A can of Velo Orange Spark 17mg

Orange Spark at 17mg, the fizzing orange at the top of Velo's ladder

Most of the fruit on the Velo shelf comes with a cool edge. Orange Spark comes with a tingle, and this is the version with the biggest number behind it. It belongs to what the maker calls VELO Sensations, the cans that pair a flavour with a feeling on the gum, and Spark is the tingling one, as against the warmth of the Flame cans and the cold of the Storm. The fruit is ripe, zesty orange from BAT's nicotine pouch brand, and this 17mg can is the Full Strength one the UK maker sells, with a 10mg below it. Here's the thing. The orange is the same whichever can you pick. The 17 just has more waiting behind it.

Ripe orange first, then the fizz settles in behind it

The first pouch is pure orange, the sweet juice of a proper orange with a bit of the peel in it, before the Spark arrives. A few seconds in, the tingle starts on the gum, a light fizz like the first mouthful of orangeade from the newsagent fridge, and it keeps going as long as the pouch does. The orange stays in front the whole time, so the fruit never gets lost behind the feeling. Through the load it is zest on top and fizz underneath, and the finish is bright with a little sharpness to it. Proper orange, and the fizz never gets in its way.

17mg a pouch, six dots, and the top of the Orange Spark climb

Each pouch carries 17mg of nicotine, which puts it in our strong band, 16mg to 25mg, and it is the top of Velo's six dot scale, the full row. The brand's ladder has three rungs, Lower Strength at 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg, and this can sits at the very top of the top rung. On our shelf the same orange and tingle comes at 10.9mg in the Regular Strength line, so there is a gentler step if 17mg is a jump. Slim white pouches, 20 to a can. Strong snus with a fruit flavour, which is rarer than it sounds.

The 17mg orange crowd, and the other Sensations at the top

This is a can for the strong snus regular who wants fruit rather than mint at 17mg, and for anyone who has been on Orange Spark at 10.9mg and wants the same fizz with the full number behind it. It also suits the person who likes something happening on the gum while the flavour does its work. Prefer the warm side of the Sensations at the same strength? Velo Mango Flame at 17mg. Want the cold one? Velo Peppermint Storm at 17mg sits beside it on the top rung. Give it a go.
