There's a few things I don't use a lot of - nicotine pouches and mini sized pouches. This product has both - a mini sized nicotine pouch! I don't have anything against mini pouches, in fact I quick smoking with a mini portion snus back in the day. So, today I'm going to sit down with Velo's latest offering - Iced Melon! I recently
saw it available for sale and thought why not, let's give it a go. It's the summer, so an icy melon taste might not be so bad. The flavor description for this one says, "
A flavor of watermelon and mint". Each can weighs in at 10 grams and has 20 pouches for 0.5g each. The nicotine content sits at 6mg/pouch, which is 12mg/g in total. Though, as we know, the nicotine per pouch is what matters because that's what you'll experience using the product.
Opening up the can I notice a gentle, lightly sweet smell of watermelon. There's a subtle cooling presence to it, but it's not super mint. The pouches are small, and slim-ish in form. They're pretty soft, and moderately moist. I pick up a gentle cooling presence when I put one under the lip. In the flavor, it's pretty gentle. The watermelon is lightly sweet and not super minty. It's fresh in the lip, and perhaps is a little menthol. Too much mint would clash with the taste I think, so it's good they didn't go too over the top with that. In the nicotine strength, it's a lighter one. At 6mg/pouch it feels to be lighter than regular strength. It's not weak, just light. The flavor hangs out a good 40-45 minutes, on average.
Rating and Final Thoughts
In the end, I rated this one at 2.58/5. To me, it's about average. But again, I don't use a lot of nicotine pouches, nor do I use a lot of mini sized pouches. As it sits, I think people who enjoy nicotine pouches and want something a little smaller will enjoy it. It's not for me, but people looking for something like this will find themselves pleased with it. It's a great taste for the summer!
