CHAINPOP – Violet Cactus 5mg

Violet pastilles, a nostalgic Swedish sweet, are the starting point for Chainpop Violet Cactus 5mg, with a cactus note added for bite. It is the least conventional pairing in the range, and the brand openly admits people tend to love it or hate it. At 5mg, it is an easy can to try without committing to a strong dose.

What violet tastes like

Violet is a floral, perfumed sweetness, most familiar in Sweden from small tins of pastilles, with a faint liquorice-like edge some people notice straight away. Chainpop’s notes call it nostalgic and hard to pin down, and Swedish retailer Snusbolaget files the flavour under liquorice. The cactus is there to add a little sting, giving the floral sweetness something sharper to lean against.

Who should try Chainpop Violet Cactus

If you enjoy floral sweets or liquorice, it is worth a can at 5mg, rated 2 of 4 by the producer and Regular on our site. Each 0.6 g pouch holds its dose at 8.3mg per gram, so the flavour does the talking rather than the nicotine. It also makes a curious second can to keep beside a fruit or mint favourite, though if you only ever reach for those, Chainpop Violet Cactus 5mg may not be your can.

• Nicotine content: 5mg a pouch
• Nicotine density: 8.3mg per gram
• Strength: Regular (site), 2/4 (producer)

For another pouch that is neither fruit nor mint, compare ACE Slim Eucalyptus 6mg, which is cooler and more herbal where violet stays sweet. If you would rather stay sweet but step up in strength, Chainpop Peach & Honey 9mg is the next can to try, and Chainpop’s full line-up covers every pairing.
