Velo Peppermint Storm Nicotine Pouches

Peppermint Storm is a clean menthol pouch with none of the sweetness the fruit flavours bring, and it now runs across three strengths, 10.9mg, 14mg and 17mg. All are slim cans of 20 pouches, tobacco free and made by BAT.

What Peppermint Storm tastes like

Velo describe menthol and peppermint, in that order, and the pouch matches the billing. Menthol arrives first and stays cold, with peppermint giving it enough flavour to avoid tasting medicinal. It is drier than Velo Freezing Peppermint, which carries more sweetness alongside the freeze, so Peppermint Storm suits anyone who wants the cold without a sugary note behind it.

Reading the dots on a Velo can

The row of six dots on the front of a Velo can is the whole strength marking, because no milligram figure is printed on the tin at all. Count the filled ones. Two means 6mg, three means anything from 8mg to 10mg, four means 10.9mg, five means 14mg and six means 17mg. Velo do not publish the key anywhere, so the dots are easy to misread without it. Peppermint Storm covers 10.9mg at 4 dots, 14mg at 5 dots and 17mg at 6 dots, so pick by the dot count if the label is all you can see.

Which strength should I choose?

Three strengths are built for Peppermint Storm, all of them aimed at established users. The 10.9mg shows four filled dots at 20.3mg/g in a 10.7g can, which is a solid daily level. The 14mg shows five dots at 20mg/g in a 14g can. The 17mg fills all six dots at 31.8mg/g in a 10.7g can and is as strong as Velo go in the UK. Anyone still finding their level should start with the two and three dot cans in the Velo pouch lineup instead.

How to use Velo nicotine pouches

1. Place one pouch between your gum and your top lip, flat side against the gum.
2. Leave it alone while it works. Do not chew it and do not swallow it.
3. A short tingle at the start is normal and fades after a minute or two.
4. Velo say to dispose of each pouch after 30 minutes of use, then bin the used pouch.
