Grape at the top of the VELO range
VELO sells Purple Grape across most of its UK strength ladder, as a slim pouch at 8mg, 14mg and 17mg, and this is the 17mg can at the very top. VELO is BAT's nicotine pouch brand, born in Sweden and produced in Europe. The maker describes the flavour as a blend of red grapes with a hint of acidity, and there's no mint and no sensation on this can, which makes it the plainest fruit in the Full Strength tier of our VELO shelf. Side by side with Icy Berries, Mango Flame and Orange Spark at the same 17mg, it's the one that leaves the fruit alone. Start here if you want grape with the most behind it.
What it tastes like
Red grapes, sweet and round, with a hint of acidity to keep them from being all sugar. That's the maker's description, and it's a fair one. The grape leads from the first pouch and stays in charge throughout, with the sharper edge sitting underneath rather than on top. There's no mint, no cooling and no second fruit, so it reads as one clear flavour from start to finish. For anyone who likes grape sweets or grape juice and wants a pouch that keeps to the fruit, this is the one.
How strong it is
Each pouch carries 17mg of nicotine, which sits in the strong band on our scale, from 16mg to 25mg. It's the highest strength VELO makes, and the maker's figures for a 17mg slim can come to 24mg a gram with six dots on the can. In snus terms it's a can for people who use pouches every day and want a strong one. The can is slim, holds 20 pouches and weighs 14 g. The pouches are tobacco free, made from water, plant based materials, flavourings, sweeteners and nicotine, as VELO lists them. If 17mg is a step too far, VELO also makes Purple Grape at 8mg and 14mg in the same slim pouch.

Who it is for
Purple Grape 17mg suits people who use snus every day, like grape and want VELO's top strength without a mint or a sensation in the way. It's the natural pick for anyone who has used the VELO fruit cans at 8mg or 10mg and wants a big step up with a single clear flavour. It also suits grape fans who'd rather have the fruit on its own than paired with mint.
If you want 17mg with a minty cool, Icy Berries is the berry can beside it. If you want a sensation with your fruit at 17mg, Mango Flame warms and Orange Spark tingles. If you only try one plain fruit VELO at full strength, make it this one.
