Strength
Zolt keeps it simple: every tin is 15mg, which is our Strong strength. Swap flavours as often as you like and the kick stays the same.
Velo gives you a ladder inside one brand. Wintry Watermelon is 10mg; Peppermint Storm, Crispy Peppermint and Mango Flame are 14mg; Peppermint Storm and Mighty Peppermint also come at 15.6mg; and X Freeze Max tops out at 20mg. A 14mg or 15.6mg Velo is close to a Zolt in strength.
Flavour
This is the biggest difference. Zolt has the widest range on the site: Peppermint, Spearmint, Wintergreen and Cool Mint, then Mango Magic, Peach, Lemon, Pink Lemon, Sour Apple, Strawberry and Watermelon Wave, then Coffee, Vanilla, Gummie Buddies and Island Breeze.
Velo is mint first: Peppermint Storm, Crispy Peppermint, Mighty Peppermint and the icy X Freeze Max, with Mango Flame and Wintry Watermelon for fruit.
Which should you pick?
- Pick Zolt if you like variety, want fruit or sweet flavours, or want one strength you can count on.
- Pick Velo if you mostly use mint and want to choose your strength, from 10mg to 20mg.
- Can’t decide? Mix them. Any 5+ eligible tins take 10% off automatically, so a few of each is the easiest way to compare.
