On Nicopouches.fr, every description mentions a delivery time. It corresponds to the diffusion of the flavour and nicotine. How long should they keep it in their mouth ? On average, a nicotine pouch is to be maintained for 20 to 45 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes. You can choose the duration of diffusion according to the size of our nicopouche. The bigger nicopods you choose, the longer it releases nicotine. For a long length, between 40 and 60 minutes, use a large nicotine pod. For a medium one, between 30 and 45 minutes, take delight in a slim or superslim pod. For a brief tasting (between 25 and 35 minutes), have a size mini.

After this time in the mouth, your nicopouche no longer releases anything. Throw it away in a waste bin or put it in the compartment on the top of the box. Discover our advice to choose the right format.
