Velo Frosty Grapefruit (Nicotine Pouches) - Review. 26 May 2023.

BAT Sweden has been on a roll lately, pumping out a lot of new Lyft and Velo products.  Just today I've already written reviews for 4 other new ones!  I recently noticed this one was available, and as a big fan of grapefruit I had to give it a go.  I noticed the word "Frosty" which meant, of course, they had to throw mint into this one.  So, let's go ahead and dive into this review and check this product out.  The product description says, of course, "A flavor of grapefruit and mint".  Each can sits at 14 grams and contains 20 pouches weighing 0.7g each.  The nicotine content is 10mg/pouch, which is 14.28mg/g in total.  However, the nicotine per pouch is what ultimately matters because that's what you feel when you use the product.

Opening up the can, I notice grapefruit first.  It's a tart, gentle aroma of grapefruit.  Of course there is some mint behind it, but it's not too overly present.  The pouches are slim, and moderately moist.  They have a comfortable mouth feel and a quick release of flavor.  I notice a little cooling presence in the lip with this one, but not too overly minty.  In the flavor, the grapefruit is pretty present.  It's a nice mix of sweet and sour, but more on the tart end.  I do notice a freshness to it, which is kinda a mix of menthol and mint.  It's not overly minty, nor is it too sweet, but it does add a refreshing dimension to the flavor.  The nicotine strength on this one feels about regular, with a pretty steady delivery.  I find the flavor to last about 40-45 minutes, on average.

Rating and Final Thoughts

All in all, not bad!  Even though I don't usually like mixing mint and citrus, I found this one to be okay!  I rated it at 3.58/5.  I think people looking for something different will dig this one, because it certainly has a pretty unique flavor to it.  Not something I could use all day, but I think it's a nice change of pace for folks looking to mix things up a bit!
