What is VELO?

VELO nicotine pouches are slim, nicotine and flavor-filled pouches that deliver a delicious taste and satisfying buzz. The great thing is that they do all this while being 100% tobacco-free – so they won’t stain your teeth or give you bad breath. And with VELO prices starting at just $4.19 per can, they’re affordable, too!

Why buy VELO nicotine pouches? 

Prilla is packed with pages (and pages) of brands. So why choose this one? Well, where do we start? VELO is one of the most popular nicotine pouches in the USA. It’s loved for its soft, high-quality materials, rejuvenating aromas, and perfectly balanced flavors… In a nutshell, it’s a hit.

While you can find this brand in gas stations and convenience stores, many users recommend that you buy VELO online. This is because physical stores often charge more and don’t stock the full array of the brand’s products. They also tend to keep at suboptimal temperatures and in poor conditions, which can bode for an underwhelming experience.

Do you swallow VELO nicotine pouches?

A common question people ask when learning how to use VELO is – “do you swallow VELO nicotine pouches?” The answer? No, you don’t. But, you can swallow the saliva or spit that the pouches may generate, which is a key benefit, and one that gives these products their ‘spitless’ USP.

VELO nicotine pouches ingredients list

Curious about what’s inside this leading brand’s products? Let's take a closer look at the VELO nicotine pouches ingredients. The main ingredient in them is, of course, nicotine, which is derived from tobacco plants. However, unlike traditional tobacco products, these don’t contain any tobacco leaf or other plant material. Instead, the nicotine is extracted and then added to a blend of food-grade ingredients, including plant fibers, flavorings, sweeteners, and pH adjusters.

The plant fibers used are typically derived from natural sources like eucalyptus and pine, and used as a carrier for the nicotine and other ingredients. They also contain pH adjusters, which help regulate the pH level and ensure that the nicotine is absorbed effectively. 

What are the VELO strengths?

Wondering whether this brand has the right nicotine strength for you? It covers the main strength categories by offering products containing 2, 4, and 7 mg, so there’s a good chance it does!

2 mg is light and, therefore, delivers a gentle boost that’s best for beginners. 4 mg is normal and offers a slightly more intense effect that’ll hit the satisfaction spot for the average user. 7 mg is strong, and produces a significantly more powerful buzz, making it better suited to experienced users.

We always recommend starting low and moving up slow when it comes to nicotine. You can always add more if you feel underwhelmed, but it’s tough to go back on taking too much!

VELO nicotine pouches side effects

Like any nicotine-containing product, these can have side effects. While generally mild and temporary, they can be uncomfortable for some people.Common ones include nausea, dizziness, headaches, and dry mouth. Some people may also experience a burning or tingling sensation in their mouth or throat when using them, especially with minty flavors.

In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, like allergic reactions or difficulty breathing. If you experience any unusual symptoms while using, it's important you cease use and seek medical attention.

Is VELO safe?

This is a smoke-free and spit-free alternative to traditional tobacco products, but is it safe? While the pouches are generally considered less harmful than smoking or chewing tobacco, as they don't contain harmful chemicals like tar, carbon monoxide, or TSNAs, we can't say for certain that they're 100% risk-free. So if you're considering trying these pouches, we recommend that you talk to your doctor or a healthcare professional to determine if they are a safe and appropriate option for you.

Is VELO snus?

We’re often asked “is VELO snus?” to which we always reply – “no, it isn’t…”. Why? Because, unlike Camel Snus and other similar products, VELO is 100% tobacco-free. The brand falls under the category of nicotine pouches, which gives it several distinct benefits, including an all-white appearance, minimal drip, and no risk of stained teeth or bad breath during or after use.
