STNG Max – Berry Seltzer 27.5mg

Berries and sparkling-water flavour meet in STNG Berry Seltzer 27.5mg, the MAX-strength version of the Swedish brand’s berry soda pouch. STNG is pronounced “Sting”, and MAX is the stronger of its two lines, so this slim can is for people already comfortable with extreme-strength pouches. If you searched for a strong Sting berry pouch, this is the one.

The STNG Berry Seltzer flavour

Seltzer is carbonated water, so the name sets up a light, drink-style berry rather than jam or candy. Nordic Pouch, the Swedish wholesaler that carries STNG, files it under berry. Next to the plain Raspberry in the same line, Berry Seltzer is the soda-style choice, and it is the only STNG flavour built on a sparkling-water idea. If you like Raspberry but want something less direct, it is the natural sideways move.

Three times the Regular, in the same can

Berry Seltzer is made at both STNG strengths. Regular carries 9.2mg per pouch from a 16.7mg-per-gram filling; MAX carries 27.5mg from 50mg per gram. Both use an 11 g can of 20 portions, roughly 0.55 g each, so the whole difference is concentration, and it works out at almost exactly three times the nicotine. Anyone moving up from the Regular can keeps the flavour and the pouch size while tripling the dose.

• Nicotine per pouch: 27.5mg
• Nicotine per gram: 50mg

The lighter twin is STNG Berry Seltzer 9.2mg, and the single-fruit option at this strength is STNG Raspberry MAX 27.5mg. If you want berries a little stronger still, PABLO Hyper Strong Strawberry Lychee 30mg sits just above STNG Berry Seltzer 27.5mg on strength. See all STNG nicotine pouches for the full range.
