There’s a new member in the Velo family, this one with a bright, summery taste! Meet Velo Elderflower Spritz, a new nicotine pouch product from BAT. I’m a big elderflower enthusiast, going back to my earliest days of reviewing snus, so when I first heard about this one, I couldn't wait to give it a try. I use more snus than nicotine pouches, but once I got this, I found myself carrying a can in my pocket everywhere I went. Yes, it’s that good. But I don’t want to spoil the review, so let’s talk product specifics before I go into that.

Within the past year, it was announced that BAT would be rebranding the Lyft nicotine pouches line to Velo. But recently, in a surprising twist, a handful of new Lyft products recently released in Sweden: Barista Twist, Just Bloom, and Cool Air. These seem to be designed as a more premium line of nicotine pouches, and the top of the can denotes their origin: “Nicotine Pouches Crafted in Sweden”. In this review we’ll be talking about Just Bloom, a floral flavored product.

It’s been since the summer of 2021 that Swedish Match launched Volt, a new line of nicotine pouches. Recently, they’ve launched something entirely new: Volt Pearls. This format is set to elevate nicotine pouches and take them to a whole new level. In this review, we’ll be covering the blue one, Midnight Mint.

Tobacco-centric snus is where it all started, with Ettan, offering a traditional and pure-tasting product that is popular amongst the more experienced veteran snusers with a more mature palate. This flavor profile results from the different blends of tobacco each brand use, equating to earthy, woody, herby, and smoky notes. So with these different blends comes significant flavor variation between brands, like Grovsnus and Knox, and here we look at some of the best in the market.

It’s been about a year since the Volt line launched in the summer of 2021. Produced by Swedish Match, the Volt line delivers some traditional flavors, but also some unique ones. They recently have launched mini nicotine pouches, which is relatively new in the all-white segment. In this review, we’re going to be checking out one of them: Volt Mystic Blue Mini. This one also has a larger sized counterpart available, as well.

Like coffee? Like nicotine pouches? Want both, but in a small, pocket friendly size? Well, are you in luck. Meet Velo Creamy Coffee Mini. This is a new nicotine pouch product from the VELO family in a pocket friendly can with smaller portions than the average nicotine pouch. You can enjoy this one on it’s own, or you can enjoy it in the morning with your cup of coffee! Let’s get to know this product a little better, shall we?

Hit is a line of nicotine pouches that launched in February of 2022. This line is made by GN Tobacco, the makers of popular products such as Oden’s Snus and Siberia Snus. Hit is a line of all white, nicotine pouches that contain nicotine but are completely free from tobacco. The Hit line has other intriguing flavors, but this is one that stands out more than the others. Apelsin, of course, means orange, and orange isn't a very common flavor with oral nicotine products!
