A can of Velo Purple Grape 8mg

Purple Grape at 8mg, the middle of a four can run

Purple Grape is one of the few Velo flavours you can follow all the way up the ladder, and the 8mg can is where most people meet it. It comes from Velo's Lower Strength line, the 4mg to 8mg end of the brand BAT started in Sweden, and it is the fruit can of that line. The maker describes the flavour as red grapes blended with a touch of sharpness, and that is what you get. Grape, properly grape, with a bit of bite to keep it honest. No mint, no cooling, no messing about.

Grape juice with a bit of bite in the finish

Lift the lid and it smells like the purple squash from a childhood kitchen. In the mouth it is rounder than that, a dark red grape rather than a sweet shop grape, with that touch of sourness the maker mentions arriving just behind the sweetness. The two balance out and stay balanced through the load. There is no cooling to muddy it, so the fruit stays warm and full from the first pouch to the last. The finish is clean, slightly tart and neat. Fair play to it.

8mg a pouch, with 4mg below and 14mg and 17mg above

Each pouch carries 8mg of nicotine, the bottom of our medium band, which runs 8mg to 16mg. Velo sorts its cans into Lower Strength at 4mg to 8mg, Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg, and Purple Grape is one of the flavours that appears in more than one. There is a 4mg can below this one, and 14mg and 17mg cans in the Full Strength line above it. The 8mg is the easy middle. Slim white pouches, 20 to a can. A snus you can grow into without changing flavour.

Who the 8mg grape is for, and where it leads

This is the can for anyone who likes fruit snus and wants a grape that tastes of grape. If you are new to Velo it is a sound first fruit, and if you have been on the 4mg Purple Grape and want a step up, this is the step. The best part of this flavour is the road ahead: Velo Purple Grape 14mg and Velo Purple Grape 17mg are the same recipe with more behind it, so you never have to swap flavours to move up. Want a grape with warmth instead? Velo Shift Hot Grape at 8mg is the one next to it. Give it a go.
