VELO – Dark Blackcurrant 8mg

Blackcurrant with a floral lift is what VELO Dark Blackcurrant 8mg brings to a strong slim pouch, and it tastes deeper than the candy-style berry cans. VELO’s description pairs the dark taste of the fruit with floral notes. The dose is a standard 8mg, with 20 pouches per can. Each slim pouch weighs about 0.7g.

Dark fruit with a floral edge

Blackcurrant is tarter and more wine-like than blueberry or raspberry, and that depth carries through here. The floral notes lift the finish so it never feels heavy. There is no ice or menthol in VELO’s description, so expect berry from the first minute. VELO lists it in its fruit range rather than the Signature line.

Dark Blackcurrant against other 8mg berries

Within VELO, VELO Blueberry Ice 8mg offers a sweeter berry with a cooling finish at the same dose. From a different brand, CLEW Blueberry 10mg is a straightforward blueberry with 2mg more nicotine. Both make useful contrasts if you are working out whether you like your berries dark, sweet or cold. VELO also made a limited Midsummer Sweet Blackcurrant, so check the name if that is the can you are after.

When VELO Dark Blackcurrant 8mg fits the day

It works well after a meal or alongside a coffee, when a sharp mint would clash with what you are eating or drinking. The berry depth also makes it a good evening pouch, when you want something richer than citrus. At 8mg and three dots it is firm enough for regular users without overwhelming the fruit.
