Abundant with flavour, the brand has become synonymous with variety, presenting a wide array of flavours and nicotine strengths to suit every taste preference. Speaking of which, we must discuss the fact that VELO is undergoing a revamp of its flavour offerings. Currently, the names and labelling of flavours differ depending on what country you reside in. However, the brand is currently dedicated to standardising its flavour selection across Europe.

This process entails saying goodbye to some familiar flavours, as several of VELO's signature options are receiving a fresh new look with updated names. Simultaneously, some flavours will or have been retired from VELO’s flavour range. While all this might seem confusing, it actually serves as a revitalising and exciting change for VELO! Prepare to be tantalised by VELO’s fresh and invigorating flavour range!

While we’re at it, let’s discuss what else makes VELO nicotine pouches the talk of the town! For starters, VELO is a dominant player in the market across Europe, and the brand has its eyes set on global domination. As the popularity of nicotine pouches spreads across the world, VELO hopes to be the predominant name in the market.

On top of that, VELO nicotine pouches are all about delivering a smorgasbord of flavours and nicotine strengths that cater to literally everyone. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the world of nicotine pouches or are a more seasoned aficionado, VELO's got what you’re looking for. Skimming through VELO’s flavours, you’ll be dazzled by the magnitude of choice the brand has to offer.

Here’s another thing that makes VELO nicotine pouches unique: the brand’s canisters are pretty much a guidebook for your taste buds. With labels like Heating, Tingling, and Cooling, VELO makes choosing flavours a very intuitive process.

Speaking of those canister aesthetics …

Our Main Tester’s Take

Velo Nicotine Pouches - Look & Feel

Here’s the first thing to note about VELO nicotine pouches: Don't be surprised if the canister you pick up in one country looks different in another country. See, VELO's design varies depending on where you are. A flavour might have a different design and name in the UK than it does in Sweden or elsewhere in Europe.

Now, onto the range of design(s) these canisters boast! Some canisters are like party animals dressed in bold, vibrant colours, such as Iced Melon, while others like Freeze or Royal Violet maintain a more straightforward look, clad in white with just a splash of coloured lettering.

Then there are the rebels of the bunch—canisters like Orange Spark and Peppermint Storm—that look almost like they belong to another brand. No matter what, though, all VELO canisters are proudly adorned with the brand’s name in bold lettering. That way, you’ll always know when you’re indulging in some delightful VELO nicotine pouches.

VELO nicotine pouches weigh a mere 0.5g for the Mini and a slightly larger 0.7g for the Slim variant. These discreet companions fit snugly beneath your lip, offering a sly and subtle form of indulgence. With a prolonged effect lasting 30 to 45 minutes, these products are designed for endurance.

VELO’s Mini containers hold 18 pouches, while the Slim containers accommodate 20, ensuring you are well-equipped for your daily activities. These numbers pretty much align with industry standards.

Velo Flavours: What's Available and What's Good?

We admit it can get a tad confusing navigating the diverse realm of VELO flavours. For instance, in recent years, some LYFT flavours have transitioned over to VELO. And on top of that, certain flavours have different names in Sweden or other parts of Europe than they might in the UK. It’s definitely hard to wrap your head around!

Here’s the good news: VELO is currently attempting to harmonise its operations and product offerings across Europe. Some flavours are bidding farewell, while others are receiving makeovers. Nevertheless, many, many popular choices from the VELO range remain.

Now, let’s transition to the very essence of VELO nicotine pouches—the flavours. First up, we have the timeless VELO Mint, which delivers a refreshing sensation akin to a breath of fresh air. How can mint lovers resist?

Next, there’s the invigorating VELO Lime Flame, which offers a zesty kick to enliven your senses. It’s like having a spicy margarita in a pouch form!

VELO Orange Spark radiates sunshine vibes, infusing zest into a blend that tastes like the ripest and juiciest of Florida oranges. For those seeking an alternative fruity escape, VELO Icy Berries presents a refreshing berry fusion bursting with flavour. There’s a lovely touch of mint in there, too!

If you crave something unconventional, VELO Fresh Jalapeno offers a spicy twist sure to tantalise your taste buds. It’s a flavour for all the thrill seekers out there. And lastly, VELO Mango Flame introduces an exotic, juicy mango essence with a hint of spice that will have you feeling like you’re strolling the beaches of Mexico!

Performance: Do Velo Nicotine Pouches Hit the Spot?

VELO nicotine pouches boast one of the most extensive ranges of strengths available on the market. Whether you prefer a subtle nudge or a robust kick, VELO caters to your needs. The brand starts with a gentle 4mg per pouch option and goes all the way up to a substantial 20mg per pouch, with plenty in between. All in all, VELO has twelve different strength offerings across the countries it serves in Europe. And like the flavours, strength offerings can vary from one country to the next.

