Velo Ruby Berry Nicotine Pouches

Ruby Berry is Velo's strawberry pouch with the sweetness pulled back and a little acidity left in, which stops it tasting like confectionery. It runs from 6mg up to 17mg, all slim cans of 20 pouches, tobacco free and made by BAT.

What Ruby Berry tastes like

Velo describe strawberry with tones of acidity, and that second part is the whole difference. The fruit is ripe but the finish is tart, closer to fresh berries than to jam, with no cooling agent involved. Velo Strawberry Ice is the sweeter and cooler alternative, so the two are worth trying side by side rather than treating them as one flavour.

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 Velo do not publish the key anywhere, so the dots are easy to misread without it. Ruby Berry covers 6mg at 2 dots, 10mg at 3 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?

Four strengths are built for Ruby Berry. The 6mg is the lightest at two dots, and Velo do not publish a milligram per gram figure for it. The 10mg is three dots at 14.3mg/g and the 14mg five dots at 20mg/g, both 14g cans. The 17mg fills all six dots at 31.8mg/g in a 10.7g can. All four are slim cans of 20, listed together in the Velo pouch lineup.
