How long do nicotine pouches last?
How long your VELO nicotine pouches last in their can depends on how you store them – there are a few important dos and don’ts when maintaining them. Generally, nicotine pouches have a relatively long shelf life, usually around a year from purchase to expiration.

Keeping your nicotine pouches fresh
There are a few simple ways to keep your VELO nicotine pouches fresh after opening the can. Find out how to maintain the quality of your pouches below:
- Store nicotine pouches at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Heat and sunlight can impact the quality of nicotine and flavourings inside the pouches.
- Consider keeping nicotine pouches in the fridge to preserve their freshness. Any cool, shady spot will do if you can’t keep them in the fridge.
- Keep VELO nicotine pouches in the can they come in. It’s designed to maintain freshness with an extra compartment in the lid for holding onto your used pouches when there’s no bin around.
- Remove each VELO pouch from your mouth after a maximum of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the nicotine consumption and flavour are reduced.
Can you reuse nicotine pouches?
No, reusing VELO nicotine pouches is not recommended. After 30 minutes inside your mouth, a nicotine pouch has released most of its nicotine and flavour. If you want more nicotine after this time, take out a fresh VELO pouch and tuck it in place.
If you remove your VELO pouch before 30 minutes pass, keeping damp nicotine pouches for a second use is not recommended. Dispose of it responsibly and choose a fresh pouch when you’re ready to consume more nicotine. This means you’ll feel each VELO pouch’s full flavour and effectiveness.
