How to Use FUMi Nicotine Pouches: A Simple Guide

FUMi nicotine pouches are a real contender on the tobacco-free snus market. Whether you’re new to pouches or making the switch to FUMi, this easy step-by-step guide from your friends at Two Wombats will help you get started.

1. Choose the Right FUMi Strength

Finding the right strength is the first step to a satisfying pouch experience. Choosing a pouch that is too weak may have little effect, and choosing one that is too strong can be overwhelming and unpleasant.

Nicotine pouches are used by smokers and non-smokers alike. Here’s a quick guide in case you are unsure of what strength to get:

Nicotine Strength Recommendation
User Type Cigarettes Per Day Recommended Strength
New to pouches / Light smoker 0–5 4mg
Medium smoker 5–20 4mg or 8mg
Heavy smoker 20+ 8mg

2. Open the Can

To open your FUMi can, simply twist the lid counterclockwise until it pops open. Many FUMi cans also feature a smart lid compartment where you can stash used pouches until you’re ready to dispose of them.

3. Place the Pouch Under Your Lip

Take one FUMi pouch and gently place it under your upper lip. This spot is discreet and comfortable for most users. Some users prefer to place it under their bottom lip. The pouch will rest naturally between your gum and lip.

You may feel a slight tingling sensation; this is completely normal and means the nicotine is starting to activate.

4. Feel the Effects

Once the pouch is in place, it usually takes a couple of minutes before you start feeling the effects. The tingling generally lasts 5–10 minutes, while the nicotine release can continue for up to 30–45 minutes.

⚠️ Important: Don’t chew or suck on the pouch. Just let it sit comfortably and do its job.

5. Dispose of Your Pouch Properly

When you’re finished, remove the pouch and throw it in the general waste bin, or keep it in the FUMi can’s lid compartment until you can dispose of it responsibly.

Never flush pouches down the toilet and please don’t litter.

Can You Reuse FUMi Pouches?

Technically, you can reuse a pouch, but it’s not recommended. Once used, a pouch has already released most of its:

  • Nicotine
  • Flavour
  • Freshness

Reusing pouches often leads to:

  • Faded taste
  • Weaker nicotine effect
  • Dry, rough texture
  • Hygiene risks (bacteria may build up if stored improperly)

For the best FUMi experience, always use a fresh pouch.

How Many FUMi Pouches Per Day?

Your daily pouch use depends on your nicotine tolerance, your smoking or vaping history, and the pouch strength you choose. At Two Wombats, we have collected data to see how many pouches our customers use a day. 

Here’s a general guide:

Nicotine Pouch Usage Rate
User Type Daily Usage
New or light user 1–3 pouches
Moderate user 4–7 pouches
Heavy/former smoker 8–12+ pouches


Remember to listen to your body. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or develop headaches, it may mean you’re using too much. In that case, take a break or try a lower strength. Moderation is key, aim for a steady, comfortable routine.
