ZYN Slim – Cool Mint Ice 16.5mg

Built for people who find 11mg too gentle, ZYN Cool Mint Ice 16.5mg packs peppermint and menthol into a slim pouch at the very top of ZYN’s strength scale. Each can holds 20 pouches. Treat it as a can for experienced pouch users only.

How strong ZYN Cool Mint Ice 16.5mg really is

Regular ZYN slims stop at S4, and the ultra strong cans add S5 and S6 above them; this one is S6, the maximum. At 23.57mg of nicotine per gram it carries half as much again as the 11mg Cool Mint. Expect a fast-building, sharp tingle that is clearly heavier than any regular ZYN slim. If you have not yet used 11mg pouches comfortably, start there instead.

Cool Mint Ice or Menthol Ice at 16.5mg?

ZYN makes two flavours at this strength. This one leans on peppermint with menthol for the cold, while ZYN Menthol Ice 16.5mg swaps the peppermint for eucalyptus, which tastes drier and more herbal. Both use a 0.7g pouch at the same nicotine level, so the choice is purely about flavour.

What the Ice in the name means

Despite the extra word, the listed flavour notes match the regular Cool Mint cans: peppermint and menthol. What changes is the strength, which pushes the cooling and the tingle harder than any S2 to S4 can. Retailers first listed it in 2025, alongside the 13.5mg and 16.5mg Menthol Ice cans from the same ultra strong tier.
