Choosing a nicotine pouch often comes down to three practical questions: what does it taste like, how much nicotine does it contain, and is the format suitable for the way you already use nicotine? Those questions matter more than marketing claims, particularly when comparing different pouch strengths and flavours.
FUMi Blackcurrant Nicotine Pouch is designed around a dark berry flavour rather than the mint, menthol or tobacco profiles commonly associated with nicotine products. It is available in two strengths, Regular 4mg and Strong 8mg per pouch, with 20 pouches in each can.
This review looks specifically at the product sold by Vape Shop Birmingham, covering its flavour profile, available strengths, pouch format, usage, practical considerations and what adult nicotine users can reasonably expect from it.
Before looking closely at the flavour and strengths, the main product specifications are worth establishing.

The distinction between nicotine per pouch and nicotine per gram is important. For someone choosing between products, the amount of nicotine contained in an individual pouch is usually the more immediately useful figure because that is the amount contained in each pouch they use.
FUMi uses the terms Regular and Strong to distinguish its two options. These labels should not be treated as universal nicotine-strength standards across all vape shops or nicotine pouch brands. Strength terminology can vary considerably, so checking the stated nicotine content is the more reliable way to compare products.
The defining feature of this product is its blackcurrant flavour.
Blackcurrant has a distinctive character that is different from sweeter berry flavours such as strawberry or raspberry. It typically has a darker fruit profile with a noticeable sharpness, followed by a smoother berry finish. FUMi Blackcurrant follows that general flavour direction, producing a rich currant character rather than a bright, candy-style fruit profile.
The flavour can be described in three stages.
Initial character: The blackcurrant note provides the main flavour immediately, giving the pouch a recognisable dark berry profile.
Middle profile: The fruit character remains present without changing into a mint or menthol sensation. This is particularly relevant for users who prefer fruit flavours and do not want the cooling effect associated with many traditional pouch varieties.
Finish: The flavour settles into a smoother berry note. It is less about an intense burst and more about maintaining the blackcurrant character while the pouch is in use.
Flavour perception is subjective, of course. Individual taste preferences, previous nicotine use and familiarity with berry flavours can all affect how a pouch is perceived. A user accustomed to strong menthol products may find a fruit-based pouch noticeably different, while someone already familiar with berry nicotine products may find the profile more recognisable.
The two FUMi Blackcurrant options contain different amounts of nicotine per pouch.
The Regular version contains 4mg of nicotine per pouch, while the Strong version contains 8mg per pouch. That means the Strong pouch contains twice the stated nicotine amount of the Regular pouch.
This is the most significant difference between the two variants. The blackcurrant flavour remains the central product characteristic, while the nicotine content changes according to the selected strength.
For an adult who already uses nicotine, choosing between these variants should be based on their existing nicotine use and the strength they are accustomed to, rather than simply choosing Strong because the name sounds more substantial.
A higher nicotine content is not automatically a better option. Someone who is already comfortable with a lower nicotine level may have no reason to select the stronger variant. Conversely, someone accustomed to a higher nicotine intake may find a lower-strength pouch does not correspond with their usual preference.

