What Are the Apres Strengths and mg Levels in the US?

Apres comes in four strengths on our US shelf: 4.4mg, 5.5mg, 8.3mg and 11mg per pouch, across 19 cans. Most of the Apres nicotine pouches range sits at 8.3mg and 11mg under the Extra Strong and Hypèr Strong names, while one Normal can and one limited edition hold the lower end.

Apres is a Swedish brand that produces and sells tobacco free nicotine pouches, made by Après Nicotine AB, a young company from Stockholm, Sweden. Its strength names work a lot like the green circle, blue square and black diamond on a trail map in Vail, Colorado. They tell you the grade at a glance, while the mg per pouch figure tells you how steep the run really is. Our own scale puts every pouch in the US shop on the same footing, with Light covering 1mg to 8mg per pouch and Medium covering 8mg to 16mg. So, the two lower Apres strengths count as Light and the two higher ones count as Medium. For adults 21 and over.

Apres strength is the figure that changes from can to can, while the routine around it stays the same. A pouch is kept in for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the user's preference, and the timing is set out in full under how long an Apres pouch lasts. The steps for using an Apres pouch are gathered on their own page, so the chart above can stay focused on the numbers.

What Do Normal, Extra Strong and Hypèr Strong Mean on Apres?

On our US shelf, Apres Normal means 4.4mg per pouch, Extra Strong means 8.3mg and Hypèr Strong means 11mg, with a limited edition sitting between the first two at 5.5mg. The wider Apres range is arranged under Zero, Mini, Normal, Extra Strong and Hypèr Strong. The cans we stock come from the Normal, Extra Strong and Hypèr Strong groups, plus that limited collaboration. The accent on Hypèr is the brand's own spelling, and Apres Hyper Strong cans are the 11mg cans.

Each name marks a rung on a ladder rather than a family of flavors. Blueberry, cola and menthol all turn up at more than one strength, so it pays to settle the nicotine first and then look at what sits on that rung. Working out the best Apres flavor becomes a shorter job once the strength is fixed, because the shortlist shrinks to a single level. The Apres lines take the same cans and sort them by tier and edition, including the limited release behind the 5.5mg can.

How Does Apres mg Per Gram Become mg Per Pouch?

Apres mg per gram becomes mg per pouch when it is multiplied by the pouch weight in grams, and the four tiers hold 8mg/g for Normal, 15mg/g for Extra Strong, 20mg/g for Hypèr Strong and 10mg/g for the limited edition. Those concentrations line up with 4.4mg, 8.3mg, 11mg and 5.5mg per pouch respectively. Run the sum backwards, dividing each per pouch figure by its per gram figure, and every tier lands close to 0.55g.

The per gram figure appears in the Apres product details, while the per pouch figure is the one that lines up cleanly with other brands sold in the US. Après Nicotine AB, covered in more depth under what Apres is, works in per gram figures, so the conversion is handy whenever two labels seem to speak different languages. A standard Apres can holds 11g net, compact enough for a ski jacket pocket on the lifts at Aspen or a coat pocket on a January morning in Chicago.

Where Does Each Apres Strength Sit on Our Scale?

Apres Normal at 4.4mg and the limited edition at 5.5mg sit in Light on our scale, while Apres Extra Strong at 8.3mg and Apres Hypèr Strong at 11mg sit in Medium. The 8.3mg cans clear the top of Light by a fraction of a milligram, which explains why a lid labeled Extra Strong reads as Medium here. The brand's names compare one Apres can with another, whereas our scale compares every brand we stock on the same terms.

Every Apres can on our US shelf stays within Light and Medium, and the cans run from 4.4mg at the lightest to 11mg at the strongest per pouch. That keeps each step inside the brand a modest one, which suits anyone who prefers to move up or down gradually. Every strength in the chart above is on our US shelf, and the details of buying Apres in the US are gathered in one place.

Which Apres Can Has the Lowest Strength?

Apres Blueberry 4.4mg has the lowest strength of any Apres can on our US shelf, at 4.4mg per pouch in the Normal tier, and it is the only Normal can we stock. Close behind is Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg, at 5.5mg per pouch, whose lid reads Après Limoncello DICAPRI with LIMITED COLLABORATION printed along the bottom. The maker titles it Après Limoncello Di Capri, and both spellings point to the same can.

Apres Blueberry 4.4mg and Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg both count as Light on our scale, and the step up from 4.4mg to 5.5mg is a small one, so flavor tends to settle the choice between the two. Apres Blueberry 4.4mg is the berry option, while Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg leans toward the lemon liqueur served after dinner in Little Italy, New York. For anyone who wants blueberry at a higher figure later on, the same flavor returns at 11mg, which makes blueberry the widest pair on our US shelf.

Which Apres Cans Come in at 8.3mg?

