Nicotine Strengths & Dots - What Do They Mean?
Welcome to our deep dive into the nicotine strengths of All White snus. Have you ever wondered what the dots on the snus can actually symbolize? Or how different nicotine levels affect your experience? In today’s blog post, we will explore exactly that – how the dots correlate with strengths and nicotine levels.
First and foremost: When it comes to the labeling of snus cans, there may be some variations between different brands. While some brands choose to use a system with up to 4 dots to indicate the strength of the snus, others use a 5-dot system. The number of dots helps consumers quickly and easily identify the product’s nicotine strength.
It is important to be aware of these differences when switching between brands in order to understand and compare the strength of the products correctly.
XQS, Loop and Velo show how strong their products are in different ways.
Loop - Strengths, Dots & Nicotine
It can be tricky to understand dots, “strong,” “extra strong,” and so on. Here is an explanation of how it works for Loop’s all white:
Normal mini (15 mg/g): Perfect for beginners or those who prefer a mild nicotine experience. It contains 15 mg of nicotine per gram and provides a balanced sensation. Visually, this is shown on the can as 2 out of 4 dots:
Strong slim (15 mg/g): This also contains 15 mg of nicotine per gram, but it has a more intense flavor and provides a stronger kick. Great for those who enjoy more flavor. Visually, this is shown on the can as 3 out of 4 dots:
Extra strong slim (20 mg/g): If you want more nicotine, Extra strong slim contains 20 mg of nicotine per gram. It provides a powerful nicotine experience without compromising on flavor. Visually, this is shown on the can as 4 out of 4 dots
Hyper strong slim (25 mg/g): For those who want a really high nicotine content, Hyper strong slim is the strongest option, with a full 25 mg of nicotine per gram. It provides an intense and long-lasting effect. Visually, this is shown on the can with the text “HYPER”

XQS Strengths & Dots
XQS nicotine pouches are a little more “straightforward” - currently, they have up to 5 dots, but use 2 dots for light and 4 for strong
XQS currently offers two labels, depending on which flavor you prefer. On the front of the can, there are five dots indicating the nicotine content. Those with two dots have a nicotine content of 8 mg/g of snus, while those with four dots proudly display 20 mg/g of snus.
If you see two dots on a can from XQS, you can expect a “light” experience, with a lower nicotine content. This is clearly indicated on the can’s labeling. For those seeking a stronger kick, the more powerful portions carry the “strong” label on the lid, revealing their higher nicotine strength.
Velo Dots & Nicotine Strengths
Velo nicotine pouches offer a wide range of nicotine strengths to suit different needs and preferences. For those who prefer a milder nicotine experience, there is the 1-dot option, which provides a subtle nicotine kick. For a slightly stronger experience, you can choose 2 dots, providing a somewhat higher nicotine content without being overwhelming.
For those seeking a more noticeable nicotine experience, there are 3 dots, which provide a steady dose of nicotine. This option suits those who are accustomed to nicotine or are looking for a more intense sensation. Finally, for those who prefer a truly powerful nicotine content, Velo offers 4 dots, providing a strong and robust nicotine experience. Finally, we have VELO’s extra strong edition, which contains a full 6 dots and is really strong.
VELO 1 dot: has a relatively low nicotine strength, and the nicotine content is between 1-8 milligrams per gram.
VELO 2 dots: are a regular-strength snus that is completely tobacco-free and comes in several flavors. All VELO products with regular strength have a nicotine content of 8-10 mg/g.
VELO 3 dots: have a nicotine content between 10-16 mg/g. VELO with 3 dots is primarily intended for more experienced consumers
VELO 4 dots: are an extra-strong tobacco-free snus with a high nicotine content. All VELO products with strength 4 have a nicotine content of 15-16 mg/g and come in the slim format.
