A different pouch shape at 8mg
The short answer is that Shift is VELO's differently shaped pouch, and Cool Peppermint is the mint version with a cooling feel. VELO is the nicotine pouch brand of BAT, British American Tobacco. BAT launched Shift in Sweden in 2025 and describes it as a pouch with a new shape designed for comfort, with rounded edges and a six sided can. The maker names the format Comfort, and every Shift can comes at 8mg a pouch. Here it sits next to Shift Hot Spearmint, the warm one. What to know is that the shape is the difference, and the strength stays put. A good place to start with the Shift line.
How it tastes
Clean peppermint with a cooling sensation behind it. The peppermint takes the lead and holds it, and the cool feel the maker builds into this can stays in the background. There is no fruit here and no second mint named, so it comes across as one clear flavor with a fresh finish. If you know the peppermint from VELO's regular mint cans, this is the same kind of flavor in the rounded pouch. Straightforward and fresh from start to finish.
How strong it is
Here's how it works. Each pouch has 8mg of nicotine, which puts it on the first step of the medium band on our strength scale, 8mg to 16mg. Every Shift can is 8mg, so within Shift you pick a flavor, not a strength. The maker's page lists three dots, 11.4mg a gram and 20 pouches in the can. That lands the Shift cans in the Lower Strength tier of the VELO shelf here. These pouches are tobacco free as well. BAT also says the Shift can uses 90 percent bio based plastic on a mass balance basis.

Who it is for
Shift Cool Peppermint fits adults who use nicotine pouches regularly, like plain peppermint and want to try the rounded Shift pouch. At 8mg it is an everyday strength, so it suits people who want the new shape without changing how strong their pouch is. It also works for VELO users who like the brand's peppermints and want one in the Comfort format.
If you want warmth instead of cool, Shift Hot Spearmint is the other Shift can at the same 8mg. If you want peppermint with more strength in the standard pouch, Freezing Peppermint at 14mg and Peppermint Storm at 14mg are the next steps up. For a cool peppermint in the Shift shape, this is the can.
