What Mathieu thought of XTRIME nicopouches

Packaging
⭐⭐⭐

There's good and bad at cans nicopouches XTRIME.

They are made up of an opaque lid and a transparent base, which comes in handy when you need to quickly see the number of pouches remaining. After all, who hasn't run out of pouches/e-liquids/cigarettes on a Sunday evening, with no possibility of refuelling. With XTRIME, I can avoid this disappointment, a good point.

Like its competitors, the cans XTRIME is equipped with a compartment for disposing of used pouches if you don't have a garbage can to hand. I do, however, have a few reservations about them: the lid doesn't seem to seal very well and is relatively small. So you'll have to make do with using it for a few minutes only, before having to empty it. pouches before having to empty it.

Over the past few years, with the advent of Material Design, visuals have become sleeker and smoother, using numerous flat colors. Although I'm a fan of this type of graphic design, I wasn't entirely convinced by the busy look of the XTRIME nicopouches.

Of course, all the essential information is there: flavor and strength are indicated on the lid website, under the stylized brand logo. Curiously, XTRIME has chosen to conceal the format of the nicopouches: they are indeed pouches Slim, i.e. slightly larger than the Mini format pouches Mini format, but they remain completely invisible under the lip. A Swedish flag on the edge is a reminder of the country of manufacture.

The cans XTRIME stand out from the competition thanks to their lid textured cloud of dots and what I liken to broken ice. I can imagine several advantages to this texture: finding my can nicopouches at the bottom of a bag by touch while sitting in the darkened rooms of a cinema, for example. Practical and unique on the market! 

Flavours and aromas
⭐⭐⭐⭐

While XTRIME's flavors are appreciated by many and not among the most original on the market, they are nonetheless mastered to perfection and won me over.

Lovers of refreshing, mentholated flavors, Neuron Freeze and Arctic Mint will take you through a gustatory blizzard. Or would you rather enjoy a lemonade, lying on the grass in the sunshine? You're in the Garden of Eden with Lime Paradise! Fruit Vibes, a red fruit cocktail for the most gourmand among you!

Olfactively, the aromas are well balanced and easily transcribe the composition of these nicopouches, without being overpowering and aggressive to the sense of smell. I appreciate this. XTRIME's mastery of its subject is undeniable. The taste experience is satisfying: the aromas are balanced and last over time. 

I prefer Neuron Freeze with its delicately sweet spearmint. The immediate refreshment is very pleasant, without being excessive. Even fresher, Arctic Mint is a gustatory expedition north of the Arctic Circle. An assertive gourmand, I also love red fruits (with the exception of cherries, as I mentioned in my XQS nicopouche test), so Fruit Vibes is just right for me. Lime Paradise, with its light, controlled acidity, is a must-try for all lovers of lemony, summery flavors. Le Sud, made in the Swedish North. 

Feeling under the lip
⭐⭐⭐⭐

The pouches XTRIME products are slightly tinted by the flavors used, with the exception of the minty Arctic Mint and Neuron Freeze nicopouches, which are immaculately white.

Under the lip, I had the momentary impression that these nicopouches are denser than those from other manufacturers, but this feeling of compactness quickly dissipates and doesn't interfere with tasting. These pouches are in fact extremely comfortable, and fit easily under the lip, without slipping or needing to be repositioned frequently. An excellent point!

Like the majority of nicotine pouches of nicotine, XTRIME has opted for the Slim format, which proves to be the ideal compromise in terms of comfort and discretion. Barely larger than pouches Mini format, they are invisible under the lip (yes, even without a mask!).

Efficiency and discretion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I found the dosage particularly suited to my nicotine needs: the kick is felt very quickly (this is the advantage of the pouches Standard type, which are designed to be very slightly moist for almost instant nicotine and flavor release). The desire to smoke or vape disappears very quickly, mission accomplished and smoking cessation successful with the help of XTRIME nicofills!

I was impressed by the lifespan of the XTRIME nicopouches: over forty minutes watch (phone...) in hand! A record, and an undeniable advantage, since I don't need to change pouch too often. The nicotine diffuses for a long time, which is very useful in situations where you need to stay focused, such as when driving a car. I really appreciate this longevity, XTRIME is a safe bet for demanding nicotine users!

Conclusion
⭐⭐⭐⭐

XTRIME nicofills have a lot going for them. Longevity, precise nicotine dosage and flavour control make them a sure bet. If you're a nicotine smoker looking for pouches Extra Strong, let yourself be seduced by the XTRIME brand - you won't regret it! I promise you an eXtensive and eXtreme experience!

Nicopouches have become part of my daily routine: I always have a can in my EDC (EveryDay Carry) for several reasons. A can of pouches of nicotine is more compact than the pouch of rolling tobacco + pouch of filters + leaves combo, more solid than a pack of traditional cigarettes, and definitely more aesthetic than the greenish color of plain packs, allowing me to stand out from smokers and assume my style! All these advantages have convinced me that nicopouches are everyday objects that really help me to combat the harmful effects of smoking!
