How to Use VELO: Step-by-Step Guide

To get the most out of your VELO pouches, it’s important to know how to use them correctly and responsibly.

Whether you’re new to nicotine pouches or switching from another brand, here’s a step-by-step breakdown.

How to use nicotine pouches - step by step

Step 1: Choose your VELO pouch

Select your VELO nicotine strength and pouch flavour. VELO offers a range of options from normal to extra strong.

If you’re unsure, start with a lower strength and adjust over time.

Step 2. Open the can

Hold the can firmly and twist the lid to open.

Inside, you’ll find the neatly packed pouches, ready to use.

Step 3. Place the pouch under your lip

Position one pouch under your upper lip.

It should sit comfortably, you’ll feel a slight tingling sensation as the nicotine is released. There’s no need to chew or move it around. 

Step 4: Let it work

Keep the pouch in place for 20–30 minutes (up to 45 minutes if preferred).

You’ll notice the flavour gradually fade as the pouch is used up. 

Step 5: Dispose responsibly

When finished, remove the pouch and place it in the top compartment of the VELO can or a bin. VELO pouches are not recyclable, but the can can be recycled when empty.

Never flush a ZYN down the toilet.

Pro Tips for the Best VELO Experience

For a VELO experience, consider the following tips:

  • Don’t chew or swallow: VELO pouches are designed to sit still under your lip.
  • Place it in the upper lip for comfort and discretion.
  • Store properly: Keep your pouches in a cool, dry place to preserve flavour.
  • Start with a lower nicotine strength if you're new to snus pouches.

  • Discarded temporarily in the lid compartment or thrown straight in the bin.
  • Handled responsibly to reduce waste, use safely, and maintain hygiene.
