VELO – Purple Grape 17mg

Deep, rich grape at the very top of the brand’s scale is what VELO Purple Grape 17mg delivers, with all six dots filled on a slim can. It is the strongest grape pouch in the VELO catalogue, and each can holds 20 pouches. At 17mg it carries 7mg more nicotine per pouch than the 10mg Purple Grape can, a big jump within a single flavour.

Is VELO Purple Grape 17mg too strong for you?

For most people, probably yes, at least to begin with. Six dots is VELO’s ceiling, three rungs above the 10mg Original grape and a step beyond the five-dot 14mg cans. It is meant for heavy users who already reach for 14mg pouches and still want more weight behind the flavour. Keeping a lighter can nearby for the rest of the day is a sensible way to use it.

Darker grape with a hint of acidity

VELO frames Purple Grape as a deeper, fuller take on grape rather than a sweet lolly taste. Another VELO description adds red grapes with a slight sour edge, which helps the flavour stay clean at a high dose. Neither description mentions menthol, so grape carries the whole flavour. Long-time VELO fans may remember the flavour family under an older name, Royal Violet. The name changed, but the purple can and the grape focus stayed.
