If you are looking for free nicotine pouches samples or the VELO Free Can offer, you may have noticed that these offers are no longer available in the UK.
VELO previously offered a Free Can journey for existing adult nicotine consumers. Existing adult nicotine consumers can still use the VELO Trial to explore flavours, strengths and pouch formats based on their preferences.
Does VELO still offer free nicotine pouch samples in the UK?
No. The Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026 introduced a ban on the promotional distribution of nicotine products from 29 October 2026. As a result, VELO no longer offers free nicotine pouch samples through this journey. Existing adult nicotine consumers can still use the VELO Trial to explore flavours, strengths and pouch formats.
Why can't I get a free VELO can anymore?
The Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026 now restricts businesses from giving away nicotine products where the purpose or effect is to promote the product. This means VELO's previous Free Can proposition is no longer available.
What has replaced the VELO Free Can journey?
Existing adult nicotine consumers can use the VELO Trial to find VELO options based on their flavour, strength and pouch-size preferences.
The quiz asks about your experience with nicotine pouches, preferred VELO range and flavour preferences. Based on your answers, it then shows a VELO option for you to explore.
Can I still try VELO nicotine pouches?
Existing adult nicotine consumers can use the VELO Trial to find VELO options based on their flavour, strength and pouch-size preferences. Where a paid introductory option is available, the applicable price will be shown in the journey.
The revised VELO Trial pricing is:
• Slim cans: £2.50
• Mini cans: £2.00
Which VELO nicotine strength should I choose?
VELO offers Mellow, Original and Intense ranges across different nicotine strengths. Existing adult nicotine consumers who are new to VELO or currently use lower-strength products should explore the lower-strength options first, while our stronger products are intended for experienced adult nicotine pouch users.
What is the difference between VELO Mini and Slim pouches?
Mini pouches have a smaller format, while Slim pouches are longer and are available across a wider selection of VELO strengths and flavours.
What if I do not currently use nicotine?
If you are an adult who does not currently use nicotine but still chooses to try VELO, we recommend starting with our lowest available strength. Higher-strength nicotine pouches may produce a more intense experience, while experienced adult nicotine users may prefer stronger strengths.
By “burn”, we mean the heat and tingling sensation felt on the gum or in the mouth when the product is used.
Read more in the VELO UK guide to what nicotine pouches feel like.
I’m new to VELO, what should I do?
If you’re new to VELO, consider starting with the VELO Mellow range. As VELO’s lowest-strength range, it is designed for existing adult nicotine consumers who prefer a milder nicotine experience.
Take our VELO Trial quiz to find a flavour, strength and pouch format that matches your preferences.
The VELO Mellow range offers a smoother nicotine experience and may be a suitable option for adult smokers or vapers who are new to VELO nicotine pouches.
Explore VELO based on your preferences
Free nicotine pouch offers are no longer available through the previous VELO Free sample journey. Existing adult nicotine consumers can use the VELO Trial to explore flavours, strengths and pouch formats based on their preferences.
