ZYN vs ZYN Prime: Exploring the Differences

The key difference between ZYN and ZYN Prime lies in their pouch formulation. ZYN has a moist formulation, while ZYN Prime has a dry formulation. Hence, to the touch, a 'dry' ZYN will have a dry texture whereas a 'moist' ZYN will feel slightly wetter.

When placed under the lip, the different textures of the pouches will offer a unique mouth feel, which is crucial to the overall nicotine and flavour experience offered.

The table outlines some of the key differences between ZYN Prime and ZYN pouches and explains the strengths and pouch sizes they come in, and the nicotine and flavour experience they provide.
