STNG – Mellow Mint 9.2mg

Mellow is the key word in STNG Mellow Mint 9.2mg, a softer mint in a slim, all-white pouch at the brand’s Regular strength. STNG is a Swedish brand, pronounced “Sting”, and this is its only mint below MAX. It is also the lighter of the two STNG mints by a wide margin: 9.2mg against 27.5mg.

A Regular-only mint

STNG uses two different mint names for its two strengths. Mellow Mint exists only at 9.2mg, while the MAX line swaps it for Double Mint at 27.5mg. So if you like this can and want more nicotine, the flavour changes as well as the strength; there is no Mellow Mint MAX.

STNG Mellow Mint next to other mint pouches

At 9.2mg it sits in our Strong level, the band from 7.5mg to 10.9mg. Two mint alternatives sit a step above it: CLEW Wintergreen at 10mg, still in Strong, and NEAFS Mint Fusion Strong at 12mg, which moves into Extra Strong. If a gentle mint at a moderate dose is what you want, STNG Mellow Mint 9.2mg is the softer starting point of the three.

A can built to stay fresh

STNG packs its pouches in a soft-touch plastic can that flexes instead of cracking, and the brand says a vacuum seal inside keeps the moisture in. Each 11 g can holds 20 portions of roughly 0.55 g.

• Nicotine per pouch: 9.2mg
• Nicotine per gram: 16.7mg
• Strength level: Strong
• Format: slim, all-white
• Pouches per can: 20
• Net weight: 11 g (about 0.55 g per pouch)

For mint with more strength from the same brand, go to STNG Double Mint MAX 27.5mg. Other mint pouches a step up include CLEW Wintergreen 10mg and NEAFS Mint Fusion Strong 12mg. All STNG flavours are listed together.
