VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg)

About VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) nicotine pouches

VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) is built around cherry and menthol. On the taste scales it sits at 6/10 for fruit, 6/10 for mint and 4/10 for sting — a moderate fruit character, a clear mint note, and a mild tingle under the lip.

The can carries 20 pouches in the slim format, 14 grams of product in total. Nicotine is 8 mg per pouch, or 11.43 mg/g, which is a strong strength. That is a firm dose better suited to regular users than to first-timers.

It is made by BAT. Like everything we stock it is tobacco free — a white pouch that sits under the lip, leaves no stain and needs nowhere to spit.

What are VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) nicotine pouches?

VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch from VELO, sold here in the slim format at about 0.7 g a pouch, 20 to a can.

The slim format is long and narrow, so it lies along the gum line rather than bunching up. It is one of 108 VELO listings we stock; the rest of the range is on the VELO page.

VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) flavour profile

VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) tastes of ripe cherry, finished cold.

Against the 163 cans on our shelf with a measured fact sheet it is cooler than 66% of them and sweeter than 39%. It reads clean rather than sweet, which is what most people want from a mint they intend to use all day.

The closest thing to it on our shelf is NOIS CHERRY ICE (6.3 mg) — the same idea with the cold dialled back.

VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) effects and strength

Each VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) pouch holds 8 mg of nicotine, or 11.43 mg per gram — stronger per gram than 99% of what we stock.

The tingle under the lip is mild — sharper than 43% of them. Menthol and flavour make that bite rather than the dose, and it settles in a few minutes.

Keep one in for 30 to 60 minutes; most of what a pouch has to give comes out early.

How to use VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg)

1. 1

   Open the can

   Twist the lid off and take out a single pouch — there are 20 in a can. Close the lid again straight away; an open can dries out faster than anything else you can do to it.

2. 2

   Put it under your lip

   Tuck the pouch flat between your upper lip and gum, off to one side. It should sit still and out of sight. Do not chew it and do not swallow it — VELO Icy Cherry (8 mg) is designed to stay put and release on its own.

3. 3

   Leave it in

   Expect a tingle in the first minute or two; that is normal and it settles. A slim pouch is usually done in 30 to 60 minutes, and you can move it around or take it out whenever you want.

4. 4

   Bin it when you are done

   Take the pouch out and put it in the bin — many cans have a sealed compartment in the lid for exactly this. Never flush one; it does not break down and it will block a drain.
