SYX - Cool Mint

SYX Cool Mint: The Middle Mint

SYX Cool Mint is a mint with the cooling turned up, sold in slim, tobacco-free pouches at 12mg per pouch. In the SYX line-up it fills the gap between the everyday mints and the full-on menthol of SYX Freeze. Think of it as the Goldilocks can for people who find Peppermint a bit tame and Freeze a bit much.

Every brand needs a flavour like this, and plenty of regular pouch users end up living on one. It is the sort of can you buy once, forget about, and realise three months later you have ordered five more times.

What Does SYX Cool Mint Taste Like?

SYX publishes very little in the way of tasting notes for this one, so take the name at its word: mint, and cool. You get a recognisable mint flavour, clean rather than sweet, with a noticeable chill layered on top. The cooling is stronger than in SYX Peppermint but you can still taste the mint underneath it, which is the key difference from Freeze, where the cold rather drowns everything else.

It is refreshing without being showy. Good after a coffee, good on a commute, good for anyone who wants to feel like they have just brushed their teeth without the faff of actually brushing their teeth.

How Strong Is SYX Cool Mint?

We carry it at 12mg. SYX prints its strength per pouch, and the brand's figure for this rung is about 11.5mg of nicotine in each pouch.

Cooling and nicotine both tingle, so a 12mg Cool Mint may feel a shade punchier than a 12mg fruit. If you would rather start lower, the 6mg options in the range are Peppermint, Spearmint, Blueberry, Wild Cherry and Tropical.

Where Cool Mint Sits Among the SYX Mints

A practical tip: if you are unsure whether you want Cool Mint or Freeze, start here. It is far easier to decide you want more cold than to spend a whole pack wishing you had less.

How to Use SYX Cool Mint

Place a pouch under your top lip and leave it for 20 to 40 minutes. The chill peaks in the first few minutes, then settles into a steady freshness. Move the pouch to a different spot each time if your gum feels tender after strong mints.

Should You Buy SYX Cool Mint?

If you already use a 10mg to 12mg mint from another brand and want something colder but not extreme, it is a very easy recommendation. If you want your mint mild and sweet, Spearmint suits you better. Brand new to pouches? Skip the 12mg entirely and start on the low strength shelf.

SYX Cool Mint is sold in packs of 10 cans. Mix it with any flavour from the SYX range; the more cans in your basket, the lower the price per can. More cold mints are on our minty flavour shelf. 18+ only; nicotine is addictive.
