Rush
Rush is a nicotine pouch brand manufactured by Dhalokia Tobacco and distributed in the UK across three clearly defined strength tiers: Light (6mg), Pro (11mg) and Extreme (20mg). The range is designed to give adult nicotine users a straightforward strength progression, with each tier sharing the same flavour profiles so you can step up or down without switching to a different taste.
At VapeCity, Rush is available in 12 flavour and strength combinations across all three tiers. All are sold in 10-can packs of 20 pouches each, priced at £20.00. 18+ only.

About Rush nicotine pouches
Rush is produced by Dhalokia Tobacco, a European nicotine pouch manufacturer that has built the Rush brand specifically around a strength-tiered model. Most nicotine pouch brands offer a range of flavours with a couple of strength options per flavour, often with inconsistent strength labelling across different products. Rush takes a different approach: three clearly named tiers (Light, Pro, Extreme) with consistent mg per pouch within each tier, and the same flavour palette running across all three.
This design makes the brand particularly useful for people who are actively working out which strength suits them, or who want to move to a stronger option without changing flavour. If you use Rush Ice Cool Light and want more nicotine, Rush Ice Cool Pro is the direct step up. If you find Rush Grape Ice Extreme too strong, Rush Grape Ice Pro uses the same flavour at a lower level. The consistency is deliberate.
The pouches are all-white, slim format, and tobacco-free. Each can contains 20 pouches placed under the upper lip for 20 to 60 minutes per session. No smoke, no vapour, no odour.
The three Rush tiers: Light, Pro and Extreme
Understanding the three tiers is the quickest way to choose the right Rush product.
Rush Light (6mg) is the entry point. Six milligrams per pouch is a normal to moderate strength by industry standards, roughly in line with standard options from most major pouch brands. It delivers a clear nicotine effect that most occasional nicotine users and many regular users will find satisfying, without the intensity of higher-strength products. Rush Light is a sensible starting point if you have not used nicotine pouches before, or if you use relatively low-strength nic salts (5mg to 10mg).
Rush Pro (11mg) is the mid-tier. At 11mg per pouch, this is firmly in the extra-strong category by European pouch standards. It suits daily nicotine users who find standard-strength pouches insufficient, including those switching from higher-strength vaping (18mg to 20mg nic salts) or from cigarettes. The Pro tier is the most popular strength tier in most nicotine pouch ranges because it covers the largest group of regular adult nicotine users.
Rush Extreme (20mg) is the top tier. At 20mg per pouch, Extreme is in the ultra-strong category, comparable to the highest-strength options available in the UK market. At this level the nicotine hit is fast and pronounced, and is only suited to experienced, heavy nicotine users. If you are new to pouches or switching from a moderate nicotine habit, do not start at Extreme.
Rush strength tiers at a glance
All tiers are 20 pouches per can, slim all-white format, tobacco-free.
| Tier | Nicotine per pouch | Best for | Strength rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 6mg | New to pouches; lighter nicotine users; 5-10mg vapers | Normal / moderate |
| Pro | 11mg | Daily users; 18-20mg vapers; cigarette switchers | Extra strong |
| Extreme | 20mg | Heavy, experienced nicotine users only | Ultra strong |
Start at Light or Pro if you are unsure. It is easier to step up than to feel you have had too much. Extreme is not recommended for first-time pouch users.
Rush flavours: the full range at VapeCity
Rush at VapeCity covers three flavour families across the Light and Pro tiers, and three flavour options in the Extreme tier. All flavours have an ice or cooling element, which makes Rush a good match for users who want a fresh, cold sensation rather than a warm or sweet profile.
Ice Cool is the cleanest option in the range: a straight cooling mint with no fruit component. It is the most familiar profile for anyone who uses mint-forward pouches from other brands, and the one to start with if you want a neutral reference point for the Rush format. Ice Cool is available in Light, Pro and Extreme.
Berry Ice combines a mixed berry base with a cooling finish. The berry character comes through clearly without being sweet or artificial, and the ice element keeps it fresh rather than heavy. It is available in Light and Pro.
Mango Freeze pairs a tropical mango note with a menthol cooling effect. The mango is the dominant character on first placement, with the cooling arriving on the second or third minute. Available in Light and Pro.
Nordic Frost (Pro only) is a stronger, more Scandinavian mint profile than Ice Cool. Where Ice Cool is clean and neutral, Nordic Frost has a sharper, more pronounced peppermint character. Available in Pro.
Icy Grape (Pro only) delivers a dark grape flavour with a menthol cooling finish. It is a more unusual profile than the mint or berry options and suits users who want something different from the standard pouch range.
Green Mint (Pro only) is a lighter, more herbaceous mint than Ice Cool, closer to spearmint. It is less intense on the cooling front but has a more complex botanical character.
Cherry Chill (Extreme only) is a dark cherry flavour with a cooling finish, available at 20mg only. Boost Mint (Extreme) is a high-intensity mint. Grape Ice (Extreme) completes the Extreme tier with a grape profile at maximum strength.

