Lyft Polar Mint (Nicotine Pouches) Easy & Medium - Reviews (Discontinued). 16 September 2020.

NOTE:  The Lyft brand has been rebranded as Velo.  As such, this product has been discontinued and is no longer for sale.

I was recently browsing a new website I stumbled across, CzechPods.cz, and found some products I wanted to do reviews of.  This one reminds me most of the Lyft Easy Mint in terms of flavor.  This one comes in two strengths, medium (regular strength) and easy (less strong than regular strength).  The flavor description for this one says, "Sweet taste of mint with perfectly cooling freshness of menthol. A taste that can extremely refresh you".  Both of these cans weigh 14g each and have 20 portions, for 0.7g portions.  The Easy one has a 6mg/g (0.6%) nicotine strength, which is 4.2mg/portion.  The Medium one has an 8.5mg/g (0.85%) nicotine strength, or 5.95mg/portion.

If you're not familiar with nicotine pouches, I'll explain. These are products that contain nicotine, but no tobacco. In the case of Lyft, these have eucalyptus and pine fiber in them instead of tobacco. These are a good alternative for people who may want to quit smoking, or tobacco in general, but not nicotine. This picture shows a look at what is inside the pouch itself. Here you see the cans, portions, and even what is inside the pouch, and can see that it looks similar to regular snus, except the portions and the material inside the portions are all white. Everything else about the experience is similar to regular snus.

Both of these are basically the same, so I'm going to review them together. The only big difference is the nicotine strength. When you open the can, the aroma is a sweet, refreshing smell of spearmint. It's a little sweeter than the average mint.  The portions are slim, soft to the touch, and feel great under the lip.  Being a mint product, you'll encounter the familiar cooling sensation under the lip, as well.  The flavor is spearmint, and it comes through in a refreshing, smooth way.  Like with the aroma, it is on the sweeter side compared to most mint products out there.  The flavor lasts, on average, about 45 minutes.  As far as nicotine goes, the "medium" one feels to be about the regular strength level, and the "easy" one feels to be a little less strong than that.  If you're in the Czech Republic and you like mint products, you'll enjoy the flavor of this one!
