Vapes Bars Nicotine Strips
Vapes Bars nicotine strips are wafer thin films that dissolve on the tongue. Sold under the brand's Angel name, each pack holds 20 strips at 2mg of nicotine per strip, sugar free, calorie free and containing no tobacco. This collection lists 20 products across the flavour range.
Speed is what separates a strip from every other oral nicotine format. A strip is gone in under a minute, where a lozenge takes 20 to 30 minutes and a pouch is worn for longer still. The pack itself is smaller than a card wallet, so it disappears into a pocket entirely. These are sold to adults aged 18 and over only.
What an oral nicotine strip is
A strip is a dissolvable film rather than a tablet. The nicotine and flavouring are carried in a thin edible layer that softens the moment it meets saliva, then breaks down completely on the tongue. There is nothing to spit out, nothing to chew and no residue. Because the film is so thin, the flavour hits immediately and fades just as quickly.
Handle strips with dry fingers. They begin to soften on contact with any moisture, so a damp hand will stick one to your fingertips before it reaches your mouth. Take a strip out, close the pack, then place the strip flat on the tongue.
Strips against lozenges and pouches
Speed
A strip dissolves in well under a minute. A lozenge takes 20 to 30 minutes. A nicotine pouch sits under the lip for anything up to 40 minutes. If you want something that fits into the gap between two meetings, the strip is the format built for it.
Discretion
All three are discreet, though the strip is the most invisible of them. Nothing sits in the cheek, nothing bulges under the lip and there is no used product to dispose of. Nobody watching would notice it.
Strength
Vapes Bars strips are 2mg per strip, matching the brand's lozenges. Nicotine pouches are the format to look at if you want anything stronger, since those commonly start at 4mg and run well past 20mg per portion.
The Angel flavour range
Mint family
Peppermint and Spearmint are the sharpest options and the cooling effect lingers after the film has gone, which makes them the closest thing in the range to a breath freshener.
Fruit
Apple, Orange, Pineapple, Raspberry, Strawberry, Banana and Triple Mango cover the bulk of the range. Triple Mango is the sweetest and the most concentrated of them, which suits the strip format because there is very little time for a flavour to develop.
Vanilla
Vanilla is the outlier and the only dessert style profile. It is softer than the fruits and lacks the cooling edge of the mints, so it suits evening use.
How to use one
Take a single strip from the pack with dry fingers and place it flat on your tongue. Close your mouth and let it dissolve. Do not chew or swallow it whole. The film breaks down in seconds and the nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the mouth rather than the stomach.
As with any oral nicotine product, avoid using one immediately after coffee, fruit juice or a fizzy drink. Those shift the pH of the mouth and reduce absorption, so leave a short gap. Follow the usage guidance printed on the pack rather than working through several strips one after another.
Who they suit
Strips work best as a supplement rather than a sole nicotine source. Most people buying them already vape or use pouches and want something for the situations where neither is practical. A flight, a train, a client meeting or a workplace where devices are not allowed. The small pack size means one lives permanently in a bag without being noticed.
If you want a longer release from the same brand, the Angel lozenges take 20 to 30 minutes to dissolve at the same 2mg strength. If you want more nicotine per use, nicotine pouches are the format to move to.
Storage, safety and delivery
Keep the pack sealed and dry. Humidity is the enemy of a dissolvable film, so a bathroom shelf or a damp coat pocket will ruin a pack faster than anything else. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight and keep every nicotine product well out of reach of children and pets.
Nicotine strips fall outside the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations that govern e-liquid, because they contain no tobacco and nothing is inhaled. Vapestore Direct sells them to adults aged 18 and over only and every order is age verified before dispatch. UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and the team is contactable on 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm.
Vapes Bars strip questions answered
How long does a nicotine strip take to dissolve?
Under a minute. The film softens as soon as it meets saliva and breaks down on the tongue in seconds, which makes it by far the fastest of the oral nicotine formats. A lozenge by comparison takes 20 to 30 minutes to work through.
How many strips are in a pack?
Twenty. Each Vapes Bars pack holds 20 strips at 2mg of nicotine per strip, so 40mg across the pack. They are sugar free and calorie free. The pack is small enough to keep in a pocket permanently.
Do nicotine strips contain tobacco?
No. They are tobacco free. The nicotine and flavouring are carried in a thin dissolvable edible film, with no tobacco leaf involved and nothing burned or heated. There is no smoke, no vapour and no ash.
What is the difference between a strip and a lozenge?
Speed and format. A strip is a thin film that dissolves on the tongue in under a minute. A lozenge is a compressed tablet that takes 20 to 30 minutes. Both Vapes Bars products are 2mg, so the choice is about how quickly you want it to work rather than how much nicotine is involved.
Which flavours are available?
The Angel range covers Peppermint and Spearmint on the mint side, then Apple, Orange, Pineapple, Raspberry, Strawberry, Banana and Triple Mango across the fruits. Vanilla is the only dessert style option. Triple Mango is the sweetest and the most concentrated.
Why did my strip stick to my fingers?
Because the film reacts to moisture instantly. Always take a strip out with dry hands and close the pack straight away. Storing the pack somewhere damp such as a bathroom shelf will soften the whole pack, so keep it dry and at room temperature.
Can I use strips instead of vaping?
They are usually used alongside a device rather than in place of one, covering flights, meetings and other situations where vaping is not practical. At 2mg per strip the dose is light. Keep track of your total nicotine intake across the day and follow the usage guidance printed on the pack.
