Velo vs Nordic Spirit: which is stronger in the UK?
Both brands' UK sites state a 17 mg top pouch. Nordic Spirit's five tiers and Velo's three ranges set side by side, with the four figures retailers print.
Zone, reviewed: Imperial Brands' pouch range in five flavours and two milligram figures
Five flavours, a strength ladder one milligram wide, 20 pouches at a £6.50 RSP — and a flavour-to-strength mapping that, as the trade report prints it, puts one flavour on both sides of the line.
ZIG, reviewed: Republic Technologies' first pouch range, six flavours and a 17 mg top tier
Six flavours, three milligram figures, and no strength word attached to any of them in the trade reports — while the one live UK listing this desk could find shows a dot scale and MAX on the lid, a price below the RRP, and the unit finally stated.
Nordic Spirit's Mini can, reviewed: 14 pouches, three strengths, and a 'Regular' worth two numbers
Mini cans hold 14 pouches to the standard tin's 20 at about the same price a pouch on multibuy. Strengths 3 to 9 mg, and why 'Regular' varies.
