VELO Nicotine Pouches

VELO Plus

The US market first welcomed VELO in 2019, and since then, products have roughly followed the same formula.

That changed in 2024 with the launch of VELO Plus, so prepare to forget anything you thought you knew about the brand — this is a bold step away from the existing collection.

Typically, a new nicotine pouch range might mean some fresh, experimental flavors. But VELO Plus takes things to a new level by reimagining the brand’s offerings.

Note: VELO Plus isn’t the same as VELO Max, a name given to all previous products by the brand with nicotine contents of 7 mg.

VELO Plus vs Original

Here’s how VELO Plus pouches are different:

• They’re larger. While most VELO products were previously a mini format, the new pouches are longer and slightly wider.
• They’re stronger. Strengths are either 6mg or 9mg, going higher than 7mg per pouch.
• They’re moist. Moving away from the previous dry contents, VELO Plus pouches are moist. This results in a more intense, soft, and flavorful experience.
• They have different lids. The products now have a hinged lid, allowing users to easily dispose of used pouches.

Some users have already speculated that VELO Plus could turn out to be stiff competition for major brands like ZYN, but only time will tell.

Popular VELO Flavors

Whether opting for VELO Plus, Max, or standard products, flavor is everything.

Here are the most popular VELO flavors and their tasting notes:

• VELO Citrus 4 mg: Get set for an energizing citrus taste! This product bursts with fresh, sweet, and satisfyingly sour tones that’ll put a smile on your face. 
• VELO Mint 4 mg: Cool, sweet mint that’ll make the lips tingle, give a kick, and leave breath fresh for hours.
• VELO Max Wintergreen 7 mg: A creamy, full-bodied, yet refreshing taste of wintergreen. Looking for an alternative to mint? This one’s worth a try.

VELO Plus Flavors

In the VELO Plus range, there are some familiar faces alongside new additions. The six taste profiles are:

• VELO Plus Wintergreen: A creamy, aromatic mint that’s a firm favorite among many pouch users.
• Wild Berry: A sweet fusion of berries.
• VELO Plus Peppermint: The ultimate potent mint, with a chilling, numbing effect.
• Spearmint: A light, sweet mint flavor.
• Mint: A balanced mint flavor, combining sweetness with a refreshing quality.
• VELO Plus Citrus Chill: A fresh citrus flavor combined with cooling elements

Where to Buy VELO Nicotine Pouches

It’s often possible to find VELO in gas stations and convenience stores, but many users recommend buying online. Physical stores often charge more or fail to stock the full array of products — especially newer additions like VELO Plus. In contrast, on Prilla, we sell a wide selection of the VELO collection.

It’s also much easier to buy online in a few clicks than to spend hours driving from shop to shop to find a specific product. 

Plus, brick-and-mortar shops tend to store their pouches at suboptimal temperatures and in poor conditions, which can bode for an underwhelming experience. Online specialists know better (at least, that’s the case here on Prilla)!

VELO Nicotine Strengths

4 mg is a standard strength that’ll hit the satisfaction spot for the average user. Pouches with 6 mg and 7 mg of nicotine are somewhat stronger, making them suitable for experienced users looking for a pouch for everyday use. 9 mg is the most potent offering, and designed for intensity — especially considering it is combined with moist contents, which provide a faster release.

We always recommend starting low and moving up slowly when it comes to nicotine. It’s always possible to add more if the experience is underwhelming, but it’s tough to go back on taking too much.
