Velo Strawberry Ice Nicotine Pouches

Strawberry Ice is the flavour most people try first when they move across to pouches, familiar fruit with a cold finish and nothing complicated about it. It is a slim can of 20 pouches, tobacco free and made by BAT, in one 10mg strength for the UK.

What Strawberry Ice tastes like

Velo describe cooling strawberry, and it lands as ripe, jammy fruit rather than fresh berries off the plant. The sweetness is steady, the cooling is light, and neither part fights the other for attention. Velo Cherry Ice is the obvious comparison in the same family, darker and a touch sharper on the finish, while Strawberry Ice is the softer and more familiar of the pair.

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 Velo do not publish the key anywhere, so the dots are easy to misread without it. Strawberry Ice is built at 10mg, so the can in front of you shows 3 filled dots.

Which strength should I choose?

There is a single strength for this flavour, 10mg at 14.3mg/g, printed as 3 filled dots and packed in a 14g can. Three dots is the standard fruit strength and a reasonable place to start for an adult already using nicotine. Should you want more, the Velo pouch lineup runs up to six dots, and if you want less, the two and three dot cans are the lighter end.

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.
