VELO's coldest mint pouch — intense peppermint with an arctic cooling hit that doesn't let up.
VELO's most intense mint — heavy peppermint with a freezing menthol blast that numbs the gums and doesn't apologise for it. Available in 10.9mg, 14mg, and 17mg.
See what customers are saying about Velo Freezing Peppermint
VELO makes three peppermint pouches. Bright Spearmint is the gentle one. Crispy Peppermint sits in the middle. Freezing Peppermint is the one that actually lives up to its name.
The cooling hits fast — within seconds of tucking the pouch under your lip, you feel a wave of menthol spreading across your gums. It's not subtle. The peppermint underneath is sharp and slightly spicy, more like real peppermint oil than the sugary mint you get from cheaper pouches. Together, the ice and the mint create a sensation that's genuinely bracing. If you've tried Crispy Peppermint and thought "I wish this was colder," this is the answer.
Freezing Peppermint comes in 10.9mg, 14mg, and 17mg per pouch. The flavour and cooling intensity stay the same across all three — what changes is the nicotine.
The 10.9mg is the lightest option. Still packs plenty of menthol punch, but the nicotine sits in the background. Good for anyone who wants the freezing effect without too much buzz. The 14mg is the middle ground that suits most daily users. And the 17mg MAX is no joke — it's one of the stronger pouches on the UK market and best left to people who already know what they can handle.
VELO uses fibres from Scandinavian pine and eucalyptus trees as the base material. No tobacco leaf anywhere in the product. The filling contains cellulose, xylitol for a touch of sweetness, salmiak salt (which adds a barely-there savoury note beneath all that mint), and pharmaceutical-grade nicotine.
Each slim pouch weighs 0.7g. The surface is dry enough to keep drip minimal, while the inside carries enough moisture to get the flavour moving quickly. The can holds 20 pouches and the packaging is recyclable.
The menthol cooling stays intense for roughly 20 minutes. After that it softens but doesn't vanish entirely. The peppermint flavour itself carries on for about 30 to 35 minutes before it starts to thin out. Not the longest-lasting pouch around, but the sheer intensity in those first 20 minutes more than compensates.
The official RRP is £6.50, which is what you'll pay at Tesco or your local newsagent. Online retailers sell it for significantly less.
