A Northerner alternative — and something worth knowing first
Here's a fact that surprises most pouch buyers: Northerner and Haypp are the same company. Both are storefronts of Haypp Group, the Stockholm-listed retail giant, running on the same supply chain with slightly different pricing. When you "compare" Northerner against Haypp to find the better deal, you're comparing a company against itself — and it wins either way.
Credit where due: Northerner has been at this since 1998, carries nearly 500 products, and Haypp Group's NicoLeaks lab-testing programme is a genuine service to the category. But it's still a broker model — hundreds of other companies' products, each carrying an importer margin, a platform margin and a promotional calendar designed to look like a sale.
The "from 99p" on their homepage is rotating clearance on selected flavours. LUMI's 99p is the standing price of everything we make.

When Northerner is the right choice
Breadth. Nearly five hundred products, decades of logistics experience, proper age verification. If you're sampling across the whole market, it does the job well.
When LUMI is
When you've finished sampling. Once you know your strength and flavour, a broker's breadth stops being a feature and starts being a margin you're paying for. One factory, one price, no clearance roulette.
FAQs
Are Northerner and Haypp the same company?
Yes — both are storefronts of Haypp Group, sharing the same parent, supply chain and infrastructure, with slightly different pricing between the two sites.
Is LUMI's 99p the same as Northerner's "from 99p"?
No. Northerner's is rotating clearance on selected flavours. LUMI's 99p is the permanent price of every can, every strength, every flavour — no caps, no tiers.
Is LUMI lab-tested like brands on Northerner?
Yes — every LUMI batch is tested by an independent third-party laboratory, and we publish the results on our product pages. Haypp Group's NicoLeaks programme separately tests products sold through its own stores.
