ZYN Slim – Black Menthol 16.5mg

Six of six dots on the lid show where ZYN Black Menthol 16.5mg sits: at the very top of its scale, with a peppermint and eucalyptus chill to match. This moist slim pouch shares the highest nicotine level in our ZYN range, and the flavour is built to hold its cooling for the full session rather than fading after a few minutes.

Who ZYN Black Menthol 16.5mg is for

This is an Ultra Strong can, meant for seasoned users who find 11mg or 14mg pouches no longer enough. If you have not used a pouch above 11mg before, the 14mg version of Black Menthol is the more measured first step. Those who are ready will find the cooling and the nicotine both build quickly and last.

The numbers behind each pouch

A pouch weighs 0.7g and carries around 23.57mg of nicotine per gram, with 20 pouches making up 14g in each can. These are the specs ZYN publishes for Black Menthol 16.5mg, the same name printed on this lid. The black can with red dots and a red Slim badge is the easiest way to spot it on a shelf of white ZYN lids, and the same styling marks the 14mg can.

Other very strong mints to compare

If raw strength matters more to you than the peppermint profile, CLEW Spearmint 20mg goes higher still. At a lower dose, Juice Head Arctic Mint 14mg offers a cold mint from a different brand. See ZYN pouches at every strength for the rest of this brand.
