What are nicotine pouches?
Nicotine pouches are small, tobacco-free** pouches that contain nicotine. You place one between your lip and gum, and it gradually releases nicotine - VELO pouches do this for up to 30 minutes, though this can vary by brand.
VELO offers a range of flavours and nicotine strengths to suit different preferences and experience levels. Nicotine in a pouch? Unexpected. No smoke*, ash or charging? Convenient.

What’s inside a nicotine pouch?
VELO nicotine pouches are made from water, plant-based materials, flavourings, sweeteners, and nicotine -all packed into a small fabric pouch.
Learn more about how they’re made in our guide: How Are VELO Pouches Made?
Are nicotine pouches easy to use?
Yes- they’re designed for convenience. Just tuck one between your lip and gum whenever you need it. No smoke, no vapour, no fuss.
VELO cans also come with a built-in compartment in the lid for storing used pouches until you can dispose of them properly.
How often should you use nicotine pouches?
That depends on your nicotine needs and experience. You might prefer stronger pouches or go for a lower strength.
Only you know what works best for you, so choose a flavour and strength that suits your preferences and follow the usage guidance on the label.
VELO pouches release nicotine for up to 30 minutes. Once you’re done, remove the pouch and dispose of it responsibly.
What do nicotine pouches feel like?
When you first use a VELO pouch, you might notice a tingling sensation -what we call the VELO burn***. It can take a little getting used to, but it’s part of the experience.
If the burn feels too strong, try a lower strength or a different flavour. There’s plenty to choose from.
*By burn, we mean a heat and tingle sensation on the gum when VELO is used.
How do nicotine pouches compare to smoking, vaping and snus?
Like cigarettes, vapes and snus, nicotine pouches deliver nicotine. Their design and how they work make them different to the alternatives – keep reading to learn how.
Smoking
Nicotine in a pouch? Unexpected. No smoke smell*? A bonus. VELO pouches deliver nicotine without tobacco and can be used discreetly -no need to head to the smoking area. They’re available in various strengths to suit different experience levels.

Vaping
No heat, vapour* or charging required -so you can use nicotine pouches anytime, anywhere. Like vapes, they come in a variety of flavours. Wondering about cost? Whether vaping or using nicotine pouches is cheaper depends on the brand, retailer pricing, and how often you use them.

Snus
Snus is a tobacco product, available loose or in pouches. Like nicotine pouches, it’s placed between the lip and gum to release nicotine -but snus contains tobacco, while nicotine pouches are tobacco-free*.

VELO nicotine pouches come in an assortment of fruit and mint flavours and bold new flavours like Cinnamon Flame and Lime Flame.
