Blue Raspberry, the sweet one in Velo's lower line
Every shelf has a can that gets picked up for the colour before anyone reads the lid, and on the Velo shelf it is Blue Raspberry. It comes from Velo's Lower Strength line, the 4mg to 8mg end of the brand, and it sits at the top of that line at 8mg a pouch. Velo is BAT's nicotine pouch brand, started in Sweden, and this can was sold as Tangled Berry before the names changed. The recipe is blueberry and raspberry, mixed sweet, nothing else. Here's the thing. It is the fruitiest can in the lower line, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Blueberry and raspberry, sweet from the first pouch
The first thing you get is sweetness, the blue slush from the newsagent's freezer kind, and then the two fruits sort themselves out. Raspberry sits on top, sharp and bright. Blueberry sits underneath, rounder and softer, and keeps the sharp edge from running off with the whole thing. There is no mint in here and no cooling, so it stays warm and fruity right through the load. The finish is clean and a touch tart, the way a boiled sweet ends. Proper fruit, start to finish.
8mg a pouch at the top of Lower Strength
Each pouch carries 8mg of nicotine. On our scale that is the bottom of the medium band, which runs 8mg to 16mg, so it has a bit more about it than the 4mg and 6mg cans beside it without stepping into the 10mg Regular Strength line. Velo's ladder has three rungs: Lower Strength at 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg. Blue Raspberry is the last step before the middle rung. Slim white pouches, 20 to a can. In snus terms it is an easy going number with real flavour doing the work.

Who keeps a can of Blue Raspberry in the coat pocket
This is a can for anyone who likes fruit snus and wants the fruit to lead. If you are new to Velo and would rather begin sweet than minty, it is a sensible first pick, and the 8mg is forgiving. It also suits regulars on stronger cans who want something lighter for the afternoon. Want the same berry idea with a fresh mint lift? Velo Icy Berries at 10mg is the next rung up. Prefer a single fruit? Velo Ruby Berry at 6mg is the strawberry led one next door. Give it a go.
