Here we explain the VELO burning*, tingling sensation. We explore the facts behind the VELO burn sensation from nicotine pouches and how nicotine strength impacts intensity.
It’s important to remember that nicotine consumption is addictive and is not risk-free.
Why Do Nicotine Pouches Cause a Burning* Sensation?
The “burning” sensation associated with nicotine pouches is a result of the interaction between nicotine,
salt, flavour ingredients and the oral mucosa. This reaction is commonly described as tingling or warming and is a typical part of the product experience, appreciated by more experienced users.
For many adult nicotine consumers, especially those new to nicotine pouches, the sensation may feel stronger or unexpected at first. As the body becomes familiar with the format, the perception of intensity may change,but individual user experience can vary.
If the sensation feels too intense, consider choosing VELO variants with lower nicotine levels to better suit your
preference and comfort.
Did you know?
• Nicotine, salts and flavours interact with the oral mucosa, stimulating nerve endings and resulting in a
tingling or mild burning feeling.
• The intensity of the burn* can also be related to the nicotine content in the pouch. Higher nicotine strengths—such as 8 mg and above—can cause a more intense “burn” than lower strengths like 4 mg. Lower nicotine strength pouches should reduce the likelihood of discomfort.
• Various flavour ingredients with heating or cooling properties may produce distinct tingling sensations,
which can also be incorporated into zero-nicotine products.
• Nicotine pouches with higher moisture content may result in a more intense burn* sensation.
*By burn we mean a heat and tingle sensation on the gum when product is used.
