A can of Velo Peppermint Storm 17mg

Peppermint Storm at 17mg, the Sensations mint with the full six dots

Velo has more than one cold mint, and Peppermint Storm is the one that belongs to the Sensations side of the shelf. That is the maker's name for the cans where the flavour is joined by a feeling on the gum, and in that family Storm means cooling, alongside the warmth of the Flame cans and the tingle of Orange Spark. The flavour is peppermint, from BAT's nicotine pouch brand, and this 17mg can sits in Velo's Full Strength line, the top rung at 14mg to 17mg. Here's the thing. The Freezing Peppermint cans get their cold from the menthol in the flavour. This one adds a cooling feeling on the gum as well as the mint.

Clean peppermint, with the cold felt as much as tasted

The peppermint comes in clean and sharp, the way a strong mint from the tin at the petrol station does, and then the Storm part arrives, a cool wave on the gum that you feel rather than taste. The two run together from there, mint on the tongue and cold where the pouch sits, and the cooling holds for as long as the pouch does. The flavour itself stays clear and dry with very little sweetness, so nothing gets in the way of the mint. Through the load it is steady, never building, never fading. The finish is cold and clean. Proper peppermint with the weather turned on.

17mg a pouch, the top of the Full Strength rung, in peppermint

Each pouch carries 17mg of nicotine, which puts it in our strong band, the 16mg to 25mg stretch, and on Velo's six dot scale it is the full row of six. The ladder has three rungs, Lower Strength at 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg, and this can is as high as Velo goes. The same Peppermint Storm sits one step down at 14mg on our shelf, so there is a landing before the top if you want one. In snus terms this is Velo's biggest number with the cooling feel on top, and it does not pretend otherwise.

Who goes for the 17mg Storm, and the cold cans beside it

This is a can for the strong snus regular who wants peppermint and wants to feel the cold as well as taste it, and for anyone who has been on Peppermint Storm at 14mg and is ready for the top step. It also suits the mint user who has tried the Freezing cans and fancies the Sensations take on the same idea. Want the same number without the feeling on the gum? Velo Freezing Peppermint at 17mg is the menthol route. Prefer the Sensations with fruit instead of mint? Velo Orange Spark at 17mg, with its tingle. Give it a go.
