The last time I reviewed this product, it was called Velo Mint. Since then, the design has changed, and it is now called Velo Bright Spearmint. As Velo is now hard to get online to the US, I wanted to make a note to reflect the new name and design. Everything else below is still accurate - aroma, flavor, rating, etc. Just a new name and design.
Compared to the other Velo mint flavors, which are more sharp/focused, this one is a bit more smooth, and pleasant. In the aroma, it's a clean, moderately sweet, gentle aroma of spearmint. The pouches are slim, comfortable in the lip, with a moderate moisture. Being a mint product, they also come with a gentle cooling presence in the lip. In terms of flavor, it's a pretty clear, clean taste of spearmint. It has a semi-sweet nature to it, and is pretty refreshing! In terms of strength, it feels to be about regular strength. The flavor longevity, on average, lasts about 40-45 minutes. To compare this one. if you've had Lyft Mint, this one is basically the exact same thing, but with a different name.
Original Review (March 2022): BAT has been gradually branding their Lyft nicotine pouches line to Velo, seemingly to have more international uniformity. It seems as though it is in the final stages, so I felt it was time to review the re-named Velo products so as to update my reviews here. Today we're talking about Velo Mint! I've had a few BAT takes on the mint flavor profile. First, Epok Mint (white tobacco) in June of 2016. A chew bag version of Epok Mint would launch in Denmark in February of 2019. A Lyft version would also come that very same month. The following year, January of 2020, a version of Epok Mint would launch in Norway. And now, we are on to the Velo version! The flavor description for this one says "treat yourself to the feeling of rich sweetness from spearmint in combination with the cooling freshness of menthol that gives you that little extra!" Each can weighs 14.7 grams and has 21 portions, for 0.7 gram portions. The nicotine content is 6mg/portion, or 8.57mg/g (0.857%).
Rating and Final Thoughts
I rated this one at 3.67/5. That may sound low but, honestly for me, that's a pretty high score for a nicotine pouch for me (since I don't really use them). Most of them out there are too strong, or have a burning peppermint taste, but this one is a really good, chill, laid back spearmint flavor. Honestly, it's probably the best mint flavored nicotine pouch out there. If this is your sort of thing, I definitely suggest checking it out.
