RELX Airpouch – Spearmint Fresh 9mg

The gentlest way into RELX, RELX Spearmint Fresh 9mg is the lowest strength the brand makes, a Strong-level spearmint in the ultra-thin AirPouch. It lets you try the RELX format without jumping straight to 14mg, the dose most of the range is built around. RELX sells just three strengths, 9mg, 14mg and 20mg, so there is no lighter RELX can than this one.

Where RELX Spearmint Fresh 9mg leads next

Spearmint Fresh is the only RELX flavour we carry at three strengths, which makes it the natural ladder inside the brand. Moving up to RELX Spearmint Fresh 14mg adds 5mg per pouch at Extra Strong, and RELX Spearmint Fresh 20mg tops the line at Ultra Strong. The flavour and the pouch stay identical at every step, so only the dose changes.

What a sub-1mm pouch changes

Spearmint is the softer, sweeter relative of peppermint, and in a pouch this thin it sits right against the gum. RELX cuts each AirPouch as a 25 x 13mm leaf under 1mm thick, so there is almost nothing to feel once it is in place. The brand also says its DuraPress design delivers nicotine up to twice as fast as a conventional pouch, which can make 9mg feel livelier than the number implies.

• Per pouch: 9mg
• Per gram: 90mg, from the supplier’s 2g can weight
• Strength: Strong
• Format: AirPouch, ultra-thin leaf
• Count: 20 pouches
• Ingredients per RELX: plant-based fibres, food-grade flavourings, nicotine

If you would rather stay with a conventional pouch at a similar dose, VELO Mini Crispy Peppermint 8mg is a close peppermint alternative. It is also a low-risk way to find out whether the ultra-thin feel suits you before committing to a stronger can. Cola, lemon and strawberry sit alongside the mints in every RELX flavour.
