There’s no smell, smoke or tobacco
Nicotine pouches tuck comfortably under your lip, releasing nicotine into the gums for up to 30 minutes and providing nicotine without smell, smoke or tobacco.
They’re available in different flavours
VELO nicotine pouches come in various flavours, including mint and fruit, to suit different tastes. Their ingredients list includes plant-based sweeteners and flavourings.
They can be used anywhere
Many consumers choose nicotine pouches because they can be used on the go.

You can use nicotine pouches in the cinema, in restaurants and bars, on planes and trains, in airports and offices.
What are nicotine pouches made of?
VELO nicotine pouches are made from quality plant-based ingredients. The list includes pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, water (to make the pouch comfortable), flavours and sweeteners.

Most nicotine pouches come in different strengths suited to different nicotine experiences. From low to high, consumers can choose their strength before selecting their favourite flavour.
VELO nicotine are available in a range of strengths, including lower strengths for new and inexperienced users and higher strengths for those looking for the strongest nicotine pouches.

How often should you use nicotine pouches?

Tips for using nicotine pouches
Nicotine pouches are straightforward to use – it’s as simple as pop, tuck, feel – but a few tips can help you make the most of each VELO can.
- Start with a lower nicotine strength: if you’re new to nicotine pouches or trying to reduce your nicotine intake, start with a lower strength to determine your tolerance.
- Check the regulations in your destination country: before travelling with nicotine pouches, check they’re allowed in the country you’re visiting.
- Play with pouch placement: try placing the pouch in different parts of your mouth (always between your lip and gum) to avoid irritating one area.
