Why Do Metal Zyn Cans Have a Disposal Chamber?

One question I get all the time is: “What’s the point of the disposal chamber?”

(Or: “Does anyone actually store their used pouches there?”... Or: “Why don’t you get rid of the disposal chamber so it holds more pouches?”)

Fair questions… but won’t worry - I’ve got answers.

 

Two Types of Zynners

In my experience, there are really two types of Zynners:

  1. The Disposal Fans – Occasionally use the disposal chamber to stash used pouches and appreciate that it’s there in case of emergencies.

  2. The Anti-Disposal Crowd – Would probably rather swallow their pouches whole than ever use the disposal chamber.

Anti-Disposal Crowd, I’ve got great news for you. 

 

Enter The Chonk: For People Who Want to Hold More Zyns

This is exactly why we created The Chonk — our same premium metal Zyn can, but without the disposal chamber, so it holds more pouches (2 full cans of Zyns).

  • No disposal compartment

  • Holds 2x the pouches (perfect for Rogues, Velos, Cope)

  • Perfect for anyone who just wants more capacity

Z Caddy Design Philosophy #4: No single product is perfect for everyone. So we strive to make multiple products, each tailored to specific customer needs

 

But Why Have a Disposal Chamber at All?

 

Having a disposal chamber built-in to your Zyn can might not be something you use every day, but it comes in CLUTCH in certain situations. 

As a Group 1’er myself, here are some times it’s saved my ass:

  • At the movies Where do I put my used Zyns when I’m chaining them throughout K Pop Demon Hunters? The disposal chamber, that’s where. 

  • At a weddingwedding speeches can get LONG. It’s nice to have a spot to throw that Zyn burning a hole in your gum without causing a commotion. 

  • At work meetings / events… You’re on the 3rd powerpoint of the meeting, your boss is still taking attendance, but you need to ditch that pouch. Disposal chamber. 

It’s not about using it all the time - it’s about having a clutch backup option when you need it most. 

 

Which One’s Right for You?

  • If you value discretion, convenience, and flexibility, go with the OG Z Caddy (with disposal chamber).

  • If you’d rather have maximum capacity and don’t care about the extra compartment, the Chonk is your perfect match.

Either way, you’re getting the same high-quality, sleek, metal can that upgrades your everyday carry.

 

Final Word

So, do people actually use the disposal chamber?

The answer is: sometimes yes, sometimes never.

That’s why we make both - so you can get the can that’s right for you.
