Edge - Watermelon

Edge Watermelon: The Light One

Watermelon is a strange fruit to put in a pouch. It's mostly water, after all, and its flavour is famously delicate. Edge Watermelon gets round that by keeping things crisp and clean rather than trying to force a big candy hit. The result is the lightest-tasting of the three Edge fruits: sweet, refreshing and summery, made in the UK, tobacco-free, in 3mg, 6mg, 9mg and 12mg.

What Does Edge Watermelon Taste Like?

Edge describes sweet, crisp, sun-ripened watermelon that's reminiscent of summer days, and the "crisp" part is the important bit. This is the pale pink flesh near the rind rather than a watermelon sweet; fresh, lightly sweet, faintly green. There's a pinch of salt in the recipe too, a trick borrowed from anyone who's ever sprinkled salt on a slice of melon, and it sharpens the sweetness rather than making anything taste salty.

No menthol, no ice. It's refreshing by nature rather than by chemistry. Some people will find it too subtle; others will decide it's the only fruit pouch that doesn't feel like it's shouting.

Edge Watermelon Strengths

Edge's own tingle guide lists its strengths as mg per gram, and the brand doesn't publish a pouch weight, so we quote the figure exactly as it appears on the can rather than guess at a per-pouch number. Relative to each other, the steps are clear: 3mg is barely-there, 12mg is for people who already use pouches daily. A delicate flavour and a strong dose don't always get on, so if you're choosing Watermelon for the taste, the 3mg to 9mg strengths show it off best.

Who Is Edge Watermelon For?

People who like fruit pouches but find most of them sickly. Newcomers, since the 3mg is one of our gentlest pouches and appears in the low-strength range. Anyone looking for a pouch to use on a warm afternoon when mint feels too much.

It's not the right choice if you want intensity of flavour. For that, Edge Mango is richer and Strawberry is sweeter. Want cool and fresh? Spearmint.

Picking Between Edge's Fruits

• Lightest, most refreshing: Watermelon
• Sweetest: Strawberry
• Richest, most tropical: Mango (6mg and 9mg only)

Edge itself suggests Watermelon to Mango fans after another summery flavour, and suggests Mint or Spearmint to anyone who wants something cooler. You can compare all five flavours on our Edge nicotine pouches page or look through the wider fruit flavour collection.
