The best part? Their meticulously designed pouches deliver a long-lasting taste experience, outperforming traditional nicotine products. On top of that, VID continues to introduce new products, offering different flavours, strengths, and formats. It doesn’t get much better than that!
With VID, you can enjoy the ultimate range of flavour profiles backed by the confidence of cutting-edge lab research. Below, our trusted pouch testers (Stephen, James, and Clare) have sampled a variety of VID flavours to offer you insights into what VID is all about. You’ll learn of the different formats, taste profiles, and strengths that VID has to offer.
VID Nicotine Pouches – Look & Feel
VID has combined sensory cues in a thoughtful way for the consumer. The brand’s pastel-coloured canisters catch your eye while also corresponding to the amazing flavours inside! For example, Sweet Tea is represented by a sunny, summery yellow, whereas Coffee Caramel comes in a light brown pastel.
As for the canisters themselves, they're designed with a perfect blend of style and practicality. Sleek and compact, they're super easy to carry and fit seamlessly into your pockets or purses.
Each can holds 20 pouches, aligning with industry standards.
VID Nicotine Pouches
VID nicotine pouches are designed with utmost precision, weighing in around 7.2-8g per pouch. They're the perfect size for comfortability, and they fit snugly under your lip. With VID, it’s truly all about convenience!
VID pouches come in a variety of different nicotine strengths (4.8mg, 6mg, and 8mg per pouch) depending on the format you choose. All three strengths are perfect for light to mild pouch strength enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned consumer or new to pouches, VID has got your back!
VID Flavours: What's Available and What's Good?
When it comes to flavour options, VID is a trendsetter on the market. With a whopping total of 20 distinct flavour profiles, this remarkable range truly caters to all palates and preferences.
Experience the electrifying tang of Cola Sour, a clever twist on a classic that adds an exciting vanilla-forward layer to your nicotine experience. Or how about the bright and refreshing Watermelon flavour, filled with a fruity burst? Imagine sitting in the park with your best friends on a warm summer day—that’s exactly what you’re getting with Watermelon.
Of course, we can't forget about the cooling sensations of VID’s Menthol and Mint flavours. These are perfect for those who prefer the traditional, fresh nuances that only menthol and mint tastes can provide. Their icy touch soothes the palate, leaving a clean, crisp feeling. And if you want a more adventurous variety of minty goodness, feel free to try VID’s Minty Lemon or Minty Apple varieties!
With so many flavours to choose from, it’s hard to pick a favourite. It really depends on your taste preferences. Luckily, whether you like minty flavours, citrusy tones, or something sweet, you won’t have trouble finding the canister for you.
VID Performance: Does It Hit the Spot?
VID nicotine pouches come in three different strength formats. If you like a lighter touch, the Mini cans have a strength of 4.8mg per pouch (3/5 dots), giving you a balanced nicotine experience. On the other hand, the Slim cans have two options. The first is a moderate 6mg per pouch option (also 3/5 dots), perfect for those who want a medium nicotine experience. The second is a medium-strong 8mg option (4/5 dots), designed for seasoned users who want something a little more potent.
When it comes to the dot system on VID cans, a Mini can with 3/5 dots signifies a lighter touch, while a Slim can with 3/5 dots provides a medium experience. If you're seeking a stronger strength, look for a Slim can marked with 4/5 dots.
Confused? Here’s a little refresher:
Mini 3/5 dots → 4.8mg per pouch
Slim 3/5 dots → 6mg per pouch
Slim 4/5 dots → 8mg per pouch
Overall
For their incredible flavour range alone, VID stands out in comparison to other pouch brands. Their design is also among the most stunning on the market.

Stephen's Review of VID
Wow. What an incredible array of flavours VID has to offer. I’m not just saying this: There will truly be something for everybody (as long as you’re okay with mild and weaker nicotine strengths)!
Pros:
Love the pastel design of the canisters. Makes it easy to identify the flavour you’re looking for.
Great mild options in terms of nicotine strength.
The flavour range is unreal. I like sweet flavours, and they had more than enough.
Cons:
-
I guess there weren’t any really strong nicotine options. But that’s not a huge complaint on my end.
Scoring:
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Flavour Range: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Nicotine Strength: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5/5
James' Review of VID
VID nicotine pouches are a solid option. The flavours are among the best I’ve ever had, especially the Minty Lemon, which is a wild combination of mint and citrus. My one big downside? The nicotine strength they offer is on the weaker-mild side. I prefer strong nicotine.
Pros:
Sleek can design. Very lightweight.
I mean, the flavour options are incredible. There are so many different spins on citrus and mint that it’s almost hard to decide what you want.
Cons:
-
Only 4.8mg, 6mg, and 8mg strength options. I prefer something stronger, especially on nights out.
Scoring:
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Flavour Range: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Nicotine Strength: ⭐⭐ 2/5
Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Clare's Review of VID
VID might be the coolest brand on the market. Those pastel colours? Oh my, what a treat for the eyes! So beautifully designed from top to bottom.
The strength options are great too, perfect for someone like me (I prefer milder nicotine experiences). And don’t even get me started on their bonkers flavour range!
Pros:
Lightweight design, and the packaging is really smooth in your hand.
Incredible range of flavours. Maybe the best I’ve come across yet.
Delightful mild and light nicotine experiences!
Cons:
Uhh … I guess I didn’t love the liquorice flavour? That’s about my only complaint.
Scoring:
Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Flavour Range: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Nicotine Strength: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
VID Menthol

James: Yes! I am all for flavours like this. An absolutely delightful mix of mint and citrus. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5

Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
VID Minty Apple

James: A refreshing blend of mint and apple. I feel like many of my friends would love this. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Clare: The apple is slightly overpowering, but if you're into fruity-minty mixes (and I am!), this is a winner! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
VID Minty Cola
Stephen: Oddly, this one didn’t do it for me. I liked the mint but found the combination with cola a bit odd. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
James: The cola undertone is a fun twist, and the mint gives it a fresh kick. They’re taking chances and it’s paying off. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
Clare: What a fun blend of flavours! I’d never thought to combine mint and cola, but it sure worked here. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3.3/5
VID Ruby Raspberry
Stephen: I’m a berry enthusiast, so this was totally my jam. (Hah, sorry, I had to do it!) Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
James: A bit too sweet for me, honestly. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
Clare: Good, but a bit on the sweet side for me. The berry flavour sticks around in your mouth for a while. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3.7/5
VID Spicy Orange

Clare: A pleasant surprise! A little spicy, a little fruity, and overall a fun time! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3.7/5
VID Sweet Tea
Stephen: More of this, please. It reminded me of being out under the sun in my back garden with my wife. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
James: Very good. One of VID’s best flavours. There’s a hint of citrus in there, too. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Clare: Tea-flavoured pouches can be a bit hit or miss for me. This one was a hit. They nailed it! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.3/5
VID Vanilla Pear

Clare: The more VID pouches I try, the more impressed I become by their blends of flavours. There was so much to admire here, especially the pear flavour! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3.7/5
VID Violet Velvet
Stephen: Reminded me of those square violet candies that come in the purple and silver packaging. Very good! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
James: Violet is simply not for me. I can see how a lot of people would love this, though. Rating: ⭐⭐ 2/5

Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3.3/5
VID Watermelon
Stephen: VID ended off with a bang here. Like a cold, fresh jug of watermelon juice. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
James: Sweet, but in a good way. It was pretty solid overall. But again, I’ll say this: Please offer some stronger nicotine options! 8mg per pouch doesn’t strike me as “strong.” Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
Clare: What a flavour to end off on! Like the ripest watermelon you’ll come across in the dead of summer. So good! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
