Headshop at Snustrend: what we stock and what applies in Switzerland

The term "headshop" traditionally refers to shops that sell smoking accessories such as grinders, pipes, papers or storage tins. Many people who look for the headshop at Snustrend expect exactly this range. So that you don't search in vain, we'll say it openly here: we currently do not stock grinders, bongs, pipes or papers. In this article you will learn what a headshop typically offers, what you actually find in our Headshop category and which rules apply in Switzerland.

What is a headshop?

A headshop is a specialist shop for smoking and enjoyment accessories. Typical product groups are:

• Grinders (herb mills): for grinding tobacco or herbs, usually made of metal, acrylic or wood.
• Pipes and bongs: smoking devices made of glass, acrylic or ceramic.
• Papers, filters and rolling aids: for rolling your own.
• Scales and storage: tins and jars that keep contents fresh and hold in odours.

Many headshops today also sell e-cigarettes, liquids and smoke-free nicotine products. This is exactly the part Snustrend focuses on.

What you find in the Headshop category at Snustrend

In our Headshop category you currently find mainly disposable vapes from the Aroma King Cosmic Max range. The devices are compact, ready to use and, according to the manufacturer, have a 550 mAh battery, a 2 ml tank and 20 mg/ml nicotine salt. Various flavours are available, for example:

• Aroma King Cosmic Max Mint 20mg for anyone who likes it fresh
• Aroma King Cosmic Max Mixed Berries 20mg with a berry flavour
• Aroma King Cosmic Max Mango Ice 20mg with mango and a cool note
• Aroma King Cosmic Max Sour Apple 20mg with sour apple

You can find more disposable devices under Disposable vapes. If you vape regularly, it is best to look at rechargeable pod systems: only the pod is replaced, not the whole device.

Other ranges for connoisseurs

Besides vapes, Snustrend mainly offers smoke-free nicotine and tobacco products:

• Snus and nicotine pouches: from well-known brands such as VELO, ZYN, Siberia or Odens, in many strengths and flavours.
• Snuff: classic and flavoured varieties, for example from Pöschl or McChrystal's.
• Liquids: for refillable devices.

Our article on snus dosage in mg explains which snus strength suits you.

What to look for when buying vapes

Empty devices belong in electronic waste collection, not in household rubbish. You can read more about the tax in Vape tax in Switzerland.
