At Übbs Pouches we often get asked if nicotine pouches are better than vaping. You might think we’re biased but it’s with good reason and strong facts!
When you think of all the available products in the market, it’s easy to assume that vape pens or e-cigarettes are the most popular. Well, over the past few years, one in 400 people in Great Britain use nicotine pouches*, and for good reason! Smokers and vapers have decided to make the switch to pouches because, after all, there’s no tobacco, no inhaling of carcinogens, and no nasty second-hand smoke! If you’ve considered making the switch and are looking for an unmatched nicotine experience (minus the nasty smog), then you’ve come to the right place. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the differences between vaping and nicotine pouches…
Here’s the facts on nicotine pouches vs vaping:
So, what’s the real difference between vaping and nicotine pouches? Let’s see a breakdown…
A vape pen, or vaping, is an e-cigarette that uses a battery-powered heating element to turn e-liquid into vapour. This vapour is then inhaled, similar to a cigarette, but without the tar and other carcinogens that come from burning tobacco leaves.
Nicotine pouches, like our Übbs Pouches, are placed between your upper lip and gums where it releases nicotine and some tasty flavours into the body. Keep your pouch in for up to 30 minutes and let Übbs do its thing. Our small (but mighty) Übbs Pouches are made from water, plant-based materials, flavourings, sweeteners, and nicotine. Which means, we don’t include any smoke, odour, tobacco, or vape! They also come in two different strengths dependent on your needs. Nicotine pouches are one of the most discreet nicotine replacement options and are easy to use – so you won’t have to be searching for a smoking area to indulge in your nicotine experience.
Are nicotine pouches better than vaping?
Well… let's put it this way… yes - we think so! And here’s why:
- Rolling in at reason number one, nicotine pouches are smokeless. Unlike vapes, which involve inhaling vaporised substances, nicotine pouches are entirely smokeless.
- Vaping can burn a hole in your pocket. No, not literally, but it is expensive compared to nicotine pouches. Vaping devices, e-liquids, and other accessories can be pricey. A nicotine pouch, on the other hand, is relatively inexpensive and doesn’t require any supplies once you’ve purchased the pouch. If you’re curious to know how much people spend on smoking, look no further. Read our article on a breakdown of costs for smoking alternatives.
- Some people prefer the way that a nicotine pouch feels in their mouth compared to vaping. Vaping can be more hassle than nicotine pouches, devices tend to be complicated to use and take a long time to get the hang of. There are many different kinds of vapes, each with their own quirks and specific instructions for use. It can take time to figure out how each device works, especially for new vapers.
- Nicotine pouches are discreet and don’t smell like vapour. You don’t have to worry about vaping in public or smelling up your home or car with an e-cigarette smell. Unlike e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches release nicotine without any vapour. It doesn’t have the same strong smell that comes from heating e-liquid.
- Nicotine pouches aren’t as messy as vaping. There’s no need to worry about e-liquid spills, dirt, and grime buildup, or having a big contraption on your desk at work. Simply pop out a pouch, place it in your mouth and, once you’re done, dispose of it in the general waste or in the top of the can!
Many people like the flavours of vapes compared to cigarettes but people don’t realise that nicotine pouches can come in tantalising flavours. Our Übbs Pouches come in six different flavours, from cool menthol to juicy berry. Nicotine pouches, like our ones, can come in a variety of strengths, for those people that might want a little more nicotine from their pouch. At Übbs, we offer pouches in both 6mg and 11mg of nicotine.
