See what customers are saying about Velo Crispy Peppermint
VELO makes three peppermint-adjacent pouches. Bright Spearmint is the soft one. Freezing Peppermint is the one that numbs your gums. Crispy Peppermint sits right in the middle — and that's exactly why it outsells the other two.
The mint here is bright and clean. Not the artificial toothpaste flavour you get from budget pouches, but a proper peppermint with enough menthol to make your mouth feel fresh without turning it into an ice rink. There's a slight sweetness that takes the edge off and some faint herbal notes if you're paying attention. It peaks around the 5-minute mark and stays steady for a good half hour after that.
If you've tried Freezing Peppermint and found it too aggressive, or if Bright Spearmint felt too mild, this is probably what you're after.
The UK lineup gives you options:
The slim pouches weigh 0.7g each. The mini format is lighter and lower-profile. Both use the same moist filling that gets the flavour going quickly.
If the name sounds unfamiliar but the description rings a bell, you might know this one as VELO Ice Cool. BAT rebranded the flavour when they overhauled their naming system. Same formula inside, just a new label on the can. If you were an Ice Cool regular, Crispy Peppermint is your replacement — nothing's changed except the name.
VELO uses plant fibres from Scandinavian pine and eucalyptus as the base material. No tobacco leaf at any stage. The filling includes cellulose, xylitol for sweetness, ammonium chloride (that's the faint salty note you might pick up), and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine. The can is recyclable plastic.
Each can holds 20 to 21 pouches with a total net weight of 14g.
The official RRP is £6.50. You'll pay that at Tesco, Sainsbury's, or most corner shops. Online is a different world.
Two Wombats has the lowest single-can price at £4.20 with free shipping. Snus Vikings is right behind at £4.22 with free next day delivery. If you're buying 10 cans at once, NicPouches does them for £33.90 total — that's £3.39 per can, which is basically half the shop price.
