James's Review
Summary
XQS has a lot going for it, for sure. The design of the canisters is beautiful—some of the nicest I’ve ever come across. And many of the flavours are delicious too. It’s also nice to come across a brand with so much experience. You get the sense that they know what they’re doing. The main downside, though, for me, is that many of their flavours are really quite sweet. Too sweet.
Pros
The canisters are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I remember a friend of mine once having an XQS can, and it immediately caught my eye. I was like, ‘What’s that?’
It’s nice they offer all flavours in their 10mg option. I need that added kick.
The Citrus Orange flavour is astoundingly good.
Cons
Some of these flavours are seriously sweet. If you prefer more savoury tones or something less sweet, this likely is not the brand for you.
10mg still isn’t necessarily the strongest. I’d prefer something even stronger than this, to be honest. Although it was still nice!
Stephen's Review
Summary
XQS is easily one of my favourite brands. As those of you who’ve been following along with our taste testing probably know, I have a BIG sweet tooth. And XQS certainly caters to those with a BIG sweet tooth. Adding to my infatuation with the brand was their downright gorgeous canisters. Without a doubt, they are some of the most stunning canisters I’ve come across. The colours blend together so magically—you’ll get lost in them if you spend long enough staring.
Pros
Unbelievable flavours from XQS. Dark Cherry, Blueberry Mint, and Orange Apple were some of my favourites.
Lovely nicotine strengths. It’s nice that they offer both 4mg and 10mg options in each flavour.
Again, that design! Wow, is it ever beautiful.
Cons
Struggling to come up with anything here!
Clares's Review
Summary
This is certainly a brand I’ve come to adore. They’re not my favourite because they don’t offer a ton of minty options, but I still like them A LOT. The fruity choices are downright delightful. And they offer every single one of their flavours in a 4mg option. That’s incredible! I honestly don’t understand why more brands don’t do the same thing. But the best thing about XQS has got to be the design of their canisters. These cans have some absolutely stunning colour palettes!
Pros
Love that the canisters are recyclable! The 4mg nicotine strength is ideal for those who want something lighter!
The design. So, so picturesque.
The flavour range is quite delightful! It’s mostly sweet/fruity, but they still have a couple of minty options.
Cons
Some of the flavours are just a wee bit too sweet for me. Sorry to say!

XQS Black Cherry
J
James
The Black Cherry was an absolute delight. It had a rich, fruity essence that felt like a treat. Now I’m craving a cherry smoothie!
S
Stephen
Although I’m not generally a fan of such sweet flavours, the depth of the cherry here was pleasantly surprising. It’s nice and tart, too.
C
Clare
Enjoyed the bold cherry notes a lot. It was really bursting with flavour, and there was some tartness to it as well.

XQS Blueberry Mint
J
James
This harmonious blend of blueberry and mint ticked all the right boxes for me. It was sweet but refreshing.
S
Stephen
The mint offset the sweetness of the blueberries well. There was a balance to the flavours that I appreciated.
C
Clare
This was everything I adore! The fusion of mint with the lush blueberry flavour was absolutely delightful. Tart, sweet, and refreshing!

XQS Cactus Sour
J
James
Intriguing is the word to describe this flavour. It was a bit too sour for me. And I’m not really sure how to describe the cactus.
S
Stephen
I actually enjoyed this a decent bit. The cactus has a slight citrusy taste to it. It’s definitely on the sour side, though.
C
Clare
While interesting, I found myself overwhelmed by the sour taste. It’s an adventurous choice for those looking to try something unique.

XQS Elderflower
J
James
The elderflower flavour was light and subtly sweet. There are some tropical notes in there too. It captures the essence of summer and is a refreshing choice for sure.
S
Stephen
I found the Elderflower flavour to be too sweet. It actually surprised me how sweet it was.
C
Clare
There is a blend of lovely floral and fruity tastes in here. I swear I picked up on some lychee!

XQS Fizzy Cola
J
James
I’m never the biggest fan of cola flavours, and this one didn’t quite do it for me either.
S
Stephen
Surprisingly, I found the fizziness quite intriguing. And there were some nice complex vanilla notes.
C
Clare
Fun and different! I love having a soda every once in a while, and this satisfied my desires.

XQS Orange Apple
J
James
A fun, zesty twist on fruit flavours that beautifully marries orange and apple. Sweet and refreshing!
S
Stephen
The citrusy punch was right up my alley. And the apple adds a nice sharp touch. One of my favourites for sure!
C
Clare
The vibrant taste of orange and apple was thoroughly enjoyable. It was tart and sharp and puckery all at once!

XQS Soft Toffee
J
James
Rich and creamy, XQS’s Soft Toffee is like dessert in a pouch. There are some slight salty notes too!
S
Stephen
I like the saltiness of it but was overwhelmed by the sweetness. Doesn’t help that I used to despise toffee candies growing up. Rating: ⭐⭐ 2/5; James: I like the saltiness of it but was overwhelmed by the sweetness. Doesn’t help that I used to despise toffee candies growing up.
C
Clare
A bit too sweet and lacking in the refreshing qualities I usually look for. I feel like this is an ‘acquired taste’ flavour.

XQS Twin Apple
J
James
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Twin Apple somehow had a bit too much apple for me! It’s really tart!
S
Stephen
Liked the depth provided by mixing two types of apples. The tartness really complimented the sourness and sweetness.
C
Clare
Delicious and fruity! Felt like I was strolling through an orchard with this pouch.
