Lime Flame, the Velo can with a jalapeño in it
There is one can on the Velo shelf that makes people read the lid twice, and it is Lime Flame. It comes from Velo Sensations, the maker's line of cans built around a feeling on the gum as well as a flavour, and it sits in the brand's Lower Strength band at 8mg a pouch. The recipe is zesty lime with jalapeño, and Flame is Velo's word for a warming sensation that runs alongside the fruit. It used to be called Fresh Jalapeño, which tells you how seriously they take the pepper. Here's the thing. It is a lime can first, with the warmth as the twist.
Sharp lime, then the pepper warms up behind it
The lime lands first, bright and sour like the wedge on the side of a cold bottle at the pub. Then the jalapeño comes in, more of a slow green warmth than heat, and the two sit together for the whole load. It is a savoury kind of fruit can, less sweet than a berry pouch, with a tingle on the gum that the maker credits to its Sensates ingredients. The finish is zesty and dry rather than sugary. Not like anything else in the line, and that is the point.
8mg a pouch in Velo's lower line
Each pouch carries 8mg of nicotine, which is the bottom of our medium band, 8mg to 16mg, and the top of Velo's Lower Strength line, 4mg to 8mg. Above it come Regular Strength at 10mg and Full Strength at 14mg to 17mg. Within the Sensations family, Lime Flame is the entry can: Velo Mango Flame at 10mg and Velo Orange Spark at 10.9mg are the steps up. Slim white pouches, 20 to a can. In snus terms the number is easy. The flavour is what you will remember.

Lime Flame for the people who order the hot wings
This is the can for someone who wants a flavour with a bit of edge, who picks the chilli jam over the plain one and orders the hot wings every time. If you already like citrus snus, it is the obvious next thing to try. The 8mg keeps it friendly, so the warmth is the talking point rather than the strength. Fancy the same warmth on a sweeter fruit? Velo Mango Flame at 10mg. Want a tingle instead? Velo Orange Spark at 10.9mg. Give it a go.
