Fully Loaded is a manufacturer of tobacco-free alternatives. In the past, I've reviewed their
Fully Loaded Pouches, which are kind of a dip pouch-alternative. They also make long cut tobacco-free dip, as well. Now, it looks like they're expanding into the nicotine pouch/all white category with their White Nicotine Pouches. I got ahold of their new wintergreen flavor and thought I'd give it a spin! These are made in the US, and contain synthetic nicotine. While some other nicotine pouches have tobacco-derived nicotine, these are completely tobacco free. Their
description for this one says it delivers "
a fresh wintergreen flavor and tobacco-free nicotine in a clean smokeless and spitless pouch. The fresh wintergreen flavor grows into a perfect balance of mint with a hint of sweetness".
What's neat about these are the size. While other nicotine pouches on the market may be the mini size, or the slim size, these are the full size. You can see them on the far right compared with a snus portion (left) and a dip pouch (middle). I weighed the can out at 9 grams, and counted 15 portions, which would put them at 0.6 grams each. They are a little lighter in weight, but I hear they may be adding more to the pouch with future releases. In terms of nicotine, the can says 4mg. I'm not sure if it's 4mg/g, or 4mg/portion, however. Now, let's check out these pouches.
When you open the can, a present wintergreen aroma greets you. It is very much that straight-up, American wintergreen taste. It's slightly minty, as well. The pouches are pretty nice. They're super soft to the touch and not overly dry and stiff. They have a great fit in the lip, but I wish they were a bit more plump. In the flavor profile, it's a pretty straightforward wintergreen taste. It's not too bold, not too weak. There's also just a hint of mint in the background, as well. In terms of nicotine strength, they are a little on the lighter side, but I do notice some nicotine delivery with them. Just not a truckload or anything. The flavor longevity isn't too bad, about 30-40 minutes on average, which I notice to be common with a lot of nicotine pouches on the market.
Rating and Final Thoughts
I was pretty impressed with these. I'm not a big wintergreen user, nor am I a big nicotine pouch user, so these rated for me at 3.33/5. That may sound low, but don't fret, I've found any nicotine pouch I rate at 3 or higher to be a decent one. Honestly, I think if these pouches had just a little more to them and were pushed to 0.8 or 0.9 grams, they could be some of the best nicotine pouches on the market. I hear they're working on other flavors, so I'll be curious to see how these develop.
