Velo Peppermint Storm (Cool Storm) Nicotine Pouches (20pcs/Can)

Peppermint Storm — sold until recently as Cool Storm — is Velo's straight cooling pouch: clear menthol with peppermint over the top and very little sweetness to soften it. The strength is 15.6mg of nicotine per gram, or 10.9mg in each pouch, in a slim can of twenty.

That 10.9mg puts it near the top of Velo's normal range and well above the mini and lighter pouches, so it is not a starting point. It suits somebody who has been using pouches for a while and finds a 4mg or 6mg pouch fading too quickly, or a heavier smoker moving directly across. The slim format is well matched to the strength: a slim pouch is narrow enough to sit unnoticed, but holds enough contact with the gum to release steadily over a decent stretch rather than delivering the dose too early. The flavour is doing a job here as well. A cooling sensation this pronounced masks the nicotine tingle a pouch at this concentration would otherwise produce, which is why the strongest pouches in almost every range are mints — it is not a coincidence of taste. Set against the spearmint pouches in the same line, this one is sharper and colder rather than sweeter and rounder, and it holds up better through a hot day, where a sweeter pouch can begin to cloy. Being tobacco-free, it does not stain teeth. Each can holds 14g across twenty pouches, which works out at 0.7g per pouch, the standard weight for the slim format.