Seven Apres flavors come at 8.3mg per pouch on our US shelf: Apres Appletini 8.3mg, Apres Cactus Lime 8.3mg, Apres Cola 8.3mg, Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg, Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg, Apres Menthol 8.3mg and Apres Tangerine Spritz 8.3mg. This level matches the Extra Strong concentration of 15mg/g, and it offers the second widest choice of flavors at any single Apres strength.

Drink flavors make up a good part of the 8.3mg level. Apres Cola 8.3mg brings the soda fountain classic, Apres Ice Tea Peach 8.3mg brings the sweet peach tea of a Georgia summer, and Apres Appletini 8.3mg and Apres Tangerine Spritz 8.3mg lean toward cocktail hour. Apres Lemon Curd 8.3mg reads more like dessert, and Apres Cactus Lime 8.3mg sits with the bright citrus side of the range.

Apres Menthol 8.3mg has the same 8.3mg per pouch as Apres Cola 8.3mg, and its cooling can make it seem sharper. Cooling can make a mint pouch feel stronger than a fruit pouch at the same stated mg per pouch, even though the figure on the lid has not moved. So, when comparing the two, the number is identical and the cooling is simply part of the flavor.

Which Apres Cans Are Hypèr Strong at 11mg?

Ten Apres flavors sit at 11mg per pouch in the Hypèr Strong tier: Apres Banana 11mg, Apres Blueberry 11mg, Apres Cactus Lime 11mg, Apres Cola 11mg, Apres Hugo Spritz 11mg, Apres Ice Tea Peach 11mg, Apres Menthol 11mg, Apres Mochaccino 11mg, Apres Pink Spritz 11mg and Apres Tangerine Spritz 11mg. At 20mg/g, this is the top of the Apres range on our shelf, and it still sits in Medium on our scale, well below the 16mg line where Strong begins.

Spritz flavors have the most company at 11mg per pouch, with Apres Hugo Spritz 11mg, Apres Pink Spritz 11mg and Apres Tangerine Spritz 11mg all on the same rung. It is the sort of lineup that would look at home on a rooftop bar menu in Los Angeles. Apres Mochaccino 11mg is the one coffee flavor on our US shelf and Apres Banana 11mg is the one banana, so both appear only at this strength. Apres Cola and Apres Pink Spritz in Hypèr Strong are 11mg per pouch, the same as every other can in this tier.

Which Apres Flavors Come in More Than One Strength?

Six Apres flavors come in two strengths on our US shelf: Blueberry at 4.4mg and 11mg, and Cactus Lime, Cola, Ice Tea Peach, Menthol and Tangerine Spritz at 8.3mg and 11mg. These pairs are the cleanest way to change one thing at a time. Moving from Apres Cola 8.3mg to Apres Cola 11mg keeps the flavor the same while the nicotine per pouch rises from 8.3mg to 11mg.

Apres Blueberry 4.4mg and Apres Blueberry 11mg make the widest pair, a jump from 4.4mg to 11mg per pouch, Normal to Hypèr Strong, with nothing in between. For a smaller step, the gap can be bridged by changing flavor instead, through Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg or one of the 8.3mg cans. That is the trail map logic again, choosing between the same run at a steeper grade and a neighboring run at a similar one.

How Can You Tell Apres Strengths Apart on the Can?

An Apres lid shows its strength through a row of small dots near the edge, and the stronger cans add a tier marking on top of that. Extra Strong cans carry a small black EXTRA STRONG tab, while Hypèr Strong cans repeat HYPÈR around the rim and add a red banner reading HYPÈR STRONG with five dots. The cans are white with a colored ring, the Après name set in a serif type, the flavor in capitals and the words NICOTINE POUCHES.

A number written with N° sits above the name, such as N°1 Menthol, N°4 Cola, N°12 Blueberry, N°13 Mochaccino and N°15 Hugo Spritz, and it sits apart from the strength markings. The dots and tier words are the brand's own shorthand, handy for telling one Apres can from another on a shelf in Miami or a nightstand in Dallas, Texas. The mg per pouch figure is the one to carry across when comparing Apres with other brands.

Where Should a First Apres Pouch Start?

A first Apres pouch is easiest to judge from the Light end of our scale, with Apres Blueberry 4.4mg or Apres Limoncello Dicapri Limited Edition 5.5mg. Keeping the nicotine low and the flavor familiar leaves only the format to get used to, which makes the first impression easier to read. Once that figure feels settled, it becomes the fixed point, and the flavor can change around it.

For an adult who already uses pouches, the reference is the mg per pouch of a can they already enjoy. Someone settled in Medium on our scale can line Apres up at 8.3mg or 11mg against that figure directly, then pick a flavor from the matching rung in the chart above. Comparing Apres with other brands at the same strength is simplest when you shop nicotine pouches by mg per pouch across the full range. We deliver to the US.
