Why choose nicotine pouches?
VELO nicotine pouches offer a convenient alternative for adult nicotine users. Let’s look at why many choose nicotine pouches:
1. Nicotine without smell, smoke*, or tobacco*
Because of how nicotine pouches are used, nicotine is absorbed through the gum - not smoked or inhaled - so you get nicotine without the smell, smoke*, or tobacco*.
2. Choose flavours that match your taste
VELO pouches come in a wide range of flavours - from fruity and minty to creamy and tropical to suit any taste. We use plant-based sweeteners and flavourings for a high-quality experience.
3. Use them anywhere
Thanks to their discreet design, VELO pouches can be used anytime, unlike cigarettes or vapes which are subject to restrictions. Just pop the can, tuck a pouch under your lip, and enjoy the tingle.
How to use nicotine pouches: pop, tuck, feel
To use a nicotine pouch, open the can and place a pouch between your upper lip and gum. Leave it there for up to 30 minutes while it releases nicotine. The tingling sensation you feel as nicotine is released is a normal part of the VELO experience.

Tips for using nicotine pouches
1. Expect to feel the VELO tingle
You’ll feel a tingle under your lip when using our pouches. This is normal and part of the nicotine release, so there's nothing to worry about; it is simply the nicotine release. Menthol pouches may intensify this sensation due to their minty flavour. We offer a range of various flavours to suit every taste so if you prefer something milder, choose an alternative if you don’t want to intensify the VELO tingle.
2. Start with a lower nicotine strength
Begin with a lower nicotine level (like 4mg or 6mg VELO MINI) to get a feel for the product and understand what works best for your needs.