How to use Rush nicotine pouches
Same process as all slim nicotine pouches. Takes a few seconds to set up, then hands-free for 20 to 60 minutes.
- 1
Open the Rush can
Pull the tab to open the can. Take one pouch. The can lid has a catch compartment under the lid for used pouches if you don't have a bin nearby.
- 2
Place under your upper lip
Tuck the pouch between your gum and upper lip, towards one side of your mouth. Press it gently into place. A slim pouch seated correctly is almost unnoticeable.
- 3
Leave it in
Keep the pouch in for 20 to 60 minutes. You will feel a brief tingle as the nicotine begins absorbing; this is normal and fades after a few minutes. The cooling sensation in Rush products is more noticeable than in some other brands.
- 4
Remove and dispose
Remove when the flavour has faded or you have had enough nicotine. Dispose of the used pouch in general waste, or in the catch compartment under the lid. Do not swallow.
Which Rush tier should I use?
LIGHT / PRORush Light (6mg) or Rush Pro (11mg)
Right for most nicotine users
6mg to start; 11mg if you use regularly
- Light suits new-to-pouches and lower-strength vapers.
- Pro suits daily users and cigarette switchers.
- Both share flavour profiles so you can step up easily.
- Start here if you are unsure.
EXTREMERush Extreme (20mg)
Maximum strength only
For experienced heavy users
- 20mg per pouch is ultra strong.
- Fast and pronounced nicotine hit.
- Not a starting point for beginners.
- Cherry Chill, Boost Mint, Grape Ice only.
When in doubt, start lower. You can always move up a tier. It is harder to have a pleasant experience if you start at 20mg before you know how pouches affect you.
Nicotine is addictive
Rush nicotine pouches contain nicotine, which is addictive. They are intended for adult nicotine users only. 18+ age verification is required at checkout. Rush Extreme contains 20mg per pouch; do not use at this strength unless you are an experienced nicotine user. Do not swallow pouches. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If you are trying to quit nicotine entirely, speak to your GP or contact the NHS Stop Smoking service.
Running cost: Rush nicotine pouches vs vaping
A 10-can pack of Rush at £20.00 contains 200 pouches. At 10 pouches a day, that lasts 20 days, at a daily cost of £1.00. At 15 pouches a day it lasts 13 days, at a daily cost of roughly £1.54. This is among the lower daily costs in the nicotine pouch category and compares favourably with most vaping formats.
Against vaping, Rush works out cheaper than most nic salt options at equivalent usage levels. A 10ml nic salt bottle at £4 lasting two days would cost £2 per day. Rush at 10 pouches a day costs £1. The comparison shifts in favour of vaping for heavy vapers (multiple bottles a day), but for moderate nicotine use Rush is cost-effective.
Compared to cigarettes, the saving is significant. A 20-a-day cigarette habit at £12+ per pack costs more than £12 per day. Rush at even 20 pouches a day costs £2 per day. The nic salts and refillable pod kits on VapeCity offer similar daily cost comparisons if you want to explore vaping as an alternative.

Frequently asked questions
What is Rush nicotine pouches?+
Rush is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch brand made by Dhalokia Tobacco. The brand comes in three strength tiers: Light (6mg per pouch), Pro (11mg per pouch) and Extreme (20mg per pouch). All pouches are slim all-white format with 20 per can, used by placing under the upper lip for 20 to 60 minutes. No tobacco, no smoke, no vapour.
What is the difference between Rush Light, Pro and Extreme?+
The tiers differ only in nicotine strength per pouch: Light is 6mg (normal/moderate), Pro is 11mg (extra strong) and Extreme is 20mg (ultra strong). The flavour profiles are the same or similar across tiers, so you can step up or down in strength without changing flavour. Pro has the largest flavour selection, including Nordic Frost, Icy Grape and Green Mint exclusive to that tier.
Which Rush strength should I start with?+
Start with Light (6mg) if you are new to nicotine pouches or currently use low-strength nic salts (5-10mg). Start with Pro (11mg) if you are a daily smoker, use 18-20mg nic salts, or have used pouches before. Only choose Extreme (20mg) if you are an experienced, heavy nicotine user. Starting at too high a strength can cause dizziness and nausea.
How many Rush pouches should I use per day?+
Most adult nicotine users use between 8 and 15 pouches per day. Each pouch lasts 20 to 60 minutes depending on preference. One can of 20 pouches typically lasts one to two days for a regular user. Do not exceed the number of pouches that satisfies your nicotine need.
Are Rush nicotine pouches tobacco-free?+
Yes. Rush nicotine pouches contain no tobacco leaf or tobacco-derived material. They contain nicotine, water, plant-based filler, and food-grade flavourings. They are not classified as tobacco products under UK law and are not subject to tobacco-specific tax.
How long do you leave a Rush pouch in?+
Between 20 and 60 minutes per pouch is typical. The nicotine effect is strongest in the first 15 to 20 minutes and continues at a lower level as the session progresses. Remove the pouch when the flavour fades or you have had enough. Dispose in general waste or in the catch compartment inside the Rush can lid. Do not swallow.
Can I use Rush pouches instead of vaping?+
Yes. Rush pouches are a direct nicotine alternative to vaping, without any device, coil, liquid or inhalation. The nicotine absorbs through the gum tissue rather than the lungs. Onset is slightly slower than vaping but most users find the nicotine delivery from Rush Pro or Extreme satisfying within a few minutes. The absence of a device makes them useful when vaping is not practical.
How much do Rush nicotine pouches cost at VapeCity?+
Rush is sold in 10-can packs of 200 pouches (20 pouches per can) at £20.00 per pack. This works out at £2.00 per can or 10p per individual pouch. At 10 pouches a day, a pack lasts 20 days at a daily cost of £1.00.
