Killa 13 is a flagship product from NGP Empire in Halmstad, Sweden, launched under the Killa brand known for fruit-forward nicotine pouches. Each slim portion contains 16 mg of nicotine per gram, derived from a 24 mg/g salt blend, placing it in the upper-medium segment where flavour leads and the kick follows quickly. The can holds 20 portions, weighs 13 g net and is decorated with matte black and neon green graphics that mimic classic energy drink styling.
The flavour arc opens with a sweet citrus top note, developed from natural extract sourced in Sicily. Within one minute a subtle tutti-frutti layer moves forward, adding complexity that prevents the taste from becoming one-dimensional. After twelve minutes the sweetness fades and a faint cooling menthol tail appears, reminiscent of iced energy drinks. Users report that the profile stays consistent for twenty-five minutes, then tapers off before any artificial aftertaste emerges.
Portion fabric is spun from triple-layer micro-fleece, 0.18 mm thick and snow-white. The outer shell is perforated with 1 100 micro-holes per cm², allowing rapid nicotine release while preventing small particles from escaping. Inner layers trap moisture, so drip volume stays below 0.02 ml per portion. Low drip means the throat hit remains smooth even at 16 mg strength, a balance that newcomers to the strong category find welcoming.
Manufacturing runs on a five-week rotation. NGP Empire produces Killa 13 in small batches of 50 000 cans to maintain freshness. Every batch passes a 48-hour climate test at 30 °C and 70 % humidity; if nicotine degradation exceeds 1 % or energy-drink aroma drops below 90 %, the batch is discarded. This strict protocol shortens shelf life to twelve months unopened, yet guarantees that the first pouch from the last can tastes identical to day one.
Lab sheets posted by Eurofins show heavy-metal values below 0.03 ppm and zero tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Citrus extract is verified at 0.8 %, within a 5 % tolerance that satisfies Swedish food safety law. Microbial screening registers under 100 cfu/g, confirming that the plant fibers are cleaner than many rival brands.
Retail price sits at €4.20 per can inside the EU and 42 SEK in Sweden. Online bulk boxes of ten cans drop the unit cost to €3.30, a discount that fuels cross-border shipments to countries where flavoured pouches face restrictions. Customs officers usually wave the pouches through because the contents are tobacco-free, yet Norway and Finland still levy nicotine tax at 2.20 € per gram, raising the retail price to €6.50 per can.
User feedback clusters around two poles
Gamers praise the energy-drink profile, claiming it removes the urge for sugary cans and saves 150 kcal per session. Office workers in Berlin report keeping a can at their desk to pair with sparkling water, rotating between Killa 13 and Killa Blueberry after lunch to reset the palate. On the downside, the sweet profile feels heavy during workouts; runners prefer menthol variants when heart rate climbs above 150 bpm.
Environmental notes are printed inside the lid. The can is made from 75 % recycled HDPE and can be deposited in Nordic plastic-return machines for a €0.10 refund. Portion fabric biodegrades 60 % within 120 days under industrial compost, slightly slower than pure cellulose because of the bonding agent, still outperforming traditional tea-bag material.
Seasonal data show sales spikes between 20:00 and 02:00, aligning with gaming and streaming prime time. Stockholm convenience stores reorder Killa 13 every six days, while Gothenburg suburbs restock weekly. Online baskets often pair it with Killa Watermelon, creating a two-flavour rotation that covers citrus and fresh profiles throughout the day.
Whether you need a night-shift companion or a calorie-free energy boost during gaming, Killa 13 delivers 16 mg of nicotine wrapped in energy-drink aroma that lasts for twenty-five minutes of balanced pleasure.
