LOOP Strong – Jalapeno Lime 9.4mg

Green chilli and fresh lime share the slim pouch in LOOP Jalapeno Lime 8.9mg, the Strong version of the brand’s hot citrus flavour. The lime opens bright and sharp, and the jalapeno adds a steady warmth behind it. Of the three slim strengths we list, this is the mildest.

Jalapeno Lime at 8.9mg: the first rung

LOOP makes this flavour in five versions: Mini, Medium, Strong, Extra Strong and Hyper Strong. This Strong can rates 3/5 on the brand’s scale, and a full can holds 177mg of nicotine in total. Next up is LOOP Jalapeno Lime Extra Strong 11.8mg at 4/5, then LOOP Jalapeno Lime 14.8mg Hyper Strong at the very top.

When to reach for the Strong can

Swedish retailers have listed this can since March 2020, which makes it one of the longest-running flavours LOOP sells. A practical way to use the ladder is to keep the Strong for the working day and the Extra Strong for when you want more, since the flavour description is the same and only the nicotine changes. It also suits citrus fans who find plain lime pouches a bit flat.

Lime and green chilli in balance

The lime is zesty and a little sour, like a squeeze of fresh juice. Jalapeno brings a green, slightly vegetal warmth rather than a scorching burn, and it builds gradually on the lip. At this strength, LOOP Jalapeno Lime 8.9mg lets the flavour lead because the nicotine is not crowding it.
