Interesting. I’ve only just opened up to the idea of nicotine. Is the pouch the nicotine? What are your thoughts on the pouch/gum versus a patch that might distribute a smaller dose over a longer time?

Also, why the L-Theanine pairing? What’s the scoop there?

The pouch is a Nicotine pouch. On! Brand 4mg. Nicotine is VERY addicting but the benefits are huge and the downsides are... Dependence. However, other than dependnce, there are almost no other negative health detriments with nicotine. So nicotine salts (just nicotine, no tobacco) are great. If you really want to try, you can get these pouches in smaller doses. Try one and see if it's for you.

The L-Theanine pairs with caffeine and completely eliminates jitters from the caffeine and adds more focus.

Nicotine only really "works" (gives you a boost) , when ingested in a bigger dose. The gum and pouches just satisfy the dependency but aren't really strong enough to feel imo.

This is great! Thank you.

Yeah, I picked up the 7mg 24-hour patch a couple weeks ago and could feel the effect immediately, so I use it sparingly. I know it’s only like .35mg/hour and I don’t wear it but for 8-10 hours, so I’m curious what a gum or pouch may do.

When do you start to feel the gum or pouch wear off?

For me, after about 10 minutes a pouch starts hitting pretty hard, I enjoy the buzz for a few minutes but right now I can't even make it through a pouch without having to take it out a bit early. And 10 minutes or so.
