CaffPack Is Here: Why I Built a Nicotine-Free Caffeine Pouch (And Branded It Into My Skin)

By Houston (HBO)

So I let Mark press a 630-degree piece of metal into my body on camera. On purpose. To launch a caffeine pouch.

I know how that sounds. Stay with me.

If you've seen the announcement video, you already know the joke. I'm branding my brand. Burning the logo of my new company into my skin to launch it. Physical marketing. Very practical. Maybe not. (And as always, please never try anything you see me do in that video. We very much learned it the old-fashioned way, which is to say: trial and error, mostly error.)

But underneath the stupid, painful bit, there's a real product I've spent years on and genuinely care about. So here's the whole story of CaffPack, why I made it, and what it actually is.

What is CaffPack?

CaffPack is a nicotine-free caffeine pouch built for clean, focused energy anytime, anywhere. You pop one in, it goes to work, and you get on with your day. No drink to carry, no can to crush, no sugar high followed by the inevitable crash.

Each pouch combines caffeine with nootropics like L-theanine to give you smooth, steady energy instead of that shaky, over-caffeinated feeling. No sugar. No calories. No crash. No jitters. And to be very clear, because it matters: zero nicotine.

That last part is the whole point. There are a lot of pouches out there. Almost none of them are actually built to give you energy without hooking you on something.

Why I made it (the real reason)

Here's the honest version.

For a long time, I'd gotten comfortable. I was making videos, which I love, but I wasn't really challenging myself outside of YouTube anymore. I was coasting a bit, and I knew it.

Then life did that thing where it reminds you that nothing lasts forever. The people you care about won't always be around. Priorities change. And if you never step outside your comfort zone, you're probably going to end up with a pile of regrets you can't do anything about.

CaffPack was my way of changing that. It's the thing I made myself build, from scratch, even when it would have been easier to just keep filming and stay in my lane.

And it took years. I traveled around the world to film the marketing campaign. I spent an embarrassing amount of time refining the formula and the flavors. I went through manufacturer after manufacturer until I found one that could actually make the product I had in my head. I wasn't going to put my name on something I didn't believe in.

So I want you to know that this isn't a "creator slaps their face on a random product" situation. This is something I use every single day.

Why a pouch, and not an energy drink or a nicotine pouch?

I've relied on nicotine pouches for years, and I've drank more energy drinks than I'd like to admit. Neither one ever gave me exactly what I wanted.

The energy drinks gave me the caffeine, but also the sugar, the calories, the crash, and the feeling that I'd just chugged a can of anxiety. The nicotine pouches were convenient and easy to carry, but, well, they're nicotine.

What I actually wanted was the convenient part without the nicotine part. Clean energy I could take anywhere, that didn't leave me wired then wrecked an hour later. That gap is exactly what CaffPack was built to fill.

There's also the money side, which honestly surprised even me. One tin of CaffPack has about the same amount of caffeine as 15 Red Bulls. Fifteen Red Bulls would run you around $45. One tin of CaffPack is $7.99. I wanted this to be something people could actually afford to use every day, not a luxury.

How I actually use it

I'm not going to pretend there's a "right" way to use these. But for what it's worth, here's when I reach for one:

Before the gym, when I need to lock in but don't want a stomach full of liquid. During a long filming or work session, when the afternoon slump is coming for me. Studying or grinding through something boring that needs focus. Gaming, obviously. And travel days, when there's no good coffee anywhere and I refuse to accept defeat.

Basically, anytime I need a boost and don't want to plan my whole life around finding a drink. Energy anytime, anywhere. That's the entire idea.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some more flesh to burn off.
