Killa Lines Explained: Core and Exclusive Snus in Australia

Killa snus comes in two lines in Australia, core with 18 flavours and Exclusive with 12, and every pouch in both lines is 13.2mg. Killa snus is a brand of N.G.P Tobacco ApS, a Danish company, so the line name tells you which flavours are on offer and nothing about a change in strength.

For adults 18 and over, we deliver to Australia, and this page takes both lines in turn so that an order bound for Melbourne, Perth or anywhere between starts from the right shelf. Picture the pie warmer at a Saturday footy match: mince, steak and pepper, and chicken and veg are different fillings in a pie of the same size, and Killa core and Killa Exclusive work in much the same way.

How do the core and Exclusive Killa lines actually differ?

The difference is the flavour set, because Killa core and Killa Exclusive both carry 13.2mg per pouch. Core covers the familiar ground of mint, fruit, coffee and fizzy drinks, while Exclusive gathers a smaller group with more specific profiles, among them Cherry Cola, Cold Dry, Dark Cherry and Liquorice.

Core is the larger line, and it holds the flavours a reader would expect to find on any decent shelf: mint, apple, blueberry, cola and coffee. Exclusive is the shorter menu, with cherry, orange, lemonade, liquorice and a few extra mints that core does not carry. Neither line is a step up or a step down from the other, so the choice is about what you would like to taste.

The name Exclusive therefore reads like a section of the menu and not like a grade of strength. Anyone comparing the two lines on a screen in Brisbane or Adelaide will see the same 13.2mg beside every Killa, and our page on Killa strengths and mg levels in Australia sets that figure against the rest of our scale. It saves a good deal of second guessing, because a shopper who has settled on 13.2mg per pouch does not need to ask which line is the stronger one. The answer is the same whichever way the question is put, and what changes between the lines is the taste.

Does Exclusive pack more nicotine than core Killa?

No, Killa Exclusive does not pack more nicotine than core Killa, because both lines are 13.2mg per pouch. Killa Cold Mint in core and Killa Exclusive Strawberry Watermelon both work out at 16.5mg per gram, and both come to 13.2mg in a single pouch.

The two figures answer different questions. Milligrams per gram is the concentration of nicotine in the filling, and the figure for one pouch comes from multiplying that concentration by how many grams the pouch weighs. At 16.5mg per gram, that works out at 13.2mg for one pouch. The per pouch number is the one to compare between products, since it describes what a single pouch holds, while the per gram number only means something when the pouch weight sits beside it.

Because the sum comes out the same for every Killa flavour, nothing about the flavour name, the colour of the can or the line it belongs to moves the figure up or down. A reader choosing between Killa Cold Mint and an Exclusive mint is comparing taste, and the milligrams stay where they are.

Which strength band does Killa's 13.2mg fall into?

Every Killa pouch is 13.2mg, which falls in the Medium band on our scale, between 8 and 16mg per pouch. The bands climb from Light at 1 to 8mg, through Strong at 16 to 25mg, up to Extreme, which starts at 25mg and goes higher.

Across the whole Australian shelf, which runs from 3mg to 150mg per pouch, Killa sits well clear of both ends. That is true of every flavour in both lines, which makes Killa one of the easier brands to compare: once a reader knows one Killa figure, they know all of them. A reader who already buys at a Medium strength will find the same footing here, and a reader who prefers a lighter or heavier band can use the scale to see where Killa lands before choosing.

Does the line change how long a Killa pouch stays in?

No. Core and Exclusive pouches both carry 13.2mg, so the line you pick has no bearing on how long one stays in. How long a pouch stays in is a matter of personal preference, and it is set by the user rather than by the flavour line. A shorter stay suits a brief session, while a longer one suits someone who prefers a more drawn out session.

The longer explanation sits in how long a Killa pouch stays in, and the placement steps, from the first pouch of the day onwards, are set out in how to use Killa snus in Australia.

How do you choose a flavour between the two lines?