These figures also demonstrate why comparing products solely by labels such as Regular, Strong, Medium or Extra Strong can be misleading. The actual nicotine quantity should always be checked on the product packaging.
Nicotine is addictive. FUMi Blackcurrant Nicotine Pouches are intended for adults aged 18 and over who already use nicotine.
FUMi Blackcurrant is a nicotine pouch rather than a vape product. That distinction affects how the product is used.
A nicotine pouch does not require a vape device, battery, coil, tank or e-liquid. It also does not produce smoke or vapour. Instead, the pouch is positioned beneath the upper lip, where the nicotine and flavour are gradually released.
For an existing nicotine user, this means the product represents a different delivery format rather than simply another flavour of vape liquid.
That difference can be particularly relevant when considering where and how a nicotine product is used. A vape requires a functioning device and involves vapour production. A nicotine pouch does not involve either.
It is also important not to assume that nicotine pouches and vape products deliver nicotine in identical ways or produce an equivalent experience. They are different product formats, and nicotine absorption can vary according to the product, strength and individual use.
Using the pouch correctly is straightforward.
Open the can and remove one pouch.
Position it comfortably beneath the upper lip.
Leave it in place while the nicotine and flavour are released.
Remove the pouch after use.
Dispose of it responsibly.
The pouch should not be chewed or swallowed. Users should also avoid using multiple nicotine pouches simultaneously, particularly when trying a new strength.
If the pouch causes significant discomfort or you feel unwell, remove it. Nicotine can cause unwanted effects, particularly when too much is consumed.
The product is designed for oral use and should be kept away from children and pets. Used pouches should also be disposed of appropriately rather than left where they could be accessed by children or animals.
Each FUMi Blackcurrant can contains 20 nicotine pouches.
The Regular and Strong versions contain the same number of pouches. The difference is the nicotine content per individual pouch.
This makes the can format straightforward to compare when shopping. If you are assessing different products, check both the number of pouches and the nicotine quantity per pouch rather than judging value from the can price alone.
For example, two cans may contain 20 pouches each but have different nicotine strengths. The number of pouches therefore does not tell you everything about the product.
FUMi Blackcurrant is most relevant to adult existing nicotine users who prefer fruit-based flavours, particularly those looking for a blackcurrant profile rather than mint, menthol or tobacco.
The Regular and Strong options also make the product relevant to users who want to select between two clearly stated nicotine levels.
It is not necessary to treat the product as a beginner's nicotine product. Anyone who does not currently use nicotine should not start using nicotine pouches simply because they are tobacco-free or do not produce vapour. Nicotine remains addictive regardless of whether it comes from a vape, pouch or another nicotine product.
For existing users, the more useful questions are whether the flavour matches their preference, whether the nicotine strength corresponds with their established use and whether the pouch format suits their needs.
Flavour selection is one of the main reasons experienced users move between nicotine pouch products.
Mint and menthol pouches tend to provide a cooling flavour profile. Tobacco-style options focus on a more traditional taste. Fruit-based products move in another direction, with flavours such as berry, citrus and other fruit profiles.
FUMi Blackcurrant sits firmly within the fruit category. Its dark currant character gives it a different profile from brighter, sweeter fruit flavours.
This makes it particularly relevant to someone who already knows they prefer berry-based nicotine products but wants something with a more distinctive blackcurrant character.
Rather than assuming that a stronger nicotine pouch will also have a stronger flavour, it is better to consider the two characteristics separately. Strength refers to nicotine content, while flavour describes the taste profile. A product can have a strong nicotine level without having an equally intense flavour.

The most accurate way to assess FUMi Blackcurrant is to separate its three key characteristics: flavour, nicotine strength and format.
The flavour is centred on dark blackcurrant with a distinctive berry character and smoother finish. The nicotine options are clearly separated into 4mg Regular and 8mg Strong per pouch. The format is tobacco-free, smoke-free and vapour-free, with 20 pouches supplied in each can.
The product does not require charging, refilling or a vape device. Instead, one pouch is placed beneath the upper lip for gradual release of nicotine and flavour.
For an existing adult nicotine user, those specifications provide the information needed to decide whether the product fits their preferences. The choice between Regular and Strong should be based on their existing nicotine use rather than the assumption that higher strength is necessarily preferable.
FUMi Blackcurrant stands out primarily because of its dark berry flavour and straightforward strength options. The 4mg Regular and 8mg Strong variants give existing adult nicotine users a clear choice, while the 20-pouch can provides a consistent format across both versions.
Its flavour makes it particularly relevant to people who prefer blackcurrant and other fruit profiles over mint, menthol or tobacco flavours. The pouch format also provides an alternative to vaping without requiring a device or producing vapour.
At Vape Shop Birmingham, we provide both FUMi Blackcurrant strengths for adult nicotine users who are looking specifically for this flavour and pouch format. Check the stated nicotine content carefully before choosing between Regular and Strong, and always keep nicotine products away from children and pets.
The Regular version contains 4mg nicotine per pouch, while Strong contains 8mg. The blackcurrant flavour remains the same.
It has a rich blackcurrant flavour with a distinctive dark berry character and smooth finish.
Each can contains 20 pouches, available in either Regular 4mg or Strong 8mg strength.
No. It is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch that does not require a device, charging or produce vapour.
