Range and Flavours

We carry 15 ZOLT tins in 15 flavours (4 mint, 8 fruit, 3 sweet and drink) and 10 MONK tins in 10 flavours (1 mint, 5 fruit, 4 sweet and drink). ZOLT gives you more flavours to choose from. If you like to rotate between a mint and something sweeter, both brands cover more than one flavour family.

Strength Options

ZOLT tins on our site come in Being added (15 still show “Strength soon” while we confirm the mg). MONK tins come in Being added (10 still show “Strength soon”). Strength is the nicotine in each pouch, so compare the mg on the tin rather than the brand. Our 5-dot scale and words (Regular, Strong, Extra strong, Super strong) are the same on every tin, which makes it easy to line up the two brands.

Taste: Cooling, Sweetness and Flavour

On our taste guide, ZOLT's average cooling is higher than MONK's, its sweetness is lower, and its flavour intensity is lower. These are our own estimates from each tin's flavour and style, shown as bars on every product page, so you can compare individual tins too.

Price and Value

There's no price difference: every tin is $15, whatever the brand. You need at least 5 tins per order, shipping is free from $150 (10 tins), and every 21st tin is free. That means the choice between ZOLT and MONK comes down to taste and strength, not cost.

How to Try Both

The simplest way is to split your first order: for example 3 tins of one brand and 2 of the other. Pick the same strength in both so you're comparing flavour and feel, not nicotine. After a week you'll know which you reach for first. Use Add + remind me on the one you like and we'll email you when it's time to reorder.

Can't decide? Every tin is the same $15, so the easiest answer is to mix both in one order. Any 5 tins meet the minimum, and our What strength should I choose? guide helps with strength.
