VELO Mini – Cherry Ice 6mg

Cherry with a squeeze of citrus and a cool finish is the idea behind VELO Cherry Ice 6mg, a compact mini made for low-key use. At 6mg it sits in the gentler half of the VELO line-up, and the small pouch is easy to forget is there. It comes from VELO’s UK iced fruit range, which explains the 15-pouch can.

The citrus twist in VELO Cherry Ice

Many cherry pouches stop at fruit and mint. This one adds a fresh citrus layer between the two, which lifts the cherry and stops it from tasting like syrup. The cooling is moderate, so the fruit stays clear throughout. Picture fresh cherries with a twist of citrus peel rather than a cherry cordial.

Not the same as Icy Cherry

VELO sells two cherry flavours and they are easy to mix up. VELO Icy Cherry 8mg is a slim pouch that combines cherry and mint only, with no citrus, and it is stronger. Cherry Ice is the mini with the citrus note. If the citrus is what you liked, VELO Cherry Ice 6mg is the can to reorder.

6.3g of pouches in a pocket-sized can

A full can of Cherry Ice holds 6.3g of pouches spread across 15 minis, against 14g across 20 in a VELO slim can. The trade-off is size: each mini is small enough to sit unnoticed, and VELO rates the strength at two dots out of six.

• Nicotine content: 6mg per pouch, 14.3mg per gram
• Strength rating: Regular here, 2 of 6 dots from VELO
• Format: mini pouch, around 0.42g
• Pouches per can: 15
• Net weight: 6.3g

For a much lighter cherry, ZYN Mini Dry Black Cherry 3mg is a dry-format alternative from another maker. The rest of the brand sits under VELO nicotine pouches. Cherry fans can compare both VELO cherries there.
