What Is Velo?
Velo is a brand of nicotine pouches — small white pouches containing nicotine, plant fibres, flavourings and sweeteners, but no tobacco. You place one between your gum and upper lip, and nicotine is absorbed through the lining of your mouth. There’s no smoke, no vapour and no spitting, which makes Velo discreet enough to use almost anywhere.
Velo is made by BAT (British American Tobacco) and is one of the most widely used pouch brands in the UK, popular for its slim, comfortable format and clean flavours.
Velo Strengths Explained
Velo is sold in several nicotine strengths so you can match it to your tolerance. At SnusBox the range typically spans:
- 6mg – light, a gentle everyday option for newer users.
- 8–10mg – medium, the most popular all-round strength.
- 11–14mg – strong, for experienced users who want a firmer hit.
New to pouches? Start at 6mg, see how you feel, and move up only if you need to. You can compare every strength on the Velo collection page.
Velo Flavours
Velo covers both the mint and fruit camps. UK favourites at SnusBox include cooling mints like Freezing Peppermint and Crispy Peppermint, and fruitier options such as Purple Grape, Icy Berries, Cherry Ice, Orange Ice and Tropical Mango.

How to Use Velo Pouches
- Take one pouch from the can.
- Place it between your gum and upper lip — either side is fine.
- Leave it in for up to 30 minutes. A light tingle is normal as the nicotine releases.
- Don’t chew or swallow it. Remove and put the used pouch in the lid compartment or general waste.
Most people feel the effect within a few minutes. If a strength feels too strong, take it out and step down to a lower mg next time.
Are Velo Pouches Safe and Legal?
Velo pouches are tobacco-free and fully legal to buy and sell in the UK. They do contain nicotine, which is addictive, so they’re intended for existing adult nicotine users (18+) only and aren’t suitable for non-users, under-18s, or anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. For more on the law, see our guide to whether nicotine pouches are legal in the UK.
