Purple Grape at 14mg, the third rung of Velo's grape ladder
Purple Grape is the Velo fruit you can follow up the whole ladder without changing flavour, and the 14mg can is the step where it moves into the Full Strength line. It comes from BAT's nicotine pouch brand, and the maker describes the flavour as red grapes with a little acidity behind them. That is the same recipe as the 8mg can most people start on, with a lot more behind it. No mint, no cooling, no second fruit. Here's the thing. Most of Velo's Full Strength cans are mints or fruit with a chill on top. This one is plain grape at a big number, and there are not many of those about.
Grape that tastes of the fruit, with a sharp finish
Lift the lid and it smells like the purple ice lolly from the van at the park, sweet and dark. On the gum it is a deeper thing, a ripe red grape with the skin still on, and the little sharp note the maker mentions arrives just as the sweetness settles. That sharpness is what stops the pouch turning syrupy. With nothing cold in the can the grape stays full and warm through the whole load, and the end is clean with a last bit of tang. Proper grape, no messing about.
14mg of nicotine behind the grape, with 8mg below and 17mg above
Each pouch carries 14mg of nicotine, which puts it at the top of our medium band, 8mg to 16mg, a step short of strong. On Velo's six dot scale it is a five dot can. The ladder has three rungs, Lower Strength at 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg, and Purple Grape runs across more of it than most Velo flavours, with a 4mg and an 8mg below this can and a 17mg above it. The 14mg is the first grape on the top rung. Slim white pouches, 20 to a can. In snus terms it is a fruit can that has grown up.

Grape regulars moving up, and the two grape cans either side
This is a can for the fruit snus regular who has been on the 8mg Purple Grape and wants the same grape with a proper number behind it, and for anyone on the 14mg mints who fancies a fruit can at the same strength with no chill in it. It also suits people who like to stay on one flavour while they move up. Ready for the top step? Velo Purple Grape at 17mg keeps the recipe. Want to ease back a rung? Velo Purple Grape at 8mg. Fancy grape with a bit of warmth instead? Velo Shift Hot Grape at 8mg. Give it a go.
