Velo Watermelon Chill (Nicotine Pouches) - Review. 12 June 2025.

I've reviewed a lot of Velo Plus products over the past 6 months or so.  Now, we have a new one to check out, with a summery type of flavor:  Watermelon Chill!  To recap, if you aren't familiar with Velo, it's a popular European brand.  In 2021, a mini/dry version of Velo launched in the US (which wasn't that great).  Velo was later re-launched with slim/moist pouches as "Velo Plus", and it is much, much better.  On their website, this product is described as "A juicy slice of watermelon flavor with a frosty finish".  Like with others in the series, each can weighs 10.6 grams and has 20 pouches, for 0.53g weight each.  This one only comes in the 6mg/pouch nicotine strength.  Now, let's open a can and check it out!

The aroma of this one is a rather sweet, present smell of melon.  There is a mintyness to it that you pick up in the background, as well.  The pouches are slim, with a soft feel, and a moderate moisture amount.  Under the upper lip they are quite comfortable, with a pretty quick release of flavor.  In the taste, this one is a little on the sweeter side.  Being an American market product, they tend to be a little sweeter.  The watermelon flavor is present, and wrapped up in a minty freshness.  It almost seems like a mint/menthol compliment.  The nicotine strength is on the lighter end, and feels to be a little below regular strength.  The flavor tends to hang out about 30-40 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

I've had some ask me how this compares to Velo's Watermelon Ice, a product on the European market.  It's similar, but this one has a more full sized pouch, more nicotine, and a much sweeter flavor profile.  As this product sits, I put it at a 3.38/5.  I like it more than Velo Dragonfruit, but not quite as much as Velo Wild Berry.  It is pretty tasty, however, and a great release for the summer!
