What is Killa snus?
Killa is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch made by NGP in Denmark, the same company that makes Pablo. The pouches are filled with plant fibre, nicotine and flavouring, with no tobacco leaf. Killa is known for its bold flavours and its strength: every pouch in the range sits in the strong part of the market.
People call it "Killa snus", and we do too, because snus is the everyday word for anything that goes under the lip. Strictly speaking, snus is a moist tobacco product. Killa contains no tobacco, which is why it can be sold outside Sweden. Our guide to snus vs nicotine pouches explains the difference, and who makes Killa and Pablo tells the story of the maker.
How strong is Killa?
Every Killa we stock has 13.2 mg of nicotine per pouch. On our scale that is Extra Strong (12 to 20 mg per pouch). The can says 16 mg/g, which is nicotine per gram of pouch content, not per pouch. A Killa pouch weighs about 0.8 g, so 16 mg/g works out at about 13.2 mg in each pouch.
Killa is strong, but it is not the top of the market. If Killa is new to you and you use lighter pouches today, step up gradually. Our Nicotine Pouch Strength Index puts every brand on the same per pouch scale.
Killa 16 mg: what the number on the can means
The 16 on a Killa can is mg/g, so it is not comparable with brands that print mg per pouch, such as VELO or ZYN. A Killa at 16 mg/g holds about 13.2 mg per pouch, a little more than a VELO labelled 10 mg and less than a White Fox Peppered Mint at 14.3 mg per pouch. Compare pouches by mg per pouch, never by the biggest number on the can.
Killa flavours
Killa's range is wide, and at this strength the flavours are bold rather than subtle. Many of the fruit flavours have a cooling finish. These are the Killa flavours in our range, all at 13.2 mg per pouch:

Killa Banana Ice: our best seller
Over the last two months, Killa Banana Ice has been our best-selling Killa: ripe banana with a cooling finish, at the same 13.2 mg per pouch as the rest of the range. Killa Apple and the mint flavours follow. If you want one can to understand what Killa is about, start with one of these.
How to choose your first Killa
Because every Killa has the same strength, you choose by flavour:
- You like mint: Cold X Mint or Spearmint.
- You like fruit: Banana Ice, Grape Ice or Watermelon.
- You like something different: Cola, Energy or Bubblegum.
If you are not sure which strength suits you, our strength guide maps every brand on one scale.
How to use Killa
Place one pouch between your upper lip and gum and leave it there. Do not chew it. Most people keep a pouch in for 20 to 40 minutes, until the flavour fades, then throw it away in the lid compartment or a bin. Killa pouches are slightly moist, so the first minutes are the most intense. More in how long nicotine pouches last.
Killa vs Pablo, White Fox and VELO
Pablo, from the same maker, is far stronger. White Fox sits just above Killa, and a standard VELO just below. Full comparisons: Killa vs Pablo, White Fox vs Killa, Velo vs Killa, Zyn vs Killa, Cuba vs Killa and Rabbit vs Killa.
Is Killa legal?
Killa contains no tobacco, so it is not covered by the EU ban on oral tobacco that keeps traditional snus out of most EU countries. Tobacco-free nicotine pouches are regulated country by country, and the rules differ. Our guide to where nicotine pouches are legal covers each market. Killa is for adults only.
