Why choose nicotine pouches?
VELO nicotine pouches offer adult nicotine consumers a convenient and alternative way to get nicotine. Let’s look at why some people choose nicotine pouches:
1. Access nicotine with no smell, smoke* or tobacco*
Because of how nicotine pouches are used, nicotine is absorbed through the gum (not smoked or inhaled). So you can access nicotine with no smell, smoke* or tobacco*.
2. Choose flavours to suit your taste
Nicotine pouches come in many flavours, from tropical and creamy to minty and fruity options to suit any taste. Among our list of high-quality ingredients, we use plant-based sweeteners and flavourings.
3. Use them anywhere
VELO pouches’ subtle design and easy-to-use pouch mean you can use them any time, unlike cigarettes and vape devices, which are subject to legal restrictions. Pop the can, tuck one under your lip and feel the tingle.
How to use nicotine pouches: pop, tuck, feel
To use a nicotine pouch, pop open the container and tuck the pouch between your top lip and gum. Leave it there for up to 30 minutes of tingling nicotine release. The tingling sensation you feel as nicotine is released is a normal part of the VELO experience.
If you’re new to nicotine pouches, the process might seem weird. Follow our simple steps to use them:
- Open your VELO can

- Keep the pouch under your lip (for up to 30 minutes)
- Dispose of the used nicotine pouch in the nearest rubbish bin or place it inside the handy cap on top of your VELO can

How often should you use nicotine pouches?

Tips for using nicotine pouches
1. Expect to feel the VELO tingle
You might feel a tingle under your lip when using nicotine pouches. This is nothing to worry about; it’s just the nicotine release. Menthol pouches can intensify this tingling sensation because of their minty flavour. Nicotine pouches come in various flavours to suit every taste, so choose an alternative if you don’t want to intensify the VELO tingle.
2. Start with a lower nicotine strength
Start with a low nicotine strength (like 4mg or 6mg VELO MINI) to get a feel for the product and understand what works best for your needs.
3. Check the rules before travelling with nicotine pouches
Nicotine pouches can be used almost anywhere, at any time. But if you plan to go abroad, check the regulations in the country you’re travelling to, as specific restrictions may apply.
