VELO Pouch Sizes
The VELO mini pouches tend to be a lower nicotine strength than the slim pouches: if we take VELO Ruby Berry for example, VELO Ruby Berry Slim pouches have at least 10 mg of nicotine per pouch whereas the VELO Ruby Mini pouches have 4 mg and 4 mg of nicotine per pouch. However, it is good to note that both do still fit comfortably between your upper lip and gum and are definitely discreet to use.
VELO Ingredients
Like a lot of nicotine pouches, VELO snus contains tobacco-leaf free nicotine: this means the nicotine used in these pouches is extracted from the tobacco leaf, but does not contain any tobacco. The full list of VELO ingredients includes:
- - Nicotine
- - Water
- - Flavourings (which flavourings are used will vary depending on which flavour you choose)
- - Sweeteners
- - Plant-based materials
How To Open VELO
All VELO nicotine pouches come in a circular plastic container, known as a can. No matter if you choose VELO mini or slim pouches, they both open the same way - just the VELO mini cans are smaller in dimensions. VELO cans have a childproof lid which means it requires some effort to get it open and once you know how to open VELO cans, it will be super simple to do! Follow these two steps if you are wondering how to open a VELO box.
1. Break the seal around the edge of the can. Look for a slight gap or a perforated edge around the middle of the can and break it using your nails or even your fingers if you can while twisting the can around.
2. Using one hand, gently press just below the gap and with your other hand, pull the lid up. You can gently twist the VELO can as you pull if it requires a bit more force.
How to Use VELO Nicotine Pouches Step-By-Step Guide
Now for the main event - using VELO nicotine pouches! Once the can is opened, you can start using your VELO pouches! If you have used other nicotine pouches, the steps for using VELO are very similar. Just like other nicotine pouches, VELO pouches are placed between the lip and gum, where the nicotine gets absorbed into your bloodstream via the mucous membranes in the lining of your mouth.
It is important that you learn how to use VELO and other nicotine pouches properly, so here is a step-by-step guide to follow:
- Choose your preferred VELO flavour and strength
- Take one of the VELO pouches out of the can.
- Place it between your gum and upper lip.
- Leave it in place. You will most likely feel a slight tingling sensation when you park the pouch, but this usually subsides after around 15 minutes.
- Take it out and dispose of it in either the storage compartment in the lid or in a bin.
Once you have used your VELO pouches, it is important to make sure you dispose of the can and used pouches correctly. Since the materials used to create the pouches themselves are not recyclable, it's important that you do not throw the pouches in anywhere other than a regular bin.
However, VELO cans are recyclable in most places in the UK via the plastic waste.
If you can recycle your VELO cans - make sure to remove all the old pouches before putting them in the recycling!
VELO Expert Review
Considering trying VELO but not sure where to start with the VELO snus range? Why not try one of the top pouches! Our Northerner snus expert, Jan, reviewed the top 3 best selling VELO pouches on Northerner:
- VELO Freezing Peppermint
- VELO Bright Spearmint
- VELO Crispy Peppermint
VELO Freezing Peppermint
“The VELO Freezing Peppermint range offers 3 different pouch strength options, but my favourite is the VELO Freezing Peppermint 10.9 mg. It provides a wonderfully strong peppermint aroma when you open the can. These pouches offer a welcome difference to the usual sweet mints, but be warned - you may feel a slight sting at first as peppermint and other strong mints can add to the sensation you feel from a pouch. Once you get past the initial intensity, the softness of the pouch material makes them comfortable to use. I found the flavour is released fairly consistently for around 40 minutes. These pouches are one to consider if you are an experienced pouch user who likes an extra strong pouch - as the VELO Freezing Peppermint range has nicotine strengths from 10.9 mg up to 17 mg per pouch!”
VELO Bright Spearmint
“I always like to keep a can of VELO Polar Bright Spearmint Mini on hand - they come in both mini and slim portions. Sweet and smooth, these pouches bring a subtle minty flavour with a core note of spearmint. You'll get about 45 minutes of flavour release, with a gentle chill from the mint. The VELO Bright Spearmint pouches come in a couple of different nicotine strength options that are lower compared to some of the other more popular VELO mint varieties, making them a popular choice for those who want a sweeter spearmint taste with a lower amount of nicotine per pouch.”
VELO Crispy Peppermint
“The VELO Crispy Peppermint 10 mg pouches are definitely my favourites out of all the VELO snus range! With its perfectly balanced peppermint and menthol flavour, it fits right in between your upper lip and gum without anyone noticing. As you start using it, the cooling sensation will hit you, however, after that you'll be able to taste the sweetness of the peppermint combined with the cooling menthol. This product gives a full mint hit that lasts for around 40 minutes, just like VELO Freezing Peppermint, but this one has a less sharp taste and a sweeter flavour - which makes it a winner for me."
