VELO’s Nicotine Pouch Strength Guide

If you’re new to nicotine pouches, you might ponder the meaning of the numbers on each can. They represent the strength of nicotine inside each pouch and usually range between 4mg and 17mg. In VELO’s world, nicotine strength is also illustrated using a handy dot system. But how does it work? Keep reading to learn about nicotine strengths in VELO pouches.

What is nicotine?

Nicotine is a chemical compound and stimulant that comes from plants, particularly the leaves of the tobacco plant. Synthetic nicotine is used in vaping devices and nicotine pouches; this pharmaceutical-grate nicotine polymer is available in different strengths.

What are nicotine pouches?

Nicotine pouches are small fabric sacks containing pharmaceutical-grade nicotine polymer, water, sweeteners and flavourings. They’re tobacco-free and provide adult nicotine consumers with nicotine without heat, ash or smoke*.

They’re designed for use almost anywhere and any time; tuck a pouch between your lip and gum for up to 30 minutes while nicotine is released.

What does nicotine strength mean?

Nicotine strength means just that; the strength of nicotine in a product. In VELO terms, nicotine strength is the nicotine concentration inside each pouch. Our nicotine pouches come in three strength ranges: Mellow, Original and Intense.
