Caffeine vs. Nicotine: Which Pouch Is Right for You?

As you may have noticed, over the last year or so, caffeine pouches have entered the market - in some cases due to nicotine  pouch bans in certain countries, or simply as a great alternative to well-known caffeine products like coffee or energy drinks.
On the other hand, nicotine pouches have been popular for some time now and are only becoming more and more popular.

But what are the differences and similarities between the two? And which one should you choose?

What are Caffeine pouches?

Caffeine pouches, also known as energy pouches, look just like nicotine pouches, but they don’t contain any nicotine. Instead, they’re packed with caffeine and can be a great alternative to other caffeine sources like coffee or energy drinks.

Why Caffeine Pouches Are a Better Choice?

  • No sugar crush - Unlike energy drinks or sweetened coffee, caffeine pouches usually contain zero sugar, helping you avoid the energy crash that often follows.

  • Stain-free and teeth friendly - No more worrying about coffee stains or acidity that can affect your teeth.

  • Fast and steady release - Caffeine from pouches is absorbed through the gums, offering a smooth and steady boost without the jitters.

  • Portable and discreet - No need for cups or cans. Just pop a pouch in anytime, anywhere - perfect for work, travel, or the gym.

  • No bathroom rush - Coffee and energy drinks can sometimes upset your stomach or send you running to the bathroom. Caffeine pouches? Much gentler.

Glick offers caffeine pouches with 100 mg of caffeine per pouch and that’s roughly the same as 2.5 cups of coffee! This makes it a convenient and affordable option for anyone looking for a quick energy boost. And the best part? Glick has 6 delicious caffeine pouch flavors to choose from, so you’re not stuck with just one taste.

  • Acid Smoothy - a refreshing burst of tangy, fruity "acid smoothie" flavor

  • Arctic - a crisp, cool menthol flavor that refreshes with every use

  • Black Current - deep, fruity taste of black currant

  • Cappuccino - creamy, aromatic "cappuccino" flavor

  • Energy - bold taste of your favorite energy drink

  • Static Passion - vibrant, exotic tropical passionfruit flavor



What Are Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches, also known as tobacco free snus are small, discreet pouches containing nicotine and other ingredients like flavorings and sweeteners. They are placed between the lip and gum, allowing nicotine to be absorbed into the bloodstream. They are a great alternative to other nicotine products like cigarettes, vapes etc.

Why Nicotine Pouches Are a Better Choice?

  • Tobacco-Free - Unlike cigarettes or traditional snus, nicotine pouches contain no tobacco, making them a cleaner and less harmful option.

  • No smoke or vapor - you can use them discreetly anywhere, without worrying about smell, smoke, or needing a vape device.

  • Easier on the lungs - Since there's nothing to inhale, nicotine pouches don’t irritate your throat or lungs like smoking or vaping can.

  • Longer shelf life and easy to carry around - No charging, no lighter, no mess — just pop a pouch under your lip and you’re good to go.

Glick offers three different nicotine strength series of nicotine pouches:

  • Light series - 4mg of nicotine per pouch

  • Extreme series - 10mg of nicotine per pouch

  • Hazard series - 25mg of nicotine per pouch

Of course Glick pouches come in various flavours, for example:

  • Citrine Grape - great combination of citrus and grape aromas

  • Pink Fusion - harmonious fusion of bubble gum, strawberry, and raspberry aromas

  • LemonBerry - where zesty citrus meets sweet strawberry

  • Triple Mint - refreshing mix of peppermint, menthol and peppermint

  • Sweet Mint - perfect flavour of mint with a hint of sweetness

  • Ice Mint - combination of intense menthol and cooling mint

  • Cocoberry - a smooth blend of coconut and juicy berries that hits just right

  • Black Currant - rich and tangy flavour of blackcurrant

  • Tasteless - designed for those who prefer a clean and unflavored experience. These pouches offer a smooth, consistent nicotine release without any added taste

Glick has something for everyone - whether you prefer a lighter nicotine kick with a minty flavor or something stronger with a fruity twist.


Who Should Choose What?


Choose caffeine pouches if:

  • You’re looking for a nicotine-free energy boost

  • You want a cleaner alternative to coffee or energy drinks

  • You need something to help you focus, work out, or stay awake on long days

Choose nicotine pouches if:

  • You’re looking to quit smoking or vaping

  • You want a discreet and smoke-free way to get your nicotine

  • You enjoy a variety of flavors and strengths to match your mood or routine

Both are great - it just depends on your vibe and what kind of boost you're after.
