What Is a Nicotine Melt?

A nicotine melt is a small piece of oral nicotine that dissolves in your mouth. How it works and how it differs from pouches, gum and lozenges.

A nicotine melt is a small piece of oral nicotine that dissolves in your mouth. There is no device and nothing to chew. Here is how it works and how it differs from the other oral formats.

What a melt is

A melt is a small solid piece you place in your mouth and let dissolve. It is made from a dissolvable base that carries the nicotine and the flavour. As it breaks down, the nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth, the same way other oral nicotine works. It is tobacco-free, and there is no smoke and no device.

How you use it

You put it in your mouth and leave it. It dissolves on its own. You do not chew it and you do not spit anything out. When it has gone, there is nothing to take out and nothing to bin.

How a melt differs from the other formats

A pouch sits under your lip and gets removed and thrown away when you are done. A melt dissolves in place and leaves nothing behind. Gum has to be chewed and then parked against your cheek, with a technique that takes getting used to, while a melt needs none of that. The nicotine lozenge is the older pharmacy version of a dissolvable, sold as nicotine replacement therapy. A melt works in a similar way and is designed to dissolve without being parked against the cheek.

The NYXE melt

NYXE is a nicotine melt made for vapers. It is built to give a cooling sensation in the mouth as it dissolves. There is no liquid to carry and no battery to charge. It comes in four flavours: Mint, Strawberry, Peach and Pineapple.
