ELF Snus by Elfbar | Nicotine Pouches Without Tobacco
Wherever you see “ELF BAR,” intense flavor is never far away! This also applies to ELF, the nicotine pouches from Elfbar, which were previously sold under the name Tacja. Extremely intense flavors with a high freshness factor guarantee you an exceptionally intense and long-lasting experience. Each ELF can contains 20 nicotine pouches, which can be kept in your mouth for up to half an hour, depending on your preference. Look forward to a nicotine rush with a long-lasting freshness experience—completely smoke- and vapor-free!
New: ELF Pouches Made in Switzerland
Until recently, Elf Snus was produced in China and flown to Switzerland. Starting in September 2026, Elfbar is focusing on even higher quality and will have the popular Elf Nicotine Pouches produced in Switzerland, in the canton of Zug. The difference in quality is noticeable: we give the Swiss version of Elf 10 out of 10 stars for taste and texture from its cool black snus can!
All ELFBAR Snus Varieties
With its new ELF Snus, Elfbar is attempting to challenge market leader Velo for market share. Here’s an overview of the flavors Elfbar is introducing to the nicotine pouch market:
- Watermelon: One of the most popular vape flavors is also featured in Elf Snus: Ice-Cold Watermelon.
- Max Polar Mint: The perfect ELF flavor for anyone looking for an icy burst of freshness in their mouth.
- Cool Storm: Not as cool as Max Polar Mint, but still pure refreshment with delicious mint.
- Blueberry Raspberry: With this delicious mix of blueberries and raspberries, Elfbar is launching another snus flavor that is often used in e-cigarettes.
What nicotine strengths are available?
Elfbar 's Swiss All White Snus is available in the following two nicotine strengths.
- 17 mg/g: The lower nicotine content is 12 mg per pouch
- 28 mg/g: the higher nicotine strength contains 20 mg per pouch
👉 There are also plans for another flavor with 6 mg of nicotine per pouch.
Elf Snus vs. VELO
If you compare Elf's nicotine pouches with VELO's pouches, you'll notice a lot of similarities. We'll show you which product comes out on top in each category.
Bag size
VELO nicotine pouches come in various sizes, including Slim and Mini. ELF Snus Pouches, on the other hand, are available only in the Slim size.
If you place the slim pouches from both brands side by side, the VELO Pouches appear slightly more compact. Which size is more comfortable ultimately comes down to personal preference.
Taste spectrum
Both snus brands offer a variety of flavors. ELF combines classic mint and fresh flavors with fruity ones, some of which are already familiar from the vapes at Elfbar.
Flavors like Watermelon and Blueberry Raspberry, in particular, set ELF apart from many classic nicotine pouches.
Nicotine strengths
VELO offers a wider selection of different nicotine strengths. For the Swiss ELF Snus, Elfbar currently focuses on two varieties containing 12 mg and 20 mg of nicotine per pouch, respectively.
As a result, ELF is currently aimed primarily at consumers who prefer a clearly noticeable nicotine content.
Taste and aroma
In terms of taste, ELF scores exceptionally well in our comparison. The fruity varieties, in particular, taste natural and bring flavors to the world of nicotine pouches for which Elfbar is already well-known in the vaping community.
Flavor intensity: ELF flavors are more intense
The flavors of the ELF Pouches are particularly intense right after insertion. In a direct comparison with VELO, we find the flavor of ELF to be more pronounced at the beginning.
Whether this intense flavor is an advantage or a disadvantage is a matter of personal taste. However, anyone looking for a strong burst of freshness and aroma will likely find this to be just the thing.
Longer release time for VELO
With VELO, the taste experience can last up to about 45 minutes, depending on the product. In our experience, with ELF, it tends to last up to 30 minutes.
In the VELO products we tested, the flavor and nicotine were released more evenly over a longer period of time. ELF, on the other hand, stands out for its particularly intense flavor right from the start.
Moisture of the nicotine pouches
ELF nicotine pouches feel slightly drier than VELO pouches. As a result, they absorb moisture in the mouth a little more slowly and “leak” less.
With the earlier TACJA Pouches, we had noticed in some cases that the pouches could stick slightly in the mouth area after prolonged use. The new ELF generation, made in Switzerland, seems to be of significantly higher quality in this regard.
ELF Instead of TACJA: What Has Changed?
Elfbar 's first nicotine pouches were launched under the name TACJA. The product already stood out with its wide selection of flavors, but in our opinion, its quality still didn't quite measure up to established brands like VELO.
Elfbar has further refined its nicotine pouches with ELF. The new Swiss version, in particular, represents a significant step forward in terms of taste, freshness, and texture. TACJA isn’t simply becoming ELF— Elfbar is redefining the quality of its nicotine pouches through Swiss production.
Conclusion: How good is the new ELF snus?
Elfbar With ELF made in Switzerland, the company has once again significantly raised the bar and improved upon its previous models, particularly in terms of freshness, taste, and texture.
VELO, from British American Tobacco (BAT), continues to offer advantages in terms of nicotine strength options and long, steady release. ELF Snus, on the other hand, really stands out for its intense flavor and, in particular, its fruity aromas.
For fans of the popular “ Elfbar ” flavors, ELF is therefore an exciting alternative to traditional nicotine pouches. Elfbar is thus well on its way to becoming one of the leading brands in the tobacco-free nicotine pouch market in Switzerland.
