VELO Ice Alaska Ultra and VELO Menthe Givrée : Test

Today, I'm testing pouches nicotine from the VELO brand, specifically the two latest additions: VELO Ice Alaska Ultra and VELO Menthe Givrée.

In this new Test de Mathieu, I tell you all about the packaging, how it feels under the lip, and probably most importantly, about the flavors and effectiveness of these new pouches nicotine. Follow the guide!

A word about nicotine pouches VELO

Do you know the nicotine brand pouches VELO? Previously known as EPOK and LYFT, it's one of the leading pouches nicotine brands in Europe. Since its debut in 2014, this brand has been recognized for its excellence, expertise and long experience in the field of nicotine pouches. 

VELO is also famous for its distinctive slogan "et ça picote" (and it tingles), which precisely illustrates the "Kick" provided, i.e. the cool, tingling sensation experienced when using pouches of nicotine.

VELO bestsellers include pouches Ice Alaska nicotine and its peppermint and iced menthol duo. Today, I'm testing the new Ultra version in X-Strong strength (14mg per pouch). See also my thoughts on the latest VELO Menthe Givrée.

Packaging
⭐⭐⭐⭐

The packaging is as streamlined and contemporary as ever. It displays all the essential information: the brand and its logo, the name of the flavor, the strength (here in the form of graduations), as well as the words "tobacco-free nicotine".pouches of nicotine without tobacco".

The visual of the Menthe Givrée flavor contrasts somewhat with the brand's other pouches nicotine flavors. The blue gradient effect and the stylized snowflake in the background almost give it a collector's edition feel. I think it's a great success! 

From a functional point of view, the airtight compartment on top of the can is a must. It serves as an extra garbage can, which is very practical for storing used pouches used items. 

Proof of VELO's seriousness, all warning messages can be found on cans . They remind us that nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and that its use by minors and by people who don't already use it is strongly discouraged. 

You'll also find the recycling pictogram for information on how to sort empty cans nicotine pouches. These cans are made of recyclable plastic, so don't hesitate to drop them off in the appropriate containers!

Finally, on the edge, we find the Swedish heritage: pouches nicotine was invented in Sweden, but VELO products are made in the European Union.

Flavors
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

To begin this test of new products, let's take a look at pouches VELOIce Alaska Ultra nicotine. They have the same taste as their "little brother" Ice Alaska. On tasting, you can really feel the slightly spicy peppermint aroma and a hint of menthol. It's a very fresh flavor, like the polar temperatures in Alaska!

Since we're on a chilly theme, let's talk about nicotine pouches VELOMenthe Givrée! This is also a fresh flavor. I personally find it less "icy" in smell, and slightly sweeter in taste. Nevertheless, it lives up to its promise, and the aromas are faithfully reproduced. Once again, VELO has mastered its subject. A new best-seller in the making? 

Feel
⭐⭐⭐⭐

VELO deserves its reputation as an iconic brand of pouches nicotine. The pouches VELO nicotine products always maintain the same level of comfort under the lip. Their dazzling white hue perfectly matches their "All White" appellation, which is sometimes found in English-speaking countries to designate pouches of nicotine.

They are in Slim format, like the vast majority of pouches nicotines available on Nicopouches. Slightly bulkier than the pouches Mini, they are comfortable and discreet when placed under the lip. This is a major advantage for smokers looking for an alternative to nicotine consumption without resorting to cigarettes or vape.

Dosage and kick
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In this review, I share my impressions of two flavors in X-Strong strength.

VELO Ice Alaska Ultra is a version with a slightly higher nicotine dose than the classic Ice Alaska. They are aimed at advanced users who need a very powerful nicotine kick. At 14mg per pouch, they are perfectly suited to "heavy" smokers with high consumption and a strong need for nicotine. 

As for pouches VELOMenthe Givrée, they offer a slightly lower nicotine concentration. Their Kick of 10.9 mg per pouch is also adapted to the nicotine needs of users with high demands.

Efficiency and discretion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As far as the effectiveness and discretion of the new pouches VELO nicotine products are concerned, I consider them to be perfect. They are effective, act quickly and remain really discreet once the pouch is placed under the lip. 

As for the release time of flavors and nicotine, VELO advertises about thirty minutes. In my experience, this promise is kept. Good job VELO! 

VELO Ice Alaska Ultra & Menthe Givrée: a conclusive test

In conclusion, these new VELO products confirm the brand's well-established reputation. They offer a masterly assortment of flavors and well-transcribed aromas, remarkable efficiency and particular attention to comfort and discretion. I recommend them to you!
