NEAFS – Blueberry Ice Strong 12mg

In the middle of three strengths, NEAFS Blueberry Ice 12mg keeps the berry and mint pairing with half as much nicotine again as the Regular can. It is labelled Strong, with three of four drops filled. Each can holds 25 slim pouches.

The middle rung of NEAFS Blueberry Ice

Below it sits NEAFS Blueberry Ice 8mg; above it, NEAFS Blueberry Ice 16mg. The NEAFS Blueberry Ice 12mg can is the natural next step once 8mg starts to feel light and a full XStrong seems like too big a jump. Each step on this ladder adds 4mg per pouch: 8mg, 12mg, then 16mg.

Berry and mint at a firmer dose

Blueberry still leads, with mint cooling the back end. Retail listings give identical blueberry and mint notes for each strength, so stepping up changes the dose rather than the taste. What you will notice is the nicotine underneath, which is more present here than in the 8mg can. If the 8mg felt pleasant but brief, this is the can that gives the same taste with more weight behind it.

How it compares with ZYN Blueberry Mint Slim 11mg

ZYN Blueberry Mint Slim 11mg is the closest cross-brand match: a berry-and-mint slim that is one milligram lighter. ZYN packs 20 pouches at 16.2mg per gram, so its pouches are larger and less concentrated. The NEAFS can holds 25, each at 20mg per gram, in the same purple-blue livery as the lighter Blueberry Ice can. Pick ZYN for a lighter, larger pouch and NEAFS for a denser one with more pouches in the tin.
