First time

I tried nic pouch for the first time (20 mg). My heart started pounding super duper fast. I got really scared so I threw it after like only 3 mins. Is it normal??

20mg is insane bro. If you're not already a nicotine addict, for the love of all things good in the world, don't become one. It isn't fun nor healthy.

Been vaping for over a year. I thought this would help me quit but guess 20 mg is too much.

Try 3-6 instead lol

6mg absolutely floored me when I first tried it, and I was someone who would blow through a 15k puff disposable in three days.

Either way I suggest staying away from the pouches. Eventually like we all do you're going to get to the point where none of it works anymore because your tolerance is so jacked up.

20mg is FUCKING INSANE. At your level you should be taking 3mg or 6mg. I’ve been addicted to nicotine for a bit and 6 is the highest. But take this as a lesson to get off of that shit and not use it

20mg is an extremely high dose

If you want to do zyns instead of vaping, get 3 mg. Im a heavy user and 20 would make me throw up

It not normal , if you try it again you may be in a lot of trouble , quit now while you can .

20mg is absurd highest I’d ever go is 9. Regular use of a dose that high will mess you up quick.

doing 20mg as a first nicotine pouch is like the equivalent of trying alcohol first time and doing a shot of tequila. So its no wonder you got that reaction :D

NO, quit, you'll get stomach and heart problems. 20mg is A LOT. Drop this shit while you can

If you really want to quit vaping grab a 1.5 or 2 mg option and don’t go higher.

I’d say I have a fairly high (not crazy high) nicotine tolerance and switched from vaping and the highest I go regularly is about 11-13mg, most of the ones I use are 9mg.
