VELO Winter Chill X-Strong - Expert Review

The Velo Nicotine Pouches line, formerly known as Lyft Nicotine Pouches, is arguably the highest quality standard-bearer in the world of nicotine pouches. When compared to others, they are arguably the most popular. With a wide variety of flavors, and strengths, the Velo line is appealing to everyone who enjoys the all-white category, and very approachable for those who like variety.For those who formerly used Lyft, you will now find your favorite product rebranded as Velo. Some may ask what the differences are, but it’s quite simple! The only difference is the name. With the new Velo, you get the exact same product, but with the name Velo on the can instead of Lyft. So, don’t fret if you enoyed Lyft! You’ll also enjoy Velo.

Opening the can, you’ll notice an aroma of wintergreen. But, it’s not your every day run of the mill wintergreen. It’s a milder, sweeter wintergreen. If you’ve had Lifesavers or Tic-Tacs with the wintergreen taste, these remind me a lot of those. The pouches, like Lyft formerly, are slim, soft, and moderately moist. They have a comfortable fit in the lip, and a steady release of flavor. Also, this one comes with a subtle cooling freshness under the lip once you put a portion in.

In the flavor profile, it’s a gentle taste of wintergreen with a sublte sweetness to it. I don’t notice too much menthol, honestly. It’s mostly wintergreen. It’s not too in your face, and comes across in a mild, enjoyable way, even if (like me) you aren’t the biggest fan of wintergreen! The nicotine strength on this one feels to be around the strong level, and the flavor hangs out for about 40-45 minutes.

Wrap-Up & Recommendation:

The Velo line is without a doubt the highest quality line of nicotine pouches available. It is the premium standard by which all nicotine pouches are judged. If you want to try the cream of the crop, this is the top of the mountain when it comes to the all white category. Velo Winterchill brings the popular flavor of wintergreen to a tobacco-free format, and those who enjoy this flavor will be quite pleased with this pouch!

Snubie’s Opinion:

I’m not the biggest fan of wintergreen. I use it from time to time, when I get a craving for it. Or, if I’m outdoors. I’m pretty well versed in the flavor at this point, and I find this one to be quite different from tobacco/wintergreen products I’ve had before. It’s a sweeter one, and a milder one. I think people who enjoy wintergreen will appreciate the unique taste on the flavor with Velo Winterchill!
