VELO – Sweet Blackcurrant 8mg

Released as a Midsummer limited edition, VELO Sweet Blackcurrant 8mg wraps a sweet-tart blackcurrant flavour in a standard slim pouch. As a seasonal release it sits outside VELO’s regular menu, which is why its closest relative is worth knowing. Midsummer is Sweden’s big summer celebration, and the edition takes its name from it.

The taste of VELO Sweet Blackcurrant

Blackcurrant is a berry with real bite, and this pouch keeps some of that tang while leaning sweet overall. No cooling note is listed, so the fruit carries the whole pouch from start to finish. It suits people who like jammy, dark-berry flavours more than bright citrus or mint, and it adds variety to a rotation built on mints.

Sweet Blackcurrant or Dark Blackcurrant?

Searches for VELO dark blackcurrant often land here, so the difference matters. VELO Dark Blackcurrant 8mg pairs blackcurrant with floral notes, while VELO Sweet Blackcurrant 8mg came out as the Midsummer edition. On paper they match exactly: 8mg per pouch, 11.4mg per gram, 20 pouches and a 14g can.

What 8mg means for the Midsummer can

Eight milligrams puts the can in VELO’s middle band, marked with three of six dots. It is a step up from the brand’s 6mg slims and a step below its 10mg iced fruit cans. Each 0.7g pouch sits flat under the lip, and the dose matches many of VELO’s fruit slims, so it slots easily into a rotation.

• Nicotine: 8mg per pouch (11.4mg/g)
• Strength: Strong (site level), 3 dots on VELO’s six-dot scale
• Pouch format: slim
• Pouches in the can: 20
• Net weight: 14g
• Release: Midsummer limited edition
