STNG Max – Double Mint 27.5mg

For mint at full strength from the Swedish brand pronounced “Sting”, the pick is STNG Double Mint 27.5mg, the only mint in its MAX line. The slim pouch carries 27.5mg of nicotine, which makes it a can for people who already take extreme-strength pouches.

Why the STNG mint changes name with strength

Most STNG flavours keep one name across both strengths. Mint is the exception: the 9.2mg Regular can is Mellow Mint, and the 27.5mg MAX can is Double Mint, with neither name appearing at the other strength. If you are moving up from Mellow Mint, this is where you land. As the names suggest, Double Mint is pitched as the bolder of the pair.

How STNG Double Mint 27.5mg compares on strength

27.5mg puts it in Extreme, the top of our six levels, which begins at 25mg. Two cross-brand mints bracket it closely: GLICK Triple Mint Hazard Series sits just below at 25mg, and PABLO Hyper Strong Green Mint just above at 30mg. All three are slim, so the decision comes down to flavour and the size of the step.

The can and the pouch

Twenty all-white portions share an 11 g can, so each pouch weighs about 0.55 g, lighter than the 0.7 g of a ZYN or VELO slim. The filling holds 50mg of nicotine per gram. That smaller portion is part of why the brand calls its size a hybrid between mini and slim.

• Nicotine per pouch: 27.5mg
• Nicotine per gram: 50mg
• Level: Extreme
• Format: slim, all-white
• Can: 20 pouches
• Net weight: 11 g
