Volt Zesty Citrus (Nicotine Pouches) - Review. 31 March 2023.

Today, we're going to be doing another nicotine pouch review.  But hey, good news, it's not another mint flavor.  This one is more in line with what I like:  the citrus taste!  This is a new one in the Volt series:  Volt Zesty Citrus.  I've been a big fan of their Zyn Citrus Slim Strong for many years, and I also enjoyed it in their Thunder Citrus (which tastes identical to the Zyn version).  Going into this review, my impression was that this would be, simply, a clone of Zyn and Thunder Citrus.  I did, however, notice some minor differences.  So, it doesn't appear to be the same recipe.  The flavor description for this one says, "VOLT Zesty Citrus Slim Super Strong has a taste of citrus with hints of lime and menthol".  Each can weighs in at 14.7 grams and has 21 pouches, for 0.7g each.  The strength comes in at 18mg/g (1.8%), which breaks down to 12.5mg/pouch with the 0.7g pouch weight.

When you open the can, a present aroma of lemon comes through with a hint of lime.  It has a fresh type of presence to it, but it's not overly mentholated or minty.  The pouches are slim, and moderately soft, with a decent moisture amount.  They are comfortable under the lip, and come with a gentle cooling sensation in the lip.  The flavor does remind me a lot of Zyn and Thunder.  It's a tart, lemonade type of flavor.  There's lemon, there's a little lime, some tartness, and a little sweetness.  I do notice a "fresh" type of presence to the flavor, but it's not really a heavy menthol or mint presence.  It's interesting.  The nicotine strength on this one feels to be about the strong level and has a decent, fast kick to it.  The flavor hangs out about 40-45 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

So overall, this one was pretty decent.  It did remind me in a way of Zyn and Thunder Citrus.  This one was a little different because it has some menthol in it, which added a cooling presence to it.  I ended up rating it the same as I did with the other Swedish Match citrus nicotine pouch products - 3.5/5.  It's a pretty solid product if you use nicotine pouches.  Considering most of them are minty, this is one that is different from 99% of them out there.
