VELO nicotine pouches differ from oral tobacco products in several ways. But how are they produced? What ingredients do they contain? And how much nicotine is in a nicotine pouch? We address all these questions and more in our in-depth guide.
WHAT ARE VELO NICOTINE POUCHES?
VELO nicotine pouches are tobacco-free but still contain nicotine and additional ingredients*. Each VELO pouch is small and designed to sit between the gum and the lip, where nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the mouth.
Nicotine strengths range from 4mg to 17mg. The packaging features our handy dot system to indicate strength –fewer dots mean lower nicotine content, while more dots mean higher nicotine content.
VELO pouches also come in a variety of flavours, from cool and freezing mint flavours to sweet and fruity options, offering something for everyone.
INGREDIENTS IN VELO NICOTINE POUCHES
Nicotine in a pouch might sound weird. And it is, but it’s also pretty wonderful. VELO nicotine pouches contain:
• Water
• Plant-based materials
• Flavourings
• Sweeteners
• Nicotine
HOW ARE VELO NICOTINE POUCHES MADE?
VELO nicotine pouches are manufactured in our specialist factories in Europe.**
Packaging and storage
Once manufacturing is complete, VELO pouches are packaged in moisture-resistant containers to preserve freshness. Each can contains a specific number of pouches, typically 15 or 20.
Each VELO container lists batch information, nicotine strength, flavour, and manufacturing details. Our packaging also includes tamper-evident seals, so you can make sure your VELO pouches are intact when you buy them.
ARE NICOTINE POUCHES THE SAME AS SNUS?
VELO nicotine pouches are not the same as snus. VELO is very different from traditional snus, which is a traditional oral tobacco product commonly used by tobacco consumers in Scandinavia and the USA.
Snus is typically made from air-dried tobacco and contains tobacco leaf as its primary ingredient, while VELO nicotine pouches contain pharmaceutical-grade nicotine but no tobacco.
WHERE ARE VELO NICOTINE POUCHES MADE?
VELO nicotine pouches are made in our specialist factories in Europe, in line with stringent European manufacturing standards and quality oversight.**
Nicotine pouches were originally invented in Sweden, and this Scandinavian heritage shapes our design and manufacturing approach. Reflecting the Nordic reputation for simple yet innovative solutions, VELO pouches combine a subtle, sleek design with easy-to-use functionality.
QUALITY CHECKS AND STANDARDS
VELO maintains rigorous quality control standards throughout the entire manufacturing process. Our quality measures are designed to help deliver the consistent, reliable experience users expect.
HOW DO YOU USE VELO NICOTINE POUCHES: POP, TUCK, FEEL
Using VELO nicotine pouches is simple. Just place one pouch between your upper lip and gum. There’s no right way to do this, so find out what’s best for you.
You can keep the pouch under your lip for up to 30 minutes.

HOW SHOULD VELO NICOTINE POUCHES BE STORED?
Store VELO pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Always store your VELO pouches in their original container, and keep the container tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the pouches from drying out.
HOW LONG CAN I KEEP A VELO POUCH IN MY MOUTH?
How long you use nicotine pouches for depends on personal preference and the nicotine strength you're using. Many users keep VELO pouches in place for 15-30 minutes. You may notice the flavour and nicotine release diminishing over time, which indicates the pouch has delivered most of its content. Remove the pouch when you’ve had enough and dispose of it.
