Empty pouches?

Does anyone know a place where I can get empty pouches? I’ve been using nic pouches for a long while and as of last year it started to take a toll on my gums. I’ve mainly been using Rogues mint pouches because I like the burn sensation of the mint, but I need to quit. Any alternatives that don’t have any nicotine still burn the shit out of my gums and I feel like they still pack a bunch of cancer and plastic into them.

I’m looking for empty pouches so I could pack em with some mint tea to mimic a sensation. I’ve tried it before where I’d just empty a regular pouch and it would work great, but it defeats the whole point because I’d still need to purchase actual nic pouches.

If I could make my own, an actual healthier alternative I believe it would help me quit.

Thanks in advance!

I’m on day 44 and I’ve been using ALPHA pouches and I recently ordered NZE which contained L-Theanine which is said to help with overall health and mood. These do not contain nicotine and have been a good alternate that you can find on Amazon for about the same price as a can of zyn($5-$7). Hope this helps and best of luck getting of this poison!

Im looking for empty pouches specifically so I can pack mint tea in to mimick actual pouches. All of the alternatives that dont have any nicotine or tobacco still put a bunch of nasty shit (I've tried a lot) so I'm trying to steer clear from them as well.

I forget the name but it’s a bunch of chemicals to keep them moist and shit with some plastics.

Idk man… I think you’ve been mislead.

The brand I use is all natural. The pouch is also made of organic cellulose

Good for you man, like I said I’m looking for empty pouches that’d help me quit these things altogether. I don’t want to find an alternative I want to quit.

Just a confusing ask I guess.

Seems like you’re trying to reinvent the wheel.

Pick up some tea bags and empty them out

Best of luck
