VID Nicotine Pouches: Watermelon - Review. 28 July 2021.

I recently heard about these new VID (ViD?) nicotine pouches made by Kurbitssnus.  Kurbits makes some of my favorite snus products, so when I heard about these I was pretty excited to try them out.  I'm not the biggest user of nicotine pouches myself, but I'm always up to try something new.  Especially when it's a product made by a snus company that I enjoy.  I had trouble finding these, but our friends at Nic Pouch UK hooked us up with some, so a big thanks to them.  The VID line has 5 flavors:  Arctic Blast (Mint), Cool Citrus, Fresh Cola, Fruit Fusion, and Watermelon.  So, there's something for everyone.  Each can weighs 15.6 grams and has 20 portions, for 0.78g portions.  The nicotine strength is 20mg/g (2.0%), or 15.6mg/portion.

One thing I like about Kurbitssnus is their product descriptions.  They get a little wordy with them, which is pretty cool.  It's not the usual "this product has a watermelon taste".  So, I'm going to share the whole thing.  The translation is a little spotty, but here you go:  "The healthy melon flavors are allowed to fill the mind and are complemented by invigorating mint notes. Melon has a natural sweetness and we want the good taste to be a part even when it comes to the nicotine bag. With VID Watermelon you get to experience the tastes and feeling of a paradise climate, at least in the mind, when you want and where you want. Fast delivery of nicotine with a pleasant strength gives you a pleasant experience, regardless of whether you are used to nicotine bags or if you simply can not or do not want to use tobacco products".  

Watermelon is a great taste for the summer, and as it's been getting warmer lately this has been a good product to keep around.  Of course, there's a few melon flavored products kicking around in the nicotine pouch realm, and it's become a pretty popular flavor.  It makes sense that Kurbitssnus would put one in their Vid range.  In the aroma, this one has a pretty present, sweet aroma of watermelon.  The portions are slim, moist, soft, and comfortable under the lip.  It has a light cooling presence under the lip, as well.  In the flavor, I pick up a present taste of watermelon.  It's sweet in nature, balanced, and pretty refreshing!  In terms of strength, it feels a little above regular strength.  The flavor longevity, on average, is about 40-45 minutes.

Rating and Final Thoughts

This one rated at 3.33/5 for me.  It's a pretty tasty product, and one I enjoyed.  Now, with the summer heat beaming down, I enjoy flavors like this.  Melon just sits right in that summer flavor category.  It is a sweeter one, yes, but for those who enjoy this sort of flavor they're looking for a sweeter product.  So, if you use nicotine pouches and like fruity flavored products, this is one you'll want to check out.  The whole Vid line is solid, so if you're a nicotine pouch fan, have at it!
