CHAINPOP – Mint & Mellow 5mg

Soft spearmint and a low dose make Chainpop Mint Mellow 5mg the calm, everyday mint in a range better known for bold flavour pairings. Where Peppermint & Ice is built to bite, this one is deliberately easy-going. The brand’s own summary is simply fresh mint with low nicotine, and it is one of only two mint flavours Chainpop makes.

Spearmint, not peppermint

Chainpop’s notes describe Mint & Mellow as spearmint, which matters if you have only tried peppermint pouches. Spearmint is sweeter and rounder, with less of the menthol sharpness that makes eyes water, so the freshness builds gently instead of hitting all at once. It suits long sessions at a desk, or the first pouch of the morning before anything stronger. Chainpop’s write-up leans into that calm theme, pitching it as the no-drama pouch of the range.

Who Chainpop Mint Mellow 5mg suits

At 8mg of nicotine per gram, every 0.6 g pouch carries 5mg, which we list as Regular. That makes it a fit for new pouch users, for people stepping down from a stronger mint, or for anyone who prefers a light dose they can use through the day. Should you want the same brand at full strength, Peppermint & Ice sits at 11.4mg, more than twice this can.

• Nicotine per pouch: 5mg
• Nicotine concentration: 8mg/g
• Our strength level: Regular
• Format: Slim
• Pouches in each can: 20
• Net weight: 12 g, roughly 0.6 g a pouch

Spearmint fans can also compare VELO Simply Spearmint 4mg, a smaller mini pouch with a slightly lower dose, or go lighter still with ZYN Mini Dry Spearmint 3mg. Both are mini formats, so they sit lower in the lip than this slim pouch. Fruit flavours at the same strength are on our Chainpop page.
