If you’re just getting into nicotine pouches, you probably have some questions — like what does “nicotine strength” actually mean? and how do I choose the right one for me? We’ve got you covered.

Here’s a breakdown of what nicotine strength is, how it works in VELO pouches, and how to pick the level that fits your needs.

First Things First: What Is Nicotine?

Nicotine is a naturally occurring chemical found in tobacco plants. It’s a stimulant — and in products like VELO pouches, it’s delivered without the tobacco.

VELO pouches contain high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade nicotine that absorbs into your system when the pouch is placed between your gum and lip. Simple as that: pop it in, tuck it, and feel it kick in.

What Does Nicotine Strength Actually Mean?

When we talk about nicotine strength, we’re referring to the amount of nicotine in each pouch. With VELO, that strength is labeled right on the can, so you know what you’re getting. We also use a dot system to visually show you how strong a pouch is — more dots, more nicotine.

VELO Nicotine Strengths: What’s the Difference?

Velo pouches come in three core strength categories:

Tips for Getting Started

If you’re new to nicotine pouches or trying to adjust your routine, here are a few helpful tips to get the most out of the experience:

1. Start Low and Go Slow
Begin with a lower strength and see how your body reacts. You can always work your way up to stronger pouches as your tolerance grows.

2. Stay Mindful of How Many You Use
They might taste great and feel convenient, but it's best to keep track of how often you use them — especially if you're new to pouches.

3. Choose Based on Your Nicotine Habits
Whether you're coming from smoking, vaping, or something else, try to match your nicotine strength to what you're used to. Everyone’s needs are different.

4. Store Them Right
To keep your pouches fresh and effective, store them in their original packaging, away from direct heat, sunlight, and moisture.

A Quick Note on Safety

We want your VELO experience to be smooth and safe. Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Keep out of reach of children
  
  

• Don’t swallow the pouches
  
  

• Use each pouch for no more than 30 minutes
  
  

• Follow the instructions on the can
  
  

• Store pouches in their original container
  
  

• If you feel unwell, try switching to a lower strength
  
  

• Check ingredients if you have allergies