Start with the flavour family you already enjoy, since the strength will not move whichever line you pick. Mint, fruit, coffee and drinks all appear in core, while Exclusive adds blended mints, cherry, orange, tropical fruit and liquorice.

A useful way to narrow the field is to ask what you would order without thinking. A person who reaches for fruit will find a wide choice in core, and a person who likes a cherry or citrus note will find a few extra directions in Exclusive. Someone who wants coffee will find it in core, and someone who wants a fizzy drink flavour will find a cola in each line.

Once the family is chosen, the question becomes which flavour within it. An order of every flavour from the best to the least favourite sits in the ranked list of Killa flavours, and anyone new to the brand can start with what Killa is for the background. The practical side, including where the shelf is and how an order reaches you, is covered in where you can buy Killa in Australia.

What flavours does core Killa come in?

The core line spans three broad families: fruit, sweet and coffee flavours, and mint, with an energy flavour on its own. Every one of them is 13.2mg per pouch, so the choice is about taste alone.

Which fruit flavours are in core Killa?

Fruit is the largest family in core, with nine flavours: Killa Apple 13.2mg, Killa Banana Ice 13.2mg and Killa Blueberry 13.2mg, followed by Grape Ice, Mango Ice, Melon, Pineapple, Strawberry Lychee and Watermelon. Three of the nine carry ice in the name (Banana Ice, Grape Ice and Mango Ice), and the rest are plain fruit names.

The family covers orchard, berry and tropical ground, all at the same 13.2mg per pouch. A reader in Perth choosing between Apple and Watermelon is comparing taste only, because the strength is identical.

Which sweet and coffee flavours are in core Killa?

The sweet side of core is the most varied. Killa Bubblegum 13.2mg covers the confectionery corner, Killa Cappuccino 13.2mg and White Coffee cover coffee, Killa Cola 13.2mg covers the fizzy drink shelf, and Strawberry Cheesecake adds a dessert note. Each is 13.2mg per pouch.

Which mint flavours are in core Killa?

The three core mints are Killa Cold Mint 13.2mg, Frosted Mint and Spearmint, all at 13.2mg per pouch. A mint fan can move between them without the strength changing, which makes the three an easy set to compare side by side.

Is there an energy flavour in core Killa?

Yes, Killa Energy 13.2mg is the Energy flavour in core, at 13.2mg per pouch. It sits in the drinks corner of the shelf alongside Cola and carries the same strength as every other core flavour.

Which flavours are in the Exclusive Killa line?

The Exclusive line holds mint and cold flavours, fruit and citrus flavours, and a small group of cola, lemonade and liquorice flavours, all at 13.2mg per pouch. It reads like a shorter menu with more specific dishes.

Which mint and cold flavours are in Exclusive Killa?

Killa Exclusive Blue Mint 13.2mg is one of four mint and cold flavours in Exclusive, with Cold Dry, Double Mint and Green Mint. Exclusive adds these four to the three core mints, so a mint fan has seven directions to choose from across the two lines, all at 13.2mg per pouch.

Which fruit and citrus flavours are in Exclusive Killa?

Killa Exclusive Blue Raspberry 13.2mg sits with Dark Cherry, Orange, Strawberry Watermelon and Tropical Punch, all at 13.2mg per pouch. Cherry, orange and tropical notes are the Exclusive additions to a fruit shelf that core already covers well.

Which cola, lemonade and liquorice flavours are in Exclusive Killa?

Cherry Cola, Lemonade and Liquorice round out Exclusive at 13.2mg per pouch each. They sit alongside the core drinks and sweet flavours and carry the same strength as every other Killa.

Can you get both Killa lines in Australia?

Yes, both lines are on our Australian shelf, and we deliver to Australia. Core and Exclusive sit side by side, so one basket can hold a core mint and an Exclusive fruit flavour, both at 13.2mg per pouch.

That applies whether the order is heading to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide. To put the lines beside other brands, you can buy snus from the full shelf, or browse the rest of our snus range and compare the per pouch figure on each as you go.
