2025 has been an exciting year to date for American fans of nicotine pouches, especially when it comes to British American Tobacco’s Velo. Whether you’re a seasoned user in search of the most potent mint flavoring or a beginner who wants to try out fruity conclusions, Velo’s expanded and new product line has something for all taste buds and nicotine levels. In this article, we’ll go on a tour of the top Velo products that have appeared on U.S. retail shelves up to this point in 2025, the company’s new synthetic-nicotine Velo Plus line included, and explain what makes them tick.

What’s New with Velo in 2025

Velo Nicotine Pouches Flavors are designed as tobacco-leaf-free replacements for combustible tobacco products made of plant fiber, nicotine, sweeteners, and flavorings. The initial Velo product launched in the U.S. in 2019 contained plant-based nicotine, whereas the new Velo Plus product line launched in late 2024 and continuing into 2025 contains synthetic nicotine.

By the beginning of 2025, Velo had around 14 flavors in the regular and Plus lines, anything from mint, fruit, and citrus to coffee, cinnamon, and even a plain “smooth” one for individuals who enjoy the texture of tobacco. Velo Plus currently has several new flavors including Dragon Fruit, Citrus Chill, Watermelon Chill, and Purple Grape, offered in 3 mg, 6 mg, or 9 mg.

Synthetic nicotine is a step forward in the universe of nicotine pouches meant to provide a cleaner, more uniform experience than plant-based nicotine.

Mint and Cooling Top Flavors

1. Mighty Peppermint Max

Formerly Freeze Max, this is one of the strongest pouches of Velo, with approximately 17 mg of nicotine per pouch. The peppermint is piercing, icy, and strong, ideal for seasoned smokers who enjoy a strong hit and extended freshness.

2. Peppermint Storm

This pouch offers a strong menthol cooling feel with a clean peppermint aftertaste. It’s slightly less potent than Mighty Peppermint Max but still packs a strong punch for those who enjoy a stimulating feel.

3. Humble Spearmint / Witty Spearmint Mini

Renamed in 2025, this flavor is famous for being creamy and subtly sweet. In a discreet mini size, perfect for newbies or those who need a light mint for daily use.

4. Velo Plus Peppermint and Velo Plus Mint

Both of these products contain synthetic nicotine and come in 6 mg or 9 mg strengths. They offer a crisper experience with a more lingering flavor and a uniform pouch texture perfect for those transitioning from cigarettes or vapes.

Fruity Favorites

1. Frosty Lemon

A pleasantly sour lemon taste with a crisp finish, Frosty Lemon remains a hit. It steers clear of the fake flavor that a few citrus flavors possess and is best suited for a refreshing, zesty sensation.

2. Arctic Grapefruit

It has tart but not strong grapefruit flavor and also finishes on mint. It is a great mid-day pouch when you require an instant pick-me-up.

3. Citrus Chill (Velo Plus)

This flavor has a refreshing citrus flavor with a calming coolness. It’s one of the well-reviewed flavors in the Velo Plus line, with a good balance of fruity freshness and calming mint.

4. Dragon Fruit

Although not everyone is sure that it tastes just like dragon fruit, there is a raspberry sweetness that all users like. The tropical subtlety provides that something extra for users who need to break the mold.

5. Wild Berry / Ruby Berry

Originally Blushy Berry, this flavor is a robust red berry taste with a hint of sweetness. It’s a classic for fruit lovers who prefer less mint but want a little tartness.

6. Purple Grape (Velo Plus)

One of the more flavorful fruit flavors in both taste and in nicotine. Purple Grape tastes rich and sweet but not too sweet. It’s a favorite among consumers who want fruity pleasure with punch.

Specialty & Unique Flavors

Salty Licorice: This is for the fearless palate. The sweet and salty flavor profile is polarizing but nonetheless enjoys a cult following, especially among European consumers and those who enjoy unique flavor profiles.

• Cinnamon: A warm, spicy flavor that would be perfect for winter. Not overpowering and well-balanced.
• Coffee: Ideal for coffee drinkers who like roasted, earthy flavor. Ideal to be taken after meals or during break times.

What People Are Saying in 2025

Reddit and forums show Citrus Chill and Wintergreen getting all the love. Here’s a sampling of some of the most popular choices based on forums:

• Citrus Chill – “Hands down my favorite. It’s light, zesty, and refreshing.”
• Wintergreen – “It’s like a sweet mint candy but hits with nicotine.”
• Dragon Fruit – “More berry than dragon fruit-like in taste, but I enjoy it!”
• Mint & Peppermint – “Clean and long-lasting, not too harsh.”

These reviews comment that everyone has different tastes, but there are some flavors like Citrus Chill and Ruby Berry that appear to be universally popular.

Velo Plus: Why Synthetic Nicotine?

Velo Plus’s launch was the turning point for the company, and it ushered in:

• Cleaner delivery: Less opportunity for impurities with no plant content
• Uniform levels of nicotine:  Improved formulation consistency
• Longer-lasting pouches: Synthetic nicotine retains flavor better

In a more regulatory and quality-aware marketplace, Velo Plus is a line of products that is ahead of its time.

Which Flavor is Right for You?

It is your flavor receptors, nicotine history, and use context which will define the best flavor. New consumers may find Spearmint Mini, Coffee, or Cinnamon more appealing as milder, smoother introductions. Mighty Peppermint Max, Arctic Grapefruit, or Purple Grape will be chosen by experienced consumers because they contain stronger and more powerful flavor. Day-to-day use suits balanced options like Citrus Chill, Frosty Lemon, or Ruby Berry.

Don’t overlook nicotine strength. Velo comes in a wide range from delicate 3 mg to firm 17 mg pouches so find out what works with your body and lifestyle.
