Take a pouch from the tin and park it between your upper lip and gum, slightly off-centre. Expect a light tingle for the first few minutes; that is the nicotine releasing, and it settles down. Leave it in for 20 to 40 minutes, then pop the used pouch in the lid compartment until you find a bin. Do not chew or swallow the pouch.
The release peaks in the first ten minutes and carries on for up to about 40. Most people are done at the half-hour mark. A tin of 20 typically lasts a moderate user two to three days.
Whatever the tin says: our range covers 10mg, 14mg and 17mg per pouch. Note that your body absorbs a portion of that over the session rather than the whole figure at once, which is why a 14mg pouch feels comparable to a cigarette rather than seven of them.
Small amounts are normal and generally fine, though some people find it causes mild hiccups or a warm throat early on. If that happens, tilt the pouch position or spit until you acclimatise. Never swallow the pouch itself.
VELO is owned by British American Tobacco, one of the largest nicotine companies in the world, and is its flagship modern-oral brand. That backing is why the quality control and availability are so consistent tin to tin.
Yes. Because they contain no tobacco, pouches sit outside the smoking and vaping bans, and you can use them indoors at your own discretion. We sell them to adults aged 18 and over only, the same standard we apply to every nicotine product.
