-40 minutes.
Flavor Description: "Experience the refreshing blended mint bringing you back to a cool and brisk day with our MINTSANITY tobacco-free nicotine pouches. This flavor-filled pouch leaves behind a soft and cooling sensation, while giving you great nicotine enjoyment."
Review: The aroma of this one is a smooth, present, lightly sweet aroma of peppermint. The portion is slim, semi-dry, but soft and comfortable with a nice cooling presence in the lip. The flavor is pretty good! It's a nice peppermint taste, but not too sharp. It's a smooth, lightly sweet peppermint. For the 3mg one, it feels less than regular strength, and the 7mg one feels right at regular strength. I find the flavor to last about 30-40 minutes on average.
Flavor Description: "Let the bitter and sweet blends of bubbling citrus crush into your senses, with our CITRUS Tobacco Free Nicotine Pouches. Refreshing like a summer day, all year round. This flavor is an intense experience for any adult who wants to escape the norm and enjoy their nicotine - with an exciting flavor combination, indulge your senses."
Review: When you open the can, the aroma is a sour citrus smell. The portions are slim, semi-dry, but have a soft portion material and are comfortable under the lip. The flavor is a nice lemony taste. It's a little tart, a little sweet, but pretty well balanced. In terms of strength, the 3mg one feels a little less than regular strength, and the 7mg one feels around regular strength. The flavor, on average, lasts about 30-40 minutes.
Flavor Description: "Set your senses buzzing with RUSH's sweet & woody flavored Cinnamon Buzz Tobacco Free Nicotine Pouches. Packing a powerful punch of warming spices, Cinnamon Buzz delights the senses. For lovers of cinnamon, this flavor adds a little extra to your nicotine experience."
Review: This one has a big cinnamon smell to it; it's slightly spicy, and mildly sweet. The portions are slim, pretty soft, comfortable under the lip, and come with a mild burn. The flavor is a pretty nice taste of cinnamon. It's present, slightly spicy, and mildly sweet. For the 3mg one, it feels a little less than regular strength, and the 7mg one feels right at regular strength. The flavor, on average, lasts about 30-40 minutes.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I've said it before, but Dholakia is making some solid nicotine pouch products for the US market. I've been impressed with them all so far. Decent can designs, solid flavors, good nicotine delivery, and some of the softtest portions of the nicotine pouches available to the US. Cinnabuzz and Mintsanity were my favorites of the 4, rating at 3/5. Citrus and Winterblast came in right behind them at 2.92/5. I was pretty impressed with these products, and I'm glad to see folks in the US getting some more options! If you're interested in trying them, hit up their website - https://www.rushnic.com!