Moreover, VELO employs a user-friendly Dot system to indicate pouch strength. Canisters range from a mild 1/4 Dot to a potent 6/6 Dot, providing a comprehensive guide for your flavour and strength journey. The brand also offers canisters in both Mini and Slim formats.

I know, I know—that’s a lot of information to take in. VELO nicotine pouches seriously come in a lot of different formats. So, here’s a quick and simple breakdown to provide more information on VELO’s formats:

Mini 1/4 Dot → 4mg or 5mg of nicotine per pouch

Mini 2/4 Dot → 6mg of nicotine per pouch

Mini 3/4 Dot → 8mg or 10mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 2/4 Dot → 6mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 3/4 Dot → 7.9mg or 10mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 4/4 Dot → 10.9mg or 11mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 4/6 Dot → 11mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 5/5 Dot → 14mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 5/6 Dot → 14mg or 15mg of nicotine per pouch

Slim 6/6 Dot → 17mg or 20mg of nicotine per pouch

Lead Reviewer - Louise - Overall

The moment we’ve all been waiting for: VELO nicotine pouches. Aside from ZYN, this brand is practically unmatched on the market. VELO has more flavours and more strength offerings than a mere mortal could possibly imagine. That means there’s a little something for everyone. It doesn't matter if your go-to is citrus, mint, spice, cola, or some other flavour—VELO will have it. It’s very easy to see why this brand has become such a titan of the industry!

What the Team Thought

James's Review

Summary

Ah, VELO. The crème de la crème of nicotine pouches. If you enjoy pouches, you enjoy VELO. And you know what? Even if you don’t enjoy pouches, you’ve probably at least heard of VELO. This is quite honestly one of the ultimate brands out there. Their flavour range is unparalleled. The nicotine offerings aren’t half-bad either. Part of me does wish they had a few more super-strong nicotine options, but I can’t complain too much. The design of the canisters is also pretty exceptional.

Pros

Yeah, the flavour range is ridiculous. No matter what you want, VELO has it.

And the taste of these flavours is divine. From Orange Spark to Punchy Lime to Royal Violet, there are so many VELO flavours to love.

As I said, the design of the canisters is quite lovely. Especially the ones where VELO really goes bold with their colouring. The nicotine strength range is mighty. VELO has always offered stronger options for fellas like me.

Cons

This whole rebranding business is a tad confusing. Will my favourite flavours still be offered in the UK this time next year? I hope so!

Stephen's Review

Summary

Everybody in the UK knows VELO. The brand is up there with ZYN in terms of pure popularity. Basically, it’s everyone’s favourite brand, and it’s easy to see why. The flavours are delightful, and so is the strength range. There is so, so much to love about VELO. There are a few flavours in here I’ve never tried, so I’m excited to get down to business!

Pros

By far one of the best flavour ranges on the market. What else is there to say?

The same goes for VELO’s nicotine strength range. It’s unbeatable.

Aside from the flavour range being vast, VELO’s flavours are also DELICIOUS!

Cons

The rebranding they’re going through has been somewhat confusing. I don’t see why they’ve had to change the names of flavours.

Clares's Review

Summary

I’ve loved VELO for a while now. They are FAR AND AWAY one of the best brands out there. There are so many delectable minty options—how could a minty girl like me not love it? But what I really love about VELO (and what a lot of my friends love too) is their insane strength range. I’ve honestly yet to see another brand that offers this many strengths. It’s so delightful and inclusive!

Pros

VELO is a mint lover’s paradise. And a fruit lover’s paradise. And just about every other flavour lover’s paradise!

I could write poems about how wonderful the VELO strength range is.

This is an extension of the above two pros—how can you not love a brand that tries to appeal to such a wide audience? VELO cares!

Cons

While I adore VELO’s canister design, I wish they would have less variety. Sometimes I find it difficult to spot their brand, because I'm like, 'Is that another new VELO design?'

The Two Wombat Verdict

Everybody knows VELO nicotine pouches. It is by and large the most popular brand on the market, right next to ZYN. And the reason behind VELO’s popularity is quite obvious. The brand is bold, daring, and innovative in terms of introducing new flavours and nicotine varieties.

Looking for something spicy and unique? Try one of VELO’s cinnamon-forward flavours. Or do you want something classically minty? Then go for Bright Spearmint! Perhaps you’re a fruit lover? You can’t go wrong with Urban Vibe or Zesty Elderflower. With VELO nicotine pouches, there is truly a little something for everybody.
